But with a greatly reduced glide ratio compared to say a Cessna 172, so you definitely want to be thinking sharp! Even though simulated, this was a very nice job 😎
Piece o’cake! Try having one under 1000’ agl. You basically draw a semi-circle from each foot-peg in front of you back to your beam. That semi-circle is your landing zone.
Engine out simulation while training with CFI was she said, one of my best landings. Nice job and of course it should be a constant thought, be on the lookout for a spot to set down, should I experience an engine out.
I fly paraglider’s, no engine, can usually find thermals to get up but never fly anywhere where there isn’t a bail out, of course a paraglider can land in a back yard so LZ’s are much easier to find when your aircraft flies at 23 mph
@@AstroRocketShorts first off I would do a whole lot of research on reliability, stability. If it's a kit or pre-built and then of course cost. It's not something I would cheap out on. And finally any other things you can think about like storage and local spots to take off and land if you dont have the acreage. Getting it will be the easy part.
Just goes to show -- an airplane does not need and engine to fly. The engine is only necessary to establish and extend flight time. As anyone can clearly see -- the aircraft (w/o power) is a glider and may safely be brought to the ground w/o difficulty.
If you lose engine in a heli you don’t drop like a rock. You will continue to glide down until the friction slows the blades down, which will take a while. As Long as you aren’t super super high up, you should be fine.
My original Quicksilver had the KT100 Yamaha which would seize up about every tenth flight. It just worked it way too hard. Once I went to the Rotax 377 the motor has been trouble free. Dead stick in a Quickie is a non-event as long as you have something flat to land on very nearby.
I've been learning on an Ikarus C42 and page 1 of the pilot handbook says something along the lines that the engines used aren't aviation engines and do not have the same safety standards and can basically die at any time 🤣 fills you with confidence
@@UltralightAirplaneDriver been wanting to get my pilot licence pretty much my entire life, i wwasnt asking if the engine quit i was saying that quite and quit mean 2 different things. U mispelled the word quit in your title
When YOU kill the motor, you have just created a real emergency. It’s a very stupid thing to do. Fortunately, this amateur did not kill himself, or anyone else, Otherwise,his daughter could watch his last flight and grow up wondering, “Why Daddy?” How about showing us how to loop it, roll it and spin it! Keep the vids coming, I’m sure we’ll get to see one of your last stunts soon, Orville.
@@UltralightAirplaneDriver One more comment, if I may. Get a BRS. How old is that Dacron wingsail? Not sure if that is a Bombardier Rotax, but don’t worry about practicing dead stick landings, they’ll come soon enough.😂 I know my criticism may sound harsh, but I was a dealer in the early 80’s. Seen too many knucklehead friends of mine do their last stunt. Fly safe! Have fun.
@@UltralightAirplaneDriver My own personal rule is to never fly lower than the BRS can operate. The glide ratio of my machine is about 8:1. What ever you see over your toes is where your gonna land when it quits on you. What year is your machine?
