SIV in action: TWISTED!

Greg Hamerton

Valera sent me his SIV video for analysis. It's a great demonstration of some advanced SIV practice, pushing the limits of spins and experimenting with various recovery methods.

Comments from Val: For autorotation, I usually use outside elbow against the riser, which helps with weight transfer, and limits range on a brake, to prevent over piloting it. Works great! For the last spin, staying in a backfly was intentional, after a twist. The technique I was taught is to keep brakes in one hand, and use another to do all you need to do, such as reserve, or untwist in this case. This is mostly to prevent glider from shooting and rotating and etc.
