Default What acro glider is this?

Hi All

Just saw this movie here and i was wondering what glider it is?
Is it a Swift S-1 or SZD 59 Acro ? Or another glider

Anyway a nice movie.

Best regards=20

SNIP
This is a flight by Malgosia Marganska , the daughter
of the constructor, showing some very nice aerobatics

Jiminy, I am not sure what ship it is, but what the
hell do you call a tail-slide, into two reverse tumbles,
into some sort of inverted spin, in a glider? All
female Polish pilots look like her?

Beauty is as beauty does. I am VERY happy with my Swift. It is fully
capable of the entire gamut of unlimited glider aerobatics.

BTW, there was no tumble in that movie. I don't know anyone who knows
how to make a glider tumble. Tumbles are in the class of gyroscopic
maneuvers which gliders have a real hard time doing since they have no
gyroscope (engine/prop).

What looked sort of like an inverted spin after one of the tailslides
was actually a negative snap roll of 1 1/2 turns. If you look hard
you can see the nose push away from the downline as the snap roll
begins.

The only time I think my Swift is a little ugly is when my crew has
deserted me when I need to assemble or disassemble the wings. They
are VERY heavy.

"Looks to me like the SZD 59, it's not ugly enough to be a Swift, nice =
vid
:-D

AP"

Yes but take a closer look at Tail. The Swift has some sort of strange =
rudder like the MDM1 fox with a cut into it at the back of the rudder, =
while the SZD 59 Acro has a straight back at the rudder:

Swift S-1:

Take a look at the movie about 4:57 - i think i can see the cut in the =
tail with a closer look.?!
