Nice. Even pilots with training have zero experience with any new aircraft they have never flown. You can learn the basics but the only way to learn an ultralight is to get in and fly it. An ultralight is going to fly different from a Cessna 150. No one should jump in without at least learning the basics. I have watched lots of video instruction and especially crash videos to find out why it happened so that I don't make a similar mistake.
Y’all should go to Kill Devil Hills in the Outer Banks of NC!! The first flight was flown there by brothers Orville & Wilbur Wright. And there’s all kinds of exciting things to do there.
Awesome! Just awesome.. Its pitiful that we now live in a generation of jealous softies who, just because they did much worse than this with a CFI are jealous that someone else is enjoying more with much less cost. Its great! No one can take that feeling from you. I came to the flying world years ago and heard how pilots have so much respect for each other. Im not sure thats actually true. In no other sport have I ever heard so much whining, downgrading and trash talk about other pilots as some of the flying community. Yes, Im talking about you, you who went to college, paid by your parents to learn to fly. Not because you thought its fun, but because it was the cool thing for you to do. Now you fly around in your new little sport plane, and who ever got to where you are in a much lesser means is completely worthless. Unfortunately Its you who are wrong.
Plane was not week at all now my fear of over revenge the engine and blowing it up was strong I had nothing to worry about on the engine but thought I did
the take off had me laughing my ass off! I have no idea how you didn't stall when you turned so soon after takeoff. But, for not having any training pretty dam good.
I think the person with the camera should have given him room instead of standing and waiting to be run over and possibly chopped up with a propeller, crazy taking a risk like that.
Good for him! Outstanding work, build the aircraft and pilot the thing. The only way to learn is by doing. He's staying with it. Thanks for sharing. J.
This is the same exact way I learned how to fly just got in one and figured it out after your off the ground and make a couple circles u catch on very quick to what does what kudos to you sir learning is the only way to do it and that’s how head first book can’t teach ya crap if yours hands on like me
So, on takeoff, there was a quartering wind from the front, right to left. That pushed him to the left until he lifted off. At that point he immediately weathervaned into the wind - to the right. Right?
Kinda looks like that but not quiet actually I was not planning on taking off I just practicing taxi getting a little faster and faster just trying to get a grip on the tail wheel my runway was to narrow for my skill at this time and I git a little out of control and was shooting to the left side and was going to hit the little wind row of dirt on the edge of the runway so I made a split decision to just gas on it and attempt to get a little off the ground before I tore up my plane the dirt row would have done damage when Before I knew it I was in the air and shooting off to the right this aircraft the prop spins to the left so it requires alot of left rudder instead of right rudder
@@commentatron just been flying with some friends I've got a couple ultralight I've been working on but not ready just need a little more fabric work to be ready
7000 hour commercial pilot and former cfi here! Nice work! I know many self trained pilots where im from. It used to be common. Do get some training when you can and learn spins and stalls. But nice work!
No person should be flying without training...no matter what you fly 15 hours of dual before solo should be required....more if that is what it takes to be safe. Stall speed increases with bank angle.. stall spins on approach are common. speed control and angle of attack are crucial.. No Training = No Knowledge.. and practice is require to build motor-eye skills.. Yikes.. Death wish and stupid too.
Actually If you look into it more pilots with training crash than those without and if I could had found the training I would have thanks to ideas like yours and our wonderful government they have made it illegal for ultralight pilots to train other ultralight pilots and made it very hard for people to become an instructor
