WASTING ENERGY with a GLIDER | Flighlvl Challenge #1

[@melcrose]

And he recorded this on the last leg of winning the German championship. What a boss.

[@Daniel-on5jf]

🤣 imagine

[@Leo-nz8vz]

No he recorded this on the Flight one Week later

[@SteFly]

🤣

[@Chundiii]

When flying club aircraft and you are called down for others to fly I love to waste energy by stalling, sidesliping ect

[@tinchote]

The one you didn't mention is putting into a steep bank into descent. On a separate note, many years ago, when I got my 5000 metre altitude gain, I got to the top of the wave right at sunset. So I had to lose 6000 metres in some 20 minutes. Brakes out, and slipping all the way to the pattern.

[@einarengvoll]

Sounds like an excellent time to do some 20 turn spin practice

[@ronaldglider]

I do steep turns with full brakes / flaps in landing position / more than 5m/s down... Ear popping!

[@steveasher9239]

you can add extend landing gear

Hi Stefan, love tips and tricks, would you consider to explore more the tips for newbies? I’m quite sure a lot of people would love to learn tips from a champion

[@pilot_Julius30]

Tips from a champion: How to waste energy... 😅😂

[@aaronpahler5410]

Super cool Video once again, thanks for the tips, always Good to know these things 😉

[@SteFly]

Thank you!!

[@dontknow3886]

that at 3:00 looked so good, like a fighter jet

[@SteFly]

Always fun to do :D

[@gliderpylote6961]

This is why you learn aerobatics

[@SteFly]

Yeah :D

[@MrRuszomir]

Most efficient way and causing less stress to glider is a spin.

[@polisheagle9573]

u made me sign up for a license, thx

[@dietergalle]

Mit einem leichten Grinsen geschaut. Ja, die Physik lässt sich nicht überlisten. Vielen Dank fürs Zeigen!

[@SteFly]

Gerne!

[@cacfuture]

Hi, would like to see you make some aerobatics from time to time (gentle loop etc). Would be nice.

[@fallingwithflair]

I prefer "fly inverted"... But not for the LS!

[@soaruk3697]

Ah, but in a Twin Astir above 80 knots the glide angle is better inverted........ :-)

[@jurepecar9092]

What about lowering your gear? Is that enough drag for when you need it?

[@druffischnuffi6611]

I sometimes fly zero g parabolas in order to waste energy

[@lessainsbury8508]

Zero G parabolas is what I call " The Canadian space program " 😄😄😄

[@gilnemesis3547]

Hi Stefan, why not 360's with a lot of angle, like paragliders ??!!🤭

[@martinposavec5255]

Hi, could you do a video where you go really high with your glider? as high as you can possibly go, i was always wondering how high average glider can fly, plus you would capture amazing scenes from above. Safe flying :)

[@ericcoleson7410]

If altitude is energy, there's hardly a faster way to waste it than a spin.

[@MyChannel-bh6sc]

Not allowed to intentionally spin the LS3 though :D

[@soaruk3697]

Just find the strongest sink - some pilots are better at this than others :-)

[@Sara_PY]

I waste energy just by walking to my glider. ;) Great video, Stefan, thank you!

[@TheSoaringChannel]

I was expecting a spin! 😂

[@anonlf8398]

How can i be a glider pilot?

[@TilmanBaumann]

Side-slipping is the classic one. But really, why would you if Abfeiern is an option. :D Energy is fun.

[@KH-6]

Loopings? ✈️

[@einarengvoll]

Are surprisingly efficient

[@stefanfrohlich4732]

#6 Circling in downwind ;-)

[@SokratisFreeman]

spin, sidesliping and very steep turns, thats the 3 best ways to lose energy

[@juanjuanillo1]

mis sueños, felicidades y gracias

Moin Stefan, brutzeln Dir bei den dunklen Hosen nicht die Oberschenkel weg???? Geiles Spaßvideo - Blödsinn machen macht halt SPAßßß

[@SteFly]

Das geht eigentlich ganz gut. Und damit hat man keine Reflexionen in der Haube ;)

Slippen mit Winglets?

As far as I know it´s not forbidden with the LS3

You can also fly with bugs but thats too easy

[@phan5302]

Stefan, do you do any extra editing to make your thumbnail pop out? It looks good.

[@SteFly]

Yes, quick edit with Lightroom and Photoshop

Spinning? Not the most comfortable way to waist energy though haha

Vielleicht ergibt sich das mal ;)
