      Many constructors of the Flying Flea lost their lives before the kit was banned. Mostly because of unsuitable engine choice. It was originally intended to use a small motorcycle engine. Also the airflow between the wing and tailplane was disturbed when in a steep decent, causing spiral dives into the ground. You need big balls to fly one of these, that's for sure.

    The classic Pou de Ciel designed by Mnsr Henri Mignet back in the early 1930's. I believe most of the ones that were built crashed and either seriously injured or killed their pilots. My late father and my uncle were going to build one until they heard just how dangerous they were, they built a boat instead. Yes, they fly, but in certain flight conditions like stalls etc, they become uncontrollable and nothing the pilot does will make it recover, with predictable results. I understand that for a while, the French aviation authorities grounded the design until improvements were made. But as they say, mud sticks and nobody wanted to build one. This one looks really nice.

    This is a great plane! One important element that everyone who flies/drives/operates any vehicle with safety belts must know is that ALL shoulder straps must be anchored ABOVE your shoulders! If they are anchored below your shoulders then in a crash, or even a profound stop, the straps will at the least compress your spine. At worst, it could crush your spine.
    So please always be certain to have them anchored higher than your shoulders. If your vehicle doesn’t have any structural elements that you can anchor them to up high, then you might need to add a roll bar that can raise the anchor points.

    The first design was the HM-14 by Henri Mignet, from France, it was in 1934. Henri Mignet's aim was a cheap easy to build and safe plane. He was an Open-source pioneer and he offered the drawings in a book published in 1934. By comparison with the Ford T (1910-1920) named "le Pou-de- la- route" journalists called this plane "le Pou-du-ciel" Pou= Louse.... 'Sky Louse'... But in English it was translated as the Flying Flea, well a flea is another kind of tiny insect, une puce, in French. The flight took place in Cerfontaine, Belgium. Built by Pascal Recour a carpentry teacher who spent about ten years on this project, achieved in 2008. The engine here is a modified Volkswagen Beetle engine.

      i do think its a nice plane... but could do with some colouring... i do like how basic it is though. all that stuff you can probably buy at the local hardware store... also the engine could probably be replaced with a lawn mower engine as you'd only need the propeller to spin at around 4,500 rpm to probably fly that little beauty which can easily be done with the right gearing. as for the F22 raptor with americans saying "Our F22 raptor is the best most agile air craft ever made!".... so is that why in war games where they test planes, the Euro fighter which was made in the 1980s kept up with everything it threw out and was also able to out run the F22 raptor? also the F22 raptor may have vertical lift capabilities but still takes a fucking long time to climb up for 30,000 ft, the Euro fighter typhoon only needs a short run way and can get up to that in about 5 - 10 seconds as it just goes straight up because its agile and fast enough to do so as oppose to the F22 of getting to that height in 20 - 30 seconds... then theres the fighting capability... F22 raptor is specialised in plane vs plane (air to air) combat, where as Euro fighter is for everything (Air vs Air, Air vs land and Air vs sea), then the F22 raptor can fly about 20ft above the floor without any problems of crash landing which is good, give the plane a biscuit, but the Euro fighter which is almost 30 years older has been known at air displays to fly about 3 - 4 ft off the ground at high speeds and sometimes if the pilot is mad enough can fly upside down with the tail just 2 inches off the floor... so F22 raptor... over priced piece of shit. basically all it is, is just stealth panels with an engine which americans keep saying we'll never be able to get a plane that can beat the F22 raptor at flying in stealth, but they're wrong there as im sure the Euro fighter if we replaced all its panels with stealth panels which can be done easily, would easily beat it as most people when they spot a Euro fighter, its already about 500miles away from where you saw it. as for the F22, because its so big, you can always see it and hear it.. hell even a spit fire would beat it or one of the french planes from WWI because they were able to fly extremely low at slow speeds, so slow that the F22 raptor would be going to fast to get a lock on, or if it slowed down to match their speed, it would drop as its too heavy. so basically all america has done is made it then claimed its the best because its american and nothing in america ever fails (apart from corvette, xbox, microsoft, Chevrolet, hummer and a few other things).. nothing from america fails according to americans... they even claim their abrahams to be the best tank ever but russia has them beat at that and basically any british, french or german guy knows that if theres a Big tank sat firing and you want to sneak up on them, simply get people to sneak up on it while its in artillery firing mode, don't open fire on it but simply, take a grenade, sneak around the front, wait till is fired a round, pop the pin and roll the grenade down the barrel, then run like fuck.

      ***** What the hell substance are YOU on, pal? Your grasp of reality and aircraft design suggests that you sit in a blacked-out room 24/7 with six computers all running, playing video games... you take a break only when the daily delivery of pizza & coke & speed turns up. To avoid the inconvenience of 'comfort' breaks you could always wear incontinence pads.
      1. No capable pilot would fly inverted with tail "2 inches off the deck" because the slightest turbulence or misjudgement would turn him & his machine into a smoking black streak along the ground. Any military fighter pilot caught pulling a stunt like that would be stripped of his wings, grounded. It's all about economics -- a hugely expensive aircraft, and a pilot who cost millions to train.
      2. Your propeller RPM is wild guesswork. If the mill is a modified VW (?) with laminated timber prop, it probably runs around 2,500 to 3,000 rpm. Even bloody lawnmowers don't run at 4,500 rpm you turkey.
      3. I'll bet the Euro fighter CANNOT do 30,000 ft vertical climb in 5-10 seconds. You really must get off the funny weed, pal. Even with anti-G suit, any pilot strapped to a ship with 3000 to 6000 ft PER SECOND vertical climb performance would be unable to breathe due the G forces involved. But for lack of fuel, that acceleration would put him into orbit.
      Be credible. Check your facts before you think of posting. Or stay silent.

    It looks as though the first Vogelfrit was a tail dragger, whereas the next iteration is the same aircraft with tricycle gear. I have great respect for those that build and fly their own aircraft. As a pilot, call it cowardice or call it wisdom, I would NEVER fly anything that I built with my own two hands. Fine effort sir!

  • @Peter-zz9ur
    @Peter-zz9ur 4 года назад +2

    This is a slightly developed Flying Flea, a well-known deathtrap of a home-built aircraft from the 1930's. The two-wing layout is unstable under flight conditions in which the forward wing 'blankets' the rear wing, causing unrecoverable loss of control. There is no real reason to have two wings, just the inventor's quirkiness. People never learn.

    • @FrenchCrow
      @FrenchCrow 4 года назад

      _"No real reason"_ besides that plane can't stall and can still be manoeuvred in 45° parachutal descent...
      There were only few crashes with the very first flea when it was badly centered therefore unstable (1934's HM14), and the formula was quickly fixed. Look at the heir of Mignet's flying fleas : ruclips.net/video/AfDQIVmRO0s/видео.html

      These are actually really hard to stall. The front wing angle of incidence is higher that the rear wing, so it stalls first and drops the nose before the rear wing can stall.

      designed by henri Mignet who was perhaps the father of home built aircraft.
      He wrote a book and provided plans.Some builders died...... In a dive the top wing can blanket the tail with a loss of control.
      Some builders were saved because there were few engines available (in the early 30s0 which could drag the machine into the air.
