  • Grand Prix racing at its best! At the last competition day we finally had Bora wind, which is perfect to fly ridges in the Livno area. It was a very exciting race and at the end I was high enough to win the race. Special thanks to Aeroclub Livno for hosting this perfectly organised event! I will come back flying in this wonderful landscape again, that´s for sure ;-)
    A huge thanks to my sponsors, which will allow me to produce more flying videos this year. So take a minute and check out their pages and you will also get a little bit of discount when using my coupon codes (and I will also get a small kickback).

    Would you be able to make an emergency "crash" landing with a glider on a calm lake? If there was only woodlands around😥. And no other way to touch down, safely? Or would your glider wings break, on impact and force your cockpit/plane cabin to nosedive or tumble?

      Well i still think that the term endurance race would perfectly describe it. Racing on the edge with minimum energy usage is what one would describe as the 24h of Le Mans race (these races usually not only account for efficient use of fuel but also for car reliability and for car performance).

      @tonynikon 4 роки тому

    • @ybliga
      @ybliga 4 роки тому +1

      I suspect you are incorrect. Many of the high performance sailplanes employ flaps to give optimum L/D ratio dependent upon airspeed. The airbrake would only normally be used for landing or to assist with descent. Flaps are to optimise glide performance and this is why the pilot is constantly altering their position subject to airspeed

    • @warrenmassey4029
      @warrenmassey4029 3 роки тому

      @@ybliga Guys, on flapped gliders there is an optimum speed setting with the flaps so as to reduce the induced drag of the wing profile. The faster you fly the more lift and induced drag and so by using negative flaps you reduce the lift but also the drag therefore increasing speed.

The main ballast tanks in the wings are in front of the CoG (for structural reasons), so filling them makes the glider nose heavy. To compensate for this, weight in the tail is used. But then dumping only the main ballast would make the glider tail-heavy, which is a dangerous configuration, so the tail ballast must be dumped as well, hence the use of water rather than fixed weights.

      You can get used ones for a lot less though. The Standard Libelle is a beautiful plane from the 70ies which will put you back ~€12-15k (can be more depending on accessories). You get an awful lot of bang for your buck there. Until not too recently Stefan was posting videos in a Libelle but I think he sold it to upgrade to an ASG-29 (which is a top performing glider as you could see).
