In and out of TROUBLE with FES, twice! | Schempp-Hirth Discus 2c FES

I had the pleasure to test the wonderful Schempp-Hirth Discus 2c FES from Hahnweide lately. The FES, for Front Electric Sustainer, is an electricly powered propellor at the nose of the glider. The operation, as you can see, is very and quick and can help you out of trouble. In this video you'll see two instances where a bit of FES-ing helped my to another thermal.
Let me know what video's you think I should do next!

Fearless flying

Geil Porta!

I wonder when they are going to find an aerodynamically better solution than having the FES blades lying on the front of the fuselage. For the average of 1x per year where I need my engine during flight I can still live with the 15 seconds it takes to get out the self launch engine of my Ventus 3M.
