1 Fatal ...r.a.h or r.a.p?

But how many aircraft will continue flying at 50 kts in a 45 degree bank? Not many, I'd wager... Mark, The example was for a moderate performance glider which, at 50 kts, can make a 180 degree turn in less than 10 seconds. Most sailplanes circle in thermals with bank angles of 45 degrees, or higher, at around 50 kts. The following links show the specifications for my Schreder HP-14 homebuilt sailplane. http://www.soaridaho.com/Schreder/HP...ifications.htm Links to pictures of my HP-14. http://www.soaridaho.com/Schreder/HP...Test_Ready.jpg http://www.soaridaho.com/photogaller.../17900_MSL.jpg http://www.soaridaho.com/photogaller...r_Mt_Range.jpg Wayne HP-14 N990 "6F"
