Oh, the disappointment when I wake up in the morning, look in the bathroom mirror and realise that I am not Stefan Langer.

At least I am so happy to fly almost the same plane. When my LS3-17 is in 15 meter configuration, winglets attached, it is identical to Stefans LS3 WL. Somehow I don't manage to do that phantastic flights of his.

An easy list of the great ambassadors of soaring: Stefan, Bruno, and Tim. Awesome video Stefan! I’m hoping to travel by glider this fall with the DG505MB. The back seat would make for lots of storage, or perhaps I’ll bring one of my kids for each leg?

For how long can gliders glide?

@oliviab4404 2 ай бұрын

As long as there is wind

@jocave1282 Ай бұрын

Falsch, solange Thermik/ Aufwind oder Wellenbewegungen an Gebirgen funktionieren. Nacbts bläst auch Wind, aber besser ......... nicht!

Is LARUS wind calculation working while towing?

@SteFly 11 ай бұрын

Should work ok, especially with the CG hook. But I was asking myself the same when I first saw my footage 😅 It's called LARUS

@LeonBraun 11 ай бұрын

Right :D Just corrected it. I think it's not as good as in soaring conditions. I'm not fully get through the algorithm but in my understanding it needs some circles in gliding condition to get the exact wind and than calculates via IAS, TAS, heading and bearing the wind changes. But maybe some of the developers can clear this up.

@LeonBraun 11 ай бұрын

In addition, why is it not integrated in the official XCSoar?

@Fukenbumen 11 ай бұрын

I assume you found someone who's on standby in case you land out. Must be someone with lots of time 😀

For unpowered gliders, is there air conditioning or heaters in the cockpit?

@MyChannel-bh6sc 11 ай бұрын

There are cockpit air vents for air conditioning. If it's cold, you better have warm clothing on, especially for the feet.

I´m flying here an old glider from 1977, which costs about 40.000 € for the complete set incl. trailer. A brand new 18 m wingspan glider with self launch propulsion, equipment incl. German VAT costs more than 300.000 €

@@SteFly The Archaeopteryx self propulsion electro glider's price as advertised on their Ruppert Composite website is CHF 108,000. Or about €112,000. Not cheap but certainly better than €300,000!
