    The glide ratio of this glider is listed as 10:1. A modern hang glider like a Wills Wing T2 is listed as 14:1. Hats off to the pilot. I hope he goes on to a fun and rewarding life in aviation.

If I remember right it cost me ten pounds from a ground-crew airman due to return to the UK . Great little bird, I flew it maybe six times, then dad banned me. Saw the American U2 when it came to refuel.. nearly shot by the "security" mob long after it left...

    Kid did a really nice job. But did he have spoilers? Without them it's much harder to plan your pattern. Also, no yaw string which makes coordinated flight tougher. Personally I'd miss an instrument panel for its top surface. Without that banking against the horizon would take some getting used to, though is clearly possible.

Unfortunately, I saw that flight end badly as he tried to land but misjudged the wind and ended up in some bushes, nose down! What a hoot! I was learning to fly at the time with the RAFGSA at RAF Wattisham. That's where the CFI, Eric, gave me the nickname of "Spamcan" (because I was in the USAF). Cheers !

      Could happen in theory, if the glider pulled real hard on the rope as it was disconnected. But I've never seen it or heard of it happening. I have seen tow ropes wrap themselves around parts of the glider, though, after a rope break - which is why we're taught to always pull the release a couple of times after a rope break.

      The glider flies at a speed much lower than its tow plane and tries to fly higher than the tow. Down elevator is required to keep the glider from raising the tail of the tow plane.

      It sounded like an eagle. I have had many aerotows and releases (in K13/K8), but I never heard it. Is there a whistle of some sort on the cable?

    My Dad got his RAF glider pilot's wings on one of these just after the war. The ex German Air Force instructor was excellent according to my father and had a small queue of NCO's lined up for instruction.

      After landing you have to stay seated on the aircraft and wait for help, because the glider is very light weighted , otherwise the wind can turn the glider up side down or blow it over the airfield.
