Thank you Stefan, for your amazing words of wisdom on this channel, you have inspired me to take up gliding early in my youth, and I enjoy it more than anything else. Thank you so much my dear friend, it would be an honor to fly the majestic skies with you one day!

@dr.wilfriedhitzler1885 2 месяца назад

Hallo Stefan, find ich gut, daß Du Schleicher unterstützt und nicht nach Südafrika ausweichst. Man merkt noch gut, daß früher hier in Positiv-Bauweise Flugzeuge hergestellt wurden und mit viel Liebe geschliffen und lackiert wurden. Schleicher hat sich's verdient.

Nice sailplanes, I have a lot of hours in the ASK21 at California City, flying with the Golden Eagles and Turkey Vultures, always my fav glider, lots in the Grob, but the ASK always felt like it could read my mind, much more coordinated.

Thanks for sharing Stefan. It will be interesting to see how their manufacturing processes improve over the years and how new design techniques and technologies like 3D printing play their part.

I know that there are some parts 3D printed in the cockpit area. But I agree, this would be an interesting topic for a video aswell.

Looks pretty much the like I'm building my RC models, just at bigger scale. Btw, are motors still provided by Roman Sušnik (ermax)?

@SteFly 2 месяца назад

A bigger scale and more inspections ;) It should be an EMRAX motor

@AndrewBashtovoy Месяц назад

Da sich die Batterie in den Kotflügeln befindet, ist es besser, während der Überwinterung eine konstante Plus-Temperatur aufrechtzuerhalten, um die Lebensdauer zu verlängern. Ein auf dem Anhänger installiertes Inverter-Split-System kann dabei helfen. Einige Hersteller von Split-Systemen verfügen über eine Funktion zur Aufrechterhaltung einer konstanten Temperatur von plus sieben Grad Celsius und eine Fernsteuerung über WIFI.

@davidbowes5915 2 месяца назад

Hi Stefan Thanks for the video. I know you flew the factory AS33Me and liked it. How many other 33Me are now flying and what number is yours? When will the glider be finished do you think?

@SteFly 2 месяца назад

Hi David, I don´t know the exact numbers. We will display my AS33 Me at the AERO exhibition in Friedrichshafen, which is in one month. AS offered me their reserved slot for a factory glider, so that I can participate at WGC in the USA. The AS33 Me which I tested in one of my videos, is also a privately owned glider.

@davidbowes5915 2 месяца назад

Unfortunately I can’t get to AERO. Good luck at the WGC, I guess you’ll need to ship the glider in June. I’ll watch with interest how you get on as I too have a 33Me on order. Be good to know how many other 33Me are flying. Cheers @@SteFly

@Wings_of_foam 2 месяца назад

I don't know much about helicopters, but wouldn't it be best to build everything as light as possible, since the fuel is pretty expensive and you can fly for longer distances? Or would the heli be too unstable due to the low weight, especially in windy conditions?

@DanFrederiksen 2 месяца назад

Interesting. It's thought provoking what can be done with composites but I'm concerned by the 2000 man-hours. I think it has to be possible to manufacture it in a way much less labor intensive. For instance the typical 2 sided approach where you glue two parts together, why not lay up the complete form on the inside of a closed mold? It might require a specialized motorized rig with a camera on but it must be worth it for the strength and skipped steps. Both for fuselage and wings. Fiberglass hot tubs are complex composite shapes sold for 3000$ retail. I know this is more ambitious but still. When something could possibly be put together with ease then a 2000 man-hour process should be questioned. The cloth and resin can be quite inexpensive so it would be a major revolution to build it faster. Is it a fiberglass plane or carbon? why not carbon. Carbon is more expensive but insignificant to the advantages that pay for themselves.

@SteFly 2 месяца назад

You need all the mechanics for the controls inside the wing and fuselage. Everything needs to be aligned perfectly and inspected, so that it´s safe to fly with this glider. I´m sure Alexander-Schleicher put a lot of thoughts into the manufacturing process and they know what they are doing. Most of the parts are made of carbon fiber and some crash resistant parts of the fuselage in Aramid. And also the raw materials must be certified for use in aviation.

@DanFrederiksen 2 месяца назад

@@SteFly the wing looked quite translucent and many of the insides looked like fiberglass, not carbon. It looks like quality work but I don't think you can assume the process is optimal. Elixir makes their planes as single piece wings and fuselage. Car manufacture seems to be below 100 man-hours including all parts suppliers. I wonder if for instance it could be made with big steel molds that are polished so it has optical finish when it comes out of the mold. They would be difficult to make but it would be a one time thing. 2500 hours is an enormous amount of labor.

@flugzeug8143 2 месяца назад

Sehr interessant und wirklich tolle und qualitativ hochwertige Flugzeuge. Leider machen die Preise unseren "Sport" immer elitärer, was sehr schade ist. Das ist aber bei allen Herstellern das gleiche Problem. Nicht zuletzt als Folge einer desaströsen Politik in unserem Land und der EU... Einziger Trost - die Gebrauchtflugzeuge bleiben schön preisstabil oder gewinnen sogar an Wert ;-)

@StudentGoose Месяц назад

I don't know if it making the sport really more expensive. Compared to the last 30 years, yes. But before that there were much less private owned gliders, and most pilots only flew the club gliders. These days it seems like 75% of the glider pilots with a license have their own private glider

Yes I did want to "sit and watch" which is the reason I clicked to watch the video, stupid🙄 I just don't want to sit and watch a 20 minute video in German that is titled in ENGLISH. I either have the option to watch the video and not understand anything as it's in German, or I can sit and read but miss the video, which is a waste of time. I don't understand how "sitting and watching" brings something new. You make no sense at all. .@@oshadilakshini2878
