Oh gosh, suddenly you've reminded me of my schoolfriend Matt Wright, who was a famous CZcamsr and who died in a winch launch failure. He ran a channel called Balleka with some famous videos in it.
I loved watching Ballekas videos!
It's your cool bucket hat that reminded me. I miss that gliding life we had in Zimbabwe. Nowadays I fly F5J and F3K model gliders in competitions instead.@@SteFly
in all do respect... nobody is like Balleka (p .s congratulations Stefan on you success in competition 🎉🎉)
Seems like a joy to fly. Incredible machine and pilot!👏
It is!
Hi Stefan, thank you so much for this wonderful flight !
Thank you for the comment!
Massive congratulations Stefan.
Thank you so much!!
Stefan, fantastic machine and fantastic your flight
Thank you so much!
I would like a video about you decision making at the last day in Pavullo! Congratulations, btw
Great idea! There will be some videos about the SGP final, stay tuned 👍
I just daydream a little seeing this beautiful glider.
It is unique and serene !
독특하고 고요한 제트기입니다
Gratulations Stefan.
Danke!!
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zur Aufnahme in die Hall of Fame 🥳
Vielen Dank!! :)
Красивый полёт! Круто!
Einfach nur fantastisch Stefan
Freut mich :)
the most amazing thing is that you managed to beat all those new 18m gliders with the old ASG29. I have now logged more than 1000 hours on the V3 and the main advantage I see is the incredible safety margin in rough and difficult conditions in the mountains. It also climbs very well in narrow thermals. As long as you dont use it to decrease your margins again.
Well 29's are beating and certainly holding their own with the 'new' generation in quite a few competitions i.e. last 3 US 18m Nationals. (including Uvalde this year). Wonder why anybody bothers paying the extra 100,000 euro it costs for a 'new' generation 18m class glider?
@@soaruk3697 they are willing to pay this because there IS indeed a difference in performance, although subtle. Its like the difference between the V3 sport and V3 performance. Have been flown finals behind Tilo (in his smaller fuselage) and you can indeed see it after a few minutes flying in the same track. In my opinion the ASG29 and V3 Performance are about equal, the JS3, AS33, V3Sport are all 3 about the same and a little bit better if it comes to fully loaded performance. I choose Ventus any time against J3, AS33 and ASG29 because of the much better performance in difficult mountain conditions. And I especially dislike the ASG29 because of the lack of feedback it provides.
@@LSVFlachkurbler Not of enough difference that pilot skill can't make a big difference......... but if you have the money your choice................. for me because it cannot take a larger sized pilot, the small cockpit SH gliders are useless - if I had my way they would be banned from competition.....
@@soaruk3697 as I said, the "Performance" fuselage, identical with the former 2CXM and 2CM is quite large. I also don't fit in the Sport fuselage because of my shoulder width. You can have a significant belly in the small sport fuselage, no problem, but you cant be really large.
@@LSVFlachkurbler Thanks tried the V3S years ago a year after it came on the scene - useless, as I said should be banned...... just like the Diana 2 - designed for underfed midgets... or stick insects......... , If it doesn't pass the Goudriaan test it shouldn't fly in competitions :-)
Amazing!
Nice to see you testing vintage gliders........... ;-) AS33, JS3, V3, or D4 for Uvalde? or G29?
Wie cool, dass Thilo dir den zur Verfügung gestellt hat. Ich nehme an, erst nachdem der Wettbewerb zu Ende war, oder?!
Jedenfalls von mir herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Titel! Das war ja an Spannung nicht zu überbieten am letzten Tag. Ich glaube mit so einem Ergebnis hast du selber nicht gerechnet, nicht wahr?!
Ich freue mich schon auf deine Berichte zum Grand Prix.
Das war vor dem ersten Wertungstag, als neutralisiert wurde wegen dem Wetter, glaube ich zumindest
Wirklich stark von Tilo dass er mir sein Flugzeug vor/ während dem Wettbewerb gegeben hat.
Vielen Dank für die Glückwünsche, damit hatte ich wirklich nicht so richtig gerechnet. Am Ende hatte ich viel Glück, dass die anderen noch mehr Pech hatten 😂
@@nob0dy27_ Korrekt!
That glider really wants to go fast and race!!!
6:38 - das war das A und O eines jeden Gast und Schnupperflugs den mein alter Fluglehrer gemacht hat, zusammen mit der Ansage "Zur Linken sehen sie nun den Himmel und zur Rechten den Boden" :D
Nice racing machine but you still beat it with your 29. Very well done, congrats!
Hahaaa, all the latest 3rd generation 18m gliders are amazing and also the ASG29 is still performing very well.
Excellent video with some amazing camera work , just a pity, not sure why, but you did not show the low pass as filmed from vantage point on the hillside and as shown in your video thumbnail. I was looking forward to seeing this high speed pass. Thanks cheers Paul
Thank you! For the thumbnail we used a picture from an aerotow, not a lowpass. In the next videos you will see the original video from this thumbnail ;)
You said it and it's true, you looked right at home in the "A" model
Damn that glider is a WEAPON!!!
Hi Stefan how would You compare Ventus 3 to Your ASG29 in terms of thermal feeling and in thermal handling? This is much newer project - but is there feeling difference? BTW Congratulations!!!
Ventus 3 is definitely better for the feedback and is more stable/ easier to thermal. However with the ASG29 I feel also much better with the new Larus vario unit, which shows the air movement very quick. Before I was not so happy...
Many thanks for Your really valueable replay - how about AS33 - this one is as modern as Ventus 3 and we could se from previous CZcams video - You had occasion to fly even longer … is it more like 29 or more like Ventus 3 ( in thermal feeling and handling ) ? Many Thanks !!!
Nice video! How would you compare it to the AS 33 or the JS3? How does it compare to your ASG29? How is the feel in thermals? How does it handle? How smooth are the controls compared to these other gliders? Thanks.
The following are my own opinions, but it's hard to judge when not comparing directly at the same day, weeks...
Feeling in thermals: Ventus 3 > JS3 > AS 33, but they are all better than the ASG29.
Forces on the aileron: both Ventus 3 and JS3 are better than AS33; ASG29 is good
Forces on the flaps: JS3 > AS33 >= Ventus 3; ASG29 is good
Ergonomics: AS33 > JS3 > Ventus 3
The CHAMP!!!!
Are those Cockpits UV Resistance, or one has to use Sun Block and always be wearing the hat/cap for cover? Must get super hot in there as well?
Hi. Looks amazing fun. Given the speed you are flying and the fact that other pilots will enjoy ridge running. How do you mitigate the chance of hitting another glider going the other way? Thank you
If you look closely you can see that he has a light on the nose to prevent collision with other gliders
We also have Flarm which is a collision avoidance warning system, the two boxes on the top of the instrument panel show other gliders and warn when you are in proximity / on a likely collision course, giving both visual and audio warnings of direction and distance.
Thanks. Is Flarm compulsory for all gliders
@@guybeardsley1564 Flarm is compulsory for competitions and most of the gliders have one installed. At the end we are not flying IFR, so you must look to the outside of your cockpit. Flarm and other systems are just an aid.
Quantas horas de voo você tem?
I'm sold, I see no reason not to get two!
Only the price 🤣
can you fly to Hamburg Boberg pls?
ps i love your videos.
You´re a crack !!!! Congratulations.........

first 🤭 nice plane Stefan!
Thank you 😀
Stefan, is this your ring tone going off? 11:36
I think they’re having fun with sound effects, Stefan slightly overshoots his final turn hence the reaction :)
we have this guy to thank for that new trend haha: czcams.com/video/R25HSnx2dbA/video.html
@@naturarumyeah I get it. My kids eyes just popped out of their heads though. I wasn't expecting an Alexander style video here. Wish he'd keep it clean.
Is it a small improvement over the Ventus2cx or large as far as handling??
I have flown the Ventus2cxM 8 years ago, so I´m not able to compare it to the V3.
On a rampidge in the fuselidge :oD
nice pow pass 3:09
it was actually surprisingly fun
Kaufvertrag schon unterschrieben? 🙂
Ja, aber nur die Frage für welches 18m Flugzeug? 😂
@@SteFly für jedes Wetter einen dachte ich 🤪
Nice way to get Vitamin - D 😅
6:34 why?? dont make it meme pls
11:38 ahh
Hendrik had the idea and I like it ;)
ah ok
@@SteFlyjust throwing it out there - my kids (not me) eyes popped out of their heads. They didn't expect that here. It's funny sure... Maybe bleep the bad words. The adults will get the joke. IMO I find it more funny when it's bleeped. Ahhh what the *. LoL whatever. Your channel obviously. You do you. Just humbly offering that a 13 year and 11 year old had their hands on their mouths in disbelief. They hear the words in various places.
Respectfully - your channel has such incredible content that it doesn't NEED the other fluff. Have fun with it. Just saying man. I hope you know I'm not trying to tell you what to do. That's not my business. But I'll have to screen every video before the kids watch from now on and that's a shame.
Sergeant Buzzkill signing off 😂
LOL @ 11:30!

get rid of that gas engine!!!
Fuselage wird Fjuselaasch und nicht Fuselitsch ausgesprochen - Dein Pseudoenglisch nervt bisweilen...
