Hey Stefan, just wanted to let you know you inspired me to fly my first glider this last weekend. It was literally a dream come true I never thought would happen and your videos were the reason I am now on my way to being a pilot. I’m so grateful! Love the videos, happy flying!

Fun little adventure Stefan. I certainly would appreciate if you went through the charging procedure and hardware used to charge the glider as I have an interest in the next few years to purchase such a glider and do safaris like you have done and would interested to see what is involved and what the challenges might be.

Congratulations to this nice Adventure as one of hundreds Instructors of Jubi Juist, I really enjoy your perfekt and informative Video. Thanks for Sharing these Pictures ......I flew there for the last 16 years every year 10 to 20days and next year I will take part again for min 10days 😊

Hello Stefan. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Im an old glider pilot that havent flown in years, but many times dream back to those days as they were full of fantastic and memorable moments.. One of those discussions we often had was the discussions of electrical powered motorgliders - something none really regarded as a serious discussion back then. But now here, you show a video with a perfectly well fitted electrical glider. Somehow this brings an even bigger smile to my (old) face. Happy flights!

Mit diesem Trip nach Juist hast Du auf eindrucksvolle Weise eine Facette (und damit die Vielseitigkeit des Fliegers) u.a. als "Reisegleiter" dargestellt. Das war sicher eine spontane, aber super tolle Idee. Das Wetter und das Licht, die Momente auf dem Juist Trip waren wirklich einzigartig und atemberaubend. Herzlichen Glückwunsch noch zu Deinem Erfolg in Uvalde.

Nice, fun to watch you fly when all of us are on the ground for the winter. Where to go? , it would be a long shot for you - summers are short - but Wa state is pretty darn nice. Big mountains, an amazing plateau, volcanoes, glaciers, desert terrain - lots of relatively unlandable terrain. You could break all the state records in that as-33, although well give you some solid competition.

Even though your glider is brand new, I would love to see the things you do maintenance-wise to keep the glider looking and performing like new long into the future. 👍

@SteFly 2 ай бұрын

At least it needs a proper cleaning and polishing after all the sand

@cloudstreets1396 2 ай бұрын

@ and it would be interesting to learn about the battery and charging system. Often times there are things that need to be done to keep a battery healthy like deep cycling, etc.

Is that a Hacker brushless outrunner? I saw these on their website several years ago, and instantly recognized their ability to power a sailplane-like aircraft having very low drag.

Smooth calm glides. Another plus for enjoying the air. Tell us more about the extension cord. Was it old or long? Was it a repaired end that overheated?

@SteFly 2 ай бұрын

I´m not completely sure what caused the problem. My guess is salt water air corroded the power outlet and the contact resistance was too high, which caused a lot of heat. At the end we were lucky, that nothing burnt.

@upskonn 2 ай бұрын

i see you're not wearing ear protection so how loud is it inside? My clubs Grob G103 c Twin III SL is super loud and we need to wear headphones when the engine is running.

@SteFly 2 ай бұрын

It´s an electric motor but of course the propeller also makes vibration and a sound. The noise is still ok to hear the radio and much better than combustion engines.

did you take the charger with you? my JS3 RES charger is a bit too big and only does 1KW

@SteFly 2 ай бұрын

Yes, the standard charger fits into the luggage compartment. At the AS33 you can select between 0.5 kW and 3 kW charging power.

@AndrewBashtovoy 2 ай бұрын

Tolle Saison, Stefan. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, die Batterie aus dem AS33Me-Kotflügel herauszunehmen, um sie im Winter in einem warmen Raum zu lagern?

@SteFly 2 ай бұрын

@@AndrewBashtovoy Ja, das kann man machen. Meinen Anhänger mit Flugzeug kann ich aber in einer leicht beheizten Garage abstellen. Jetzt muss die AS33 aber erst einmal vom Sand befreit werden.

Was für eine Reichweite kannst du ohne Aufwind mit deinem Flugzeug erzielen? Hast du dazu eine ungefähre Schätzung oder schon Erfahrungswerte?

@SteFly 2 ай бұрын

Zwischen 100 und 130 km. Bei diesen beiden Flügen habe ich im Endeffekt eine komplette Akkuladung verflogen, hatte aber insgesamt noch etwa 1300 m Höhenreserve. Mein Flugweg war ca. 75 km und mit weiteren 1000 m Höhe kommt man ca. 50 km weit.

@Ca99-iz2ey 2 ай бұрын

@@SteFly Das hört sich echt toll an. Die AS33 Me kann man dann offensichtlich im Winter auch für schöne Ausflüge nutzen 👍Auf was für ein Steigen bekommst du ungefähr? Ca. 3 m/s? Und wenn ich es richtig verstehe, könntest du mit einer Akkuladung 2.500 m hoch steigen? Passt das so in Etwa?
