Danke für das Lob!
Felititation Stefan.👍

Congratulations
Well done Stefan. Welcome to Oz
I'm glad you did so well in Australia, Stefan. 👍
I would have liked to come over and meet you, but Narromine is more than 1000km from where I live!
Thanks Johan! Yes, Australia is huge ;)
Congrats 👍🏻🙏🏻
Thank you!
Top Work!
Thanks!
Naromine changed a lot since I was there 25 years ago. Looks much nicer now. Thanks for the video and congrats with a great result.
Thank you.
Excellent 🎉
Thank you!
Glückwunsch
Danke!
Keep up the good work... You'll see what you get out of it... for example, a bigger shelf for all the trophies and awards 😀
🥳🎉
Hahaa thank you! I already have enough trophies at home, perhaps I should retire from comp flying? 😂
Congratulations to you all! I’ve also got a couple of questions about the LS3, first is why didn’t you bring the Larus variometer? And second, is your trailer for the LS3 a specific kind of trailer? I’ve seen a cobra for an LS6 that needed some cuts to make the wings fit because they’re taller at the root.
The Larus Dual GNSS version is installed in my LS3 and it's connected to the SteFly Nav 70, which displays the vario gauge and outputs the vario sound. Yes, it's not so easy to find a trailer for the LS3. I was very fortunate to find a higher Cobra trailer, which works well for my LS3. I have also seen some modifications of the trailer at the wing root, which worked aswell.
Congratulations. I have a dumb question. When you put the ball hitch on sideways, won't it prevent you from turning on all but the slightest of turns?
A lovely video as always Stefan. Small question. In stead of the radio down by the pedestal why not put it where the transponder sits so that it’s easier to change the frequency. Will be in touch. Steve
Hi Steven, the open cutout is a placeholder for the Larus vario display prototype. That’s why I‘m lazy to change it.
Glrückwunsch! 3:32 mich würde es brennend interessieren wie du so viel Wasser während des Fluges "entsorgst"😅
👏👏Congrats from India / Bharat 🇮🇳 Very inspiring
Thank you :)
13.49.... take us to warp speed Mr. Langer 🚀
Glückwunsch Stefan ✈️
Tipps für nen Anfänger bei ner Clubklasse quali?
Danke Dir! Pauschal Tipps zu geben ist nicht einfach. Mein größter Fehler beim ersten Wettbewerb war, dass ich dachte ich muss möglichst tief runter fliegen, um dann einen sehr guten Bart zu bekommen. Das kann zwar in ganz wenigen Fällen funktionieren, allerdings ist da das Außenlanderisiko sehr hoch. Im Endeffekt ist es wichtig homogen gut zu fliegen und dabei nur ein überschaubares Risiko einzugehen. Das obere Drittel der Arbeitshöhe über Grund sollte man abgleiten, bis zur Hälfte spätestens einen Aufwind suchen. Wenn man das als Faustregel im Hinterkopf behält, sollte man ganz gut vorankommen.
Круто!
How did you ship then glider to Australia?
Well done Stef. I see an altimeter is an over rated instrument... who needs one right?
I have a certified digital altimeter installed. The Air Control Display from Air Avionics, which is also the remote control for my transponder.
Is your speed of 200km/h a correct MacCready speed or did you take a great margin for the final, and you had a few meter to spend hence the speed ?
I had some margin and a good convergence line before ;) In general the conditions were not much better than in Europe.
Fantastic video!
Hard to believe how great the weather became after the overcast in the morning, Rocketman - yeah!
This video was a mix from several days ;)
@@SteFly Ah - alles klar!
Sach ma Stefan, mit wieviel km/h in etwas, seid Ihr denn mit so nem Segler im Schnitt unterwegs? Kann man da so mit 100 - 130 km/h rechnen? Also im Geradeausflug meine ich.
Im Geradeausflug bei gutem Wetter mit bis zu 170 km/h Vorfluggeschwindigkeit. Im Durchschnitt inkl. Thermik kreisen und kleinräumige Umwege fliegen zwischen 100 km/h - knapp unter 130 km/h
@@SteFly Ja geil - das fetzt ja voll... muss ich unbedingt mal machen... mit dem Gleitschirm bin ich zwar net so flott unterwegs, dafür aber näher dran an der Frischluft😁
Congratulations. Just wondering, why are all gliders are white in colour?
To keep them cool. A white surface reflects most light, I.e. energy, thus heating up least. The resins used in glider construction are certified up to 50C. To keep them at or below that temp even in desert and tropical environments like Namibia or here Australia the manufacturers mandate white paint.
Just very recently new resins allow higher operating temperatures. You can factory order some gliders in colors other than white mostly in red as to alert others in alpine environments with bright white snow backgrounds
Thank you for replying & sharing your knowledge. Much appreciated 🙌 @@kaihorstmann2783
In 2 Monaten gehts wieder los bei uns, ich kann es schon gar nicht mehr abwarten.
Geht mir genauso ;)
as a poor mexican man in his early 40's from 3rd wolrd, I admire and envy how wealthy young men from 1st world enjoy their hobbies in their leisure time/vacations
I'm sure there's glider pilots from Mexico too. And there's a lot of poor people here in Germany too. 1st world, 3rd world, what's 2nd world actually? These are just words, made up by humans. Nobody can decide their birthplace. A young lad from Germany, in a glider club running a yt channel. C'mon, that's the wrong target to be bitter about. But I feel you. Just know, there's many like you over here too.
Stop it. Change your destiny, with full commitment and aspiration.
Mexico isn't 3rd world
Mexico is not a 3rd world country, dude! A few African countries & Papua New Guinea would be what you're talking about. You live in the Americas, and as such, you can build your life as you see fit & it can all be acquired by seeing what you want and working towards that dream & not throwing resources away on daily whims, but saving & investing! You are made in the image of Almighty God & have no limits💪😎👍
Isso me deixa triste em ver que certas maneiras de voar que no caso em questão é o vôo em planadores fica a cada dia mais caro em funçao do combustível que aqui no Brasil é muito caro!
Te aconselho meu amigo a conhecer o vôo em Asa Delta ou Parapente que não precisa do combustível pra voar!
Acredito que no México tenha pessoas que praticam o Vôo Livre!
Vá conhecer e fazer um vôo duplo pra sentir o quanto é bom voar!
Well done great video, what altitude were you gliding at please in ft. thanks
Thank you! At one time I was at 13,000 ft but most of the competition days we flew below 10,000 ft
🇿🇦
Kannst du mal im sommer nach quirnheim fliegen
Noch nicht von dem Flugplatz gehört. Vielleicht verschlägt es mich mal zufällig dort hin an einem Wandersegelflug ;)
Der flugplatz heißt grünstadt ist aber in quirnheim. Der schönste flugplatz der Pfalz
3:46 was ist denn das für ein gerät? 🤔
Ein Live Tracker, den wir vom Veranstalter aus bekommen haben.
@@SteFly aha... aus Sicherheitsgründen bei Außenlandungen oder zur Live-Verfolgung?
I watch with the sound off while you are soaring....and use CC...that dang Beep beep beep beep drives me crazy...can't a person soar by the seat of their pants ?...lol..
On good days I can get 10knot thermals
Erster
Besser als mein Ergebnis auf der WM. Glückwunsch 👍😂
Must have been like flying in a late 70's early 80's 15m comp - seems you need an older 15m class glider these days to win, gone are the days of the first generation Standard Class gliders winning the Club Class. Thanks to the rich boys at the FAI helping to slowly kill of the sport my making it one more difficult for anyone that is not rich and privileged to compete. Whatever happened to getting rid of the stupid 'team flying' and having one pilot per class so that poorer nations can compete as well? Too much vested interest and influence by rich wealthy western European countries who can afford to send mega large teams? It needs to end, the World Gliding Champions are a mockery of their former self.......................
Team flying is absolutely not necessary these days to be good at a competition. At our nationals I always fly on my own… so absolutely no argument
