Flying a big triangle on the Nothern Island of New Zealand is a huge challenge!
If I would fly this task at the same weather conditions again, I would definately NOT push as hard to the limits as I did here.

Fun video! It was a surprise to see my footage, I'm happy you used it. I hope we can meet someday to make a great video. Fly safe.

Thank you so much for these great animations! Someday I need to learn doing them on my own. Would be awesome to make a video together in the future. :)

🔴 What Is Islam? ⚠️ 🔴 Islam is not just another religion. 🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. 🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. 🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. 🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. 🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: 📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4)[4] 📚 🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. 🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

Wow, really impressive flying. As a pilot I have the highest respect for glider pilots. You guys really fly the aircraft perfectly coordinated and reading nature to give you the best performance. I will be trying gliders this year for the first time in my flying career here in the pyrenees. Can't wait.

Hey, I enjoyed the new video format a lot. I lilked the fact that you explained a lot and showed us the task you were flying. And it s quite nice to see how your english improved so much during you time in NZ. It makes your videos much more enjoyable. Happy Landings Hannes

@hatimmounib745 4 года назад

Thank you a lot. You allowed me to escape this confinement mood, and brought so many happy memories to me. It's been nearly two years I didn't fly, and I do really miss that wonderful feeling when you get into a good ascendent thermal, or when you just glid at the seeling of the clouds. Thanks again for this very great footage

@TriadAgone Год назад

Gotta go down to the Kapiti coast, it's a bit of a jump near Masterton when the ridge gets low, but you can fly out on an Island ridge out 3m in the Ocean, and its just you, ocean, and the ridge. From Paraparaumu you can also hop down below the wellington airspace and fly along the ridge beside the cars over the ocean all the way down to wellington

@berndkorthaus5082 4 года назад

Great video where you showed the essence of many soaring days where it can get difficult sometimes, resulting in great excitement at the end however. How many others did complete that task?

@SteFly 4 года назад

Most of the other pilots managed to fly the task. But it is a different competition format than we are used to in Germany. It´s called enterprise. So we had some waypoints which we should fly to and for each turnpoint we got 50 or 100 points. Additionally we got 1 point for every kilometer of an FAI triangle. I tried to fly as big as possible, but that was a little bit too much.

@troublehd7236 4 года назад

@TriadAgone 4 года назад

In Paraparaumu the guys would fairly frequently fly south under the Wellington Class C zone on the coast around 500-700'. The other party trick was to fly out to an island off the coast which had a beautiful shear rock face on the ocean side, soar up in it and join the wave which common set up just behind it near the coast. 5 or 6 miles over water feels very wierd when you are down low on the island!

@LSVFlachkurbler 4 года назад

das war ja mal spannend ! Werd jetzt langsam neidisch. Aber wie ist das mit den Bonuspunkten ? Du bist da ja ewig an der Küste geparkt nur um da noch einen Punkt zu bekommen, kommts da auf Speed auch an oder nur daß man die Punkte einfliegt ?

@SteFly 4 года назад

An der Westküste war kein Bonuspunkt. Dort wollte ich nur ein möglichst großes Dreieck aufspannen. An dem Tag gab es keine Speedwertung, die Punktzahl hat sich aus den erreichten Bonuspunkten und den FAI Dreieckskilometern errechnet. Ich fand die Enterprise Wettbewerbsform interessant, jedoch sollte es auch dafür Regeln und Richtlinien geben. Manchmal war die Aufgabenstellung und -auswertung etwas planlos.
