Hey Stefan, ich will mich mal bei dir bedanken, dafür muss ich aber ein bisschen ausholen. Vor gut einem Jahr hab ich überlegt meinen Segelflugschein zu machen. Deine Videos haben meine Entscheidung leichter gemacht. Jetzt sitze ich hier und vor 3 Wochen hatte ich meinen Alleinflug. Das wäre ohne dir vielleicht gar nicht passiert. Danke für alle deine jetzigen und zukünftigen Videos. Sie machen echt Spaß zu kucken und ab und zu bin ich auch ein wenig neidisch, weil ich noch nicht so weit mit meinem Ausbildungsstand bin. Du kannst ja gerne mal mit der AS33 vorbeikommen in Hienheim beim FSV Kelheim!
@SteFly5 ай бұрын
Hey, das freut mich sehr. Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum ersten Alleinflug und dann ist der Schein auch nicht mehr so weit entfernt. Zumindest hilft das für die Motivation sehr. In der Nähe von Hienheim bin ich öfter mit dem Segelflugzeug unterwegs und ich bin vor einigen Jahren mal mit einem Nimbus 4 Förderflugzeug dort gelandet. Vielleicht ergibt sich das mal :)

Those tones are produced by the variometer. The high pitched tones indicate a climb and the low pitch tones are sink. It allows the pilot to know what the air is doing around them without looking at the instrument panel.

At this flight I was towed by a touring motor glider with 140 hp to save some energy. The tow into the Alps was about 2000 m high. With the electric propulsion system in the AS33 Me glider, I can also make a self-launch and climb up to 2500 m. But at this day the weather forecast was not so good in the Alps and I wanted to have enough electric range to fly back home in case of bad weather.

The question is " how do you afford this lifestyle?" To use the title of a long ago book on gliding, you seem to have " no visible means of support" yet this incredible playboy life When glidjng was a poor or at least average working man's sport and we repaired and maintained our own gliders fixed winches and flew less sophisticated aircraft but i think enjoyed it more. Vale' the times when money counted for less but we seemed richer for it.
