A spontaneous testflight turned into a 800 km cross country flight. Can´t wait to fly a LS3 with winglets at the Pre-WGC in France!
A huge THANKS to Uwe for the glider and to Segelfluggruppe Bensheim for the aerotow!

Casually flies 800km the first flight, reviews the whole glider on the way, sets flaps into landing position and retracts landing gear before a „tight final glide“ just to show them, still is calm as hell and gets some epic cinematic sunset air to air shots - badass Stefan!🔥

@malibu188 4 года назад

Great flying. 800 kilometers and 10 plus hours with that vario tone - heroic

LS3 was my Gold and Diamond machine. Beautiful to fly, very comfortable and great performance. That creaking noise as you fly is so LS!

@larssorenson9916 4 года назад

I love your videos. It’s good that you explain and talk and not just boring footage with nothing happening. I didn’t know LS-3 is such good performer. 800 km, it’s the pilot too of course - maybe not so much the glider 😂. I don’t know much, but I thought ASW-29 would be first choice, but maybe your ASW cannot be reduced to 15m? For the competition?

@jjiacobucci 4 года назад

I had the LS3 with full length flaperons. Loved it ! There is a simple mod which is large Mylar farings at the trailing wing root greatly decreasing drag at wing/fuselage junction. Most comfortable glider I’ve flown

And beware the seat. If you move the bottom forward be sure to move the seat support on a back forward also.. Otherwise the seat can slip all the way to back mid flight. Done that on a long tow from Hilton Ranch to Minden. Longest tow in my life..

@иванкудрин-я6к 4 года назад

Да, на подобных планерах (лак-25, нимбус) еще в советское время спортсмены улетали утром и прилетали вечером, проходя замкнутый 800 км маршрут. У лучших качество было до 28 (расстояние/высоту). Думаю, если к такой технике цеплять выдвижной электродвижок с пропеллером, солнечные батареи на верху, литий полимерные аккумуляторы, то можно лететь сутками в подходящую погоду (но тока не над океаном - там термиков нет). А если сделать крыло изменяемой стреловидности, снизу поставить списаный ускоритель от шаттла, то можно ваще улететь до марса (на орбиту, а там по инерции, ведь запустят, как из пращи, с такой тягой). И видосы слать оттуда уже!!!!!

@babboon5764 4 года назад

I must be missing part of the plot ..... Your aim is to compete in the World Champs And you're chosing an LS3 which is a really old model rather than even say an LS 4 which is still kind of old. Why? (It clearly does fly pretty well but I wouldn't think it would have quite the 'edge' to compet at that level)?

@SteFly 4 года назад

The "club class" are older gliders with 15 m wingspan. Every glider has a handicap factor and you can choose the one you prefer. The LS4 is a good glider but does not have flaps. For tactical and fun reasons I prefer to fly a glider with flaps at the WGC. And my teampartner loves LS3 😁

@soaruk3697 4 года назад

@@SteFly ... Glasflugel 304 has best handicap in the crazy new IGC handicaps - pity no one will be winning with cheaper gliders i.e. Libelle and Cirrus anymore .... the rich white European boys controlling IGC want to get rid of poorer pilots flying competitions......they will eventually kill off the sport with the stupid way competition gliding is going.
