Watch yourself from behind in a straight glide: the body hangs straight down from the hands with the legs together. It used to hang slanted in an S shape under the bar, because the sideways lean of the run and jump animation showed through. In a turn the whole body swings out with the turn and settles with a little sway, like weight on a strap. Fly straight and it hangs plumb again.
Since November 4 the wing’s roll eases into and out of a turn instead of stopping dead, and the body held at the bar turns with it, so the pilot’s head jolts less while banking. Hair moves smoothly in a fast glide instead of snapping back to its resting shape. One or two head jolts remain in hard thermal turns, where the swinging body reaches the end of the arms’ slack.
