Omg....bounce on landing at stall speed...two wicked unite... when I saw the imminent prop strike I knew a hundred grand was about to be flushed down the crapper ehh.
At NASA-LaRC I put together the aeromodel and modified a simulation for testing the GTM (B757-200 5.5%) before it flew, so pretty neat to stumble across this video years later. If I recall correctly, only really needed ~20% power to fly at the 5.5% scale gross weight conditions, as the turbines required to make the dynamic scaling and form work out correctly were way overkill. I wonder how the testing of the full flying stabilator worked at 90-degree deflection?!
"Hot Wings".....what an incredibly stupid name for a modification that greatly effects the safety of an aircraft. The name does not create serious confidence.
My son was in the back seat of this Air Tractor plane crash. The pilot was in his early 70's. On the way out to California when going over the Rocky Mountains, the pilot flew higher then the airplane was suppose to fly. The air got really thin in the cockpit. This daddy didn't sleep for two months after seeing this crash.
Put a handle up there for techies to climb up, Bell! He's climbing up by grabbing the pitchlink!😲 And nice aircraft, by the way, but cannot be said the same about the camera work!😒
Dear AsTheCroftFlies, would it possible to contact you regarding one of your videos? I would love to discuss a permission to use it if this is possible at all. Greetings

A helicopter carrying the Philippines' top police chief and seven other people crashed on Thursday after hitting a power cable on takeoff, critically injuring two of the police generals on board. General Archie Francisco Gamboa was among the people pulled from the wreckage of the two-year-old Bell 429.: www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/03/philippine-police-generals-critical-helicopter-crash-200305053445678.html
Ah to have cold starts like that where your ITT isn’t taking off 44degC yesterday... engine temp started at 300degC, needed a dry run first to get it below 150. AGM DB1 OLD
He comes in too slow, bounces flat- then when his remaining ground effect and bounce momentum give him a final shot at flight- he rides it back down into a perfect stall. How embarrassing! Could have been much worse I think.
Very nice dashboard setup with a lot off glass stuff :) Whats the type/manufacturer of the standby attitude indicator which is already running before engine start?
I fly a Gobosh in Florida, but flew in and out of Lee many times around Annapolis. Watch out for those trees on the west end! Grab a pizza next door to the airport. Great views in and out of Lee. Fun plane to fly.
America today is a multi billion dollar company that could not care less about its employees often under paid under appreciated miss treated taken for granted while upper management lives like kings !
This aircraft has no other utility other than getting a twin rating. Way too expensive compared to singles that have similar performance. Hang two small jet engines putting out 300HP each on the wings, then you have good utility and excellent performance. It is already expensive.
All that electronic equipment like automated FADEC's etc are nice, but it's just that much more stuff to be affected, or knocked out, from electromagnetic interference. I heard rumors that the Russians have created an EM warfare system that they tested on a US destroyer that entered their waters in the Black Sea. It was in pods mounted on two Sukoi Su-24 fighter planes and supposedly jammed the destroyer's AEGIS radar while the Su-24's did twenty minutes worth of simulated attack runs on the destroyer. The destroyer could not lock the fighters on radar to use surface to air weapons on them in defense if they really had been attacking. The only option would have been to use shoulder launched Stingers, but at that close of a range the Russian fighters would have already sank the destroyer with anti-ship missiles. Of course radar jamming is nothing new, and the reports of the incident, as well as reports that several navy officers from the USS Cook, I believe it was, resigned because the incident shook them up too much, were most likely exaggerated. However, it may not be long before EM weapon systems may be developed that can knock out electronics by neutralizing their transistors. The wonderful, but flawed, transistor that makes integrated circuits and CPU's possible, but extremely sensitive to EM radiation, especially gate capacitor dependant field effect transistors. EM weapons, and EMP's both natural and nuclear weapons caused pose a major threat to all of the electronics that we have become so dependent on. I dread the day an EMP, or nuclear war ever happens. The Russians have been working on shaped, directional nuclear charges from the Orion propulsion system that, when aimed at the outer atmosphere, can create EMP's far more powerful than an omnidirectional nuclear device. We would go insane without our PC's, tablets, and cell phones. Teenagers would be committing mass suicide without their cell phones and constant texting.
Interesting how this plane plays out the exact design I had in my head for the Ideal piston twin whereby it would be sleek and modern high wing with no struts and with landing gear coming out of the fuselage like a high wing military transport aircraft ... It all makes sense how it is laid out and of course the Italians beat out American styling and design by a considerable margin ... Regional carriers the world over are clamoring for its bigger brother in part due to its sleek modern style .. and lack of competitors with anything close ... These Tecnam twins I predict won't be built fast enough to keep up with demand
