      So gut das Video auch gemacht ist, so falsch ist leider die Reparatur. Bei Gewebereparaturen sind Schäfftlängen einzuhalten, die je nach Material unterschiedlich sind. Bei GFK 2cm pro Lage (NB.: von Instrumentenbrettern aus CFK ist abzuraten, diese sind zu spröde und splittern im Zweifel) Die Lagen wurden danach leider auch genau verkehrtherum eingelegt. Der Lagenaufbau innerhalt der Reparatur ist genau invertiert zum eigentlichen Aufbau und somit wird die kleinste Lage am Schluss draufgelegt. Wenn man den Vereinsälteren nicht vertraut, dann lieber in die Flickfibel von Ursula Hänle (www.dg-aviation.de/wp-content/uploads/flickfibel-d_Optimized.pdf) zu Gemüte führen. Das hier gezeigte ist nicht zur Nachahmung empfohlen. Zudem, und das sollte man sich mal überlegen, muss das Instrumentenbrett das Gewicht aller darin verbauten Instrumente mal 9g aushalten (Crashfall). Leichtfertigkeit im Bau zahlt sich am Ende nicht aus. Grüße

    I like your Videos Stefan. Is there any chance you could do a series on gliders that you don't own. If while at the field you see an odd or older glider you could take it up for a quick review flight, with a post flight epilogue of the landing handling, etc. I like your positivity and delivery. It's obvious you have passion for gliding. Thanks.

    I actually stopped using the electronic vario last year. I found that it made me a better pilot by using the analog vario and feeling the plane and how it acts when going into a thermal.
    I do NOT miss the constant tone from the electronic vario!

    • @SteFly
      @SteFly  3 роки тому

      Feeling the plane is very important! Especially when flying at a competition with many other gliders it is mandatory to have an acoustic variometer. I don´t want to miss this possibily but on the other hand it is really annoying to hear the sound of the vario at night

    Das Video wurde von Minute zu Minute interessanter.
    Ich stehe auch vor dem Instrumentenpanel-Redesign und verfolge das daher umso gespannter.
    Ich stehe noch vor der Entscheidung, Dein 7"-SteFly-OpenVario zu nehmen oder das LX9070.
    Ich habe Dein OpenVario mal live gesehen, das war schon super.
    Leider ist das XCSoar-Projekt etwas eingeschlafen und hat seine Innovationskraft verloren: Live-Internet im Flug für Live-Sat-Bilder oder OGN-Ziele in der Map und danach zum Upload der IGC-Files (vom Flarm) oder Over-the-Air-Updates usw. Oder die Hardware-Seite mit Echtzeit-Windberechnung, Wölbklappen-Sensoren usw.
    Aber dafür 4000 € mehr ausgeben? Dann vielleicht doch besser zum OpenVario greifen.
    Ach, die Entscheidung ist so schwer. Ich bin gespannt, wie Dein LS3-Cockpit am Ende aussehen wird.

    • @SteFly
      @SteFly  3 роки тому

      Vielen Dank, Arnulf!
      Die LXNav Geräte sind super und beinhalten sehr viele Features. XCSoar und auch das OpenVario ist ein Open-Source Projekt, weshalb mal mehr und mal weniger vorwärts geht. Für das OpenVario gibt es schon einen Competition Manager, mit dem man einfach per WLAN die Aufgaben und Lufträume in XCSoar laden kann. Mit der neuen Plattform WeGlide bin ich auch optimistisch, dass es bald eine Integration in XCSoar oder im OpenVario Menü geben wird. Hiermit können dann auch Aufgaben heruntergeladen und Flüge vom IGC Logger direkt auf WeGlide hochgeladen werden.
      XCSoar ist meiner Meinung nach ein ausgereiftes Programm, mit dem man sehr gut fliegen kann.
      Wieviel Geld man am Ende bereit ist zu investieren, muss man selber abwägen. Auch mit einer Smartphone-Lösung und einfachster Avionik kann man Wettbewerbe gewinnen (z.B. Vor-WM) oder aber in einen Luftraum einfliegen, weil die Kartendarstellung so klein ist und man es nicht mitbekommt (wie in Neuseeland).

      @Will Swift I've done something better by replacing all instruments with a single digital unit that displays everything on a single screen similar screen like the F-35 and the F-18 new block 3 screen but just a bit more smaller. Analog instruments are thing of the past now.

    • @antoniok4735
      @antoniok4735 2 роки тому

      @Will Swift I don't like the analog instruments in general. They are old fashion not very reliable and mostly they take to much space. With the digital dash that I went for is much better because you can customize which gages you want to be displayed you can move their position around the screen the comms freq. Is always on top so it's much easy to understand way cheaper for future upgrades.
      My display is 15 inch touch screen 1024 x 720 LED, IPS panel 500 nits brightness with a special filter to absorb light not to reflect it very similar to the LG OLED TV screens filter.
      The screen is not the best for screen resolution or brightness but it gets the job done and it's low power consumption. I had to increase the batteries
