You’re really living the dream😄

@SteFly Год назад

Really??

@azdrippin5432 Год назад

First time ever finding out that gliders literally fly using ONLY thermals, absolutely mind boggling that such a plane can go so great of a distance using an initial jump in the beginning. Just amazes me that your constantly scanning your area and readings for thermal drafts don't know how you maintain such a easy head. Phenomenal work Lad.

@chrsfincher Год назад

RU-vid suggested your channel because I've been looking up vr msfs gliding videos and let me just say that looks like an absolute blast.

@SteFly Год назад

Thank you. Much better than MSFS videos, isn't it?

Hi Stefan, what a journey! Really looking forward to the next episodes, that seems to become a very challenging and yet very rewarding trip! Thank you for taking us along for the ride and especially for detailing your strategic thoughts - it's super interesting to gain a look "behind the scenes" of your trip and how you deal with the challences you've been facing. Lovely to see the great hospitality in Marpingen as well! :)

This makes it a proper challenge but I can also imagine to use an electric self-launch glider some day :D Thank you!!

@ChessInTheAir Год назад

Awesome - very cool to be able to stuff everything you need into the tiny space behind your seat. To pull this off in the US you'd have to bring your own tow plane or - in Bruno's case - your own winch. There just aren't enough glider operations that you would be able to get off the ground the next day without that. Look forward to the next episode!

Hi Stefan Great to see the European Gliding Scene is still as friendly as ever I flew in the then West Germany while serving in the RAF in the 1980's from a number of clubs We had 3 Military clubs then and we flew from Venlo in Holland, Kamp Limpfort, Borken Hoxfeld, Emmerich, while flying from our 2 clubs on the German Holland boarder. Then while at Gutersloh we flew from Orlinghausen, Vennebeck, Buckieburg, Achmer and a few others I can't remember fun fun days loved my Gliding there and Love your VLOG's

Thanks a lot for the vids... we've realized such trips in the 80th - called it "Eurocup - initialized from Aachen flight buddies. But in the last years, we make nothing... really nothing. Thank you Steve for the inspiration. Perhaps I can talk about it with my buddies and we make similar flights... Thank you, Roger.

Good job, efficiency

Who needs to buy a regular type plane. You can just glide for nearly any expense. That's just awesome. Watching this channel is making me want to get into gliders now.

Great flying. Get a metal bottle instead of the plastic one. Then you can have nice cool, non plasticised water. As always, inspirational flying Stefan. Did you have to radio your intention’s over the military airfield at all? They had a lot of Boeing C-17 globe masters down there. We have those locally out of Fairford in the UK. Really big planes! I used to fly locally and occasionally I would spot Hercules 130 down below at circa 500’ AGL doing low level exercises. Moons ago I used to service them.

@justme.9711 Год назад

I see your glider is a LS3. I just starting to learn about gliders, but you seem to have a good financial backing and that bird is quite old now and a relatively lower glide ratio 40:1 [ wikipedia, lol ] I thought closer to 50:1 would be needed to win a contest [ I'm very wrong ]. So could you do a vid on the reality of what is important in a glider, because I and many others really don't know what you and the other guys who have been living the dream know. This could save wasting what is to me and many others a LOT of money on what is not really needed/desired. Thank you for your time Stefan.

@arthurrobey7177 Год назад

A Saxon at play. If you wish to remain true Freyans then the great voyages of your men must flow from the lips of of your wives and daughters. The Oera Linda. You must tell them of the sea-heroes, of their mighty deeds and distant voyages. All these stories must be told by the fireside and in the field, wherever it may be, in times of joy or sorrow; and if you wish to impress it on the brains and the hearts of your sons, you must let it flow through the lips of your wives and your daughters.

Amazing! Gliders can get kinetic power from the airflow if they are manipulated properly, right? I think this will make aircraft cleanest transportation facility in future.

@fernmoss3539 Год назад

In the book "Seven Eves" there is a craft which IIRC, reaches high altitudes unpowered. Is the lack of pressurization the only thing keeping sailplanes out of the stratosphere?

Fortunately I´m at the lower limit with myself and the parachute (about 80 kg) and I have 25-30 kg left. But I was able to feel the difference between this setup and the setup when I flew the nationals.
