RACE against my BROTHER | LS3 vs. ASG29 15m

[@tomitoth9729]

The best kind of video Stefan! Pure gliding without music, just your narrations! Nice one my friend!

[@SteFly]

Thanks my friend!

[@turtlezz]

Hello Stefan, I have been looking at your videos and I've started to learn gliding in a ASK-21 in a local club in California. I've finished 25 flights. I hit my first thermals during the last 2 classes and I absolutely enjoyed them. Thanks for inspiring and introducing me to flying.

[@CLdriver1960]

So if I understood correctly, you landed first in the LS3 ahead of your brother in the ASG29. That’s what happens when one races against a competition pilot! 👍😊👍 Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

[@darkiee69]

14:18 Hitting warp speed in a glider, not bad. 😂😉

[@brushitoff503]

That was awesome thank you! Even the weird things your go pro was doing was still cool to watch.

[@TheTonynoble]

Yes I liked ‘the new style’ as well. Great to see the vario and other instruments clearly and understand your decision making….illustrating the importance of staying high under cloud streets but not stopping to climb in rubbish :)

[@dimitrisvlachos4400]

climb in rubbish......like storch

[@ravingcyclist624]

Excellent video! Congratulations on your victory! White sailplanes against white clouds. Wouldn't it be better to have colors and patterns to make them easier to see?

[@SteFly]

It's not allowed at the top of the wing because the material gets warm and is not certified therefor

[@ronbranham4307]

Stephan! As usual, fun video to watch. Not telling your brother you have a Warp Drive space engine! Hmmm.

[@SteFly]

My secret propulsion 🚀

[@Steve-ho2mx]

Can you give me a reference to read up the interpretation of the wind on your vario? Great film, like all top pilots you make it look easy! You read the sky so well. Thanks

[@jonathaneyken1176]

Cool video! That vario sounds like a toddler playing the xylophone though.

[@Johan-ex5yj]

Entertaining video, Thanks Stefan. 👍 At 160km/h the LS3 sounds like a Jet! ✈ It looks like your GoPro will soon be a GoDead? ☠

[@SteFly]

I have to discuss the problems with GoPro 😅 In this video I made a huge sound editing, so that you cant hear the really annoying sound of the bad canopy sealing

[@ChrisRRT]

This definitely was entertaining but I pilot a learjet for a charter and I cruise at 250 knots and 160 km is equal to 86knots so not as fast as a jet but still fast for a glider. But seriously this was entertaining even to a jet pilot

[@Johan-ex5yj]

@@ChrisRRT Lucky You! What a great job! 👍 I know a jet is much faster, I was just referring to the wind- noise that (almost) sounds like a jet. 😀

[@ChrisRRT]

@@Johan-ex5yj thank you! Yeah it definitely sounds like a jet engine

Well Stefan, you upgraded the LS3 to LVL99 to beat mighty ASG :-) But I suspect a bit you may outglide it on a broom as well :D

[@IsleofMull2011]

@Stefan... please can you explain, what is the vario that shows the wind direction on your panel..... ??? Is it experimental or something commercially available ?? Is it similar to HAWK from LX ??

[@flyeatsleeprepeat]

Wow, those cumulostradas look amazing!! 🤩

[@sandeepkumarsandeepkumar-ve4yu]

How many glider you have and how much it cost

[@ChrisRRT]

Question do you have a PPL? What license do you have? Do you want to fly other aircraft lile cessna's? I fly learjets now and just curious.

[@SteFly]

I have a SPL and at the moment I´m not interested in a PPL. Gliding is for me pure flying, making turns all the time and feel the motion of the air in the purest form.

[@ChrisRRT]

@@SteFly that's amazing! I was just curious because I find a lot of interest in others aviation paths

[@guojiaxing6933]

Hello, I'm your new audience. I'm wondering if this plane has a power system? Or can it only slide?:)

[@SteFly]

It is a pure glider, so it does not have any propulsion. I only have an aerotow at the start and then I use thermals (natural lifts) to gain energy 🤙🏼

[@guojiaxing6933]

@@SteFly Thanks for reply😄

[@pilot_Julius30]

Sag mal, wie machst du das mit dem Wetter!? Hier in Norddeutschland sind wir zu dieser Jahreszeit froh, wenn es mal 0.2 m/s integriert steigt.

[@SteFly]

Skysight macht das Wetter 😂😂😂

[@cb1p111]

Sebastian Kawa already cutted the runway with his scissors

[@bradjackson9489]

What kind of vario were you getting your wind direction from?

[@SteFly]

A prototype

[@MusicMuse.007]

Yeah nice its cool 😍❤️ from phillipines

[@jsfriedberg]

I like the sounds...

[@Haralddv]

You say gopto made weird things, but is it gopro or a DJI osmo?

[@SteFly]

I bought the new GoPro10, but this problem was annoying.

[@Haralddv]

@@SteFly Nice! Unfortunately GoPro is known to be a bit buggy at release, but will update soon! I'm waiting to see if they will release a new GoPro Max.. 🤞

[@christoomey9890]

Great video.

[@sreehangrai3608]

Awsome bro what was the cost price of this plane ?

[@adamlhotak8180]

70k? And the asg was 150k

[@janzapletal7217]

@@adamlhotak8180 no way…both were less

[@SteFly]

The LS3 costs about 30k

[@SteFly]

Price in Euros ;)

[@sreehangrai3608]

Can we bye ??

[@capone_rd_809]

sounds like a pacman game lol

[@CalebNorthNorman]

Wow your brother could be your twin! 😆

[@planespeaking]

can't you have a HUD vario?

[@chouk1474]

Already the case, just listen to the vario « music »

[@sandeepkumarsandeepkumar-ve4yu]

You are a rich man!

[@greghart6310]

Gosh Stefan I dont how you make sense of that vario! It sounds like a child learning to play the recorder! Lol!

[@maiksolbrig5756]

Schöne Aufnahmen, vor Allem sieht man die Struktur der Erdoberfläche in Deutschland: zersplitterte Wälder und dazwischen Landwirtschaft und die Ortschaften dazwischen. Da ist einiges schief gelaufen in der Landwirtschaft, auch auf der EU-Ebene: siehe hier unter dem Link (Quelle: www.zeit.de/politik/ausland/2021-01/landwirtschaft-bauernhof-deutschland-strukturwandel-entwicklung#:~:text=Durchschnittlich%20beackert%20ein%20Betrieb%2063,auf%20rund%2038.100%20Betriebe%20an.)

Suggest next time the '29 puts his brakes away.:-)

[@dieterstutzkeitz8364]

Was für ein Spinner, spricht englisch!

[@lukabevk4276]

First😃

[@flying-seagull]

That vario sounds very ugly

[@SteFly]

It's just XCSoar generating the sound at the moment, because the vario is still a prototype ;)

[@flying-seagull]

A ok :-D Still it sounds very strange. I have advanced the development of my computer by the way, will you consider giving it a try someday? :-P

[@fingerhorn4]

The noise that is the most irritating is not the wind noise but that incredibly annoying VSI with its multi toned "tunes" which would be enough for me to punch a hole in the instrument. You have a VISUAL indicator (needle). You don't need this constant "music". Just LOOK at the variometer - you don't need that ugly noise which to my mind utterly ruins the aesthetic pleasure of flying.
