Hey, what's the VNE of that glider?

[patpilotglider]

@nevmx

The glider is a PW-6U

The VNE is 141 Knots best LD is 34 to 1

glide angle does not deteriorate badly until you get over 80 knots

now thats the proper way to launch a glider, all the people who get lanched by planes are lazy

@XXairplanemanXX It looks like an electric winch with a high geared pulley.

@pfeilspitze im sure. i just know some stupid people. one in particular that i can picture making that *exact* noise (esp if on hallucinogenics) xD

[pfeilspitze]

@radzievicius That's the variometer -- Without the beep information the flight would be *much* shorter.
