Presenting the third generation of Staufenbiels dynamic all-rounder
Staufenbiels Epsilon Competition 3 is a floater for all conditions that isn’t afraid of aerobatics. By using the proven steel wing joiner we have made the wing extremely robust and it can take it if you want to shift your flight style to sport mode on the slope. The model boasts a painted fiberglass fuselage for a nice seamless finish. Wings and fuselage have been reinforced with carbon fibre. The foam core wings are sheeted with high quality abachi wood and have flaps. The wings come pre-covered in ORACOVER foil
Go hunting for thermals with the Epsilon Competition 3 and have fun descending while doing aerobatics like loopings, rolls and turns.

Very nice! I enjoy cutting the throttle and flying for 30-40 minutes (until I get tired) chasing thermals with my Parkzone Radian. I can only imagine how much fun a plane like that would be. Very interesting and fun aspect of the hobby we share...enjoy!

[@ArcticRc]

Beautiful glider and flight😊

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Hubert did great job my friend.

[@GaryLaaks1]

Gotta say that gliders look so darn elegant. My longest flight was just over 90 minutes from a winch launch. 2m Sig Riser no motor. Had to land coz my neck was complaining bitterly from looking up all the time.

[@FromAboveAndBeyondChannel]

Thats a Nice glider Hubert, Salute guys 👌😁

[@lesliemiller5980]

Trolley is so cool. Hubert only uses 2 positions? Maybe Blaz can show him some of his favorites! You guys always make me laugh. Nice flight, big "salute" to Capt. Hubert.

[@MrJdsenior]

Pretty powered sailplane. They are not hard to hand launch, but you do need some speed and fairly level, too nose up can be a disaster. I even hand launched my 8' into a thermal a couple of times. That is a seriously high aspect wing. In Florida you could literally thermal that thing all day long on one charge. Had several flights out to 2 hrs where I wasn't out of lift, just out of Tx and Rx batteries. And yeah, if there is one square foot of uncut grass in a thousand acre field, I always seemed to find it too. The worst was one morning I went out to where they had a very short grass prepared field, and it was wet. I brought it down to a feather like landing, and it kept going and going and going until it found something to hit. Shocked the crap out of me. I was used to 2' "roll" outs, this one was about 20'. I would have sworn it couldn't have gone further on wheel(s). Another one of those wonderful 'live and learn' moments. Have you watched any of the dynamic slope soaring videos on YT? RC sailplanes hitting right at 400 mph. Amazing. I would be literally shaking trying to fly one of those.

[@bmpowellicio]

I saw that fabulous plane in Dortmund at the show three years ago and was very tempted to buy. I don't know where Staufenbiel have been since, their supplies seem to have dried up. It looks a bit more relaxing than the Simprop Excel 3 I was flying yesterday, it took 5 attempts to land it with all that excess speed and mass. Its the same as Hubert suggested for the Epsilon, you have to watch for a stall and spin if you fly too slowly. But we all enjoy the wooosh, something you don't much get with power-planes. I think mine is set up for 6 cells because it has an 80amp esc, but on just three it rips out of my hand at half power, so six cells will be 'exciting' (if my heart can cope) Gliders are such great planes to fly. I really hope the three of you can get that 6m glider of yours operational.

[@HubertSalzmann]

Michael Powell true...turns are a little difficult when getting too slow!!

[@terryforbes4038]

Other than Gas R/C Hydros, I fly Sailplanes. From 60” to 140” . I hand launch them all with No Running . Many are unpowered. Only flying on the power of the suns creation of thermals. A simple Hi-Start is all that’s required for gliders up to 118”, for myself anyway. I do have a electric winch also. Thanks for sharing. Terry&ThePirates South Florida

Yeahhh.. The famor trolley... You can see on another video how you can fail with it as well...

[@phillipennis1082]

NICE!

[@neilryans408]

Pity you didn't tow launch the Epsilon glider, now that would have been something to watch !! But still an excellent flight and plane !

[@M0rdH0rst]

That's a nice glider and a good deal. Btw. Staufenbiel just became part of Horizon Hobby. In the past I've ordered parts from them and was a little baffled, when one day the Horizon Hobby shop appeared, when I was clicking the Staufenbiel shop.

[@steunsoul]

Nice flying, but skip the trolly! In my opinion the original motor is underpowered. Just upgrade the motor to a 4250 500Kv, run a 16x13 prop us a 4s 3000. It will pull 1000watts. To launch the plane, grap the plane direct behind the wing, hand around the fuselage. With full throttle, trough it like a dart. I done this many time with my epsilon2. I have the older version with balsa wings instead of abachi. Also I have replace the steal wingroth for a carbonroth, save around 300 grams. In total my Epsilon weights 3250 grams. So for the looks of it you're Epsilon is flying faster, CG looks spot on (mine is at 113mm). Happy flying, Salute!!

[@DadsRCHangar]

Great glider 👍🏻

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

And such great deal it was.

Landing on the ground with the flaps down will eventually lead to damaged flap servos and/or flap hinge problems.
