The plane is SF28 A tandem Falke from Scheibe Fluzeugbau.

It is one of the club's TMG's

Some pictures from today's flight

I had a good flight today.

Winter is here, with snow and short days a,d no heat in the sun. Thermals are out of question, but today I were soaring along a ridge until I hit a wave and could climb well into the TMA of the nearby airport.

Gliding is my main form of flying. Both aerotow and TMG.

FLying the club's SF28 Tandem Falke a lot and love it.

I have a dream about that SF28.

To fly it without canopy and only a windscreen.

There must be something up there..... It is cold but we still choose to go up and freeze rather than being comfy on ground.

Take off in a glider (no heating) in-20C, that is one of the coldest things I have done....

Hello Geirt and !......I`ve had silent flight several times, over the years when the engine stopped turning the prop and I had to do a forced landing!... I really do love silent flight and as I fly from my own property, I still practise dead stick landings, regularly.

 

 

You must get cold! What heat is there to preserve, there?

 

Cheers,

 

Frank.

The great fun is when a stopped propeller does not result in a forced landing.

There is bodyheat to preserve. Get dressed!

With winter coming on in Trondheim how do you activate cabin heat in a glider? Welcome Geirt. Cheers Riley

Here flying an LS-4

outside temperature is about -15C

I love silent flight. One of my clubs operate with TMG and the other one with aerotow.

Both with their unique qualities

The TMWG's are an SF28 tandem falke and and an L13SL Vivat.

the pure gliders ranging from ASK 13 to DG1000

i am also a bit into microlight planes

I am Geir from Norway. Mostly flying gliders and TMG.

Just landed at this forum.
