Low Save in Italy 🇮🇹 | eGlider 15 m LS8-e neo

[@racko651]

When you started the motor it scared the life out of me!

[@kn4579]

nice flying. It was reassuring with the vario needle pointing up and your friend appeared at 5:47!!

[@turbofan450]

Me (a new viewer) at 3:40 : Hey! That's cheating! lol

[@arminmoller9927]

E Glider driving can compared with Bird of Prey . When they have to flap with their wings, you will use your E Sustainer. A great thing 👍

[@SteFly]

Thank you! Yes, that´s true. And you still have to use the electrical energy in the best way, so that you don´t waste the limited power. ;)

[@ANDYCOSER]

Wow! You did a very low level on the side of Mount Prinzera, the mountain with antenna on the top at the start of video! Was my home location when I was flying paragliders

[@fellpower]

Toller Flieger. Toll geflogen. Hast echt ne tolle Blase erwischt. Da hätte man gern selbst drin gesessen. ;)

[@SteFly]

Danke! So einen guten Aufwind hätte ich an dem Tag öfter gebraucht. Davor war es schon sehr schwierig und spannend.

[@jjiacobucci]

Excellent ! Bravo ! Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Michigan, USA.

[@paulcroft3717]

Hi Stephan. What is the noise at 5:28 with the red light flashing on the FCU. Are you repositioning the propeller? I thought that was automatically done on the FES.

[@SteFly]

Hi Paul, I was using the electrical bugwipers at 5:28. But I don´t know why the red light was flashing.

[@allan500m]

If you really want do do flying, sail planes are one of (if not THE) cheapest way of getting into flying.

[@anonymxs._7570]

@@allan500m I fly. But it's still expensive compared to swimming or so.

[@gregcaspn]

This glider probably costs in the neighborhood of $300 k... it is very expensive !!

[@allan500m]

@@anonymxs._7570 Yes, flying is still more expensive than swimming, playing soccer or just running :-)

[@allan500m]

@@gregcaspn In Denmark most people who do sail planes don't own the sail planes themselves. Instead they are member of a club, paying a monthly fee of around 100 Euros, and then they can just borrow sail planes from the club.

I am trying to find how much this model soarplane costs. Are they available in the US?

[@vale5566lol]

Mich würde Mal interessieren was da die ganze Zeit piept und so ein Ton macht. 😅 Welche Funktion/Aufgabe hat er?

[@SteFly]

Das ist ein akustisches Variometer welches einem sagt, ob die Luft steigt oder sinkt. Es ist also ein elementares Feature bei Segelfliegern. Es gibt auch eine optische Anzeigen dazu im Cockpit (die beiden Rundinstrumente im Panel auf der rechten Seite).

[@juhakettunen7971]

So, how exactly does this 2 kWh allowance work? I understand that you can use that much during task at your own discretion (and I love the tactical implications of that), but what if you use more? Penalty points on the day score? Or is it considered an end of task (equivalent of an outlanding) at the point where the quota is exeeded? How about if you use less, is there a bonus or something? Can there ever be a situation when you wouldn't want to use all of the quota to begin the final glide that much further out?

[@vincefrommenton]

[@drdoolittle5724]

Totally brilliant, 1st time seen glider vid with so much going on what with depressing no lift start, suddenly with no notice a life enhancing electric motor saving you then a raptor and fellow glider appearing as you once again spiral up into the heavens!!! You don't appear to constantly adjust flap like the American guy who appears on KZbin?

[@SteFly]

Thank you! This glider does not have flaps 😉

Guys how does it coast? :D

[@torcus497]

Hi, bin 14,auch Segelflieger und habe schon meine A. ich habe eine Frage und zwar: wie hast du ein Gefühl dafür bekommen, wann man mit gutem Gewissen in solche Gebiete (Bodennah, bei schwacher Thermik) Fliegen kann und wann nicht. Gut, in diesem Video hast du noch ne Absicherung durch deinen Motor, aber wie bzw. nach welchen Kriterien schätzt du so etwas ab? da wo du teilweise reinfliegst würde ich nach meinem jetzigen Stand in 100 Jahren nicht hinfliegen XD. Schönen Gruß torcus

[@SteFly]

Hi Torcus, am besten macht man das nicht! In diesem Fall hat mir der FES Antrieb eine zusätzliche Sicherheit gegeben und notfalls hätte ich noch ein "Notlandefeld" erreicht. Mit einem Segelflugzeug ohne Motor wäre ich aber das Risiko auch nicht eingegangen, dafür kenne ich die Gegend zu wenig. Als Flugschüler und junger Scheininhaber ist es wichtig sich langsam an den Überlandflug und damit verbunden auch an Außenlandungen heranzutasten. Darüber muss man erst einmal viel Erfahrung sammeln. Im Endeffekt muss jeder Pilot sich selber über seine Risiken im klaren sein. Manche gehen mehr Risiken ein, manche weniger.

[@Twobarpsi]

The vario always sounds so sad, when you are in sink.

[@Cladcreeper]

Gliders look nice! Would like to fly one!

[@Deutscher778]

[@michaelderflinger5002]

In US and Europe glider Clubs are pretty common. Just ask and they will be pleased to introduce you to soaring. You can start with your flights at the age of 14 and get your licence at 16. In the US the SSA has a 'where to fly' page: www.ssa.org/WhereToFly For the UK the British Gliding Association has a great website with all the information you want: www.gliding.co.uk/club-finder/ Watch the channel wolds glider pilot to see how a young pilot does his practical education. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXPKiaWPjNV0btk By watching his videos I decided for myself, Hey I can do this too... All the best from Vienna

[@SteFly]

Find out where your next gliding club is located and get into action. There you can make a trial flight and get into touch with other students and pilots.

[@michaelderflinger5002]

@@SteFly :D Just edited my comment as you were writing the same advise. Great video! I wondered if there was any reason why you didn't center the thermal earlier. It was clearly stronger on one side.

[@Cladcreeper]

My nearest gliding club is in Norfolk. A nice place to start at.

[@Prezeseq1]

How much is it?

[@billsmith167]

20,000$ to 50,000$

[@foxergaming4436]

How to make contro

[@darkiee69]

Doesn't look like the best place to plan an outlanding, not a flat field around. ;)

[@SteFly]

In general that was not a easy competition area for making outlandings. At the river valley it is flat and would have been possible for making an outlanding.

[@n2b998]

Just a few km down the valley from Monte Prinzera there is also the gliding club at Rubbiano. Low, but not unsafe…

[@manfred7142]

When your so early only 360p is available!

[@SteFly]

[@jasc178]

why is there so much wind noise in the cabin?

[@1701_FyldeFlyer]

Because he's flying at about 120 knots and a glider is a minimalist build to save weight. Ergo next to no soundproofing.

[@antondepechy5808]

@@1701_FyldeFlyer hell no he's flying at 120kmh 😂

Do you here an engine.....that's why you hear the wind . A power plane that's all you hear is the engine

what is happened? why do you were flying like this?

[@SteFly]

The area where I came from was covered with clouds and I did not find any thermals to gain altitude.

[@DriveLongRoad]

Segelflieger mit Motor ist ja irgendwie schummeln. ;)

[@sujittamang1802]

How much does this things cost?? How many flying hours needed?

[@SteFly]

The complete package of the glider, equipment and trailer costs about 150.000 € + VAT. You need a sailplane pilot license to fly this glider. I´m not sure about the minimum hours needed for the license, but it takes some time.

[@troublehd7236]

[@kyloshoren418]

Can i ask why in the most stress situations you have to also hear the most annoying sound in the world? I really want to know

[@SteFly]

Because this sound is the acoustic variomter and it tells you if the air is rising or not. So it is very important to find lifts and at the same time you are able to look outside of the cockpit to the clouds, birds and other important factors that can help you to find thermals.

No such thing as a low save when you have a motor...

[@BeyondWrittenWords]

the beeper so annoying and unnecessary

[@SteFly]

It is necessary, because we glider pilots want to stay in the air without engine. The variometer is the most important instrument of a glider and beeing able to look outside of the cockpit and knowing if the air is rising or not, is very useful.
