Thank you so much! Yes, a big surprise in many ways.
Incredible footage, and congrats on the win! Really enjoyed the commentary explaining each race day, super fascinating. Definitely intrigued to learn more about the FAI Sailplane Grand Prix and sailplane racing
What an exciting competition and you won it! Well done Stefan! 👍 Good to see that you also appreciate everyone that helped you along the way, that makes you a deserving winner. 🤩
Well done Stefan, both for winning and for the sportsmanship and humanity you embody
Dear Stefan! I felt so uplifted by your win; you’re such a nice fellow bringing us all so lovely videos on pure gliding, it was a perfect reward for all your years of hard work - well done my friend. 🎉🎉 Keep on smiling, and bring us all joy with each of your new videos. Thank you, and congratulations - you deserved this win 🥳 👏👏👏
That’s amazing Stephan!! I’ve been following you since you hung out with Juliette Sierra and your flying and videos just get better and better. That’s a lot of hard work and dedication. Well done.
Stefan congratulations brother what an amazing win!!! I am so happy for you and hope you continue to do well as you continue in your gliding endeavours. When you talk about making a mistake and then you worry and work so hard to make up for it, then you hear about and realize that the other competitors make mistakes as well it reminds me of a quick saying. If your in Africa and you are with another person and are being chased by a man eating lion, just remember you don't need to be the fastest runner in the world, you just need to be faster than the other guy!!! Good luck in your next adventure and having come from a family heavily involved in aviation and gliding, please be safe in all you do. Take care!!! Tom
Great video and recap my friend. Congrats on the great flying, strategy, and winning!
Greetings Stefan, fantastic display and application of the 'soft skill' competencies.
Fantastic! Congrats Stefan!
Nochmals herzliche Gratulation! Nicht zu vergessen, dass du so nebenbei auch immer gefilmt und kommentiert hast. Das hat es meines Wissens noch nicht gegeben. Bravo!
Congratulations! Amazing achievement!
Congratulations Stefan. Well done.😊
Congratulations Stefan! You are a big inspiration for many.

That's awesome, congrats. Your videos is what inspired me to learn how to fly a sailplane and I'm excited to get rolling with it. Moving to Italy next year and want to do a lot of flying there. Hope to meet you one day in that area in the future.
Congrat Stefan, well deserved!
So cooler Canal. Bin schon lange Abonnent, aber Drachenflieger. Find das Race-Konzept richtig cool. Simpel und spannend. Und du hasts wieder einmal perfekt erklärt. Und natürlich: Gratulation!
Many congratulations! Especially to do that as one of the only ones without a backup motor. Well done!
CONGRATULATIONS! GREAT JOB! WELL DONE!
Thanks for this excellent video - I appreciate your humbleness in your presentation here...
Congratulations. Best of luck. You're the best flyer in this world.❤
Congrats, Stefan! I've followed the KZread stream during all competition, but what it's great of your channel is that I have the pilot's perspective, what the stream couldn't provide.

Thank you very much. I agree, real footage would be important in the live stream aswell. Even if these are only some pictures from time to time out of the cockpits.
Good job keeping your flaps negative, and your attitude positive! 😆 Congrats on your victory Stefan!
Congratulations! Awesome piloting!!!

You mention the Larus variometer favorably at about 5:05: "I pulled up even harder than you are used to with an 18m glider... because I _knew_ there was lift because of my variometer..." Can you please make a video showing your installation and how you use it in flight? I think many pilots would like to understand this tech better. Thank you.
What is youre Yoke caled
Milan said you looking for a 29e for Omarama I could do a glider swap and congratulations
What software are you using to visualise the tasks with tp cylinders and everything?
@SteFly
9 ай бұрын
The software in flight which I use on my SteFly Nav is called XCSoar (OpenSoar). For visualizing the live stream they are using Silentwings and for analyzing the flight I use WeGlide ;)

Just had a look at the results and it looks like you were tied on points with Erik Borgmann. What were the rules of how the tie was broken? Was it average position or best position (i.e. your win on day 1) or total flying time?
@mumblecake251

Forgot the totally obvious: massive congratulations!!! I always half expected you to win big but I assumed it would be in 10-15 years with loads more experience. Unbelievable performance and that final point to actually win was totally clutch. 10s slower in race 4 and you wouldn't have got that point and Erik would have won. Total nail biter (in hindsight) ... probably a good thing that you didn't know how close it was at the time!
Stefan You won the first prize only because I don't fly sailplanes. I work on construction instead...
Hello

Bad luck you miss one good thermal , you loose . To much luck for my taste .
Wenn ein Deutscher nur englisch spricht, find ich zum kotzen.
Si può guidare con la patente B? Quanto ci metti Palermo Milano?
