      At least I am so happy to fly almost the same plane. When my LS3-17 is in 15 meter configuration, winglets attached, it is identical to Stefans LS3 WL. Somehow I don't manage to do that phantastic flights of his.

    An easy list of the great ambassadors of soaring: Stefan, Bruno, and Tim. Awesome video Stefan! I’m hoping to travel by glider this fall with the DG505MB. The back seat would make for lots of storage, or perhaps I’ll bring one of my kids for each leg?

    Is LARUS wind calculation working while towing?

    • @SteFly
      @SteFly  Рік тому

      Should work ok, especially with the CG hook. But I was asking myself the same when I first saw my footage 😅
      It's called LARUS

    • @LeonBraun
      @LeonBraun Рік тому

      Right :D Just corrected it.
      I think it's not as good as in soaring conditions. I'm not fully get through the algorithm but in my understanding it needs some circles in gliding condition to get the exact wind and than calculates via IAS, TAS, heading and bearing the wind changes. But maybe some of the developers can clear this up.

      I´m flying here an old glider from 1977, which costs about 40.000 € for the complete set incl. trailer. A brand new 18 m wingspan glider with self launch propulsion, equipment incl. German VAT costs more than 300.000 €

      There are cockpit air vents for air conditioning. If it's cold, you better have warm clothing on, especially for the feet.
