10 Hours Endurance Racing | My First 1000 KM FAI Triangle Glider Flight

- It is a big dream and a huge challenge to fly a declared 1000 km FAI triangle with a 18 m sailplane in Germany. The weather forecast and the weather conditions must be perfect and you are not allowed to make any bigger mistakes during 10+ hours. I nearly made an outlanding after 800 km...
A huge THANKS to my father for the aero tow and my brother for the ground support!

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 :-)
Your dad was flying your tow...how cool is that?
Very cool indeed!
How scared was his mom tho? Lol
@@125Addicted my mom is literally erverytime scared when i fly lmao
Read as Craig Federighi
@@User46038 when I go paragliding, my mom always says "break a leg" or "break a neck", which has the meaning of "good luck "in my language lmao
haha “thank you bird” lol 😂
Du bist deutscher oder ?
@Chandra 7.6 indo nyasar
@@insani4047 lah elu sendiri yg gk jelas
@@jejekk5880 siapa bilang gk jelas?
@@jejekk5880 w cuma bilang ada indo nyasar lagian itu bercanda ae
Thanks for the metric info, no fees foots knots football field/hrs. Just clean and understandable metres
Ich habe direkt am Anfang durch deinen Akzent gemerkt dass du ein deutscher sein musst 😂
As a paraglider pilot, it's always amazing to watch other glider pilots do their thing.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu den gelungenen 1000 Km. Das muss ein super Gefühl sein. Mach weiter so. Man kann so viel von dir lernen
Congratulations Stefan! This is a tremendous achievement worth celebrating!
Thanks Nicholas!
Поздравляю с первым маршрутом в 1000 км!!! Желаю успешного покорения дальнейших рубежей!!! Прекрасный полет. Благодарю за ролик. Всех благ и дальнейших успехов!!!
Wow als dein dad dir schönen flug gewünscht hat, hats mich sehr glücklich gemacht :)
Please post the whole thing! I love putting videos like this on for the ambience, the longer-running the better.
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.
Stefan Langer Maybe have more cams so you can edit the best of the panorama :)
Incredible to see that it is possible to stay that long up in the air !
Like in the end :)
I fly hand gliders, so for me, what you´re doing here just seems incredible. Great flying, great flight, and well documented! Very exciting...
`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.
Congrats, Stefan. Very envious.
Hi Stefan, mit dem Video wird es ein schöner Start in den Tag. Danke.
Ein sehr schöner Flug, und ein wahnsinns video. Hat viel Spaß gemacht es anzuschauen :)
This is awesome, you're very fortunate. What a wonderful (and yes, stressful at times) way to fly!
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
Mega gutes Video und herzlichen Glückwunsch zum 1000er 🎉
Freut mich, vielen Dank! :)
I always marveled at the skills of glider pilots who can fly long distances without an engine!👍 Thanks for video ! ❤
Amazing flight and great video. Love the timelapse parts where you can see the clouds build up in front of you. Also the animations were very nice :)
Thank you!
Lovely to watch you enjoy nature with no fuel
never new these things existed but wow this is amazing and honestly takes alot of balls to be in one
Glückwunsch. Toller Flug und sehr schönes informatives Video.
Vielen Dank, das freut mich zu hören!
10h... I want to go 3 times to toilet...
That's what empty drink bottles are for.
They use diaper
They use diapers
Pampers?
@@EkoEllutionist At least men don't. Either plastic bags for the freezer and then dump them, bags filled with absorbent diaper material, or some even have a small funnel and a hose going out of the plane
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?
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.
Epic fly!! 1000km??!! Awesome!
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. 👍
Thank you so much! 😃
Could you share name of the music in the last two minutes if you know it? Thank you!
Well done! Great flying.
Just awesome 😎. Give my heartiest regards to your dad.
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.
Saludos! De donde están? :)
Amazing fly and amazing video. Thanks!
Klasse! Ein tolles Video.
Fantástico video! Muchas gracias!
Congratulations!
thank you for sharing such a great experience!
Awesome video and high quality production with additional map info and explanations, thanks much appreciated! Awesome adventure
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!
Hey cooles Video! Möchte nun auch mit dem Segelfliegen beginnen, fasziniert mich absolut! Gute Flüge wünsche ich weiterhin!! 😎👍
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.
Love your videos, great job!
Very nice indeed. I thoroughly enjoyed that. Well done.
Wow, very cool! Well done!
Super flight, awesome!
Thanks mate!
Well done Stefan!!
Thanky Hugo!!
Wow, for me, sitting in one place with minimal movement for 10hrs is a huge achievement in itself.
i'm so confused how they pick which comment is showed when you click on the video it's the dude with 2 likes not the one with 900
@@filthycasual8074 I think it depends on the person viewing video. Have we interacted on CZcams before?
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.
Dankeschön! Das freut mich!
That's like the best way to spend 10 hours, using free energy to fly !
Solar powered airplanes are like this one are very relaxing.
@@nocare its not solar powered
@@Aaron-zn8mg Sun heats the air, rising air lifts the glider.
Thats solar power lol.
It's not solar photovoltaic powered.
@@nocare yeah that is a thermal. Doesn't mean the plane is solar powered
@@Aaron-zn8mg The energy used for flight is directly from the sun. It's not converted to chemical, potential or electrical storage to be used to power flight at a displaced location and time.
The energy is directly captured at the time of flight.
To specify an energy source conveys information. That's the only purpose of communication after all.
Gliders are directly powered by the sun. As opposed to indirectly powered by the sun (fossil fuels).
Das ist sooo schön zuzusehen
1000kms FAI triangle in Europe! My hat off to you!
Well done Stefan, another great video for XC training.
Congratulations Stefan for your achivement! :) Great job! :)
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^^
Nette Erklärungen nebenbei 👏🏻👌🏻
Respect!
You are a very good pilot 👍👍
My first time watching 1 of these videos, pretty interesting, lots of distance covered by good skills& good equiptment, nice job my freind, i'm seriously awed & impressed, i'm no stranger to flying.
That was amaising!
Ich hätte damals den Segelschein machen sollen, einfach Klasse was ihr macht👍
This is my dream. 👏👍🦅
Ist das geil ein Segelflug-Video über dem Flugplatz zu sehen, wo man am Samstag wieder zum Fliegen hingeht :)
Um welchen Flugplatz geht es? :D
Da fiebert man sogar als Zuschauer mit, beim Teil mit 250m über dem Wald! Schöner Flug!
smoothest landing i ever seen
moc pěkné,za poslední rameno klobouk dolů =)
Wow, you had me looking for a field over that forest
That was epic well done! I reckon all exceptional flights have tough bits
Thanks Tim! Yes that's true..
U made it! I really admire your skills.
Очень красиво! Большое спасибо!
Nice fly 👍
You are the best glider pilote 😉🛩️
Magnificent
Great video. Not too knowledgeable about gliders but damn, that’s amazing distance
661 - Amazing! Congratulations Stefan!!! Super!!!
Thank you!!
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
I love this
Vraiment génial !!!
This is fantastic, such amazing experience, love it thanks for sharing, keep safe my friend 🙏💕
Wow... Das ist voll cool von deinem Dad😍 Ist sind so kleine Sachen die es einfach ausmachen✌🏼Ich bin zwar erst 16 aber so ein Vater will ich auch mal sein👍🏼
megaaaaaa nice long flight :-)
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!
Thank you!! I had an airfield around me for a safe landing ;)
Was für eine coole Familie hast du 😍
Supercool!
VERY NICE
good job Stefan ! Well deserved congratulations !!!
Enjoyed a lot ... that was a very tough low save :-)
I was really happy to get a thermal there. Thank you! :-)
Wow nice landing
Niice I didn't know a glider could fly for so long
congrats ! mission done !
2022 watched, well done!! Nice speed up footage. Good conditions and good glider.
Nice cover bro 😎👍🏼
Hi from New Zealand near Raglan, well done Stefan, not the easiest day, so that was in my book a noteworthy and meritorious flight! :)
Thank you! :)
Its very interesting watching you fly over terain that my family farmed for multiple generations..Have to make a visit..
Liebe Grüße aus dem Südsteiermark 🇦🇹💜
Mach weiter so! 👏🏾😎☀️
sehr gut
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
Das freut mich sehr!
@@SteFly kannst du vielleicht mal ein video zur Flugvorbereitung machen weil wie ich finde hat man nie so nh "Liste" die man abarbeiten kann
spectacular. Wish i could have a license and money also to get a glider. You got the best feeling ever :)
Bro i love this id thank you for that bro from morocco kingdom
Hi Stefan, congratulation for the flying skills and nerves! ;) Super flight, greatly filmed!
Thank you! ;)
Amazing.....
