Epic second day over Rügen and more epic low save at 11:38. You're on the edge of your seat and then have to grin when the thermal comes up. I celebrate your trip so much!

Do you need to / can you contact the local/regional air traffic control tower when you enter their airspace? Do you have to let them know about your presence (can they see you on radar?), route etc.? Or is your flight pretty much free to do whatever you want?

@berndkorthaus5082 9 ай бұрын

In Germany you can fly without contacting ATC, with the exception of some special zones. They can see you when you have a transponder, and sometimes also on radar, but that is not for sure. So flight is pretty much free to do what you want, with the main exceptions of zones near the main airports.

@Dee-im7ug Жыл бұрын

Stefan- Can you describe what kind of Lyft are you experienced when flying over the Baltic Sea? You address it a little bit in your narrative. Who are the thermals under the clouds strong or weak compared to that over the land masses? Are these thermal generated Cumulus or some type of Convergence involving cold and warm fronts? I would think that oceans that are relatively warm like the Gulf of Mexico would produce stronger thermals compared to that over the relatively cold Baltic Sea.

Please keep your hand on the release during the ground run on a winch launch. You need to react quickly if you get a wing drop.

@felixwitzenbichler2407 Жыл бұрын

I have learned to not do that because of the acceleration, so you could release by mistake. When you have your hand on your leg you are still fast enough and you don't have the risk to release by mistake...

@davidallan9624 Жыл бұрын

@@felixwitzenbichler2407 That is true but I'd prefer that to happen (on the ground) than fumble for the release while the glider departs into a potential cart-wheel. There was a really bad couple of accidents at my old club and at my new one when in both instances the gliders flipped over on their backs with rather obvious consequences.

@@aeromael4707 My glider has flaps too. You have them set for the ground run and the initial part of the launch. Once in the full climb then you can take your hand off the release. For an aerotow the ground run is longer and there is time to set the flaps from negative to positive once you have aileron authority on the ground - hand on release otherwise.

Hi Stefan! Kann sein, dass diese Information vollkommen überflüssig für dich ist, weil du das schon weißt, aber ich sags trotzdem. Bei 13:01 holst du deine DSLR raus für ein paar coole Shots. In den darauffolgenden Clips sieht man aber leider die Spiegelung von deiner Scheibe. Mag jetzt den einen oder anderen weniger stören, aber man kann die Spiegelung tatsächlich schon beim Filmen "entfernen". Du brauchst nur ein Polarisationsfilter für dein Objektiv. Die sind super günstig und es gibt für jedes Gewinde und jeden Durchmesser eins. So sehen die Videos und Bilder noch besser aus!

I'm very interested in gliding, but can you give me any insight you have into this aspect. Repair and maintenance costs. In the past 3 to 5 years how much have you or people you know, had to spend on repairs and maintenance etc to stay airworthy. I ask because a woman said she had to spend $8k to have cracks around her airbrake boxes repaired and that's a lot to me.

@SteFly Жыл бұрын

This heavily depends on the condition of the glider. Big checks e.g. at 3000h can cost from 3000 - 10000€ if you don't do it on your own and if they find a lot to repair. Other than this is ok from the price. At the LS3 I only made enhancements up to now, no big repair or so...

@@SteFly Yea' I wasn't sure if I would be able to do my own repairs. If they are only minor, it only fiberglass etc, it's got to be done right and professional, but it's not welding titanium... I'm in Australia and it might be different. Thanks for the reply.
