Im surprised at how much stress those huge wings can take.

[@Thinkflite]

Lots of interia relief in glider wings

[@weatheranddarkness]

They're also very small for glider wings actually.

[@Bvr223]

There not going that fast so there not really taking so much stress

[@mcyounglordlauch7012]

I guess like 8 gs, my glider (ASK 21) can take 6 gs but its like more a proper glider

[@pilot3016]

Sailplanes are very strong, far beyond the standard G.A. level for the typical light plane.

[@RamyRC]

he is the best

Maybe I should start drinking RedBull. Then my life would be this awesome too!

Amazing flying considering no power to pull you thru those tricks. Incredible strength in the glider. Awesome.

I totally agree

And alll to most aerobatic Gliders come from Poland.

You should try it!! I did and love it. I can go rent a glider and fly all day. It is a great sport!!

[@amperzand9162]

On Earth, yes. But imagine what one can do off of it!

[@simoncheung2573]

Im more impressed on how good the plane is.

[@Francois_Dupont]

i would think the plane is garbage after that. pushing an airframe to the limit like that normally need to have the whole plane re-certified.

[@andreachinaglia5804]

@@Francois_Dupont it is a glider built for aerobatics, not a regular one designed for cross country. Probably it is a MDM MDM-1 Fox as it is a 2 seater, its g limits are +9.0/-6.0 (one occupant), +7.0/-5.0 (two occupants), much higher then the ones of a regular one. Aerobatic gliders have an accelerometer that signals if the g limit has been exceeded, which is not the case in a normal aerobatic routine, no need to have the plane recertified every time you perform aerobatics. 😉

[@Francois_Dupont]

@@andreachinaglia5804 wow! thank you very much for the extra information! i didnt know they had a dedicated meter that logged if anything exceeding the rated limit was reached.

[@ZhihengCao]

what kind of smoke generator is used?

[@johnb4183]

Do they ever tear the wings off these gliders, wow!

[@josephinebennington7247]

Having been reading instructions on managing an incipient spin/stall etc for novices, and not detracting from the immense skill here, is the pilot’s skill basically an intimate feel for the plane’s attitude and effect on his controls, then applying these those rules, or something even more advanced….and if so what else? Thank you to anyone who can help.

[@lucbrunner1331]

You draw a line for the stick movement on a paper and then follow this pattern with the stick I think

[@josephinebennington7247]

@@lucbrunner1331 You think? Hmmmm. I was hoping for someone that knows. The pilots don’t seem to be studying a diagram as they whirl about the sky.

[@weatheranddarkness]

@@josephinebennington7247 That's a terrible way to fly deep into a stall. You need to feel the loads on both sides of all of your surfaces and integrate that with the g forces on your body. Planes like this also have 1- a lot more control authority than average (bigger control surfaces with more deflection available) 2- a huge amount of reserve lift available. Your average, non aerobatic aircraft has its primary lift surface vertically offset from its CoG, which adds off-axis forces when you're in a stall, making recapture more awkward and potentially unintuitive.

[@josephinebennington7247]

@@weatheranddarkness What do you mean by a terrible way to fly deep into a stall? Me or the pilot in the vid? I’m not a pilot. I’m trying to understand.

[@weatheranddarkness]

@@josephinebennington7247 I mean that attempting to fly into, through, and then out of a stall would not be something you could really do 'by the book' so to speak, you have to have a feel for it, and for good controlled behaviour like in the video you need a plane designed such that it has a good amount of its surface area that can change shape allowing some measure of actual influence over the plane's movement even when you're at very low speeds or when the airflow is not moving across the airframe in the usual direction.

So the sound of the aircraft talks to us does it? So cut the music and explain the changing noises. Or just cut the confounded music anyway.

[@PK-ct1bm]

Too fast cuts in the video, glider flying is most of all a calm and majestic procedure. My2cents. Apart of the bad video, surely a great pilot!

[@javierjunes8614]

Where is the motor ?

[@GSXRcschlack]

its a glider which is towed in and then released by a real plane

[@jmelech]

***** Can be catapult launched and then altitude gained using thermals or other methods. I've got a video on my channel demonstrating ridge lift

[@GSXRcschlack]

***** Never knew that, good to know. I have only seen gliders which were towed in. I through hiked the AT last year and in PA there were hang gliders taking off from a gap and there was also gliders which the gentleman told me that they were towed in from a local airport and just cruising the thermals as you said. Cheers

No engine its a glider

[@cup_and_cone]

I Iike how he wears a parachute... Just in case...

[@cup_and_cone]

***** Thanks - just did some research and apparently UK and a few other European countries require parachutes for different aircraft registrations. I didn't know that. Here in America the FAA doesn't require it.

[@markusmichallok7185]

thechosendude It's illegal to do aerobatics without a parachute. But you can fly a glider normally without one. But most people wear one tho. Just in case. I couldn't fly without one. That would feel weird. Kinda like riding in a car unbuckled.

[@romancenturion8]

***** lol no only aerbatic glider pilots require parachutes.

[@eltacogrande2]

thechosendude The FAA requires you wear a parachute if you're going to be banking an aircraft at or more than 30 degrees. which with those tricks he is.

God I wouldn't dare do those things with a powerplant, much less in a friggin glider. Crazy that the dude is killing so much altitude for tricks.

You just have to keep that runway within striking distance or know where you can land out. The gliders come apart and can be put in a trailer to get it back home.
