Aloha Tom!🌍 Graceful Thermalling with the COOL😎Fairing Design & Great Wing! What an AWESOME way to SURF🏄🏼 the AIR☁️Element Kingdom👍! The Aeros ANT E-Drive performs Beautifully! Thank you kindly fore sharing! Looking Upward in getting one myself & ENJOY our GORGEOUS Heavenly Skies🌈. Namaste🙏!
Hey Tom. Thanks for posting another video of your Aeros Ant. How much of a difference does the set of fairings that you have added help with it's performance? Is it really noticeable? Mike
No it has the Corsair 25 hp with fox 16 t . I plan on making an electric self launching unit for my hang glider . I have lots of 6 to 10 cell rc planes , is it the same type of set up in your ant? Eg motor , esc , and battery but scaled up.
+Garry Kennedy Thank you for the response. Around 45 years ago, an American guy told me about thermal bubble. I heard from other guy that a veteran pilot of a glider can fly for 3 days. 3 days were limit because the pilot had to sleep(^^;). An electric trike is very easy for restarting engine(electric motor). Therefore a veteran pilot can fly for a very long distance, I suppose so.
Cloud suck can be very bad. There was a guy that was gliding and got sucked up into the clouds and was up there for a very long time. I forget how long, but it was several days. He had frozen solid like a popsicle and landed in a farmers field. The farmer saw him land and said it looked like a good landing but the pilot wasn't moving, so he went out to him and found him sitting there totally frozen solid. Amazing!
+Garry Kennedy Thanks for you advice. It's a very terrible story. I thought there were many troubles which I could not imagine. Now many air trikes don't have heaters but if there is a heater air trikes will be much funny.
No, its is not the same setup like RC Planes. The Drive Unit HPD16 or HPD 20 is a powerful brushless engine with direct drive, RPM 2200 or 2500 so very high efficiency with a direct drive. It also has a BMS Battery Management System which communicates between Controller, Batteries and electric Motor. So a very high degree of safety. Just see www.geigerengineering.de/avionik/downloads
The Motor is a Geiger HPD 16, Peak Power 18 KW, climbs with me 3,5 m/s and outclimbs the 35 HP Engine of my Friend. The Batteries are 2 Lion Battery Packs 68 AH each with a sophisticated and safe Battery Management System. For more specs see www.geigerengineering.de/avionik-elektroantriebssystem/produkte/
Ah, the singing wires! Beautiful...this is the ultimate flying machine, at last.

Hi it is an Aeros combat Topless with struts. Tremendous Handling. The Geiger System is very reliable and has lots of safety features.
One day soon brother ☺️ I hope to keep ya company for a bit up there in my ANT👍👍👍🏁🏁🏁
I fly a north wing solairus. Soaring trike. Your making those electrics lookin good.
If you want an electric Drive, just go for it! You can adapt the Geiger Drive on just about any Trike :)
That was a huge thermal! Who makes that fairing? Is it also from Aeros?
With the fairing the trike has a lower power consumtion of about 10-15 percent and I have warm feet 😊
Now you need to figure how to turn that motor into a generator when thermaling or just gliding. Probably too much drag though.
Hey Tom.

Request 2 hours flight time:
I am testing with 3 Batteries now...1.5 hours engine time +whatever you get on thermals :)
congratulations for thermal flight do you fold the rear wheel sometimes?
Gday mate , just bought the ant last week was wondering where you got the fairing from , looks sweet 😎👍🇦🇺
Hi, we made this fairing ourselves made by Klenhart design, but you can buy a cute fairing from Aeros see my other video the new HPD20
Did you buy electric?
No it has the Corsair 25 hp with fox 16 t . I plan on making an electric self launching unit for my hang glider . I have lots of 6 to 10 cell rc planes , is it the same type of set up in your ant? Eg motor , esc , and battery but scaled up.
That is such a sweet setup! How is it holding up?
Trimmgeschwindigkeit je nach Gewicht ca 55kmh. Reise 70kmh
Is the 55kph the limit of the motor or the wing - what is the max trim speed of wing?
Cheers, Patrick
+Tom Frey
Can you earn altitude without power using slope rising wind etc?
You can if the thermals are strong enough. Ridge lift or slope lift is possible also.

The second problem is oxygen. Over 12000 feet you need to bring some with you.
How high up was this? Hard to tell with the wide angle camera?
about 1100 m

Can you make XC flights purely on thermals or is it to difficult with this "machine"?
Beathful images!!
Good afternoon Tom. I need to know what power and voltage of your engine? And what type of batteries? Thanks.

The Fairing is a Klenhart Design Custom made Product Germany/ Spalt
it is Ukrainian development
Of course you can use Thermals and slopes....:)
wie schnell fliegt die combat Fläche im normalen Reiseflug
Oh, hab den Beitrag irgendwie übersehen. Sorry ca 65 kmh, man kann auch ein bisschen ziehen
Berapa harganya mr
any website for the setup?
tq

don't understand, its in german
@@mohdsaifulmohdsaid852 doesn't matter Mohd, feel free to learn German..it is an really nice language 👍
