    Tous les pilotes inexpérimentés rêvent de pouvoir traverser la couche nuageuse ou de jouer à saute-mouto avec les Cumulus. Comme beaucoup d'autres pilotes, je l'ai fais mois aussi, en Ultra-léger motorisé notamment et puis un peu plus tard, j'ai passé mon brevet de pilote avion, j'étais devenu un peu plus responsable. J'ai accumulé des heures de vols et j'ai passsé mon pilote professionnel avion et aussi mon IFR mulimoteur. Je n'ai pas eu besoin d'arrivé à ce niveau par ailleurs pour me rendre compte du risque mortel que j'avais encouru en traversant la couche nuageuse sous condition VFR, lorsque je faisais de l'ULM. Le risque d'entrer en collision avec un autre avion, en somme. Il est vrai, c'est beau là haut et c'est facilement accessible sans fournir trop d'effort, sans même être obligé de monté très haut, mais ne faites pas ce genre de chose.

  • @vitorsv9930
    @vitorsv9930 4 роки тому

    Hello friend. Is the ASW28 glider good for thermals?
    I want to buy a good thermal glider in order to get a good flight time. I'm from Brazil and there are a lot of thermals here.
    And on a few thermal days, with a battery of 3S 2200mah or 3000 mah, how many minutes do you think you can fly? 30 min with a 3000 mah battery?

    • @themaydaypilots
      @themaydaypilots  4 роки тому

      Hello Vitor ! Due to my changes, the plane weights 1600g with a 4Ah battery. With this heavy configuration It still take thermals very nicely ! I already flew 3 hours with less than 2000mah... Also meaning if you plan to fly this way, I'd suggest not to use a 4000mah but something like 2000mah or even less depending on your thermal conditions. Ofc, this is a half foam plane, nothing compared to a composite/balsa glider witch is even better.
      Here is a RAW of me thermalling for 90 mins : ua-cam.com/video/GH_DIL7cRjA/v-deo.html

      Thank you Aerogeek and congrats getting yours fpvborne ^^ I'm used to fly with 2 battery setup : OR one 2200mah when i'm planing to thermal OR the 4400mah when i'm planning to use it like a plane BUT...even with the 4400mah 4S it still take thermals... Here's a link where i'm flying ith the 4400mah's and had to land after 90mins because my battery was empty.....the video battery ! ua-cam.com/video/GH_DIL7cRjA/v-deo.html But i'd say without thermals here is the truth : 4-5Amps for level flying, 12-15Amps by climbing @ 60% throttle....From that you can calculate all type of flights you eventually planned :)

      Its really beautifull to fly in the clouds, and to see so much things high in the sky.In Europe there is a limit indeed for a max 120m.But what will happen if your rc plane will run into a motor from an airline.There is a possibility the commercial plane will crash and hundreds off people will die.

    This can't be in America. Because in America you can only fly 400 feet high according to the FAA.
