  • Follow us on our gliding adventure as we push the limits and strive to break the distance record by gliding across the sea from Denmark to Sweden.
    After covering 840 km and spending 9 hours in the air, we returned to Denmark.

    Must have been nice to have the motor in the back.

    Great. As you had 20 minutes discussion with ATC Sweden during the flight, would you next time contact them some time beforehand to avoid this while flying?

    • @FlyWithMinik

      Yes, we will call them next time. But we will also try to avoid that airspace next time.

    small float on the sea and line up to glider that moves up like a kite and backwards cos float moves but has some resistance too from the water...could work

    In this form, the video is not informative. What altitude did you start from, what distance did you glide and what altitude were you when you arrived in Sweden? Thanks.

    Så er det en tur over til Norge fra Skagen næste gang :-) Fra 20.000 ft. omkring 5.500 meter. Det skulle give omkring 5 x 50 kilometer, som 250 kilometer glid :-) Eller 25.000 ft 7.000 meter, over Nordsøen til England, 7 x 50 km = 350 km. ?

    Impressing ! Do you have flight track ? I'm interested to see it ;)

    • @FlyWithMinik
      @FlyWithMinik  Рік тому +2

      Yes, the track is available in the article in Nordic Gliding Magazine nordicgliding-com.translate.goog/havkrydser-med-flaps/?_x_tr_sl=da&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=da&fbclid=PAAaavkVHsbVOKlch6-

    Nice filming, nice Arcus M, but not sure what the record was? As a motor glider and they could have self launched, flown across the sea climbing and gliding both ways with no aerotow necessary.

    • @FlyWithMinik
      @FlyWithMinik  Рік тому +2

      The distance from the takeoff destination to the starting point of the task, is far beyond the range of a selflaunch glider, when we need to keep a fuel reserve for safety reasons. The safe release altitude is 13.000'.

    wait, did both you and the towplane drop the rope at 1:08? Was it too risky for Dimona to descend with the rope?

    • @FlyWithMinik
      @FlyWithMinik  Рік тому +2

      We released from the tow rope in the glider 🙂 The tow plane can retract the rope with an electric winch inside the plane.

    Your glider is registered in Germany, and it's a powered glider, I could tell this from the registration number in the dashboard.
    But you don't say anything about the flight path. And what language are you using in the cockpit? It's not German.

    • @FlyWithMinik
      @FlyWithMinik  11 місяців тому

      We speak Danish in the cockpit. The flight path is available in the article in Nordic Gliding Magazine: nordicgliding-com.translate.goog/havkrydser-med-flaps/?_x_tr_sl=da&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=da&fbclid=PAAaavkVHsbVOKlch6-wwcA5slg0vkZs-Z5KWW9TBoNBziWuytQiE7O6NvNP8
