Welcome to my channel. My name is Martin and I'm from Croatia. I'm a glider pilot and rc pilot. Most of the content on this channel are videos about aviation - gliders and rc planes. A small part of the content is occupied by agricultural videos recorded on the family farm.
I am happy to share this content with you. If you like the content please click subscribe I will appreciate it.
More air rake on final approach, you were creeping along the field. I’d have been on pretty much full there. And too much rudder, you needed to approach with more angle to the runway and less slipping. A good kick of the rudder on rounding out will straighten it up.
Unfortunately the camera does not do you justice. You have very good airmanship skills and made it look easy. . At min 1:37 you can look over to the right and see the wind sock. Fully inflted and and showing a significant cross wind from the right. . At min 7:38 you can see the windsock again... this time over inflated, fully 90 degrees and flapping. You have a cross winf gust. . Well done sir. Very good take off and very good landing.
Good video. Next time no music please. You mostly use a way too much rudder in your curves. The string is not centered, it shows into the curve. Please keep it centered for safety reasons. This is especially important in difficult conditions.
Excellent flying! The last time I flew a glider I had a Motorola pager. If paged I had to land then drive to the nearest un-vandalised phone box to find it if was urgent.
Thats actually landing out 😂 I mean... there is a threshold. So you are right that VFR must noch have 50ft above threshold- But no landing on overrun. Can cost you something on bigger fields. Just a reminder 😉
Good flight and excellent landing. Was there an opportunity to chose a landing run at an angle to the runway. You tracked to your left after touchdown. Was there a more into wind run you could have used. Don’t be drawn always to land on a runway. If there’s a line that is more into wind that can be used to land, use it.
Das sind niemals 200km/h.Nicht mit diesem Motor!Fliege selber eine Race Rat.Allerdings mit Brushlessmotor. Die ist deutlich schneller,aber um auf 160km/h zu kommen muss ich mich trotzdem anstrengen...😁
How much do you find it costs per hour of flying for a falke, excluding the cost of the airplane itself? Even though there are so many it is hard to find any info online
I am following you and building this Sbach with the same ELECTRIC components. Could you please tell me what size prop you used and possible what brand? Thank you
Man, you touched down on the last quarter of your available runway. I know you don't have the option to go around, but be mindful of the runway that's behind you that is lost forever, and that if you do a runway overrun, it's a big deal. Get more "track miles", prolong the base leg (or similar), and get maximum drag to lose altitude. Always aim to touch down as close to the landing threshold as possible.
I'm waiting patiently for this bird to come off backorder. I plan on powering this bird with a 5055 500kv. Can you tell me what prop you are spinning with your setup please?
It feels like you're using too much rudder just about everywhere. When thermalling the string should be straight, or even better a bit to the outside of the turn. The highest danger is in the circuit area, where an over-ruddered turn could lead you into an unrecoverable spin (due to lack of height). It's something we all have to learn.
His turns are just fine, look at the other instruments. He is nowhere near a problem. The flopping yaw string is typical for gliders with a "knick" between canopy and fuselage. It will flipflop badly especially in some turbulence. Our Ka6 has the same problem. Moving the yaw string up higher on the canopy helps. To prevent stall-spin in accidents, practice to do this intentionally at good altitude. You will find that You will have to mishandle the glider quite badly for it to happen. Familiarity with incipient spin entry/recovery from a turn will lead to less chance of panicking close to the ground causing spin in.
Yaw string is a more precise instrument compared to the ball. The ball might be good for a powered airplane due to the fewer turns needed. The altitude and speed of a glider are its fuel. The more coordinated you are the more efficient your flight is. It might vear in some situations for a moment but not as badly as in this video. Never had a chance to fly one of Ka6. We have one of these in our club. As long as I know it is an extremely lightweight glider, what makes me think it's hard to keep it coordinated, but definitely not impossible.
@@alangilels6311 Tape a second yaw string higher up on the canopy on Your Ka6 and You will see the usual flipflopping go away, similar for the PilatusB4. I can se no bad flying in this video, he does a good job. I see exactly the same string behavior on our gliders, somewhat worse in turbulence.. I agree that the string is a bit more sensitive than the ball, but the string is not that different, just goes the other way.... But there is an obvious error when the string and the ball do not agree. The ball and spade are however sensitive enough for cloud flying. The string is easier to watch when thermaling with audiovario. I do not look very often at my instruments in circling mode... The Ka6cr is not difficult, just very different, lots of fun in weak thermals when all the composite drops out of the sky.
