I know this guy is on an Ozone Speedster but is he really getting over 3800 feet per min descent rate? See middle section of video:

This i very possible, But he only does t for a short time so not 100% convinced. I was getting 1800fpm in a shallower spiral on friday, I was getting nearly getting half the wing under the horizon but i was not locked in like this guy!! but will try :wink:

Most I ever got was just shy of 3600 and the wing was pretty much nose down, I was trying to get used to the G in preperation for learning to SAT (which I bottled). Thought my eyes were going to get sucked into my skull. Looking at the angle of the wing I would estimate more like 2800. But theres so many variables involved its really hard to say. If he's read it off the vario post flight then the averager certainly wouldn't be 3800. Absolutely brilliant video though, what a lovely flight.

42.6 mph. ( I think!! ) (19 meters per second)

Terminal velocity is 122mph or (54 meters per second)

Seems possible..... but not for me thanks.

SW :D
