You wouldn't expect to do THIS with an electric powered Glider!

[@ChiChi-dy9qi]

That was amazing! I have worked at airports for a long time, marshalling all manner of aircraft but never marshalled a sail plane. Brilliant, well done.

[@RudisGlidingAdventures]

Haha, yes that was very special for sure for this marshaller :-)! Thank you for leaving a comment!

[@markplain2555]

I'm a glider pilot and I have passed through this airport. Man if I had seen this - it would have been quite the treat. Well done. Now I can pass this video around and talk about the guy who actually landed a glider at a commercial airport.

[@RudisGlidingAdventures]

Thank you very much for your comment :-) - i really appreciate it :-)! Yes it was a dream to do that and finally i was able to realize it. I still think about that adventure many times when i am departing out or landing in my commercial job at this airport :-)!

[@vanderheijden1]

Landing with a glider at an international airport. Awesome. Possible thanks to a very nice electric power system. This video shows what a fantastic and safe glider this is (with a good glide ratio) when you get permission to make such a flight and landing. A fantastically beautiful video, great images and well edited. Compliments.

I am speechless. You make dreams come true Rudi. Keep it up 👏👏👏

Thank you Bartosz, I feel honored by your words 😍! I will do my best, also in the future 😀👍

What fun! Love to see your joy when you got permission.

[@RudisGlidingAdventures]

Thank you, i was really happy in that moment :-)!

[@davesgliding]

Pretty amazing. Our club in Ottawa, Ontario once got a bill from Nav Canada for landing fees at Calgary international airport ... for our Grob 103. Had it been real, that would have been quite the cross-country flight. They finally accepted that it wasn't our aircraft, but they didn't give up easily.

[@RudisGlidingAdventures]

Haha Dave, that's a nice story! Would habe been great I think, if it had been real 😅😅👍! Thank you for your comment 😃!

Rudi, Ja, Sie haben einen Motor, Sie haben ULM. Das ist eine einmalige Erfahrung, ich stelle mir die überraschten Gesichter des internationalen Flughafenpersonals vor. Wie viel waren Start, Landung und Parken für das Segelflugzeug Silent 2 billiger als für den daneben geparkten Airbus A320?

I've been a retired B767 captain since 2004 but have no desire to fly my Silent2 Electro, GO, into my old base airport CYYZ. I don't believe it would be allowed as a glider or an ultralight especially now that airlines are resuming more normal operations.

[@RudisGlidingAdventures]

Hi Jim, yes for sure such adventures are now getting more and more difficult now. Since some years i was always dreaming of flying a 360 around the Tower here in LOWW. Actually i thought it would never be possible due to the heavy traffic. But at the end Corona made it possible and i am happy, that i realized this dream and that i have such a nice video to remember :-)

[@captboul9018]

How do you like your Silent 2 ??

[@jimpike7445]

@@captboul9018 Love it! Had a G109b for 20 years which I flew to Florida and the E and W coast of Canada but most of my flying was solo. I had to fold the wings to hangar it but the Silent fits my hangar and can be flying in minutes. Almost zero maintenance on the Silent and I can be sure it starts in the cold of early Spring and November. Some of my best flights have been in Spring with snow still on the ground. Here the Silent is registered as a "Basic Ultralight" which eliminates most of the paperwork and allows owner maintenance. Mine is 7 years old and fully equipped. I got it in 2017 from Alisport as a demo. It actually held some records in Namibia. So far I've put 409hr airtime on it and only replaced the main tire and tailwheel due to taxiing and flying off asphalt. Batteries seem to be maintaining their capacity but I would love to have more when available. Best flights here in Ontario have been 5.5 hr and 315km. No mountains here for slope or wave soaring :>(

hast du mal durchgerechnet, ob sich Solarzellen auf den Flügeln Lohnen würden? Sprich aus wieviel Zeit Sonneneinstrahlung wieviel Motorlaufzeit zu holen ist. Könnte helfen, mit der gleichen Akku Kapazität mehr anstellen zu können. Oder gar Kapazität und damit Gewicht einzusparen.

I got an electric really cheap with a bad battery..... Took off the propeller taped up the airflow.... Added ballast.. this thing as fast as heck..... Real men don't need motors

[@michaelderflinger5002]

Congrat. Did you also launch from LOWW again?

[@RudisGlidingAdventures]

Hi Michael, yes exactly! With the tow to the field I landed with 90% capacity, way enough to depart and fly back under own power:-)

[@jacksontenhave7959]

@@RudisGlidingAdventures That would be so epic! I'm starting my controlled airspace training at an international airport (previously only glider and ultralight flying) on my way to a commercial licence. It's so cool talking to the big guys! Even if you didn't have enough capacity for departure, would you be able to bring a charger with you and top the batteries up? Subscribed.

Immer schön ohne Fallschirm...jedes Gramm zählt bei dem Nämaschinenantrieb...

[@RudisGlidingAdventures]

Das Flugzeug ist mit einem Gesamtrettungssystem ausgestattet. Ist aus meiner Sicht praktischer und sicherer als mit einem persönlichen Fallschirm, da man es nur aktivieren muss. Mit einem persönlichen Fallschirm muss man die Cockpithaube öffnen, schauen dass man rauskommt und dann noch genug Höhe haben, damit er aufgeht. All das entfällt bei einem Gesamtrettungssystem wie diesem. Aber ja, es ist nicht so offensichtlich dass es jeder auf den ersten Blick sieht.
