Silent 2 Electro have a small propeller

How muxh are one of these aircraft ?

Flew my club's K6CR for the first time yesterday - my first single seater flight and it was incredibly fun to fly! In the words of one of my instructors "you only have to think 'i want to turn' and you're turning"!

I was dual I had a share in a Blanik L13 I have a walking disability

.... And when I registered registered my electric motorcycle The county office marked it down as gasoline And when I had my motorcycle inspected they thought it was a gasoline....🎉🎉

Whereabouts were you flying?

Ach ist das schön anzusehen und immer noch ein Meter steigen

Hi Rudi, Thank you very much for your great insight and your great content. Would you maybe have a link to a shopping page where you bought the suction cups for the rear mount on the stabilizer? It looks nice and low profile and not so bulky as when you build it with a RAM mounts. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Marcel

So clean and lovely. Unfortunately ruined by candidates begging for money in my country

I made this idea and thought this was my invention that would change the world but after I saw this video I am banging my head against the wall😭😭😭. My idea was already a thing in real life.

K6E was the model we used in the club before we switched to glassfibre planes. I loved all of them (Ka6CR, Ka6E, Ka7, K8, ASK 13).

Ive only ever flown aero tow. What kind of input do you have to put in and how high can you get?

I have wonderful memories of the Ka6, doing my 50 kilometer flight from Montricher to La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. If I were to fly gliders again, I’d probably want to fly a Ka 6.

Sorry... where is the engine on this aircraft?

is this glider still in production?

Brilliant 👏

Flying the Ka6cr -67 in our club. (Privatly owned). You can really feel the rising air in that one. Pretty new as a glider pilot, but really like the vintage aircraft. 😁

thanks! a great introduction to FES

Can you fly this from NY to Florida?

can you fly from Albania crossing the Adriatic sea to Italy with a glider? or is it to far

glückwunsch...👍 das 1000 kilometer diplom hängt bei mir auch an der wand...😉

I had some very good initial feelings with Hawk but I have had quite misleading days with it too. Sometimes when low I have been stuck in thermals that Hawk signaled as positive enough but I realized my altitude was going down. It is not a good surprise to realize that when you have little margin. Also in other thermals when Hawk was barely positive and I went up solidly. I started with a lot of trust after the trial period but I have put back the sound back to TEK which seems to me now that is less reliable at the start, more false positives and more time lag, but more reliable when staying in the thermal. Maybe I have something wrong, but I have had both experiences. My negative surprise was how much you tend to trust vario sound, up to the point where it can get you into a bit of trouble by staying in a too weak thermal for longer than needed.

I have a K6E…. Nothing better than

Do you know who I can ask for a private 2 hour flight in Austrian or swiss alps?

near miss.....?

just VL3

Great video. Those 360 shots were amazing 👍🇦🇺

Is there a two place version of this glider?

thanks for showing storage compartment

Hi Rudy, I owned a KA 6CR in the late 70's. Entered a few sports class contests and flew it a lot. I sold it and purchased a Standard Cirrus. It's true that the performance and characteristics are vastly different but flying KA 6CR would bring a smile to any sailplane pilots face, as it did to yours.

How much power is required to sustain flight?I have an electric Bosch motor 3.5kw and 110 ftlbs of torque from electric motorcycle.Battery 3kwh.Could this sustain level flight?

One of the best enthusiastic sailplane videos i have seen; beautiful cloud level soaring in a great ship. As a kid in the mid 60's, I spent my weekends in Rockwall, TX, where my late-father flew another classic, a Schweizer 1-26, but I knew he actually coveted the Ka6cr which a few guys flew at the club. Years later, in my early adulthood, I bought myself a 1-26 and loved every minute of it. After a couple of years, I moved up to another classic, a Standard Libelle 201b, that was an amazing and easy ship to fly; not so easy to land, ha. Great times for sure.

How much that glider cost.

This thing is soooooo cool.

This appears to be the best powered implementation for glider purists who wish to forego the tow line, and as you rightly point out, there's a big difference between a retractable and built-in motor. I hope the electric powered glider industry will pursue this technology further. If I was going to purchase my own glider, this is the exact type I would get.

When I took up gliding in 1964 I was 20 and the Ka6 was the clubs 'hot ship'. It took 3 or for 4 years before I got a seat in it. Then we got a 301 Libelle!

Have you noticed any degredation in runtime or power after owning this for a couple years?

I flew a K8 in wave to 18000 feet from a low point of 300 feet in 1982, no oxygen,radio,parachute or electric vario just an old ticking barometer behind my head lol and no warm clothing sheesh I was 30 years old then, Im 72 now and the memory is still vivid, I got my gold height award for that and landed at dusk after a few hours airborne once I found a hole in the clouds to spiral down through...the beer tasted good after that I tell ya.

Rudi, Ja, Sie haben einen Motor, Sie haben ULM. Das ist eine einmalige Erfahrung, ich stelle mir die überraschten Gesichter des internationalen Flughafenpersonals vor. Wie viel waren Start, Landung und Parken für das Segelflugzeug Silent 2 billiger als für den daneben geparkten Airbus A320?

Rudi, Es ist selten, dass ein Blogger die Essenz von Naturphänomenen klar erklären kann, vielen Danke!

This is cool, it would be interesting if someone could design wings with 1-2kW of solar panels to give even more range.

Beautiful. Thanks.

This is sooo cool! How much do you pay for a Self Startable glider?

I have a Ka6E, it is wonderful to fly. I have an ASH 31Mi as well, it is wonderful too, but they are very different. Together with a friend I have an ASK 13, an old twoseater, fun too. I guess I am a Schleicher fan😊

Kudos to you Rudi!

Congratulations Rudi! Hope that reaching such a top achievement will not decrease your motivation for further flying!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch....well done...

Amazing storytelling throughout the whole video with ups and downs. Cant wait for your next challenges!

Super Rudi, weiter so!

Congrats Rudi! That is an incredible achievement!
