I realize that what I am about to type is not exactly totally On-Subject, But i want to show the type of Flying that i have done, and hopefully will do. While Aerobatics are not pursued by that Many Pilots, mever the less. Performing Aerobatics is an aspect of Flying that some Pilots pursue. John is living, walking around proof that if as Pilot takes a m rthodical, gradual, thoughtful approach to doing Aerobatics. Looping a Glider can be an extremely rewarding, safe endeavor. In the words pf Tex Johnston The Aircraft has no idea that it is upside down. Just as a Hang Glider has no idea that it is upside down when the Pilot performs a loop. I have gone over the top really close to being 180. But as that old saying says; "Close but No Cigar". Yes OI Fully intend on one Day doing a Hundred and Eighty degree Wing-Over. I know that I will be bugging John in order that He will help Me to Become a Predator Pilot who loops His Glider nice and Smooth. Yes I know that one can do some Very Steep Wing-overs, thus by managing Pitch in a thoughtful Smooth manner, One can loop a Predator in order that Your Hang Strap remains taught, no Fuss, No Mus. John I am ready to learn the Finer Points of doping Aerobatics. Yes when You and I get together, I will be all Ears. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaA7kPfC5Hk . |
