Abrupt departure from controlled flight - yes, indeed! "No warning?" - not by a long shot. The nose was not noticeably high in either glider (20 C or 26E); the wind noise was subdued, but both gliders were very quiet, and the change in noise was very small; there was no burble or "butt feel"; the controls were light but not unusually so; and the wing "departure" was not abrupt - I simply ran out aileron, and the wing would start downward. I'm guessing the inside wing tip doesn't stall, but can't be sure about that. Stick quickly a little bit forward restored aileron authority? |
