I am going to sound awfully ignorant here, but are glider pilots supposed to be sitting strait up in the cockpit while turning? I have always cocked my head so as to be semi-close to level while in turns. (Motorcycle riders do it...) Is there some consensus among glider pilots that I don't know about that would suggest otherwise? I don't here much talk on this subject at all...but it is interesting. ~Travis So maybe glider pilots are doing it wrong. I've had instructors from both camps. Personal experience plus watching cockpit footage of some of the top aerobatic pilots leads me to believe there is some advantage to keeping your head oriented to the horizon. I'm curious as to other opinions / justifications. Craig http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSxAAIYKPsM (watch the head gyrations at 1:50)
