#LS3 #GliderTuning
Holy cow look at the size of them! They look great, nice work
Sehr schönes Flugzeug, das knarzt ja noch schlimmer als unsere fast 35 Jahre alte LS4😁
Good luck with your LS3, my preferred glider .
Good Luck! Really looking forward to seeing and listening to your dialog while you are flying your tasks. Verbalizing/speaking you thoughts and decisions while flying are great learning moments for us all.
The Winglets are very nice🔥🔥🔥
Hi Stefan! I had my first glider flight a few days ago here in Brazil and it was amazing. I'd like to thank you for inspire me to know more about this wondeful world of gliding! I wish you amazing flights ✈
Hi Caio, thank you so much! I hope you will have some more flights in the future.
@@SteFly Thank you so much Stefan, you're awesome!
Nice to fly with you again, Stefan. 😀
Great looking winglets!
I hope you win the World Gliding Championships. 👍
Thank you! 👍
Good luck! My stefly Stick & openvario are now in my plane - and you've fun at the WC in France! See you, Roger
Thank you! I wish you great flights with the SteFly equipment :)
Wow, i like how you push things to happen. Nice work on the winglets. All the best for your competition!
Thank you!
Beautiful winglets!
Beautiful winglets
Beautiful winglets💥
There so gorgeous cant wait for journeys with them❤️
The canopy sure is squeaking,...or might be the cowling for the new instrument panel,...our club has 3 ASK-21s and we had the same noise with one of them,...it turned out to be the cowling at the curved corner. The bird looks great.
Really interesting
It would be interesting to measure the polar of your Ls3 both with and without these winglets, for example at the Idaflieg sommertreffen.
Since this profile was used on many older gliders, these winglets could work on all those gliders.
cool i like it.. always carefull
Thanks for the video!! Really nice winglets :)
Nice video Stefan. Danke Sehr!
Finally! 👍 Ive been waiting for your next video 😀
wow amazing
Amazing
Amasing
Very nice
Why does the vario sound so weird? Is it because the audio got messed up by the camera or does it always sound like that?
Cool video😎
Up to now I'm using the vario sound generated by XCSoar
Hi Stefan! Where did you get those nice handles for the tow release and emergency canopy jettison? Those are not standard correct?
Would be interesting how much the whole equipment for the Ls3 and ofcourse the Ls3 itself has cost
Very neat looking Ls-3 you have there, great inspiration for my LS3-17! Any ideas about if, when and for what price these winglets will be available for sale? Think these look way better than the recent developed winglets, but performance improvement is another thing to look for of course. When you have more flights flown with it, I’m very interested in your opinion about the winglets. Good luck on the world championships, I will follow your performances online!
They are going to be available, pricing and timing not determined yet.
Hello Lennart, I also own a LS3-17 and it is equipped with winglets provided by LTB Güntert-Kohlmetz. They are nice, but these look even better!
LS3-17 is a small community, contact me if you like!
Another great video! Thanks. The new vario is the XC-variometer ? It looks like a great integration tool with the Open Vario. I also like the small aerodynamic tipsupport underneath the winglet. Is it sacrificial in that it can be replaced?
No, it is not a XC-Vario. This new prototype vario uses differential GPS antennas and an IMU sensor. Only the sensors costs a lot more than the XC-Vario.
The tipsupports are attached with doublesided tape, so I can replace them..
Hello Stefan from Sydney Australia.
Winglets
Are you seeing any increase in glider flight characteristics, or performance?
Good stuff.
🌏🇦🇺
Omg finally after a month
What happens if the tow rope malfunctions and doesn't release from the glider? Can the airplane release from its end? Otherwise both the glider and plane would have to land together?
Yes, the towplane can release to. The towplane will fly back to the airfield with the glider and release the cable when the glider is on its path to land.
I like glider specifically your videos friend
Schöne Winglets. Die werden aber leider nichts gegen CC, der gleich links von Dir stand, ausrichten können.... Trotzdem wünsche ich Dir viel Erfolg bei der Meisterschaft.
good view
Too bad you don't get any participation. WOW! Is the subwinglet oriented the opposite flow direction to the main winglet to 'unscrew' the tip vortex, like it was on the LongEZ I built, with the airfoil actually morphing over subwinglet 'span'? Just curious.
And were these tunnel tested for L/D increase? Any notable changes in handling characteristics?
Would love to know more about the variometer. Can you share some info?
It has two GNSS antennas and uses an IMU sensor. As far as I know it doesn't use static pressure or TEK pressure for the vario. It is very fast and also has real time wind. Up to now it's a test device which uses the Air Traffic display with a different software for the user interface.
Thursday was my first thermal flight with it and I'm super impressed.
@@SteFly I suspected something like that. I'm building something like that as well, and have test flown with two GNSS antennas too recently. I'd love to get into contact with the developers.
It would be great to hear more about that Variometer. Especially if it’s not using pressure inputs but rather relies on GPS signals as well as inputs from the IMU (inertial measurement unit?).
Also, I was wondering if the two-tone sound has a special meaning. The major beep sounded a lot like the normal vario sound. But it sounded to as if the secondary beep was either below the first one or above depending on the gradient of the current thermal, ie if the thermal is getting stronger the secondary beep is above the primary one and if the thermal is getting weaker the secondary beep is below the primary one…
Need to listen to that again :)
Do you know the source of all the airframe clunking noises? Is it the carry through perhaps or? Could something be waxed to minimise it? In an AS, it seems control input related, but this sounds different. For me, it’s distracting in the video. Really liked being able to read mechanical vario in concert with audio vario.
I´m not completely sure what´s the cause. In reality it is not as bad as it sounds in the video...
Great
Will those winglets be available for production?
Cool
Nice
Stefan, are these winglets removable or permanently fixed to the wing? Also, who are they available for sale through and is documentation provided to maintain certification? I am looking at an LS3 for club class flying.
Nice....
Good
YOU'RE THE WORLD BEST CHAMPION 🏆BEST OF LUCK❤KEEP GOING WELL🎉FLY MORE 🛩️FLY SAFE 🥰
nice
Wow
Interesting Vario noise 😁
Wird es diese Winglets in ferner Zukunft auch als Winglet-Option für den Markt geben? Sehen nämlich mega aus! Und noch hat meine LS3 keine Winglets ;)
Ja. :)
@@alpha4You das hört sich doch gut an 😋
First from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩❤️🌹❤️
Device spricht sich als DIEWAIS. vario entsprechend WARIO. ausserdem ist das im englishen vertical speed. und das LBA ist das Letzte...austro control rox oder IAA
Hi 👋
Sehr cool
Nice 🙌🤗❤️
👍👍
I've visited Rollander Schneider in Egelsbach. I had a new LS-3A, wished I had LS-3 with the full flaparons instead. Still don't understand why LS-3 was dropped, it was better.
I have not flown an LS3a but I also heard that the only good LS3 is the "Blei" (lead)
The original LS3 needed a lot of lead to fight aileron flatter. The wings were ridiculous heavy. That's why it was called LS-Blei, as Stefan told already. I have a LS3-17, when flown in the 15 meter configuration, it is identical to the LS3A.
@@SteFly My flying partner had the LS3, I've helped him assemble it many times, it wasn't so heavy when I was young, It was a very good glider, we also called lead sled!
What is the cracking/creaking noise in the cockpit?
I have the exact same question! I wonder if it's radio noise?
Some gliders got it, some don't. It's just the seat shell giving in and rubbing against it's mounting points. Usually it's not dangerous or bad.
It may be annoying, but on the other hand it may also be one more indicator that tells you what your plane is doing.
Warum baut man nicht ab? Das verpacken und verzurren dauert doch länger, als in den sicheren Anhänger schieben.
Der Anhänger ist so schlecht, dass man mehr beim Abbauen kaputt machen kann 😂
Zusätzlich sind die Tragflächen mit über 80 kg kein Leichtgewicht und am Morgen ist man deutlich schneller das Flugzeug direkt mit Bezügen an den Start zu ziehen.
@@SteFly ich schlaf bloß immer besser. Wenn ich weiß das dem Flieger nichts passiert. Ist extrem Leistungsförderung 🙂
Ach und viel Glück und Spaß
@@volkerhuhs6661 Danke Dir!
fly high…
Sind das komplett neue Winglets oder die die seit Anfang 2020 verfügbar sind?
Komplett neue Winglets
How much the price ?
How can you legally fly a competition with new winglets?
Güntert & Kohlmetz made the STC 🙏
Are these the same winglets as the ones G&K advertise on their website? If not, do the same weight and speed restrictions apply?
Nice mask, may be it’s better to wear also during the flight! 😜
Waoooo
คุณจะขายหมดมันเป็นเครื่องที่ประสิทธิภาพสูงคนซื้อมีคนไม่พอใจแน่นอน

You dealt with a scam company, and you made Sky Media fraudulent content
Because you buy like from sky media 👎👎👎👎
Amazing
Nice
