practice -> Schleicher K7

We bought a 8000€ vintage K7 for more practice in glider flying. Winter was spend for a total checkup. Our third did her glider license 4 weeks ago. The main instrument is a ribbon attached to the antenna. Shows how you are in the air

The old beasts can do things modern high perfomance gliders can't. Highwing design and stiff wooden wings. New ones have middle wings and glasfibre, so ground effect flying is far more riscant. They are only done in controlled practice training for the worst case when rope fails while still in climb and at low height.

GrandGrandpa was a founder of the glider club. He gave some of his acres for 99 years to the club in exchange that each year 2 of his childs, grandchildren, grandgrandchildren can gettraining for free. So it is just the fee for the license testing.

The maneuvre in the video is a possibility for a worst case scenerario. Rope loosens while still not high and fast enough. Diving to gain speed and prevent a stall while doing a 180 degree turn back to field. Stop the dive short of ground and go into ground effect flight. When in stable gound effect climb again to gain height for a normal landing.

With a car it would be car savety training, bursting wheel while at high speed.

 

Hot rod -> Bulldog

We have no hot rod meetings in the area, but tractor meetings. The Lanz Bulldog tractor had no electric ignition. You had to heat a metal rod with a burner before starting the engine. The hot metal reaching into the piston worked like a spark.

Grandgrandpa was a apprentice carpenter as a teen working for August Euler, a german flight pioneer. He learnt flying with 15. When 18 at WW1 he wanted to join airforce but Euler said no, he would be more valuable to do final flight checks before new built planes would be send to the front. Was my luck propably because the average survival time of young pilots at the western front was 8 hours then. After WW1 motorized flying was forbidden in Germany so they started to build gliders. Start of a family tradition. Sadly most of the young glider flyers were later drafted into Nazi airforce. There is a picture from 1928 of 22 teens at a glider, 16 of them were killed in WW2.

 

pattern -> Romanesco Broccoli

 

I like it when nature (and/or cooking) meets maths. The Romanesco is like a fractal with repeating patterns. Each branch nearly a copy of the whole.

et tu, Brute?  -->> Brutus race car

A fun car which looks like an early 1920ties race car. It has a BMW VI flying engine from 1926 with 750 horsepower. Chains are used to drive the wheel. The name Brutus is because the car tries to backstab and kill the driver. No modern savety, just maximum power and technique which was in 1920ties. The most famous flight with a BMW VI was probably in 1930 when a Dornier Wal did a nonstop flight from the baltic sea to New York in east west direction means against the wind
