I really enjoyed this video. My favorite one on your channel so far. While I have my pilots license, I fly a paramotor; you should try it; many people say it’s life changing; low and slow, drop in on fields; no big deal if the engine goes out, just glide and land; run into the air and step back on earth; can mount it to a small trike if desired; amazing fun.
Holy f&£# mate.... You just made the kinetic energy point better than anyone I've ever seen in hundreds of different briefings and RUclips videos with that Poplar height vs VnE example giving it a clearer real world example than anything else too! Wow. Thank you. Bravo and happy piloting.
Enjoyed the video. It’s giving me an eye into the UltraLight world I didn’t have before. Thinking of going this way after loosing my airplane in Hendersonville after Helene. We had 7 feet in the hanger.
Wow, great flight. You tube interrupted my view of the trip mid flight with an ad for life insurance. Funny as,, keep doing what you do, enjoying the videos and all of the safety tips, kind regards, Glen and Di, Queensland Australia
Nice!👍👍 I had the same plane back in the mid 90s, flying around the coast out here in northeast MA. Lots of fun, but not too many places to be able to crop dust!😄😄
My father was a pilot and had a little personal "Piper". I moved to Australia after 9 years Army and was with the 2/502 Infantry 101st Airborne in Vietnam. When i came to the USA he'd take me up and told me; "I could wait for it to land" ... LOL He'd let me fly it and I have to admit it was fly one of my motorcycles in a 3 demoniacal space. Love it...Thanks
I think the best part is that 55 is considered fast. I love flying around that speed when low but in some aircraft that's not much above stall so you end up going 75etc and you don't have the same fun experience... nor as safe. Looks like such a fun ac to fly.
I think a slip is one of the most important maneuvers you can learn. How many new pilots are taught techniques to land an aircraft with flap failure. Luckily my dad got me a few lessons in a J3 cub many years ago and learned how important learning slips was. It’s not just important for flapless aircraft. It’s a great emergency skill to have in general.
@@CourtneyTakesFlight it totally makes sense. I wouldn't want to find myself in a situation where I needed to pop over a row of trees or an obstacle, only to realize I have no airspeed and will rely solely on my prop to get me out of there. That would be the time the engine fails and I have an accident.
@@CourtneyTakesFlight Take a look at what Google says for "wingover." Also, I commend your need for speed but in a drag monster like the MXL-2 if the engine quits it won't help you much. My first ultralight flight was with Bob Essel in a Quicksilver in Ohio in 1994-ish btw.
A nice bit of fun flying around. Speed is a bit subjective, for an Ultralight that was fast but having been in a Tornado fighter jet at 50ft over the sea at .9mach I always look at my flyng now as being in 1st gear :-)
I used to have fun with my ultralight back in the day. I sold it many years ago b/c I did not like trailering it around and assembling and disassembling it. If I got back into it again, what pointers can I get on locating a hanger to keep it? Any and all replies appreciated!
Slip indicator, it shows you that you are in coordinated flight….it should be blowing straight back, if not your plane is not you need to add rudder in one direction or the other.
Very nice! I’m a brand new owner of a Quicksilver MX II Sprint. Just wondering what that electronic gadget is you have mounted there on the left side???
You got cazone's there! I like you commenting regarding speed and what's going on around you. First time visiting your channel. 5600rpm what engine is it? yep if you're low and not landing you need speed on. however at height you can be closer to stall because you got recovery air under you. Courtney where is this? I notice your deaf but have a sport license. You don't need a radio for that? So you're somewhere in the states. I'm in West Palm Beach pretty crowded air space around here but I'm further West in the county. Too bad I'm too old to fly!
I hope you will at some point get a better camera. Your flights and subsequent videos are awesome, possibly the best channel of its kind - but the resolution of the recordings not so. Thank you for sharing!
The camera doesn't make great videos, but rather the camera operator and video editor. Cutting edge cameras in the wrong hands frequently result in boring videos. You're welcome to send me a brand new GoPro though.
Vne is the never exceed airspeed. If you go pass it, components could start breaking off. If you do exceed it and safety land, your airplane may very well be damaged.
Haha I thought I recognized that airport. I fly my paramotor out of there and live right in Newberg. Been heavily debating a craft more like this. The paramotor is tough on the body. What's a discovery flight running for $?
You could take a discovery flight. I recommend you contact Captain Drake's Family Aerial Adventures in Southern Oregon about a discovery flight. I don't know what they charge specifically but $150 is in the ballpark.
OMG didn't anyone ever teach you that power controls altitude and elevator controls airspeed, you must be lucky to be alive! LOL /S I have more years of saving ahead of me before starting on my life-long goal of building a kit plane or two. But I have occasionally given some serious thought to buying something like the MXL-2 that you demonstrated before then. If I wouldn't have moved from Farm Country to the city long ago, I think I would have one for sure.
That was my 1st experimental. Couple videos of it on RRH RUclips. They're old ones I havent posted for a long time. I got rid of that and the then bought a challenger two, sold it bought a challenger one, Then me and my flying buddy Mike Robbins modified it into a light sport plane. , was mounting the engine and then life happened, had to sell it never even got to fly it. Put $10000 and 3 years of working on it.
@@CourtneyTakesFlight I get that it is legal. I also know my neighboring ranches and that they have two reactions to very low flying planes, ultralites and powered parachutes, it is annoyance and anger. I have a 1200' runway on my property that I stopped using because everyone around me seems to think that they own the sky above their property. I was wondering if you have had any negative feedback from your low flights?
How many hp in your engine? It seems kinda weak to me but I am only comparing to other videos--I have no plane yet. If you had a 130lb friend with you it would have been difficult if not impossible to fly as you did in this video, right?
52 HP. As with all airplanes, more HP means more weight. It's always a compromise. With my current engine, I have 430 lbs payload capacity - people and fuel.
I wish you safe landing. But looking the video first what came into my head - "Hey, look what I can do!!!". As one carpenter said: "I know safety rules as my two last fingers". Good look.
@@CourtneyTakesFlight I had to do it as a crop sprayer in Southern Africa and also under much lower phone lines and at Pawnee speeds. It was routine - not an emergency.
@@XRP747E crop dusters are different. They've the training and experience to do this, plus their airplanes have safety devices, such as blades to slice through wires if they accidentally hit one.
@@CourtneyTakesFlight During that period in South Africa and Zimbabwe, there was NO specific training for crop spraying. You learned on the job. The biggest dangers may not be what you think - plus observational techniques need to be understood about not readily apparent obstacles. I was thinking about that as I watched you low flying in your interesting video. Flying at lower speeds definitely reduces the chances of an accident.
It could happen at any altitude. For instance, you could be hit with a sideways gust on an otherwise uneventful landing approach and before you get a grasp on what happened a wingtip is ready to hit the ground.
Do under an overpass. Piece of cake, just like a touch and go landing, ignore the brigde, in a matter of seconds your through and you're done. I suggest going with traffic.
@@CourtneyTakesFlight Really, why? You fly under clouds all the time? Bridge, cloud, power lines, another airplane, the sun moon and stars. Makes no difference to an aerobatic pilot .
Alright. . . . nice flight! The question is. . . . .can you take that bird & take off & land from a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier??? I wannuh see ya do a "CAT & TRAP" !!! If you can do that, then I'll subscribe to the channel!
@Courtney Takes Flight Lol🤣👍🏻! I was in the U.S. Navy as a jet engine mechanic & airframe mech as well. Have alot of experiance with aircraft carrier flight ops, launch & recoveries. Ive always wanted to see an ultralight airplane land & take off aboard a carrier flight deck at the landing airstrip section of the flight deck. " CAT" is the aircraft launch sequence & "TRAP" is the landing with the aircraft tail hook & flight deck arresting cable. My Uncle's aircraft carrier is a museum now out there in San Diego, California--U.S.S. MIDWAY CV-41! You could try that one, but a word of caution ⚠️. . . . .the deck is fouled with static display aircraft. . . . .you still game???🤔🤔🤔🤭😁😉
Hi. Ihad studying this aircrafts for some time. They really seem very fragile, tubing and cloth. Better avoid flying them at all cost. My very best regards, you are fantastic pilot!
Wow, there is a lot of play in the joystick. The pilot had to pull the joystick way back to take off, then way forward to its neutral point. It looks like a very forgiving plane to fly with all that free play.
It's not much free play, but rather, an optical illusion. Most pilots have the stick's "neutral" position further forward than mine. I moved mine back, which means I have to pull further back to climb. In flight, it's pretty precise without "Freeplay"
@@CourtneyTakesFlight Thanks for this clarification. Superb flying by the way. I let drones go on all my aerial adventures since I'm too chicken to leave the ground.
Question- Do your aircraft include a ballistic parachute? Have you ever heard of them being deployed in the event of an emergency? It seems to me, you are flying too low for these things to be effective. Thoughts?
@@masteringsecuritymanagemen4803 You have to be about 500+ ft AGL, 1,000 feet preferably for the parachute to work fully. I rarely fly below 1,000 except when I'm rolling video.
