Young pilot Igor Snisarenko breaking cross bar of his Aeros Combat 2 while
trying to make series of loops. Video made from three different cameras. Flight
made in the Caucuses mountains.
Igor's comments in the end of the movie are (translated from Russian): "After
long practicing of making wingovers and loops, the excessive speed and the wing
overload affected the strength of the carbon crossbar. Cross bar collapsed when
the glider was on the way to the second maneuver of the series.
It took five sec and 80-120 meters of altitude for the reserve chute to open.
Very useful positive experience. This won't stop me from continuing making
aerobatics.
Meanwhile Igor announced aerobatics courses where he is teaching aerobatics.
