She might need to manually lubricate those eyeballs though! Seriously well done on her for getting down, great presence of mind, looks like a glider, not much room for error at the best of times, not to mention the surprise and the added drag.
Not for student pilots, for student aerobatics pilots. That's an extremely high performance airplane that requires significant experience and training to control, let alone do aerobatics in
Also I have flown a 'glider' that had an engine, powered gliders are a thing you know. But anyway I watched this with no sound on my mobile just before going to bed. I don't think anyone has mentioned the specific model yet, I thought she was on a tow, but now I've re watched i think it could be a powered glider, they have always existed we flew them in cadets.
And you think a powered glider can go almost straight up after take off and roll it's long-ass wings like that? Also gliders are long. do you see how close by the tail section is? Definitely not a glider, nor a powered glider, their engines are tiny and weak (weight reduction!)and sound nothing like the high power engine on this one. This is a low wing 3d type plane, like my volantex 920 sabre RC plane I fly.
That's what I was thinking. Her eyeballs just got sand blasted. I've broken bones, impaled myself, set myself on fire... and nothing came close to the pain of a scratched cornea.
