Jerked back on the stick on the rope break, three second delay in reacting to the break and, at most, a 30 degree bank angle on the return (and even then, not until half way through the turn). What if this had been a real break at 200 foot?

Good points, this was my first ever rope break with my instructor and he didn't warn me about it. Considering he never touched the controls and we landed OK I am happy with the outcome. In subsequent tests I flew much better. Thanks for commenting on my first ever video!
