Anyone know how much "g" these gliders are pulling at those speeds? Must be phenominal!
Show/hide user stats
Calculated to be 40+ but largely depends on type of circuit. It's very similar to a F3D pylon model around the first turn. They are slower (220mph or so) but turn with a smaller radius.

I wanna go slope soaring . Will my ripmax trainer do 300mph ?
The irvine 40 up front is only 10 years old and maybe i could launch it of the top of k2 using a bungee. Seriously though the video is amazing, congratulations!

I may be a bit dense, but how is it possible to make a glider go so fast?

Ignore the bit about 300mph never being likely to e reached. It was written a long time ago!
