- Veronica Flying is a glider airfield which is located about 170km south-east of Windhoek. The perfect starting position for huge flights and a beautiful game lodge to relax on the ground. For the accomodation you can choose between cool tents and the most luxurious chalets.
It was Jonathans first fight in Namibia and my first flight with the TwinShark. What an amazing experience!

Absolut kein Problem sich das Video jetzt nochmal anschauen zu müssen ;)
Sorry for the reupload. The export of the video didn´t work flawless: Intro changed and the sound problem is fixed. I hope you enjoy it. Jonathan and I put a lot of effort into this video ;)
That was awesome! Can't believe that cloudbase, just amazing. Loved the drone shots too at the beginning. What's the GoPro mount you have on the canopy? The small size looks perfect
@@PureGlide Thanks mate! I use a self designed and 3D printed suction cup mount for the GoPro, which is also available on my webshop: www.stefly.aero/product/kamerahalterung-fuer-segelflugzeughaube/ Let me know if I should send you one for free ;)
This was such an awesome first flight in Namibia! Thanks for being a great coach and letting me fly so much🙏🏼 Can’t wait for the next videos🤙🏼

(viel eifersucht hier) Much jealousy here!! Jonathan, any relation to Johannes "Macky" Steinhoff?
My pleasure to fly with you!
@@1976husky No relations, at least not that I know🙌🏼
Mir gefallen auch die Kommentare und Erklärungen! Ganz toll!
Vielen Dank 🙏
OMG I'm not even 2 minutes in. The drone footage is absolutely stunning in the intro.
Thanks mate 🙏
@@SteFly 7:50 in and still enjoying it. The dual pilot flying is great! 😍
You know it's a good landing when even the pilot flying can say "like butter!" 🤣
@@TheSoaringChannel Was the first time I did this in a double seater. So much more action and emotions!
@@TheSoaringChannel Not bad for the first landing with this glider, isn´t it? :D
heftiger Typ, geiles Leben, majestätisches Fluggerät. Die pure Flugsucht! xD
Happy day in paradise!! Pipipipipipi!!! The best melody!!!
That's Cumulus heaven!! Fantastic drone shots, your vid are getting better and better!!
Than you so much!!
Hallo ihr beiden, ich gratuliere euch zu diesem super Video! Die Dronenaufnahmen sind mega, echt ein läsiger Film! Weiter so 🤩!!
Danke, Rudi!!
amazing place, amazing flight, amazing glider, amazing pilot.. amazing!!
Hammer Video! Vielen Dank fürs Zeigen und Mitnehmen. War echt super cool!
Amazing video, amazing weather!
Thank you Emil! 🙏
Toller Kanal, sehr inspirierend. Ich bin ernsthaft am überlegen von Gleitschirm zur segelfliegerei zu wechseln.
Mach beides🤣wie ich ! Durchaus komplementär.
Great flight and good teamwork!
The western side of your flight- triangle had more interesting scenery, with the mountains and desert in the distance.
Thanks, Johan! Yes, landscape at the eastern side is not so exciting. But most of the time you look at these amazing big and high cumulus cloud.
@@SteFly That is true. You’re more interested in “The Mountains in the Sky”, because they are the ones that keeps you up there! 🙂
you are the best pilot and very didactic
Eenvoudig geweldig! 'n Droom van 'n vluggebied!
Hi. Nice videos. I work at HPH Saiplanes where you did a report. Very nice. Jirka
Fantastic ride ❤
Thank you!
@@SteFly I love you From Algeria 🇩🇿

A TwinShark vs Arcus comparison video would be interesting. Performance, handling, comfort, etc
add in the ASG 32 as well.............it seems to be winning the major international comps over the last several years....
@@soaruk3697 I had no chance to fly a ASG32.
I will upload a video in the next days about the TwinShark and also say some words in comparison to the Arcus.
Tak.
I am puzzled. Why does one not install a length of spring-steel wire at the wingtips to act as skids for tale-off, so you don't need a wing runner? The wire could fold back when flying so that it offeded minimal drag.
Or one could have a mercury circuit along and within the wing propelled by Flemming's right-hand rule. This would give you gyroscopic stability until you turned it off.
Everything you add is complexity, drag and weight. At some airfields you can also start with the wing on the ground because it has a small wing wheel. When the wings are full of water ballast it´s not the best and safest option..
Awesome vid!
Sweeeeet vid!
Dear Santa, I want one, please... I mean a TwinShark... Übrigens, congrats to Jonathan!
+1 for me ✈
Thank you! I’d take one, too btw🙏🏼
Mantap bang, Indonesia hadir
Awesome video, they're getting better all the time! So: it handles better than an Arcus, did you manage to get a feeling for the performance?
Both gliders handle great. We had no possibility for a direct comparison of the glide performance between Arcus and TwinShark. They should be on a similar level. At the webpages they write 49:1 for the TwinShark and 50:1 for the Arcus. The Arcus has one point more handicap factor at WeGlide and OLC. Sebastian Kawa made a comparison in final glide last year at Veronica and there he said the TwinShark was performing slightly better: 304shark.info/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Sebastian-Kawa-mit-TWIN-SHARK.pdf For such a small difference in performance the only reliable source for a test result would be the IDAFLIEG results.
@@SteFly Thanks for the link!
how does one get your glider to Namibia?
In a container, on a ship - plenty of guys shipping them out there from Germany for the winter season - check the websites in the last few videos for Veronica and Bitterswater they should be able to answer you further. You need a Self Launch Sailplane though...... the conditions are great but tbh gets a bit boring and monotonous - would rather fly in the mountains like the European and New Zealand Alps, Rockies and Andes myself - more challenging and the scenery is so much better unless you are a big desert fan.
@@soaruk3697 Did you fly in Namibia already?
@@SteFly Quite a few years ago.......just a couple of weeks, but prefer flying in the mountains. But it is definitely a place that should be on every glider pilots 'dream bucket list' to visit and experience. You seem to be ticking of a few........ so many great places to soar..
Super! Sprichst du deutsch? Konnte leider den Ton nicht hören, mein Lautsprächer ist kaputt!
Ho do the gliders get there? Are they flown in or brought in by car and trailers from Europe?
What drone r u using?
That´s a question for @jonathan steinhoff. These are FPV drones which are assembled by himself.
And we used my DJI Mavic 2 Zoom for the stable zoom drone shots.
Why you need oxigen ?
👍
🤘🤘

Was machst du beruflich, dass du so rumreisen/rumfliegen kannst? 😂🤔
Die Wölbklappen beim Twin Shark sind ja die größte Fehlkonstruktion des Jahres. Handgelenkkrampf sein Vater.
Der einzige Kritikpunkt ist die hohe Armauflage und evtl. könnte der Hebel noch weiter vorne sein. So schlimm war das aber für mich nicht, da ich die Landestellung kaum verwendet hatte.
Der Flieger ist der Prototyp #1, das Cockpit entspricht nicht der Serienversion. Der WK-Hebel wurde nach vorne versetzt und der Weg verkürzt. Bei einem Doppelsitzer ist die Armauflage halt wegen den Pedalen vom hintern Piloten immer ewas hoch, ist beim ARCUS & Duo nicht anders.
@@jorgspichtig8274 Wow super!
whats up with the tubes? greetings from Denmark
Do you mean the oxygen masks?
@@SteFly aha, i just watched alot of videos but never seen you wear the mask before. :) thanks for the reply tho, love your videos
@@RacerRazz In Namibia we are flying at altitudes up to 6000 m and that´s why we need oxygen there. In Europe I usually fly below 3000 m. Thank you!
@@SteFly thank you, Stefan . Nice learning New things every day 👌
