I do plan on Flying a Sailplane again. The thing I do want to resolve is my tendency to start over correcting in roll. What will happen is: UnderTow I will say experience the Aircraft roll say to the left port. I would apply right Aileron. The Aircraft would no longer be rolling to the Left. It would roll, too far to the right. I would then apply left aileron. Ther Sailplane would end up rolling too far to the Left, and then I would experience this P-I-O over and over again. As the Plane would begin rolling over and over again. would raise my hands in frustration, then ask my Instructor Mikeal to take control. He would get us once again flying Wings level. I experienced this P-I-O condition under Tow Only. I have a question: just how out of shape in roll can one get?
In the Past flying Hang Gliders. I experienced P-I-O. Like when I fly my second Glider for some of it's first Flights. I will say that Gliders will P-I-O. My Predator would P-I-O violently. I quickly to ignore the rolling of the Glider. I did not fight it. I learned to relax, Result: P-I-O oscillations went away.
I see flying that Grobe Sailplane as a new challenge for me to master. I just need to figure out this tendency of mine to
P-I-O.
