What's the song please ?

However, this is a glider, not an aerobatic plane. It is designed for slow ride, NOT HUGE SPEED, and agressive turns. And that loop in the end…:(:(:(:(
Didn't see the pilot when the wings formed almost a circle ???? I realy dont understand…. It was a beautiful machine..

Not A Stunt Plane, Do B2 Stealth Bombers do loops ? no because it stresses the plane out too much, This pilot is fired. With that much money on the line you would think they would treat it like driving a car.
Probably something …

That was an outstanding job on the filming, although the rather disappointing ending…

Although I do not care for gliders this was a beautiful plane. Sorry for your loss…
Nice flying…
anybody in avaition …
anybody in avaition knows gliders can be the fastest and aerobatic too ,,,but apparently he didnt build this one to meet his frame stressing flying ,i bet if he makes another it will be flown more scale like and be much stronger otherwise he will have another expensive heap

really nice lookin plane sad it crashed
thats gotta suck

allso look at 2:45. Wing twists and bends due to sufficient wing lingitudional rigidity.

Hopefully owner did some excellent thermals in previous flights….. feel really sorry for the owner.

wonderful bird…you should try to build a real one
Of course, there …
Of course, there must have been weak spots that had been wearing away over time, although it must be said that if he was more careful and made thorough checks for each flight, e.g. flying surface inspections, it probably would be ok. Now inspecting what happened, it seems it was doomed before making the loop. When it leveled out, it snapped the opposite way I thought it would, and was probably hanging on the metal paneling on the wing, kept in place by centrifugal force while in the loop.
There are lots of ( …
There are lots of (also full scale-) gliders that can, and are allowed to perform aerobatics. If the wing structure is build strong enough, there is not a problem.
Of course everything can be be over stressed, like the unlucky Ventus in this movie.
If the wind span is …
If the wind span is longer than the body, don't do aerobatics! Too much stress goes into the wings. I did see that video with a plane landing that only had one wing left! A master of flying that was! But this was just unlucky.
omg that really …
omg that really stinks =\ the flip was just way too much stress on the wing beautiful plane though
