Well.. I need one of these now.

[@ModellpilotEU]

Das Cockpit ist sehr schön geworden, lieber Ralf.

[@Haralddv]

new defenition of epic! I'm in love...

[@lorenzofornari]

they seem to be little mods, but they are great! and well engineered. The best one is a bag for storing things in forward place. Need one on the duodiscus too!!

[@SteFly]

Yes, it is definately not a new generation of glider, but I really like the details.

Cant wait to take a ride in that beauty

@Ronnie Jabari You’re absolutely right. We don’t care at all.

[@SeanFChannel]

Slick!!!

[@FlyingSimon]

Awesome content Stefan!

[@SteFly]

Thank you Simon!

[@LSVFlachkurbler]

they made the best double seater in the world even better. Only concern I have is the electric gear - backup is just another battery and no simple mechanical system ?

[@SteFly]

Yes, there is no simple mechanical system as backup.

[@Flugfritze96]

i think redundancy is taken care of. Nothing is certified in aviation with safety concerns (ehm 737 max excluded)

Interesting! Thanks a lot for sharing this! what is the real advantage of the electric landing gear? is it lighter? probably cost more now :p

[@SteFly]

It´s a little bit lighter and easier to operate.

Hey Stefan bist du auch noch am Samstag da ?

[@jorissaint-genes8472]

Where was this meeting ? I'm very interesting to go

[@flofliegt]

Schön Allerdings habe ich als Design Student und Typografie-Begeisterter einen großen Kritikpunkt: die Checkliste. Schrift, gesetzt weiß auf schwarz, ist immer schwer zu lesen, besonders wenn es hell ist. Und vor allem, wenn es schnell gehen muss und hektisch wird ... Das sollte man überarbeiten!

[@fritz4345]

Yep. At least they used a Product Design company. I can't believe that this is not standard already. There was a cool cockpit design from Kirchner in the 80ies and Dietmar Finger did his Diploma project for Industrial Design at the FH Darmstadt for Rolladen Schneider (1989).

[@flofliegt]

@@fritz4345 Yes, this should be standard procedure for a 250k € glider. But it would have been better they had used a typograph or a graphic/interaction designer...

[@fritz4345]

@@flofliegt I know, Designers of all sorts are underused and underpayed.

[@hochto]

Naja, es hat wohl schon seinen Grund warum alle Insturmente weiße Schrift auf schwarzen Grund haben. Dabei gibts auch keine Ableseschwierigkeiten.

[@flofliegt]

@@hochto naja, zum einen sind Instrumente in aller Regel Recht groß beschriftet und im Gylphenumfang recht überschaubar. Was steht denn auf einem Höhenmesser? Die Zahlen von 1-10. Auf den Checklisten stehen aber ganze Sätze, die im Notfall die Procedures beinhalten und die sollten so einfach wie möglich zu lesen sein.

[@SAGHAJAR]

Having flying with Gliders whole my life I gather the under carriage compartment’s doors can easily be damaged once you land in grassy or rough terrains, this glider is fabulous but it should have been built with a retractable tri-cycle since it has an engine in this way you could take off single handedly without needing ground crew to keep it level to sum up this is a mono engine plane with only one wheel.

[@Superphilipp]

What? No!

[@anibaldamiao]

that makes no sense

[@arminmoller9927]

Habe für die Checkliste ne Idee . Kann man die in das Multifunktionsdisplay integrieren ? Oder ist das zu klein dafür ?

[@SteFly]

Das kann man im LX9000 schon längst machen ;)

[@69michas]

Irgendwo laß ich, das es auch eine Änderung an der Haube gab. Stimmt das? Und wenn ja was?

[@SteFly]

Ja, die Haube ist flacher ;)

[@involutionnostrum6636]

How much does this plane cost?

[@szymonbartus]

When you are at the Schleicher stand, can you interview them about the AS 34 Me?

[@henrikgormsen1020]

Who, or what is Schleicher ?? ;-)

[@jannes7292]

I had a quick talk with them. The As 34 Me will basically be an ASW28 with an extractable, electric self-launch engine. There will only be improvements inside the cockpit, but the outside structure will remain the same :) So I guess the "new" name is only for marketing reasons. They could name it ASW28 Me as well.

[@advandervelden1588]

@@henrikgormsen1020 Schleicher is a fellow glider builder from Sheis Hirt.

[@soaruk3697]

Is Schleicher is losing the plot -what demand is there for a self launch uncompetitive standard class glider? - they better hope the AS-33 is a real success.

Doch, Turbolator Zackenband wird schon auf der Tragflächenunterseite eingesetzt. Der Unterschied zur Ausblasung wie es z.B. Schleicher macht, ist wohl minimal.

No electric launching dates the design. Look around at the trend on show.

[@SteFly]

At least two Arcus E are already manufactured some years ago. They have an electric motor installed for selflaunching. But I guess the customers still want the combustion engine...

[@chrishamilton4999]

@@SteFly just like customers still want combustion engines in their cars.

[@MyChannel-bh6sc]

@@chrishamilton4999 Well the Arcus E is too heavy to compete in 20m class which is a big dealbraker for competition pilots.

[@dmkellett]

no mention of price... come on !! what do you think the majority of the viewers are thinking when we watch this video ???? how much !?

[@steekle7]

So what's the point of having an electrical operated gear? It adds extra weight from the motor and back up battery and you add stuff that can break. Seems like a gimmick to me.

[@robinj.9329]

I can barely understand this guys speech. What language is that?

[@stanislouse4168]

Pretty sloppy looking seat. WAY overpriced. When are they going electric?

[@chrishamilton4999]

electric will require whopping big, heavy batteries etc. to get an aircraft like that off the ground. plus extra cost. I think they are still a potential fire hazard too.

[@280zjammer]

You got a thumbs down from me due to the music alone. I can't watch a video with that disgusting sound. Loose that tape. That sound is unbearable. I realize I can turn the volume off but I shouldn't have to do that. I want to hear information about the plane or the plane it's self. I heard about a full second of it and that was enough to piss me off. Don't do that. It's a disservice to yourself.

[@Dalboe]

280zjammer does your parents also serve your pudding on a silver platter? Fast forward 20 seconds and you’ll find what you’re looking for. This is how you’ll typically find Stefans videos to be, like it or not. But it’s not really that dominant for the video in its entirity.

[@michalmilko8347]

@@Dalboe yes but that particular genre of music is kinda annoying if you watch more videos in row. He used much better music in video where he flies in Alps and it worked much better for me.

[@SteFly]

@@Dalboe Thank you Dalboe!

[@SteFly]

@@michalmilko8347 Personally I like this genre of music for those b-rolls. At the "Soaring to Mont Blanc" video I used licensed music and that´s why I don´t get money from Google Adsens. That´s only a small amount of money like 5 - 10€ per video, but I have monthly software costs, equipment costs and I spend a huge amount of time filming and editing these videos. It is absolutely a non profitable thing up to now… And when reading comments like this, it does not encourage me to continue producing videos in the future.

[@SteFly]

@280zjammer I would highly appreciate it, if you can send me good music for future videos. But please take care, that the music should be without copyright or from Epidemic Sounds. ;)
