    No comment about the canopy on this AS-H25 MI Stephan? I noticed the canopy releases were not in typical AS locations and then, it's a one piece canopy topped off with electric operation. Interesting setup.

    • @FinalGlideAus
      @FinalGlideAus 5 місяців тому

      It’s a custom one piece setup. The glider used to be Steve fossett’s and Terry bought after Steve died. At least when I flew it with Terry there was only one spare canopy and would cost around 25k to replace. Terry only had one rule. Only Terry touches the canopy. I was fine with that lol.

    • @SteFly
      @SteFly  5 місяців тому

      This was also one of the first things Terry told me. Never touch the canopy! I refused to ask if I can attache my suction cup GoPro mount to the canopy. Instead this video was entirely filmed with my handheld iPhon 😅

      How does this relate to the video? Gliding is a technical sport and in some cases an engine might be a good solution as a backup.

      That's actually not a new design. That design is nearly 30 years old... Maybe more. The wings are from the 22BLE.

      @@josephinebennington7247it is an open class ship with 25 m (depending on the outer wing configuration) wing span high aspect ratio, and thin profile.
      Only the very stiff carbon fibres make it possible to implement such a design. The flex is just inevitable with these design parameters.
      Every open glass ship with the high wing span config has this amount of flex

    • @tinchote
      @tinchote 5 місяців тому

      The very flexible wings are old fashioned these days. They flex like that because they are mostly fiber glass. Over the last 30 years wings have progressively switched to carbon fibre, which makes them a lot more rigid. The flexibility was not a desired effect, but rather a consequence of the search for thinner wings without the adequate material. These days wings are even thinner and very rigid.
