SIV Course Movie

There are two guys at Oludinez who video everything, one does take offs and the other does flying tricks and landings.

I came away with a complete set of DVD's for the 5 days that I was flying. There camera man is great because he is filming stuff 1km away from him at the time.
It took some days to slice my few minutes of fame from a DVD but here is one flight.

My glider is Blue with a white bit at the front, occasionally the camera man wanders to another glider.

The movie is 5 minutes long and shows me doing 2 SAT's and a Full Stall, and then landing.

The SAT starts off by going into a Spin and then you pull the turning brake hard which makes the glider spin forward and the pilot spin backwards.

You exit the manouver by releasing both brakes so you enter a normal spiral and then exit the spiral.
Easy?

In the second SAT, I release the brakes too slowly and the glider enters a steep power diving spiral but thet was OK!

The cameraman then records another pilots full stall before returning to me after I have stalled mine :)

A few minutes movie later, I am landing.
I find it great fun and very helpfull to watch the movies :)

SAT

This manoeuvre was invented by Raul Rodriguez in 1999. The name comes from the name of his team, the Safety Acro Team. Actually it’s a kind of spiral, wherein the center of the rotation is between the glider and the pilot. It means, the glider turns forward, (positive) while the pilot turns backward (negative). The sinking rate is pretty low, somewhere between 2-6 m/s, depends on the glider and the execution of the manoeuvre.
