I don't know how I ended up here, but I got this video as recommended. I love the scenery in your videos, how a glide flies, and especially noiseless and peaceful fly. Those beep sounds never bother me, because I always fly with two noisy turbo fans. haha

Do you have water? What about the climbing power with full weight? Thanks for the beautiful ride!!

[@SteFly]

Yes, I launched with 45 kg/m² wingloading. So I had about 60 liters of water with me at the beginning and during the first half of the flight. I should have dropped the water earlier because the weather was not so good...

Nice flight, first time I virtually rode in a glider. Easy to figure out the tones are VSI but wonder if air-speed is involved, tho it didn't seem so. Nice having some battery power when you need it. Not sure the surprise based on the title, but guessing maybe the rain. Great flight in a beautiful area.

Der Landeanflug über den Häusern, mega ... und die Landung, perfekt, well done :)

[@vancouversoaring]

Is there an optimal strategy for using the FES in competition? For example, is it better to use it early to save your altitude ... or wait until you've gotten low and then use it to sustain until you hit lift? Or maybe shortcuts across blue holes? I also have an FES but have never flown competitions. I rarely use the FES and I only have about 20 cycles on the motor after flying it for 7 years although I've started using it more lately. It would be interesting to know if there was something like a MacCready strategy for FES. Also ... I'm extremely jealous that you get to fly around Italy!!!

[@voornaam3191]

@@benjaminbenavidesiglesias52 We call it humor. Have you ever seen people pulling a strange face, and producing weird noises, like haha or hee heee hee? Things you do or say that make people react so weird, that is called humor. It is contageous, it is a social thing, the more people witness your humor, the better. You could try hurting yourself in public on purpose, making it look like an accident. Don't over do it, getting badly wounded or passing away is not always appreciated. Fire arm accidents are very funny, somebody buys a gun to feel safer, and what happens, he forgets the safety catch and shoots in his own foot. Would you feel safe, around such a moron? No, huh, and that is ironic, and that is funny. But those fire arm people have less humor, so shooting yourself and repeatedly crying you expected to feel much safer, I'd not recommend it everywhere. So, be a bit careful how bad you hurt yourself. Stumbling and falling to the ground or smashing into sign posts, pretending not to have seen the obstacles, though it hurts a lot, it usually does the trick. Have fun, trying your first humor. Later on, you'll discover that comparing is also humor. Comparing an electric glider to a smoothy blender is the first example. You did not recognize it, but after my hint, do you see it? It spins and it makes a lot of noise because it has a powerful electric motor. And it has some blades that would cut off your fingers without any trouble. Smoothie. E-glider. Got it? Gee, you got to explain literally EVERTHING to some people. Why is it my turn? Help!

As a service tech, I like how he locks his front door. The screws that hold it in place are not only loose but are on the wrong side of the door, so all you have to do is unscrew the door lock and you are in, hahhahah.

[@Larsino2000]

As a service tech you should know that this is a european style lock and the screw on the front is to keep te decoration in place. To remove the lock you need to unscrew the side of the lock which you can only access if the door is unlocked and open.

[@glentaker]

why does this aircraft makes whistle sound? so cute

[@filippik95]

I was asking too

[@namedrik5876]

if you're talking about the beeping sound, it's to know if your glider is gaining or losing altitude. if it's high pitched, then the glider is Gaining altidute. if it's low pitched though, the glider is Losing altidute. if the beeping is not "beeping", then the glider is in the same altitude.

[@furisticc721]

@@namedrik5876 nope, he's not talking about the beeping sound

[@ChrizRockster]

If you're talking about airflow sounds, there are various things on the aircraft that could lead to air making a noise such as the canopy, canopy window etc. A slight gap in the canopy seal or canopy sliding vent window could lead to airflow making a whistling noise. If you're talking about the sound like a slide flute, that is the Variometer that indicates a positive or negative effect on altitude. This provides a clear audible feedback to the pilot that they are either gaining or losing altitude.

[@Cladcreeper]

I like your glider. Nice little thing!

[@Athaeus]

It's also an expensive little thing. You could get a fancy aerobatic aircraft for the cost of that glider.

The thermal lift indicator.

[@kendarylperez2743]

It's the variometer, it indicates the rate of altitude change (how fast you are climbing/sinking). The higher the pitch and more frequent the beeps the faster you are climbing and vice versa.

Well getting a sport license you can use for a glider is about 2000€ plus 1100€ yearly to keep your registration. The glider itself can cost you from 5000€ to 10000€ or even 100000€ depending on what you're looking for. Luckly you can just rent a glider pretty cheap and if you got even a cheap one it costs like 15€ for a winch take off so yeah, it's not a cheap investment but after that flying a glider is cheaper than driving a car
