Wow your dad flying the tow plane! 😲 . The pointers and pop up maps you put a lot of development in this video. It was pro. You best video yet! The music in the last two minutes combined well with the footage. And finally, the landscape is simply beautiful to look upon. 👍
stefan, love the content. I think it would be a really good addition to have a hand held camera with you to look out of the window and get some nice shots of some of the towns that you fly over and other notable scenery
Watch the Video till the end ;) Unfortunately it is not possible at a record flights like this because flying the glider is already so demanding. There will be other videos with more hand held footage soon. Stay tuned and thanks for your input.
excelent video. I am just getting my glider licence. Did my 11th flight this saturday, and it´s amazing. I got from Private to Multi/IFr/Comercial. Got to be a B-727 F.O., had an LSA for three years and I can say that gliding is the most amazing type of flight i´ve experienced. Towed take off is amazing, towed flight is amazing, gliding is amazing and landing is amazing...
You still fly commercial? Gliders are cool. In the USA soaring is declining in popularity. You really need a self launcher if you want to fly a lot here
`Barry, go for a flight experience flight. I did r/c planes too, but stuff the toy stuff. Anyone can do this and with current apps etc, it's a whole new world with just an ipad.
When you thank the bird for pointing out the thermal haha! The speed up footage is really cool. You can really get a sense of how you use the thermals to get altitude.
Thanks Stefan for sharing these big imperssions with us! Nice flight, nice edit, cool music and helpful comments to also take the paragliding pilots for a ride. Great job. In case your vario missed logging the flight don't worry you fly for the impressions, the scenery, the highs, the lows, discovering and understanding the nature and so much more than OLC points. Took me a while understand that but now even a glide down is cool again:)
Hi David, thank you very much! Yes, you are right. The impressions and experience are the most important aspect of a glider flight. The category of the PowerFlarm was not high enough for record flights and I also made a mistake with the finish line.
@@SteFly Anyway you cleared 3TP, had had quite a low save in the blue, amazing views high under the clouds. Nice flight. For the olc how about a backup like an xc-track on the phone would that be valid for sailpanes? Alternative a small solar powered xc-tracer. Or does it need to be connected to the planes instuments to read if possible engines are switched on?
1022 Km FAI, muy buen vuelo, para recordar para siempre, nosotros en Parapente no podemos llegar tan lejos, pero se lo que se siente estar ahí volando libre como los pájaros con sólo la energía que nos ofrece la naturaleza. Muchas gracias por compartir estos vídeos. Un saludo.

Such a great video. Learnt to glide on Grob 103s as an air cadet out of Swansea Airport in South Wales and spent every weekend on cable tows to 1000 ft and flying circuits. Managed some longer flights and thermaling and managed a 45min flight at one point. Can only dream of what a 10 hr flight must be like! Nerves of steel there and exceptional skill.
Erstmal sehr schönes Video so wie immer. Es ist echt schön zu sehen wie sich dein Kanal entwickelt hat von Anfang bis jetzt. Und du hast immer deine Qualität beibehalten wie noch bei den 5000 Abonenten und wurdest immer besser.
Respekt für den Flug, bin gerade fertig mit meiner Ausbildung und du motivierst mich sehr außerdem fand ich es sehr schön das du die seeyou Datei mit eingespielt hast
Congrats! A FAI 1000k on pure thermals is a great accomplishment. I would like to suggest that you wait a bit to retract the gear; when you do it so low, you increase your possible workload if the rope breaks or the engine coughs. My approach was to wait until pattern altitude to retract, still early in the tow but with plenty of time to deal with an emergency. Unless it was the Open Cirrus with the hitch inside the landing gear :D
Wahnsinn man, ich will endlich auch mein Kindheitstraum erfüllen und das Gleiten lernen, noch muss ich erst etwas abnehmen aber das motiviert nur noch mehr. Wusste nicht wirklich dass man so lange in der Luft bleiben kann, war irgendwie spannender als nen Thriller vor allem als du dann doch etwas tiefer warst. Ich mache mal nen Abo sieht nice aus dein channel PS: Gerade gemert an diesem Tag wo Du so schön geflogen bist, habe ich geheiratet^^
Wonderful video Stefan and congrats on that low save! I had one or two of those when I flew from Utscheid a few years ago, but I was never so close to the ground. Whew!
Congratulations. Could you please add a few more bits of info as you go along - time of launch, evolving height of cloudbase, evolving thermal strengths, tactics you used when it went blue - were you looking for likely thermal sources - factories, urban areas, for example? How far you were able to fly in a straight line "porpoising"? With good wishes for the rest of the season.
I wish u had a little green and yellow circle in the corner during the sped up parts to show if youre ascending or descending. Really love the ascpect of just gliding thru the air being one with the enviroment and nature. Maybe one day. Great videos.
in the uk retracting the gear on tow would be considered very dangerous. you don't want to do anything else but focus on the tow until you release to prevent any chance for tug upset, and you absolutely want to have the gear down if the cable snaps or releases at that height. drag at that time is the least of your concerns. you have a big plane pulling you up and you tend to overtake it anyway.
Outstanding flight and congratulations on an impressive achievement, Stefan! You flew near my current home airfield of Weiden in der Oberpfalz on your first leg, which was nice to see. Great job!
Hi Stefan, I fly gliders in Colombia South America. I have some questions , in long flights like this one do you fill a fly plan ? You talk with ATC, what about crossing air spaces you use USD-B.
Wie ist das gibt man beim Tower seine Flugroute an und kann in dem Bereich frei irgendwo kurbeln um mit der Thermik zu steigen außer nätürlich direkt über anderen Flugplätzen. Was nimmst du zu dir das du die 10h komplett Konzentrieret bist und wie läuft das mit dem Trinken. Da ich mir denke Aussteigen und Pinkeln gehen wird schwer.
Gilders has some kind of toilet installation built in, that allows pilot to pee in flight unless the tank is full. I wouldn’t try to make a 1000 km flight without being sure that this installation works fine.
Nice bet. You're definitely a good glider pilot! I often Ask myself if bug wipers are really usefull till I see your leading edge near the end of the vidéo. Congratulations, nice job! 👍👍👍
Hast du das Geräusch vom E-Vario in XCsoar geändert? bei mir hört sich das anders an, also beim steigen ist der piepton länger als die "lücke", bei dir sind ja beide gleich lang

@@GermanGandalf In Deutschland kann man den Segelflugschein in Vereinen sicher viel günstiger machen, ich sag mal so auf 2 Jahre 1500-2000 €, für Schüler gibt es normal Sondertarife die günstiger sind.

Just great 👍, congratulation!. Long ago I flew a DG400 beside soaring as instructor, but gliders and glider performance never lost the attraction.
Great to watch! Amazing how the glider pilots can even think of flying so high without an engine! You even dont seem to worry a little! Great scenario! But I dont understand how you can raise your altitude?
hats off to the camera guy, filming and playing flute at the same time
Wtf😂😂😂

Ahaha :-D
Dude now i cant stop giggling everytime i hear "the flute"
Sometimes he gets depressed and loses the will, that is when you hear the tone go down an octave :-)

Very cool indeed!
How scared was his mom tho? Lol

As a paraglider pilot, it's always amazing to watch other glider pilots do their thing.

Its an vario it shows us if we are gaining or losing altitude
This is awesome, you're very fortunate. What a wonderful (and yes, stressful at times) way to fly!
That was epic well done! I reckon all exceptional flights have tough bits
Thanks Tim! Yes that's true..
