Even these short flights in marginal conditions are fun. Better than not flying and always exploring something new.

Also der Motor schiebt ja schon gewaltig. Danke für die Onboard-Eindrücke. Rappelt wohl doch mehr als ich dachte. Egal, selbermachen mitohne Hilfe ist halt schon ganzschön geil. Danke für´s Video - Krasse Kampflinie beim Landeanflug🤣🤣

Well done Stefan. 👍 You are learning fast, how to explore the new possibilities you now have with an engine on board.

@ls3laminarflow Ай бұрын

Always fascinating, the new things you can learn by exploring unconventional conditions! Thanks for a fun video!

Awesome looking panel you have there Stefan!. A bit more room for activities than the LS3 panel

not a fan of everything being a screen, esp the vario needle. that radio-transponder from air avionics looks amazing tho.

Seeing these clouds, i thought better stay at home before we are getting wet. You did find the one only rotor wind for 50km around.👍🏻😊🇫🇷

Why did you make the super fast approach? Was it to get the rain off the wings?

Stefan, ich danke dir für die Veröffentlichung von Meisterkursen über das Pilotenleben bei schlechtem Wetter. Diesmal gibt es keine einzige bewölkte Straße.

Would like to have two hepatic transducers on each arm connected to sensors on each wing. It would be like gaining another sense.

@cristobalv Ай бұрын

Wow, does the propeller make it less aerodynamic in flight? If so, how much?

@xeels2708 Ай бұрын

The prop and motor retracts into the fuselage after shutdown ;)

Big fan from Worcester CGC, but I have to tell you that your Audio Vario is the most irritating set of tones I have ever heard. Maybe climbing in the rotor made an odd tune but I think it might sound better if it was tuned to a major pentatonic scale 😀sounds like it was tuned by an android🙄

What is range of this glider 😢

@victorbreak Ай бұрын

Dude, I never seen a creator in more need of a 360°camera. I know it would be tricky to use, especially it's placement (since it would inevitably affect your's plane aerodynamical performance). But flying is an experience that needs to be shown in that way

@jacekpiterow900 Ай бұрын

Stefan, why you did not pick fes? I am trying to figure out which will be better. Had to be some reasoning behind your decision.

@gliderpilot67 Ай бұрын

To my knowledge you cannot take off with FES (except with the miniLAK).

@jacekpiterow900 Ай бұрын

@@gliderpilot67 good point

@ronaldgadget Ай бұрын

Typical FES gliders, given the low nose position, have small propellers and hence are not as efficient and powerful as retractable ones behind the cockpit. There are some exceptions: Elfin by RX Aero (if it ever sees the light of day) and a small company is retrofitting FES to older Antares gliders, as its nose if higher from ground as typical gliders.

@AndrewBashtovoy Ай бұрын

@@gliderpilot67 "Silent 2" also, because it was certified under a different set of regulations, to my knowledge. FES gliders uses a relatively safe voltage of 110 volts as opposed to RES dangerous 300-400 volts, especially if you need to use the motor in the rain.

Okay... is the continuous audio indicator necessary? You are up really high, you aren't going to hit the ground if you drop a few accidental meters. I would have to mute that noise and just listen to the wind. You already got rid of the worst noise; the engine and propeller, but you replaced it with an incessant "boodoodoodooodooooooooodooooooooooodbooboobooboobooboodoooooooodoooooooooooooooooo" can you not have a VSI (vertical speed indicator) like many fixed wing aircraft have? I'd rather glance at that than hear boodoopboodoopbodoooooooooo all day :) Just teasing mostly though omg it would get on my nerves eventually. Great flying and thank you for the video! EDIT: You have an altimeter right there, literally right there. It tells you all you need without that machine singing. :)

@ronaldgadget Ай бұрын

OK, to us glider pilots, the _boodoo boodoo_ is music. I set the volume to be so low that I can just hear it above the airstream noise.

@glidingadventures Ай бұрын

The altimeter does not tell you the verticle movement of the air around you

@thenickdude Ай бұрын

You're not looking for trends sustained over 30 seconds or so that could be monitored by glancing at a VSI, you need to listen for second to second measurements in order to stay properly centred in thermals.
