Gustav Salminen - World Champion Advanced Glider Aerobatics 2017 

:-D

Cool man. Did you guys ever meet again.

Thank you!

@@gusalmiak Hi Gustav, can you told me what are max +/- G´s you have in Fox with your aerobatics style?

You all prolly dont care but does any of you know of a way to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot my account password. I love any tricks you can give me

@Gatlin Huxley instablaster =)

Thank you!

@@randomguyinanglider The latter part is not necessarily true. For example, aerobatics are not allowed with any LS gliders. They're also not allowed with most Schemp-Hirth gliders.

Mario John Thank you Mario :) i was suprised how many stupid comments this video got. Im glad you are not one of them. Some people has severe braindamage :) Thanks for you nice comment!

You're very welcome, Jesper. I suppose when we visit RU-vid there will always be that small army of hateful individuals making stupid comments. I think this video is one of the best I've seen on the subject matter.

P.S. Great channel!

Philo Kvetch could not have said it better myself

Jesper Rådegård Hi jesper, My dream since I was a kid was to be a Pilot, so i did, but i never got to see this part of flying that much, and it seems you have introduced to me a small opening into another world of flying so thank you!

Thanks my friend :) Cheers!

Hello, no it wasn't me on Paris Air Show, it was Nicolas Honnons of France :)

Most gliders are rated for basic aerobatics. Cant be said for your typical small powered aircraft.

you're young :))

Fox, solofox, szd acro, swift - all aerobatic gliders from Poland. Speciality.

Thats usa for u, brain dead.

Thanks!

it is because the fox is optimized purely for aerobatics. If they intended for it to also be for cross-country they would have but in aerobatics absolutely perfect aerodynamics are not the biggest concern.

You use thermals, they are rising columns of warm air, so you can get higher and fly further. If there's enough thermals, a glider could theoretically fly forever.

would be cool to have a glider with jet propulsion. You know, self take off then land at point b.

sey1yes2 Thanks! Adobe premiere pro cc on PC. It works great!

Thanks! Yes, I have some airshows booked for 2018 and recently bought a powered Pitts S2C that I will use for airshows and competitions aswell.

We have people as flight students which are way over 50, beter late than never :)

@@randomguyinanglider4090 sadly, now just passing the 60 mile stone, and spine issues more than i have fingers on one hand, the best id hope for is to build my own ultralight with float's! just down the street from me is a private lake i belong to the association that owns it, perfect for flying from and landing on! being a fine furniture crafter for near 50 years, yes a portion with my dad, teaching the basics and further as a grew older! im sure I can build my own and it be strong, right and tight, as well most importantly, airworthiness! thanks for the reply and info, as well as your kind words of encouragement!

I hope you pursued this path! Its very fun. For me, the biggest hurdle wasn't learning to fly, it was getting overt the pants-sh*tting terror of "Will this flight be my last? Why do I do this?" Funnily enough, I only had those thoughts when I WASN'T flying. The way I got over that was by just going to the club once a week and flying, and then it happened. One day, when the tow plane started up its engine, my stomach didn't drop and my heart didn't leap into my throat. I was calm, and knew that yes in fact, I CAN do this. I can fly, and the glider is mine to command. Even if you're not flying, hanging around the glider club if you can is awesome. You learn so much. If you are interested, trying out a flight sim with a stick and pedals does help your "sight picture" on the off days or off season (but a flight sim is never a replacement for actual gliding). I recommend Condor 2 or XPlane 11 (on Steam). Good luck!

Tack Tommy! Ja det var kul jobba med Gustav. Supertalang! :)

Då ska vi inte tala om dig Jesper... :D

wargor don’t just take a ride, join a club, go solo, best decision I ever made.

Take a ride - I did . . . .now here I am 450 flights later . . .

All fun and games until they drop you as ballast.

Mike Holt Thanks my friend.

"hey check out this guy's modesty"

Thanks!

The model is a ''Fox'' made in Poland. Marganski & Myslowski MDM-1 ''Fox''

Jes it depends on what plane your flying and what position youre in aswell as how much energy you have left

Such is life? Oh c'mon! It's a problem when you are to poor to fly at all like me :D

jacekmak87 I think that if you are smart with your priorities, and disciplined with your money, this is achievable. Multiplying your take home salary by 10 years, and you should be able to afford a used Fox, even after basic expenses. If you aren't able to find employment at a level befitting your age group, then I agree, it might be impossible. First, you must really want it. Most people prioritize having a spouse first. For me, 2 inches would have to be removed from my legs, and 2 inches removed from my spine, and that is too great a cost.

Admittedly I've only flown standard trainer gliders, nothing with a high rating, but surely there must be other acrobatic gliders out there? I've seen 3 different models just from this vid and two with Luca Bertossio

Two seat, known to be too small: AS K-21 MDM-1 Fox Politechnika Warszawska PW-6U Likely not fit: Schempp-Hirth Duo Discus (if Arcus is an indication) Possibility fit: DG Flugzeugbau DG-1001 Puchacz SZD 50-3 Known to fit: Grob G103a Twin II Acro with structural repairs? Grob G103c Twin III Acro with structural repairs?

Getting towed pretty high and use no thermal at all.

Jonathan Julbe Thank you! Music from freemusicarchive. By Jon Luc Heffermaan. Free to use and thats why i use it. No copyrightroblems.

Ducati Drew Yes it is! I'm a glider pilot myself in Holland and we wear the parachute for 3 reasons: 1. Weight (because you need to weigh a certain amount or else the plane will pitch up and stall because the center of gravity would be behind the wings) 2. Comfort/safety (by landing or any turbulence your back may be smashed to the seat, this can give you backproblems, so we wear this as sort of pillow for our back and that we sit more comfortable) 3. In case of an emergency bail out (it's a parachute, what more do I need to say :) )

Hugo El Manai thank you for the quick reply. My weight would be no problem...plane would never pitch up...lol!!!!

No that's a lamp post!

no that's a lamp post!

Hugo El Manai waar vlieg je?
