That is absolutely fantastic, this is the best slow roll video I have ever seen. I love the cameras and graphics, you really bring Eric Mullers sacred circle to life. Keep up the great work.
My schoolbook taugt me that aerodynamic lift comes from the horizontal wing, with its assymetrical wing-profile, causing pressure-differensies, haha. Not a word about the fully symmetrical wings action, pressing air in some direction, to cause an opposite force in the other direction, according to Newton. The book forgot of the most important thing: The angle of attack, moving the air and excerting an opposite force. Even strongly assymetrical wings can be flown inverted if the engine is strong enough and the angle of attack is high enough.
Hello, Great video for the learning community. I have instructed people to do aerobatics at height and low level, including the slow roll for years. I find it important to demonstrate the results of poorly coordinated rudder and aileron inputs at the entry and exit of the manoeuvre, so to educate the corrective actions required.
Most awesome, I have flown this same type on aerobatic profile flights and we did not do this. They're posted in my channel. I will request this on my next ride.
Hoping I'm wrong, but making a broad assumption that 'how to's' dropped off the menu based on liability. Pity - no intent to duplicate w/o dedicated instruction, but I think this sort of video complements instruction very effectively. Also agree with the comment re: seeing this done in other less capable aircraft, and in what common mistakes / recovery scenarios look like. You mention a basic aileron roll, but don't demo that. I really like the effort you put into this though, and the trail filming was great. Hopefully the attorneys leave you alone and you can do more. Missed you at SnF (if you were there) but hope to see you in person some day. Thanks!
Essentially the opposite of what I mention in this video. It takes a lot of practice to get slow rolls equally strong both left and right just with the different feel/ergonomics in the cockpit
Very nice demonstration. I would like to see the same tutorial done with something that has a lot of adverse yaw, like a Decathalon or a Stearman. Not everyone will be flying an Extra or a Pitts.
Good explanation. But slow roll could be slower. Mine is more then 20 second slow roll. Shall we do a small competition who makes the longest slow roll! Haha😅
rookie question here.. i see aerobatic pilots always sitting in the backseat is that to make the cg go aft to reduce stability and make the aircraft more sensitive to inputs?
Great question ! Purpose-built aerobatic airplanes like the Pitts, Extra, Gamebird etc all have the PIC seat in the rear. This is to keep the C of G within limits, otherwise it would be far too forward. Some pilots (in experimental airplanes) will add more weight into the tail to decrease stability which allows for certain handling qualities.
''a little faster'' haha fantastic video!
Glad you liked it! 👊🏻

Thank you so much for the great comment !! Really appreciate it 👊🏻
Excellent training video, Luke .
More please !
Thanks Brock !! Hope to see you at Canadian Nationals again!
Great demonstration and nice flying! The slow roll was definitely the most difficult maneuver for me to master in glider aerobatics.
Excellent video. Love the view out the cockpit while the other view shows what you are doing with the controls. Bravo. Looking forward to more!
Thanks !!🙃👊🏻
I have to agree, excellent training video, nice clear cut instruction.
Excellent flying skills as well!!
Great tutorial. Very well explained and performed. Please make more tutorials like this.
Thanks for the kind comment!

Spot on !
Great job! Very well explained. Like patting your head and rubbing your stomach while walking.
Thank you Kelly!! I hope it was useful to you ! :)
@@LukePennerAerobatics for sure everything helps, keep the great tutorial vids coming.
Very very cool.
I've heard that some power pilots try the slow roll in gliders to sharpen their skills.

Working on it ! 😁

Great job! Can you explain your rudder inputs for the right roll?

Yes slow rolls should be slow. That's why they are so difficult to do.
th-cam.com/video/S4PysjIbd_g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=VMyiOxHOtDCxdiPy. This is slow
Haha you’re correct but basically impossible to then roll without moving around behind a chase aircraft like I did in this video 😅

@ thank you for the explanation, im starting basic aerobatics in the Zlin Z142 and it's helpful to know 🙏🏻
can't wait to learn that in my bird properly.... Beer is on me....
Can’t wait ! :D 🍻
@@LukePennerAerobatics the german beer is awesome....
Never saw a slow roll in this video for some reason!?.. .
a little faster... lol
