yes it does! Stall speed is only a few mph more than a topless. It is heavier though. Real pleasure to fly, power steering. I see many belly landing them intentionally. Glad you enjoyed! Happy to take you along.
cant believe missed this vid ,Hey man, So what caused the Overshoot ? As a layman , I believe those ATOS's generate incredible ground effect , especially on warm-hot days :)
The tone was the sink alarm, its set to 200 fpm (as a reminder to get going when you hear it) when it stopped, I hit some lift, I said ahh fuck because I was going to be long already, as it was boutent in the LZ and I was going to be longer now. (more walk back) Not the end of the world, but I like to play the "its a small LZ" game in a big one as practice for when I really need it, like here ua-cam.com/video/ImEg6WRsxcw/v-deo.html
Yep! should have extended the downwind leg for sure. Normally the flaps let you make up for an error like that. It was very buoyant. Given the size of the LZ, I can get a bit complacent sometimes. (bad thing to do) should always have a "spot" picked out and aim for. So when you "have to" you can. The smoke is nice. I have one in the harness and 3 drop streamers. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Yeah, I did setup a bit high, but I can usually get it on the deck sooner. Some days I tell ya. Had a landing with my old VR there before, the flaps were a little less effective than the new ones, that thing would go forever! ua-cam.com/video/SwUZw7RiKYY/v-deo.html
Yes,! If I get desperate I could toss the drag Chute. I haven't tried that yet . there wss a pilot years back that used one, and it seemed to work very well. The spoilers would be a nice option to have as you can retract them
идея конечно идиотская , имея ГО , сделать стреловидность по передней кромке и С образный профиль на дозвуковом ЛА . Делай прямую кромку, несущий профиль и нормальное ГО . Ни рыба ни мясо в конечном итоге.
@@MikeBomstad I thought not, Mike; I'm guessing they make all the difference in a short field. I'm getting a VQ race with air brakes. Hope they help me too!
I would have to double-check but I believe it's either 21 or 22 mph, I normally have about 3 seconds before the onset of actual stall which I believe is around 18 19 mph. You want sets higher than stall so you have some time to contemplate this is the time to get serious!. Your stall speed depends on your wing loading.
The beeper is the vario to tell you if you're climbing or descending, not sure how this question got misconstrued 😂 so a rising tone means it's feeling a reduced pressure consistent with climbing (in a thermal or other lift) but it isn't generally perfect because pressure can change for many reasons. It's primary purpose is to stop you circling in what you think is a good thermal when you may actually only just be maintaining altitude. Beginner pilots are often discouraged from using instruments so they can develop a feel for good thermals rather than relying on tech. They are very good bits of kit though, essential for higher altitude when reference points are further away, and that setup looks awesome.
Thanks. I read the "what is the "beeping" measuring ... airspeed stall alert ? and though he was referencing the stall alarm at the end of the vid..... ooops (I get asked about the stall alarm a lot)
That sure covers a lot of ground fast, doubt I could successfully land it at 70 years old…. Sure looks fun and brought back a lot of memories

Bad set up, I should have been lower. LZ was very buoyant.
Listening to your vario tone on finals, I think you your descent slowed, maybe some lift at a time you could not use it.

Super gorgeous area to fly. The smoke is a great thing in the LZ, but a bit later turn onto final would seem good.

I know, the story of my life…you can’t get altitude until you come in on final, then you get all kinds of lift! WTF!!!
It never fails! 😉
Thats life though ,,, lol that glider just keeps going . By gods its fast though .

The tractor might have drawn you in on the landing.
I was trying to stay on the level ground, to the right a bit, it slopes down slightly.
Very nicely done Mike as always, great work on the landing , running and maintaining focus.The verbal sounded a bit like myself.
Thank you. I overshot a lot! Glad I did it in a large LZ.
Your next Atos needs to have spoilers. 😜
Yes,! If I get desperate I could toss the drag Chute. I haven't tried that yet .

Not sure what you were cussing for on the landing? Maybe not the best but nothing broken is a good one.
@apaul13150 haha!
nothing , just wasn't happy I was going long.
Beautiful Place, and that glider looks amazing 👍
Very fortunate to have this for the local area flying. Never gets boring/ The Atos is such a pleasure to fly.
No clouds and no lift I mean no clouds means you're not gonna have any lift
Lots of blue days have lift, just harder to find :-)

maybe in time we will get there....
Good stuff!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Do you have airbrakes on this Mike?
@@skyjockbill I do not.
From the videos I've seen, looks like a great extra tool to have. Some days these just don't want to get on the ground ☺️
@@MikeBomstad I thought not, Mike; I'm guessing they make all the difference in a short field. I'm getting a VQ race with air brakes. Hope they help me too!
@@skyjockbill excellent! Congratulations. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts
Wheel landings are awesome
For something designed to land on wheels yes. HG, no. If I couldn't land on my feet, I couldn't go XC. So many fields would not allow a wheel landing.
@@MikeBomstad true! Thanks for your awesome videos
@@ecoturismovalle1570 you're welcome glad you like them. Happy to share them with everyone, so many people don't know the joy of flying
@@MikeBomstad thank God we do
@@ecoturismovalle1570 agreed!
Beautiful video and pics!! Is it cold up that high?
Thank you. Yes it can be very cold. Depending on the time of the year I can easily be below freezing at top of lift
what is the "beeping" measuring ... airspeed stall alert ??
I would have to double-check but I believe it's either 21 or 22 mph, I normally have about 3 seconds before the onset of actual stall which I believe is around 18 19 mph. You want sets higher than stall so you have some time to contemplate this is the time to get serious!.
Your stall speed depends on your wing loading.
Yes, its the stall alarm
@@MikeBomstad seems like a must have safety device ... a great idea.

Interesting design hang glider,new to me.
It is an atos, German made rigid wing. Very good performance has spoilerons and flaps, the tail is adjustable with the flap adjustment

@@MikeBomstad какие же будут отличные характеристики с такой стреловидностью ?
