What airfield are you launching from?

Ronald, thanks for the enjoyable video. It’s a nice way to finish the gliding season.

Geen beter vermaak dan leedvermaak (06:10) Weer een leuke video! Dank!

I did like this video.

Ronald, great final flight of the season, the fall views are awesome.

you already know the gotthard pass is my favourite part 😁

For a beginner like me it’s interesting to see how different the climb rates can be in the same thermal! Thanks for talking us along, Ronald 😊

Happy towing and happy landings!

cement truck is#2 forTO......

Nice video. Miss the main instruments info taken along during the filming...

What a beautiful spot to go soaring. Maybe better than the Rockies.

Beautiful panorama and i could feel how stressful the landing was from the video

Can US pilot rent a glider there? Obviously with insurance...

hey instructor, I retired from A320 3 yrs ago. with 25000+ hrs. need to fly gliders. where can I meet u ? rgds.

The "manual" errror can also happen if you have been flying to fast or in rough air and the prop has overshoot. As already stated its fairly easy to restart the automatic procedure with ignition on/off. But if you really have to put it in manually I also have an advice. Keep the brake pulled if the prop is lets say 5° before the vertical position. Wait a little to let the compression fill up. Otherwise the compression can make life more difficult and push it over the vertical point to fast. Then use a manual "pulse" tactic to let the prop move in small steps. So release the prop brake only for very short intervals. Don't try to release and brake at the right moment, you will always be to late. Finally, you need to know how a correct vertical prop that fits in the space looks like in the rear mirror. It does in fact not look exactly vertical but you will have the impression, that it is has already turned a little to far. This is normal, because the mirror is looking from an angle.

Ich fliege schon über 20 Jahre Gleitschirm. ua-cam.com/video/ACjVzACSgw0/v-deo.htmlsi=vVzl0lgGdhEUheSE Tolles Video, macht mich an ins Cockpit zu wechseln. 😂 Ich liebe die Thermikfliegerei, aber das Klima (Frühling, Sommer) wird schon bedenklich. Die Segelfliegerei würde mich interessieren. Fly high and save 🤙 P.S. Meine Videos werden von @kassandra Kanal verwaltet. Ich habe noch tonnenweise Rohmaterial, für gute GS Videos.

The most important advantage of an electric motor is that if the battery is charged, the motor will always start and can be relied on. Although for two-seater gliders such as the Arcus-E this is more difficult to achieve due to imperfect batteries, which is probably why this glider is exotic and most Arcus pilots prefer the old school Solo engine.

Hello there, great video! I just discovered you and subbed, may i ask if you could be interested in a collaboration Glider/FPV drone?. I am a licensed and insured Swiss fpv pilot and i think we could get some benefit from each others point of view.😁

Wonderful flight! 2:30 Great balancing and trimming work.

Why is there a yaw string on the side of the canopy?

Great flight Ronald! The summer Alps are just beautiful.

Netter sightseeing Flug. Danke fürs mitnehmen. Aber die Thermik könntest du schon etwas agressiver packen 😝👍

no big loss if you return the licence.

wondeful

Bundaba, my dutch is ales caput, insuldigun, shune flige.

Click bait title , no necessity for that .

Thanks for your videos! What airfield is that?

What a beautiful place to fly! Count yourself fortunate you even get to fly. We are on the ground looking up at the sky because there is no tow plane.

Fantastic video

Is this footage from today, i.e. 15.8?

Great flight, Ronald! What fuel do you use 8:30? If AVGAS 100 LL, it contains tetraethyl plumbum as an anti-detonation additive ad its dangerous for health. There are more environmentally friendly alternatives UL91, MoGas.

Anfängerfehler....

Where is the Problem? If you lost too much altitude, start the engine again.

Sauteures Flugzeug. Da ist klar, dass es für einen professionell befestigten Wollfaden nicht mehr reicht :-))

ändli mal widr mundart uf youtoube........... :-)......................

Thanks! Nice video. Lesson on decision making. I prefer to close the canopy when walking out of the plane (especially when making pictures :) ).

cool!

Hi Ronald. Very informative, despite being a disappointing flight. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Ronald whats going on 7:43 ?

Arcus M owner here (original version). As someone says - the most likely reason to see manual mode is if you touch the manual up/down switxh. To go back to auto you don't need to restarr the engine,. instead turn the ignition on and off again, then press the white button. To move the prop with the ignition off hold your finger on the starter button until 15 degrees before vertical. If you have to use the manual prop brake it should be possible to stop the prop vertical more quickly than that - but you don't have a hand for the stick! And it is difficult to know whether the prop is close enough to vertical.

Are VFR cloud clearance requirements not a thing in Switzerland?

One more hint : If you decide to move the Prop towards the Prop stopper ( Arcus 2 / Ventus 3 ) or the first Magentic Sensor ( Arcus 1 ) you dont need too put the Yellow Ignition button in the ILEC to extend/ON as you said... So if you decide to use the Starter to move the prop towards the retract position , keep the ignition down otherwise you might overshoot the retract position because if you put the the ignition back on you will release the engine Brake / Prop Stopper... You dont have to worry that the starter breaks something when you have the ignition on OFF. It is slowed down ( Makes a weird sound but thats normal )!

I find lift then shut down. Why shut down with no lift?

"Even if this flight was not so special and exciting'? Really? To all other gliders pilots it certainly was very imformative. Thank you. I'd like to get lessons on ridge lift some day. Only thermals for me.

Regularly training for the 5 various scenarii for the engine helps to better understand the logics of ECU. In this case, the propeller stopper seems not to have lifted, whereas stopping the propeller vertically seems a nightmare. Prob. Cause: You may have accidentally hit briefly the pilon manual up/down switch, neutralizing the automated procedure. I find it if faster to start the engine again for a few seconds to reset the ECU in such case rather than struggling with prop brake. You may also flip the yellow ignition switch up/down to see if the prop finger stop lifts again.

Hi Ronald. A "simple" retraction failure like this one shows just how quickly the workload and mental requirements on the pilot increase as you are trying to fly the plane while debugging the situation. Thanks for the video lesson.

Send me your postal address. I'll mail you a better looking yaw-string!
