Was I crazy to fly this tiny light sport weight shift trike even though I'm terrified of heights? Come along for the ride as we fly over Oshkosh during my first trip to Airventure!

Seems like a lot of pilots are afraid of "heights". I finally realized that I'm not so much afraid of being up high; I'm afraid of being in a situation where I can fall. So planes don't bother me, but things like the rim of a canyon... not so good.

I went up parachuting a couple of times ... on the way up, kneeling beside an open space for a door, I was afraid of falling out. Once we were up there, though, it was basically "ok, get ready" and out I went, no real problem.

Same dude, before I got my PPL I had a PHOBIA, not of heights but of falling and negative Gs. Those first few flights I hated lol, but as I got up to it I love it now. Funny I never though I could be a pilot like that either

It's fast for an almost-ultralight, but I think I'll stick with PPG when I want to hang out in the wind and a 172 when I want to go somewhere. That looked scary. Thanks for sharing!

When I was a teenager, my dad's friend bought an ultralight, and he took me up in it. I had never flown before. It was quite the experience. He even let me handle the controls for a little bit. That helped ease my nerves as I could feel how it handled and that it wasn't just going to fall out of the air. Like you said, that feeling of being in touch with the air is something else. Thanks for this!

Ha, I am afraid of heights too and I co-designed/co-founded the trike and company you just flew in this video and have 3500+ hours in trikes. Now I fly and make gyroplanes and airplanes at Zephyrhills. Somehow when I know how the thing is holding me up (engineering), my fear of heights kind of dissolves away.

before I got my PPL i never thought I’d be able to be a pilot, I had a PHOBIA, not of heights but of falling and negative Gs. Full on internal panic mode feeling myself getting light in the seat. Those first few flights I hated lol, especially let’s just say stalls were an….. interesting time with my CFI, but as I got more hours and went really deep into the physics of flight and stalls and everything I love it now. Thanks for the video!

It's interesting that I never considered the controls of these gondola type aircraft as being opposite or backwards, they always seemed intuitive, just like how the stick in the Champ, Citabria, and Decathlon and the yoke in the Cessnas I fly are intuitive. Even the "stoke" in the skycatcher was instantly normal. Will we be seeing more out of OSH from you? I'll be looking forward to anything you upload!

I'm also a pilot and just recently discovered a fear of heights. I realized this might be tied to not having control over certain situations where you are high unlike being at the controls of an aircraft where I am more comfortable; so a fear of not having control might be the issue
@SoCalFlyingMonkey
@SoCalFlyingMonkey Год назад
yeah i think it's a control thing for sure.

I kept looking to see if it was framed up...because my arm was getting tired after a looong time of holding it out like that. But hey if you want to come be a camera operator for me youve got an open invitation for this unpaid position. hahaha. I promise I wont look into the camera even one time....
