It is a big dream and a huge challenge to fly a declared 1000 km FAI triangle with a 18 m sailplane in Germany. The weather forecast and the weather conditions must be perfect and you are not allowed to make any bigger mistakes during 10+ hours. I nearly made an outlanding after 800 km...
A huge THANKS to my father for the aero tow and my brother for the ground support!

@davidalhoff7190 3 года назад

Thanks Stefan for sharing these big imperssions with us! Nice flight, nice edit, cool music and helpful comments to also take the paragliding pilots for a ride. Great job. In case your vario missed logging the flight don't worry you fly for the impressions, the scenery, the highs, the lows, discovering and understanding the nature and so much more than OLC points. Took me a while understand that but now even a glide down is cool again:)

@SteFly 3 года назад

Hi David, thank you very much! Yes, you are right. The impressions and experience are the most important aspect of a glider flight. The category of the PowerFlarm was not high enough for record flights and I also made a mistake with the finish line.

@davidalhoff7190 3 года назад

@@SteFly Anyway you cleared 3TP, had had quite a low save in the blue, amazing views high under the clouds. Nice flight. For the olc how about a backup like an xc-track on the phone would that be valid for sailpanes? Alternative a small solar powered xc-tracer. Or does it need to be connected to the planes instuments to read if possible engines are switched on?

Such a great video. Learnt to glide on Grob 103s as an air cadet out of Swansea Airport in South Wales and spent every weekend on cable tows to 1000 ft and flying circuits. Managed some longer flights and thermaling and managed a 45min flight at one point. Can only dream of what a 10 hr flight must be like! Nerves of steel there and exceptional skill.

excelent video. I am just getting my glider licence. Did my 11th flight this saturday, and it´s amazing. I got from Private to Multi/IFr/Comercial. Got to be a B-727 F.O., had an LSA for three years and I can say that gliding is the most amazing type of flight i´ve experienced. Towed take off is amazing, towed flight is amazing, gliding is amazing and landing is amazing...

@nocare 3 года назад

@@Aaron-zn8mg The energy used for flight is directly from the sun. It's not converted to chemical, potential or electrical storage to be used to power flight at a displaced location and time. The energy is directly captured at the time of flight. To specify an energy source conveys information. That's the only purpose of communication after all. Gliders are directly powered by the sun. As opposed to indirectly powered by the sun (fossil fuels).

@tinchote 3 года назад

Congrats! A FAI 1000k on pure thermals is a great accomplishment. I would like to suggest that you wait a bit to retract the gear; when you do it so low, you increase your possible workload if the rope breaks or the engine coughs. My approach was to wait until pattern altitude to retract, still early in the tow but with plenty of time to deal with an emergency. Unless it was the Open Cirrus with the hitch inside the landing gear :D
