No ballast - usually the glider climbs nicely with close to 4 m/s in the initial climb. Difficult to see if the pilot selects a little higher rotation speed than usual, since it is his first takeoff on the type.
The AS34ME gets out of Schleicher's 425m strip ok... th-cam.com/video/aA99aJ0F7DA/w-d-xo.html What's the empty weight of the AS34ME in 'real life'? - hazard a geuss at 420kgs plus before the pilot gets in? The JS3RES is just shy of 400 Kg empty.......
The takeoff was not very good for a paved runway. Was that ballasted or dry?
