Too great video Steve, watching it again. Amazing shooting, gorgeous flying, wonderful gliders, and very nice music choice. This one has to be watched like a movie with time to apreciate. And so inspirational!
Not sure which is better the flying or the filming. There are lots of cool moves that I need to emulate. The Hamilton plane, ohh my what a graceful flight. Thanks Steve.
The plane with the Hamilton decoration is a semi-scale model of the famous French sailplane, the Arsenal Air 100. For over 30 years, models of this glider have been very popular for use in flying VTPR in Brittany. Eric's example here is absolutely stunning in person, with an immaculate finish that matches his impeccably smooth flying.
Can anyone tell me the name of the move at 1:22, along with the control surface aspects needed to pull it off and maybe a tutorial on how to do it?!! Incredible!
It's simply called a "Flip", in this case, an upright or positive G flip (as compared to if you pushed the nose forward to make it an inverted or negative G flip). These moves are made possible by a so-called "Mad Stab" or "mad stabilizer,' which is a design feature involving a fully flying horizontal stabilizer capable of 180 degrees of rotation. The Mad Stab and this style of flying incorporating flips was pioneered by French pilot and model designer Benoit Paysant-Le Roux in the late 90s in the Normandie and Bretagne areas of France via a model he created called the Madslide. You can find lots and LOTS more videos showing this kind of flying on my UA-cam channel, as well as my website slopeaerobatics.com. There's too much to discuss via YT comment alone, but that should be enough to get you started.
@@surfimp Fantastic info! Thanks heaps for that. Looking back I can see the stab in a position I've not seen one ever before... Truly mad. Thanks heaps for the detailed reply and for pointing me to your channel.
Oh how beautiful. Scenery, music and gorgeous VTPR slopers. Actually brought tears to my eyes.
Now imagine how I felt being there, with my absolute heroes of slope aerobatics! It was fantastic!!
I can imagine. That 1977 version of "Don't let me be misunderstood" brings back significant memories from my past, great stuff.
This like seeing a physical representation of being extremely fluent and even poetic in a foreign language.

It was so great being there! I genuinely hope you get to fly in Brittany some day, it's not to be missed. I can't wait to go back next year :D
This is my favorite video! Just Awesome Steve! Well Done!

Ok, hands down, I'm quite a decent pilot but some of the moves down here would've ended in a crash with me on the sticks!
