Good morning from Washington state USA, im watching your videos on my smart TV it's very useful im looking for to buy or making one in the future and I subscribed your channel already thanks and have a wonderful day and takecare, see you next video. 👍👍
Cool vid! Yah, I experience this exactly with my eXenos as well. Normal climb rate is ~400ft/min, but I can average 800 or more if I climb under power while in a thermal. E-soaring is cool 'cause you get to manage 2 sources of energy, thermals and your battery, and there's some interesting strategy in how you combine them! Have you seen Greg Cole's awesome presentation on regenerative soaring? th-cam.com/video/ijDvXUaC0_M/w-d-xo.html
I had not seen that presentation. Thanks for pointing me to it. As you say, combining the energy from convective lift with the electric drive train output is just a matter of figuring out when it is productive and when it is not. Regeneration can be enabled on the Geiger system, however I don't think I can do it with a folding prop, and at 30-35 kts I don't know how much power it can generate. I have had motor units with clutches and no prop brake that were like flying with a drag chute with the motor off and my concern would be that regeneration from the prop would degrade the L/D significantly. The conditions on this day seemed suitable for a technique known as dynamic soaring, which I don't believe anyone has explored with trikes yet.
On a six foot boom extended from the rear of the keel tube. A properly aligned 360 camera will make the boom disappear like magic. The wide angle lens adds to the effect.
@@mikedillonhaswings I'm in Virginia. Plenty of WSC instructors here, but wasn't sure if specialized training was necessary for the ANT-E specifically.

Where is camera ??
On a six foot boom extended from the rear of the keel tube. A properly aligned 360 camera will make the boom disappear like magic. The wide angle lens adds to the effect.
Where and how does one learn to fly one of these?
Look for a weight shift control certified flight instructor (WSC-CFI) in your area. Where are you located?

It flys just like any other Part-103 trike.
