  • Alisport allowed us to try the SIlent 2 electro for a week to fly it before the 1st FAI 13.5m class World Gliding Championships (Pociunai , Lithuania 2015) . We flew the Silent2 over St Auban in the French Alps.

    Beautiful terrain, catching thermals. Doing away with the towplane just adds to the freedom of a glider. Enjoy. Thanks.

    Great aircraft and exciting video but the whole point of a sailplane is if there's any noise, it's just the wind. Kill the music

    A question, with an electric propulsion system available upon demand. I wounder if a pilot operating such a flight vehicle which by characteristics is to be a glider. I wounder if pilots have a tendency to take extraordinary chances knowing this form of propulsion is available to them upon demand. Verse a pilot flying a glider which does not have a self propulsion system.

    • @rcbif101
      @rcbif101 Před 6 lety +2

      A smart glider pilot would use it for launch only, cause as soon as you rely on it....the motors gonna fail.

    Nice video. How long must the runway be for a safe takeoff?
    How long does it take to charge the batteries?

    • @AntoineHavetGliding
      @AntoineHavetGliding  Před 5 lety

      I don't remember, but as you can see, you can T/O from very short runways.. basically you will recharge the batteries the night before the flight.. so I would say between 2 and 8h.. haha

    • @JeffreyOsb
      @JeffreyOsb Před 4 lety

      @reverse thrust They were only given the glider to test on a flight. They wouldn't really have those details. The glider designer, Alisport would.

  • @frandelo

    I wonder if there's anyway to recharge battery when flying by leaving open the propeller.

    • @edojap
      @edojap Před 6 lety

      Francisco M. Del Castillo S. Exactly what i think about when watching electric glider videos, also it would be awesome to have some kind of recharging from the trailer which you transport the glider on, with the spinning of its wheels on a highway/road.

    • @AntoineHavetGliding
      @AntoineHavetGliding  Před 5 lety +2

      This is not possible for several reasons. First of all, if you let the propeller running, there would be a massive "airbrakes" effect which would significantly drop the L/D ratio. Secondly, your igc file would consider that your motor is running, which means you "outlanded". This is a good idea if you want a motorglider for fun, but that's it.

    • @JohnFHendry
      @JohnFHendry Před 5 lety +1

      @@AntoineHavetGliding I'll take a motor glider for fun any day of the week;-) Was in CZ to buy the last M17 wood motor glider with all kinds of spares parts including manufacturing tools but 911 happened so shipping it to the USA then was not going to happen, and then got in a lawsuit with an HOA and exposed the corruption attorneys in the US rely on so never made it back over there as I expected to do. Nice to see a a full scale electric glider.

    • @AntoineHavetGliding
      @AntoineHavetGliding  Před 9 lety +1

      The Pilot Salut ! En effet, c'est un option proposée par Alisport. Néanmoins, j'ai eu du mal à m'installer lors de mon premier vol et il a fallu que je retire la casquette pour les suivants. C'était bien mieux ! Mes genoux touchaient la casquette car les palonniers ne pouvaient pas se bloquer jusqu'au bout.

    This is an aircraft I'm interested in. I started to watch it expecting, firstly, prop and motor in-flight sound and flight characteristics. .. So unfortunately, when the usual musac took over and the video sped up, .... lost me there. It could have been good?

    • @AntoineHavetGliding
      @AntoineHavetGliding  Před 7 lety

      Are you interested in a 2h flight video on this channel ? I may upload it. Nevertheless, this glider is now outdated in my opinion, and I would rather advise you to check out the GP14 Velo or even a Discus 2 which is now available with the FES system. Best regards, Antoine

    • @AntoineHavetGliding
      @AntoineHavetGliding  Před 5 lety

      Sorry for that ! It is a good but expensive glider. You should check out all the new gliders equiped with the FES system to have your answer ! :)

  • @MrDanielMUC
    @MrDanielMUC Před 6 lety +2

    You need to learn proper stall recovery: PITCH->(POWER)->BANK. Not Pitch+Bank at once. Putting the stick in the front left/right corner (as shown at 3:40) is how you roll an airplane inverted. Nothing you want to do at a low altitude stall. At slow flight, always keep wings level with rudder only!

    • @AntoineHavetGliding
      @AntoineHavetGliding  Před 6 lety +1

      MrDanielMUC it has been corrected now, hopefully learnt that before my CPL ;) Thanks for the comment and good flights !

      basic training with st Yan method in french ALAT 1969. Roulis induit.
      These plane are pure jewels. I have a great respect for the men who make this possible and the builder of those marvels.

    • @AntoineHavetGliding
      @AntoineHavetGliding  Před 5 lety

      This is true as well. And it is a good thing to do in my opinion, to test the unexpected. Just imagine someone is not using the proper stall recovery manoeuvre. Here you can see that the glider still react in a positive and safe manner and that everyone can fly it.
