Aerobatic LOOPS in a glider: a quick guide

Welcome aboard a glider for a launch, aerobatic loops and a landing!
Plenty to think about as you fly with no engine and get towed behind another aircraft. Do your checks, then make your manoeuvres smooth and safe. It's brilliant fun.
We're upside down about the Australian high country between Canberra and the ski fields.

Great advice on take-off. It’s that sort of focused, structured thinking that keeps us safe.

[@GlidewithTom]

Thanks! And yeah it really is waiting for the aircraft to fly when it wants to and not before

[@Johan-ex5yj]

Great stuff! 👍
Your passenger clearly loved the loops. 😍

[@GlidewithTom]

Thanks Johan! He was having a great time! It's always fun making people get more into gliding.

Top video Tom!!!

[@GlidewithTom]

Thanks Dion! I followed your good suggestion the style of explanation of a whole flight

MAN THAT’S AMAZING!
Those loops up to 3.1 G aroused jn me the will of trying gliders 😀

[@GlidewithTom]

Great to hear! You should definitely give it a go. It's cheaper than aerobatics in a powered aircraft

Haha quick guide to do it at own home... :-)

[@GlidewithTom]

Haha for sure, if you've got the competency signed off by the right instructor!
