I would love a complete prep, walkaround and launch. would be cool to see the whole process.

They give really an amazing feedback of the sky, also because I´m flying without water ballast. But the best is the contrast between two worlds: 18m with 600kg and club class

Congratulations Stefan ! Very nice flight Some nitpicking : technically your turnpoint was not Geneva in Switzerland but in a small municipality called Septmoncel in France (the border is a few km East or South). Incidentally, this is the home town of a very good local blue cheese better known as "bleu de Gex"

Man if only i were able to do that. Its such a nice feeling being able to control a plane. I had my first "own" flight experience last weekend (I dont have a pilot´s license yet but i was flying with an flight instructor that let me control the plane once we reached an average attitude of about 400-500 meters) and it was so damn amazing but also relaxing.

@SteFly Жыл бұрын

Thanks! Yes, bug wipers are really mandatory for the LS3 and for all longer flights. The wing still doesn't look cleaned but the elevated parts of the bugs are wiped, which is most important for the aerodynamics

@TheDivineInferno Жыл бұрын

Outlandings are my biggest concern. I’m pretty new at gliders and have yet to take my first long glide alone. Wish I started earlier but better soon than never :)

@SteFly Жыл бұрын

You will only get less concerns when you made some out landings and understand that it's no big deal. And of course a lot of training helps aswell.

@guilhermeb7615 Жыл бұрын

Hi Stefan! Does paragliding disturb your flight? Or is it possible to thermal along with them? What is the best thing to do if you're a paraglider pilot and see a glider coming your way? We don't have many gliders flying in Brazil along with paragliders, hence why I ask. Thank you

@SteFly Жыл бұрын

I think you as a paraglider can do nothing. We are faster and need to fly around you and usually it works ok to thermal together. There paraglider in the middle and the glider around :D At this flight it was my first time that it was very stressful with a lot of paragliders and even one hang glider in one thermal. Usually I try to avoid it but in this case it was mandatory to gain some meters.

All those bugs on your leading edge and you keep on flying unconcerned . I have bug whipper on my glider , I wonder why you don't use one . I remembere I was in a Libelle at 1,000meters ,30km from the airfield so the flight back home was feasable but as my leading edge was "pelted" with bugs , maybe 1 on each centimeter that a made a forced outlanding halfway (15km) to home .

Stefan, at a 10h flight, with drinking a lot of water to be hydrated, where do you pee it out, or better what device are you using. One way slips for incontinent, or a milk bottle, or special pee bottle, catheter and a plastic bag at the leg, you could do a whole video about this interresting question. 🤔😊👍

Plastic bags or catheter and a plastic bag are the two common methods for male glider pilots
