Cool. I'm a private pilot and I'm adding a glider rating because I want to get better at energy management. Should make those power off 180s easy when I go for my commercial.
@@TomKrajci ? I think we're talking about different things. The power off 180 I'm talking about is the commercial maneuver that starts in the downwind and requires landing at precise spot - not the impossible turn from the upwind at low altitude
@@geraldmartsy2165 you're right. I hope you sufficiently master the required maneuver for the commercial practical exam. I also hope you learn what your plane is capable of with regard to the impossible turn. That won't earn you the commercial rating, but it may come in very handy some day. I'm finishing building a glider that I will then put through a flight test regimen. My first few 'flights' will be intentional aborts on the runway, and then gradually increasing speed and altitude. I want aborting to be comfortable, not a "oh no!" event.
@@geraldmartsy2165 It's a kit, but not 'rapid build' by any standard. HP-24 glider. I have added a front electric motor/folding prop. More work! hpaircraftblog.wordpress.com/ front-electric-sustainer.com/
The yarn sting taped to the canopy is not an angle of attack indicator. It is simply for yaw and maintaining coordinated turns. Keep the string straight back while turning provides the most efficient coordinated turn. Very important for sailplanes to minimize drag.
Looks like they work great during the spin, too. The stalled wing has it's string pointing almost straight up, while the other string is visibly smoother.
Nice if you have the airspace / altitude to do so. Can be dangerous if you happen to do it in a plane that's capable of entering a flat spin. I know that the Salto is built for aerobatics, but I'd be reluctant to spin it for extended lengths with that V-tail. But then again. 3 revolutions is a standard aerobatic figure; it presumably is tested tocome out safely.
@@blubb9004 go and fly with a decent instructor especially spin training, the difference will save your life, if then you don’t understand what I mean perhaps you shouldn’t be gliding.
Positive exchange of controls “I got it” :D lol.
00:58 - Gotta love that silence before the fun :)
I don't even fly, & i still found this educational.
great vid, thanks for posting.... very educational
I was really confused about who had control at each point, and which person was the instructor until the second watch
Probably didn't watch it with the sound
@@brianfunt2619 wth?
@@MyRealName huh?
@@brianfunt2619 Funt vs Funt
usually the instructor sits in the back, doesnt he
Beautiful. I spun a Grob, by accident, with no spin recovery training, and managed to sort it out and recover. Somewhat unsettling, but a good lesson.
In germany, you can not solo without the spin training
@@Winniethepopo I can't imagine any place that allows people to solo without having done any spin training.
@@tc1817 You can, if you fly K7 or something similar. That whale won't spin unless you force her pretty hard.
Wtf
@@josefsoltes8572 nonsense!
god i loved doing those in training spins are so fun
You have a lot of faith in a Blanik.Great aeroplane in its day !!
God dang i miss my gliding days.

@@TomKrajci Cool! A homebuilt is on my aviation wishlist, but I'm a long way a way. Is it your own design or a kit?

Excellent illustrations !!
I had an urp in my stomach on the one spin. I had some lessons in a glider and wish I'd had more time and $ to finish and Final..!
First time seeing the aoa strings. Cool
These AOA yarns are a super cool idea !!!

@@braddevendorf9901 look on the side of the canopy : yarns on left and right side with colored tape for reference
@@francescodepascale7188 Yes you are correct. I was to focused on the center of the canopy.
@@braddevendorf9901 He's talking about the ones on each side with colored tapes.
Looks like they work great during the spin, too. The stalled wing has it's string pointing almost straight up, while the other string is visibly smoother.
Instructor training?
Yes
Did y'all fly out of Alamogordo-White Sands Regional Airport
?
Looks fun
Why was the instructor in the front?
Instructor development. The instructor candidate was in the back.
Ah ,ok!
To cushion the impact
The instructor seems to be very nervous and / or ill. His hand is very shaky.
that guy’s frozen stiff
I used to wind up a Salto, H101AZ for 5 FULL revolutions just for fun.. I hate these vids where it's like barely a spin...

Should be: Demonstrate -Teach - Practice.

instructor has a very shaky hand, i noticed that
But he said he is a student! What was all that about?
@@turanamo Just guessing: Instructor training? The instructor instructor pretends to be a student.
What kind of training is that, what a load of bollocks.
Gonegliding upload a video of "proper training" then
Gonegliding absolutely agree what a load of crap, they call themselves instructors!!
Can you elaborate to a student, what is so bollocks about this training of an instructor? I don't see it.

Instructor training?
Yes. Instructor trainee in the back seat, peering over the shoulder of the 6ft 4in instructor in the front seat.
