The first outside loop in a Phantom was in 1984 in Lake Elsinore Ca. by a pilot named Jack Britton . He later produced the variant named Hurricane . He finally died testing a Hurricane on floats (doing aerobatics) at the Colorado river in 1989.
I do Aerobatics in my Ultralight and I accept the risks. Fully well know what can happen. I understand "there are old pilots and there are bold pilots but there are no old bold pilots" "It's better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way" Alan Watts
Impressive as these stunts may be, if I were to attempt aerobatics, it would be on an aircraft designed for aerobatic stresses, not on an ultralight. Hope he has a ballistic chute.
И сваливание совсем на малой скорости, и управляемость шикарная! SuperPhantom здесь - пилотажный одноместный вариант, не так ли? Наверное и буксировщик дельтапланов? Мал, к сожалению, видеоряд по нему. Жаль! Хороша машина! Как легко и быстро отрывается на разбеге. И скороподъёмность впечатляет. Вполне можно сравнивать с Dragonfly.
Hi ya Ebyars Love your fly'n and videos thanks What make a Phantom a SuperPhantom? What kind of carbs are you using? Do you have bigger wires? take care Bob
As a general rule most ultralights cant. The phantom is rated +9g -4.4g so its aerobatic capable. You'd probably experience G-LOC or redout yourself before you broke the airplane (just guessing tho... consult wikipedia entry on g force)
Ed, he is actually pretty safe. The aircraft has BRS, should it break. But what he was doing is nowhere near the aircraft's structural limits. You ride in cars? You have a greater chance of injury than this pilot had. Here is a great video of the fun that can be had in a ultralight aircraft. Though this one is getting quite dangerous. Little room for error a few times. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-81XqGyZVRjw.html
