:lol: No expert M8. Used to go for "rides" in a high wing. Then for rides in a sleek high performance. Then for aerobatic rides. Finally the guy who ran the sailport said, "You're getting hours in, why not take the course and get your license?" Don't remember what happened but something came up and couldn't do it. 
Anyway, used to take the stick for normal flight, catch and ride thermals but the licensed pilot took the stick, of course, for the aerobatics. :!:
Some of these single seat high performance rides they are making in Europe today are astounding. Capable of very high speeds and high G loads comparable to a jet fiighter! I've experienced between 4 and 5 G during loops. Doesn't sound like much but it impressed me
