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... :-)
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.
@@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!
Awesome video! This was a good aerobatic flight! Congratulation to the student pilot 😉

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

no aileron roll?
Hi Mark. I'm still working my way through the manoeuvres. Can fly and turn inverted, just not cleared for rolling yet
