No they aren't. My CFIG instructor was an absolute genius in the aircraft.
After all the activity died down late on a Sunday night, he'd take me up for one last flight. We'd come SCREAMING down final near to redline, touch it, pull up, do a reversement, touch it again, pull up, do a reversement and land. I've never had the intestinal fortitude to show a student more than one, much less two. Jim yeah, but they still landed silently. Glider landings aren't news.... glider touch and go's are. Wish I had some MPEGs of that! |

You got me there. I've only seen one done :-)
South Florida conditions allow one to thermal pretty easily after a T&G. They like doing ridge top T&Gs at Harris Hill in Elmira NY. I'm curious, what site did you see this at? UK? I've never had the fortitude to touch the wheel. One day's genius is tomorrow's ? RST Engineering wrote: No they aren't. My CFIG instructor was an absolute genius in the aircraft.
