      At least I am so happy to fly almost the same plane. When my LS3-17 is in 15 meter configuration, winglets attached, it is identical to Stefans LS3 WL. Somehow I don't manage to do that phantastic flights of his.

    An easy list of the great ambassadors of soaring: Stefan, Bruno, and Tim. Awesome video Stefan! I’m hoping to travel by glider this fall with the DG505MB. The back seat would make for lots of storage, or perhaps I’ll bring one of my kids for each leg?

    Is LARUS wind calculation working while towing?

    • @SteFly
      @SteFly  Před 10 měsíci

      Should work ok, especially with the CG hook. But I was asking myself the same when I first saw my footage 😅
      It's called LARUS

    • @LeonBraun
      @LeonBraun Před 10 měsíci

      Right :D Just corrected it.
      I think it's not as good as in soaring conditions. I'm not fully get through the algorithm but in my understanding it needs some circles in gliding condition to get the exact wind and than calculates via IAS, TAS, heading and bearing the wind changes. But maybe some of the developers can clear this up.

      There are cockpit air vents for air conditioning. If it's cold, you better have warm clothing on, especially for the feet.
