Aerobatic flight taken by my student pilot. I'm flying from the rear seat

A very happy student pilot gets an aerobatic demonstration flight in an ASK21 glider during a gliding course. All flying is done from the rear seat.

Awesome video! This was a good aerobatic flight! Congratulation to the student pilot 😉

One of my first instructors were an Eurofighter pilot (JG 71 Richthofen). On our second flight he showed me his interpretation of "having fun" in the air and pulled almost 4 G. No, not my cup of tea... :-)

so cool

Cockpits need a hoover Webby!

There is a tendency to discover that when doing negative G stuff. I remember my instructor demonstrating the amount of force needed to avoid stalling during an engine failure right after takeoff, and we discovered noone had vacuumed out the thing in a while. Gravel, grass clippings, a pen, etc, comes flying... I never finished my license, so I haven't had a chance to experience it since though.

Nice flying.. I am a piston pilot, so dislike the slow roll and quick acceleration with gliders in the vertical IS the proper way to learn to fly - the stick controls speed; engine controls rate of descent. I built/flew aerobat C-IAVW, 6,000+ rivets. CAVU skies!

thanks for watching. I've never tried power aeros, so am used to glider rates of roll/acceleration. I have a friend who is a power aerobatic pilot, I must get a ride with him one day.

@@webbevents Glider roll rates slow with those long wings. My biplane would roll 360 in 3 seconds; my friends Ultimate 10-200, in ! second!! I have pulled 7G (had recording G meters) and experience tunnel/blackout......my brother has 2 gliders, one in a box....fits wings on and even puts tape over join; flies for 2 hours; returning, finds wings NOT secured and only the tape keeping things together! Jaysus! Gliding cool - real piloting, and such beautiful a/c.

@@davidwheatcroft2797 scary!!! Glad the wings stayed on til he landed.

[@davidwheatcroft2797]

@@webbevents Yes! I told him that this will kill you. Flying very unforgiving, and pilots rarely hurt; killed. I had a spiral dive in heavy cloud, and was seconds from death at 300+kts; wanted to panic, but did not. My brother flies an RV8 - super nice a/c; aerobatic, 200HP; jumps off the ground!

no aileron roll?

[@webbevents]

Hi Mark. I'm still working my way through the manoeuvres. Can fly and turn inverted, just not cleared for rolling yet
