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

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. Klein Gilhousen |

"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: http://www.pfg.dk/gallery/displayima...3D11&pid=3D846 Swift S-1: http://marganski.com.pl/html/A-POL/s.../POL-SWIFT.htm SZD 59=20 http://www.piotrp.de/SZYBOWCE/pszd59.htm Take a look at the movie about 4:57 - i think i can see the cut in the = tail with a closer look.?! /Stoffer |
