Good morning from Washington state USA, im watching your videos on my smart TV it's very useful im looking for to buy or making one in the future and I subscribed your channel already thanks and have a wonderful day and takecare, see you next video. 👍👍
Cool vid! Yah, I experience this exactly with my eXenos as well. Normal climb rate is ~400ft/min, but I can average 800 or more if I climb under power while in a thermal. E-soaring is cool 'cause you get to manage 2 sources of energy, thermals and your battery, and there's some interesting strategy in how you combine them! Have you seen Greg Cole's awesome presentation on regenerative soaring? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ijDvXUaC0_M.html
I had not seen that presentation. Thanks for pointing me to it. As you say, combining the energy from convective lift with the electric drive train output is just a matter of figuring out when it is productive and when it is not. Regeneration can be enabled on the Geiger system, however I don't think I can do it with a folding prop, and at 30-35 kts I don't know how much power it can generate. I have had motor units with clutches and no prop brake that were like flying with a drag chute with the motor off and my concern would be that regeneration from the prop would degrade the L/D significantly. The conditions on this day seemed suitable for a technique known as dynamic soaring, which I don't believe anyone has explored with trikes yet.
On a six foot boom extended from the rear of the keel tube. A properly aligned 360 camera will make the boom disappear like magic. The wide angle lens adds to the effect.
@@mikedillonhaswings I'm in Virginia. Plenty of WSC instructors here, but wasn't sure if specialized training was necessary for the ANT-E specifically.
