3900km TRAVEL BY GLIDER ! Flying Around PARIS to the ATLANTIC Ep. 2

[@Normski2009]

Fantastic inspirational, you do what most of us glider pilots dream of. Fly cross-country without the competition aspect, just for the pure joy of soaring! Love it!! Thank you for sharing your adventure.

[@SteFly]

Thank you!

[@musflickdesigning]

Seeing you eat, while flying makes me feel you that how cozy you're feeling. Also I feel how greatful it might feel to enjoy the creations of God while exploring the creations of the peak and enjoy the moment. I can feel the song through you, "So live a live you'd remember"

Segelfliegen wird nie langweilig. Super Video!

[@dietergalle]

Wieder ein Video voller guter Laune. Hat wieder einmal Freude gemacht, Dich zu begleiten. Vielen Dank!

[@SteFly]

Freut mich sehr!

[@KestrelYI]

Excellent journey :). Looking forward to the next parts.

[@PureGlide]

Epic! I can only dream of having space for a tent lol

[@jonstehlik7745]

Excellent content! Perhaps for another video one day, your planning considerations for these types of multi-day cross country flights, in terms of determining distance/day, where to stay overnight, etc. Have inspired me to start looking into doing these in the USA, although likely a bit more difficult with the much lower count of glider airfields.

[@r.p.3192]

So was ähnliches wie „Segeltrampen“ was ihr da macht. Toll! Geniesst es, man weiss nie, was die Zukunft für uns bereit hält (…). Holm und Rippenbruch Stefan 👍🤙

[@henningb.1707]

Großartig, Stefan! Das sind genau die Dinge, die wir so lieben! Wünsche euch eine tolle Reise und weiterhin so gute Bedingungen.

[@CyclingMikey]

SUPERCUB!!!! That was our club's towplane.

[@leonbrandt5050]

Wie schön, man konnte viel lernen, was man fürs Segelfliegen benutzen kann. Vielen lieben Dank dir

[@SteFly]

Das freut mich sehr!

Hi Stefan I am enjoying your videos nearly from the first day. Thank you very much for all of them. I recognized that you always have your variometer in cruise mode and i would appreciate if you could share your thoughts on McCready theory, speed to fly indicator and so on. How do you select your airspeed in cruise and how do you weight the different factors? I know, this is a very complex topic ... perhaps you find some time to create a videotutorial on this for cross country greenhorns like me?!

[@The_Modeling_Underdog]

Quality content. Great video, Stefan. Looking forward to the next episode. Cheers.

[@svenhustedt8872]

sehr cooles video :-) hab mein schnupperkurs soweit durch und meine ersten flugversuche gut überstanden 🙂 am samstag geb ich den antrag für die mitgliedschaft ab mich hatts total erwischt

[@hangfly1]

Bravo Stefan and Felix! These trips you are making would make for some awesome glider XC rallies some day. Cheers!

[@b_wisniewski]

Fantastic. Can't wait for next videos!

Super!!! It’s mi dream

14:29 Rouen !! always nice from above !

[@TheGorillafoot]

That's awesome. Had no idea about this.

[@gonegliding2966]

Magnificent! Come out to Australia and try the same sort of trip. I'm sure we can start you off from here at Tocumwal

[@TheSkipjack95]

Well this was right in my turf ! I fly out of Beynes (LFPF) and attempted to go around the Evreux Airspace once before through Bernay, did not work ^^ Lovely area though

[@ParamariboCloser]

11:30 a bird! Wow

[@swordfish00007]

Great video bro and thanks for sharing this. Your picture is ultra clear. What kind of camera are you using for this?

[@TheRobes84]

Top!

[@romaindec1717]

You went to Buno and then you flew over Mortagne au Perche which means you were no that far from Chartres which is my airfield

[@IgotQuestions.]

Great 💪💪💪

[@93455Driver]

Spend most of my you tube time watching car videos, but for some reason, soaring videos also are great to watch. Question, do the glider batteries need charging everyday? Also can the glider battery charge the phone?

[@littleoad]

You often charge the batteries every time after flying(some batteries may need charging all year) . As there might be great weather the next day. And no. Phones cant be charged, its only for the instruments (atleast its so in my club)

[@Nico9472_]

Wait did you fit that tent in your LS3?

[@mountain.view.escapes]

Stefan deine Videos feiere ich sehr! Ich habe ne Frage zu deine Starts wo du dich in einem anderen Land schleppen lässt! Wie läuft das ab? Muss man da für was zahlen? Grüße aus Österreich

[@vishtayeganeh174]

Beautiful trip . How much is the cost of ownership annually ?

[@Xantec]

can you explain the buttons on the head of the control stalk please

[@alexhelms8048]

I know nothing about gliding, but it looks like a lot of fun. Whats are the beeps and whirs we hear while you are flying? Is it just instrumentation noises?

[@MisteurCraft]

Biping comes from the total energy variometer, an instrument that glider pilot's heavily rely on. It's initially a needle instrument, but the bip allows pilot to focus more on the exterior rather than constantly looking at it.

[@kauffi4626]

Ich will nichts sagen, aber guckst du Fritz Meinecke? Das Intro erinnert mich so ein bisschen daran🧐😂

[@FFFStudioSH]

As a current paragliding student, I dream with having a glider one day. I wonder what is the cost of flying aside of the purchasing. How much is for each tow? What about maintenance of the aircraft?

[@SteFly]

The tow depends on the local club. From 20€ to 40€ is a normal price in Germany. A tow up to 1000m may cost up to 100€ in France or Italy, but that's the worst case. Insurance and air worthiness review for a club class glider is about 1000€ per year. There is not a lot of maintenance on a pure glider, most of the things can be done by yourself with instruction of the inspector.ä

[@FFFStudioSH]

@@SteFly Thank you for the answer, somehow is almost cheaper that paragliding, even in China where I live at the moment they charge you between 3 to 10 euros everytime they take you uphill to jump, unless you get some good thermals, you wont be up in the air for that long. Amazing sport, I will continue following your channel hopping one day I can start to fly myself. Great content :)

[@coasternut3091]

Do the VSIs in gliders function similarly to the ones in planes?

[@kukucrafting]

Just attach a mini jet to gain altitude and speed in mid air

[@machineo12887]

Having a sandwich in the sky is a new life goal

[@romeosherman5377]

Nice travel journey! What was your backup plan in case of an out-landing? :) tow-out?

[@vicrattlehead8665]

The boy r2d2 was talkin some serious shit there

[@Xantec]

is it batteries or a RAT that powers the instruments on the dash like the GPS display?

[@SteFly]

Two batteries with 120 Wh

[@josephb13]

Stefan, just curious which glider do you enjoy flying the most and what are your thoughts of the libelle if you’ve flown one?

[@SteFly]

I like gliders which gives the pilot a lot of feedback what´s going on in the air. At the moment I´m enjoying the LS3 very much. The Std. Libelle is a great glider and I learned cross country flying on it. In terms of performance, there is a big step between Std. Libelle and LS3. Not 100% happy with the ASG29, or at least I need to fly it more often to get used to it. I would miss the LS3 more than the ASG29 :D

[@josephb13]

@@SteFly Brilliant! Can’t wait to fly a std libelle

[@thomasthornton5737]

[@automedoniliad3269]

Why even use a tent if the weather is nice, just lay down and sleep 😂

[@siranonym6332]

Würdest du mir raten einen segelflugzeug Schein zu machen?

[@ssio6092]

Nach dem ich seine Videos gesehen habe, frage ich mich das ehrlich gesagt auch. Ich finde das faszinierend und auch wenn du mal alleine Ferien hast und alle arbeiten müssen, kannst du packen und für dich einen Ausflug machen. Und zwar nicht einfach paar Km, sondern über weite Strecken. Das muss ein Erlebnis sein.

[@legorj35]

what if you have to go to the toilet?

I always thought glider is dumb the fact you need plane to pull your plane now with jets your all set it's now plane that isent stupid

[@vishtayeganeh174]

Beautiful trip . How much is the cost of ownership annually ?

[@SteFly]

About 1500 € per year for insurance, inspection and some spare parts. The glider incl accessory costs between 25k - 40k

[@vishtayeganeh174]

@@SteFly the 25k to 40k cost is fix cost I assume and 1500 euro is anual cost including insurance . Its good that with having glider the Hanger cost of aerodrome is eliminated . This is a big advantage against of owning light aircraft . ( hangar cost, maitentence , fuel , etc...) Then I need only to find a club in Valencia and take the course .... Actually looks like there is not glider school in Valencia but you may have some connection and its appreciated if you introduce them to me . Have a safe flight and Regards from Valencia
