Great vid Mike

[@dj-flights7376]

Hey was that a full loop? And was it on a U2 or S3?

[@MichaelStrother]

Not sure I understand the question... this is a Sport 3.
Maybe you meant this for a different video?

[@dj-flights7376]

@@MichaelStrother I was referring to the loop performed at 8:11 in the video, was wondering what wing that was as it has a kingpost.

[@MichaelStrother]

@@dj-flights7376 aahhh... totally forgot about Ryan looping in this edit. That's Rick's Sport 3 (person you can hear talking in the video). Ryan was borrowing the glider. Same as my glider but a better sail material.

@@MichaelStrother Wow, I didn't know we can do loops with Sport 3! Good to know (though not sure I will anytime soon). Thanks

[@BariFPV]

I have flown my S3 a little over 60 mph but a loop on it. I saw the loop too, it barely pulled up enough and dropped the wing too.

[@Vl7248]

So.. how does it compare to the S2?

[@MichaelStrother]

Still figuring it out, but more slippery, and feels easier to land.

[@SVSky]

@@MichaelStrother That was my experience too. S3 much more refined.
