Theo de Blic TUTORIAL: RAPID DESCENT / SCHNELLABSTIEG

Theo explains in detail all the rapid descent techniques, how to fly them, what to watch out for, their advantages and their disadvantages.
Theo erklärt ausführlich alle Schnellabstiegsmethoden, wie man sie fliegt, worauf man achten muss, ihre Vorteile und ihre Nachteile.

Brilliant video. Thank you!

[@safranpollen]

the half side collapse to go down is genious at all. I will try this at the next flight for sure. Merci pour ta demonstration Theo :-)

Thank you for the great video, very informative 👍

Thanks to Theo de Blic for his great tutorials :)

What happens during all manurvers in turbulet air conditions? Do you have to adjust something? Is there a higher risk of a collapse o.s. ?

Hi @theodeblic , Would you recommend big ears spiral or asymmetric collapse spiral for the Mentor 7 ? Thanks.

[@WBtimhawk]

Super usefull content Theo, thank you so much. Out of all those technics, doesn't B-stall have the highest sink rate (with maybe the exception of flyback) ? I was under the impression that if you don't know flyback and absolutely need to sink fast right here and right now, B-stall is preferable. Didn't know horseshoe, but that looks like one mess of a deathtrap. Also, nice photobombing by the ozone session at 11:30 :p

Hi, B-Stall sink rate is really not that great, it's basically the same level as a soft spiral (3-6m/s) spiraling with big ears or spiralling with an assymetric collapse are way more efficient and you can keep it for way longer. Backfly is going down around 7-10m/s.
