Glider Flight to the AUSTRIAN border | Nearly lost a Bugwiper

[@stewiepid4385]

This makes me smile and gladdens my heart to see you flying again. Continue to have good winds and safe landings Mr. Langer.

[@Astropowergtv]

Love to see that some is living true life

[@lautoka63]

Thank you; that would have been a more sensible thing for me to do. Now, I just have to convince my syndicate partners.

[@tadeksmutek5840]

Thank you, Stefan, for sharing this great video and your in-flight comments regarding your decisions! As always interesting and providing me better, optimistic mood in the morning! Fly high and save!:-)

[@dalesplanes]

Stefan I really love your videos especially the one flying through the funnel cloud.amazing hands down the best.

[@CalebNorthNorman]

I see the snow is all melted there. I am used to them only showing the Alps during Ski season on travel documentaries. Absolutely beautiful over there!

[@flytelaw1]

Looks like great development and high cloud base...nicely flown...nice to hear the vario sing:-)

[@martingriffiths9851]

Awesome footage, thanks for sharing. Be interested in hearing some of your technical decisions when flying around the mountains.

[@user-sf9pq5ox7w]

nice! great conditions. can't believe the long run on the ground to the trailer. thanks.

[@stewiepid4385]

@5:33 That ridge view is Butter!!!

[@anonymxs._7570]

We also flew the week :-) I was so happy to finally fly again

[@andrewmack4830]

Very Nice. You are fortunate to be able to get out, and fly!!! I had a booking to glide from Innsbruck in April, but Corona virus stopped my fun!!

[@roberthaugen9117]

Nice Stefan, Thanks for the ride!

[@adamhibberd9056]

So cool that its just you, the wings, and nothing else

[@carljacobs1287]

Ha ha. Talking to the glider on the ground roll - I've done that!

[@user-jq4hm5kr3b]

Hey Stefan, in welchem Flugzeug bist du da geflogen? Scheint mir die ASG 29 zu sein.

[@haraldschevik5213]

Tolles Video Stefan! Mach weiter so!

[@alvink2112]

what do you have shown on your screen? eg: AGL altitude, heading etc.

[@jamex7704]

Für nen Anfänger wie mich sind die Videos echt super lehrreich👍Danke dir und mach bitte weiter so🙃

[@56932982]

How much G-force do you experience when circling up a thermal? (I suspect aerobatics will be cause much higher G-forces then thermaling?) And what is the max G-force loading on a typical glider?

[@michaelderflinger5002]

All modern gliders (Aerobatic in brackets) must withstand a G-loading of +5.3/-2.65 (+7/-5) with a factor of safety of 1.5 [see EASA sailplane rulebook, page 84 and following]. During thermaling in a 45° bank circle (which is pretty typical) one would expierience a G-load of 1.41 (Sq.root of 2) due to circling aditionally you feel the bumps from turbulent air.

[@ministeriumfurstartsicherh9895]

Yes, totally right, we are not allowed to fly across the border in the moment. Ist das was da so knarzt die Haube? Da gäbe es so Streifen... ;-)

[@michaelderflinger5002]

Wenn man sich die Flüge der letzten Tage ab 18.5.2020 auf sis.streckenflug.at (OLC für AT) anschaut waren aber viele Österreicher im Bayrischen Wald und Tschechien unterwegs...

[@paologuardigli9921]

Ciao Stefan nice to see you can fly in all Germany without restrictions.

[@josephfreeman5289]

that landing was awesome right next to trailers. too cool

[@naibser2305]

Color footage of a test flying Heinkel He-162 in the German Alps 1945 colorized and restored in 4K.

[@CalebNorthNorman]

Wow! I think I understand why bugs on the leading edge can slow you down or change airflow over the wing, but How high an attitude do bugs fly up to?

Bugs don't fly up per se but carried up by thermals so they can get to cloud base.

[@CalebNorthNorman]

@ O I see 👍

[@Astropowergtv]

How much time you spend in air

[@johnelvy9657]

Hi Stefan, great videos as always! What sort of timeframe would you expect to transition from a 2 seater trainer club glider to a fabulous machine such as yours? Speaking as someone who could one day invest in one. Many thanks and keep up the good work 👍

[@ModellpilotEU]

Lieber Stefan, ich liebe Deine Vidoes insbesondere den kleinen Tornado und den Flug an der Küste. Weil ich nicht mehr meinen PPL-C habe wurde was ähnliche mit einer 360° Kamera in einem Quintus M als Modell mit 8,89 m Spannweite gedreht: 2 FAI Dreiecke sind von 12 aufgenommen: Mal kurioses für Dich zum Schmunzeln, lieben Gruß Stephan Eich. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKWklKSDj7Fpaa8

[@PureGlide]

That was awesome. Love the ground roll :)

[@ThomasGreenhill]

Why did the bugwiper behave so weirdly?? Flying too fast?

[@paperclip7003]

Air turbulence that made the wing swing up and down a little and that vibration of the wing made the bugwiper lose connection and then behave like that.

[@maxhammerum7705]

What is the instrument above your variometer?

[@stanislouse4168]

How are those bug wipers workin' for ya?

[@GR-il7jx]

Flying is just amazing :)

[@babboon5764]

Bugwipers? Really? I guess they make sense but how do they work? (They're not fitted to any microlights yet ~ that I know of anyway).

[@ar6us666]

Hast du den Grund herausgefunden warum der Mückenputzer nicht mehr zurück gekommen ist?

[@lautoka63]

Stefan, is the display one of yours, or an LX of some kind? I couldn't quite make it out.

[@michaelderflinger5002]

if you look on his page stefly.aero you will find that it looks like his OpenVario...

[@nikvfr1]

Awesome!

[@Astropowergtv]

How much time it take you to do this

[@Astropowergtv]

@Elias Dolinsek thanks for the help

[@kek207]

Well would it be possible to glide over the Atlantic? I mean using clouds it might work. Of course it’s not safe at all and if you miss one thermal you’re in the middle of the ocean but theoretically it should be possible. Or not?

[@mumblecake251]

There is basically no lift above water. You need stuff to heat up for thermals to form. The ocean is simply gobbling the heat up

[@waynerussell6401]

Yes. The closest project to achieve this would be perlanproject.org/ designed to use the jetstreams.

[@michaelderflinger5002]

@@waynerussell6401 and there are also studies to use automated (cargo) glider drones which use the jet stream for dynamic soaring, like Albatross are doing...

[@IcePunchCA]

15:29 - 15:55 A plane or a glider?

[@scheerlon]

a plane called glider ;)

[@Astropowergtv]

Can you please tell me its price in us dollars

[@Faustoverdenova]

Ya know Stefan? ..My Instructor would always tell me Ask yourself over and over again .. , "if I lost all lift now, where would I go?" ..So, a field a road, maybe an airport // A number of times I have watched your flights and thought .. Stefan must not ask himself that question .. .. Dude! You got way bigger ones than me !!

[@michaelderflinger5002]

Thats has nothing to do with ball size, i think. He is confident that he can work thermals under stress and pull off outlandings. For me it is always astonishing how high the difference of these high performance gliders to Club Class is. Second thats the minimum safty requirement your instructor told you. If you are not obeying, you put yourself in an life threatening situation.

[@NGC1433]

That's ASG-29. He can land tomorrow if he wants.

[@thomasleduc4052]

I am flying in Belgium. Unfortunately this country is very small :(

[@tony8386]

what this grider?

[@eglide73]

Stefan, what is the creaking sound I hear? Is it the wing spar stubs rubbing together? Is there any way to silence it??

[@vortex_un]

3:40 a paraglider would love that :)

[@unknownsidewinder9945]

Is this an ASG 29?

[@timkremers9978]

Yes an asg-29

[@lenny108]

nice video, does this plane has a manual brake?

[@jonathanhunter225]

What's your location

[@Astropowergtv]

Looks like it too slow what's its maximum speed

[@bar04z]

I think it's an ASG 29, so 270kph.

[@A320-q8v]

Отличное видео 👍

[@mokka1115]

Yes, yes we are.

[@mattmatt245]

Stefan, how do you modify McCready settings when flying under the cloud street ? Do you look at it and adjust it somehow ? Thanks.

[@Astropowergtv]

Can you tell me this glider price in dollars

[@nob0dy27_]

in europe, you can get a good ASG29 for around 100000€ used, im guessing its around the same for the us market

[@sonertasli]

You know how to live.

[@Thurzsz]

my dream is to fly a glider

[@Astropowergtv]

You should put a Insta 360 camera on top of it than it will look good

[@raulcastro5032]

En Austria no hay cuarentena o será que a esa altura no llega el virus
