  • Somtimes competition flights are very demanding. At this day we had very low cloudbase, we flew in a complex area and I even struggled to get back home…
    But on the other hand flying international competitions is always a kind of holidays. Having a nice breakfast in a small cafe, meeting new friends and to be able to see the landscape from the birds perspective - that´s awesome!

    Is there an optimal strategy for using the FES in competition? For example, is it better to use it early to save your altitude ... or wait until you've gotten low and then use it to sustain until you hit lift? Or maybe shortcuts across blue holes?
    I also have an FES but have never flown competitions. I rarely use the FES and I only have about 20 cycles on the motor after flying it for 7 years although I've started using it more lately.
    It would be interesting to know if there was something like a MacCready strategy for FES.
    Also ... I'm extremely jealous that you get to fly around Italy!!!

      @@benjaminbenavidesiglesias52 We call it humor. Have you ever seen people pulling a strange face, and producing weird noises, like haha or hee heee hee? Things you do or say that make people react so weird, that is called humor. It is contageous, it is a social thing, the more people witness your humor, the better. You could try hurting yourself in public on purpose, making it look like an accident. Don't over do it, getting badly wounded or passing away is not always appreciated. Fire arm accidents are very funny, somebody buys a gun to feel safer, and what happens, he forgets the safety catch and shoots in his own foot. Would you feel safe, around such a moron? No, huh, and that is ironic, and that is funny. But those fire arm people have less humor, so shooting yourself and repeatedly crying you expected to feel much safer, I'd not recommend it everywhere. So, be a bit careful how bad you hurt yourself. Stumbling and falling to the ground or smashing into sign posts, pretending not to have seen the obstacles, though it hurts a lot, it usually does the trick.
      Have fun, trying your first humor.
      Later on, you'll discover that comparing is also humor. Comparing an electric glider to a smoothy blender is the first example. You did not recognize it, but after my hint, do you see it?
      It spins and it makes a lot of noise because it has a powerful electric motor. And it has some blades that would cut off your fingers without any trouble. Smoothie. E-glider. Got it?
      Gee, you got to explain literally EVERTHING to some people. Why is it my turn? Help!

      Its useful to see other people fly if only to determine if we are all as safe as we might be. Its clear that your community thinks nothing of flying low over an inhabited area. You were also in a tow behind a single engine aircraft which is noisy, of course, bad enough, but left you both for several moments over a town which neither of you could fly clear of if the engine spluttered and died. As I said, your community thinks nothing of taking such risks. Its a hobby so needs to have higher, not lower, standards than essential or even commercial operators because the wider population have no need of your activity so it represents zero gain for the risks they are taking.

      if you're talking about the beeping sound, it's to know if your glider is gaining or losing altitude. if it's high pitched, then the glider is Gaining altidute. if it's low pitched though, the glider is Losing altidute. if the beeping is not "beeping", then the glider is in the same altitude.

      @ChrizRockster 4 года назад

      If you're talking about airflow sounds, there are various things on the aircraft that could lead to air making a noise such as the canopy, canopy window etc. A slight gap in the canopy seal or canopy sliding vent window could lead to airflow making a whistling noise.
      If you're talking about the sound like a slide flute, that is the Variometer that indicates a positive or negative effect on altitude. This provides a clear audible feedback to the pilot that they are either gaining or losing altitude.

    This is by far the coolest shit i’ve found on the internet. The footage feels exactly like an F-15 Eagle footage except that it is towed by another plane to get up in the air. How long can the propellers turn at full speed? Is there petrol stores in the glider? or is everything electric?
