My question asked what speed you were doing to achieve such a high loading in a glider, thanks for posting the link but I am well aware of what a K21 is, having flown several times in one. As your quote so aptly describes, its maximum g load is +6.5 whereas you claim to have pulled 7. So back at you fella, what are you trying to tell me, that you bust both the Vne and the maximm g limits for sh!ts and giggles, or more likely as I suspect that your are talking out of your @rse.

Now where you going to find a link to talk your way out of that one?

We didn't have g meters in the Mustangs but the g we enjoyed maximising to the pre stall buffet was when a break was called to forestall an incoming firing pass and, with vision seriously impaired, still be able to see the tracers missing. Tended to make you "cut a few washers".

The reverse break to try to counter attack had one's vision right back to grey-out. It must hasve been good for the heart muscles.

I've been told before that it's not the overall size, but it's the length that's important:

Sneeze=2.9g
Cough=3.5g
Hopping off step=8.1g
Plopping down on a chair=10.4g

From the factory website:
Even when flown dual the ASK 21 has a stalling speed of only 65 km/h (35kt) – quite remarkable considering that the aircraft is certified for a maximum speed of 280km/h or 151kt
We would dive the airplane to 220-240 km/hr roll in bank and pull.....
So that is well below Vne.

I am well aware of what a K21 is, having flown several times in one
So that makes you an expert ?

I don't feel that I need to explain anything else to you Sanchez,
for the THIRD time:
back when I was young and stupid

I didnt claim it made me an expert, why so defensive!!!??? Just dont see the need to post links to other websites, as they dont strenghten your case, in fact matey they just make you look like more of an @rse.

Vne is 151 kts so what, you cant use more than full stick deflection above 97kts (Va) due to the possibility of overstress and excessive aerodynamic loads, but hey I am sure you knew that, and you keep banging on about how the max g limit is 6.5, you have even posted in a link, so my point is why did you pull 7, as you claimed?

Is busting limits your thing.................? speaks volumes about your credibility as a professional aviator. Did you perform your little 'excursion' in a club glider, or did you own it. I hope you did, either that or fessed up on landing and had the appropriate overstress checks carried out.

What else do you do for sh!ts and giggles? Would love to know, as long as I dont have to be in the same piece of airspace as you.

Oh and in answer to the original question, yes I can withstand 7.5g
