Robert Adam, one of the organizers of the Green Speed Cup<\/a> in Germany and pilot of the Flight Design CTLS <\/a>that ended the competition in seventh place, shared some information on the challenges faced by pilots in this year\u2019s event.<\/p>\n

\"Winning<\/a>

\u201cWe had 12-15 knots crosswind today (only a little\u00a0less yesterday) and Tim-Peter (-Voss) managed this demanding taildragger (the SPACEK s.r.o. SD-1 microlight<\/a>) calmly!\u201d\u00a0 This very light and short-coupled airplane flies with a variety of two- and four-stroke engines, but Voss\u2019 had a Verner JVC-360 four-stroke unit of 38 horsepower.\u00a0 It averaged a little over four liters per hour fuel consumption per 100 kilometers (59 mpg) over the practice day and two contest days. \u00a0In the Green Flight Challenge, it would have been penalized for being a single-seater and thus having a lower passenger-mile-per-gallon figure than the two, and even four-seat entrants.<\/p>\n

The TDI turbo-diesel DA-40, for instance, would have had a 4X passenger mile per gallon figure if that had been a scoring factor in the GSC as it had been in the GFC.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just completed day two with a 175 statute miles task, again dominated\u00a0by a challenging wind profile with up to 27 knots. The scores are\u00a0online; e-Genius won, SD-1 second, Markus Scherdel (test pilot for Solar Impulse) third.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the late date this year, we had challenging wind tasks, but we\u00a0really miss the thermal factor. This is a fact we will work on next\u00a0year. We will definitely shift the date into the summer months\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Taifun 17E, a retractable gear motorglider, would probably have done well if its engine had not developed a fluid leak and grounded it during the event.<\/p>\n

The video shows Robert Adam and his co-pilot navigating over part of the day one course, flying the Flight Design CTLS.<\/p>\n
