Nice to see the green fields of home. I’m one of those glider pilots you mentioned. Please continue this practice. Every flight should be a learning flight. Stalling is a fact of life for a thermalling glider. Stall recovery practice a must. Rope breaks on tow. Also regular practice items. Stay sharp and never get complacent. Thanks for posting.
Thanks Gary. I do try and make a point most flights if practicing something weather it be steep turns, slow flight, stall recovery or practiced forced landing and I am always wary of complacency. The 12 minute things sounds like a challenge and it would be worth repeating the exercise in thermos conditions.
2:51 I guess 2.5 minutes. Edit: OK, you are gliding nicely, I'll say 5 minutes now. Edit 2: Well I was way off ... thought about 3m/s drop but your glide angle is way better than my estimate. Need to have a look into microlights. I live in Switzerland so that may be not as easy to get like you folks in the UK. Thanks for sharing this! cheers, Robert
Hi Robert. You are definitely not alone. A lot of people think these things just fall out of the sky if the engine stops. That's why I made the video. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment.
Yep I concur gliding is awesome. My best flight this year was from Devon to North Wales coast in 5 hrs. Quicker than by car ! I learnt to fly in a weight shift hanglider and I kept seeing sailplanes flying much higher and faster than me so that's what I did after 10 years of weight shift I've been gliding for 30 years . Fell out of love with wind in my face so the comfort of a sealed cockpit is just sublime and no noisy fan !!!
Wow, 5Hrs is an impressive duration. Longer than my bladder could handle! I do still enjoy that wind in your face feeling although the lure of an enclosed cockpit in winter is pretty hard to resist! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Safe flying.
Nice! Greetings Paulie. I'm also a Honda rider and a newly minted sub70 pilot. ( ultralight here in the US.) I did an engine out in the Northwing trainer I was flying from 3000'. It comes down quite a bit quicker than my Adam for sure. Flying tomorrow evening if the weather cooperates.
Hi Ed, it seems like a lot of trike pilots also ride motorcycles. I guess the two are similar in a lot of ways. I’m also hopefully going to fly today. Weather in the UK has been bad this month but today is looking good. 👍
Great video Paul. What an awesome glide ratio these aircraft have, if you had a thermal or two you'd still be up there 😉🤔 Best take your mum up again and get her back into the 'amazing' category 😀
I estimated between 5 to 10 mins and you were bang in the middle.😊 I fly RC models of every description and gliding is the best, I came to that conclusion after flying powered models for years and one day I thought I'd just practice dead stick after a full climb out as far as my eyesight allowed, I was amazed how much nicer the thing flew without the torque and vibration from the engine so next model was a powered glider ( folding prop ), love silence and challenge of finding thermals. I then went to dlg ( discus launch glider ) and that was even better, , 200ft launches just by hand and then hunt for thermals to climb out I had trial plane, glider and helicopter lessons too but the cost was high so I stuck to RC for now. One day though...
Hi Nigel. I too started my love of flying with RC flying before I finally made the big jump about 5 years ago. If you get the chance try full size, I would urge you to have a go. It isn’t as expensive as you might think especially with the introduction of sub 70kg aircraft. Oh and my aircraft is much nicer to fly engine off.
@@paulieb796 Thanks, I will look into it, I defo like the idea of flying micros rather than enclosed cockpits too, I like to feel the wind in my face, I ride motorcycles too, ebikes are my latest craze being silent cheap to run and can go anywhere and pretty safe.
I also preferred rc gliders. Haven't flown one for a few years but I really enjoyed the scale stuff - Pat Teakle ASW20 and Salto. Looked wonderful off the slope. Later got into PSS and built a number of Brian Taylor plans. Favourite was a P47 with wing section changed to Eppler 374 for gliding better, plus 20 oz lead up front in place of an engine. Flew great off a decent slope
Very nice demonstration Paul, second landing was much smoother. I have the same wing fox13tl and engine on my trike but never tried to have engine off on landing. Interesting.
Thanks for watching and your comment. I found that once I got over the initial apprehension of turning the engine off, I actually quite enjoy it now. Give it a go. 👍
Fantastic video Paul I'm thinking of learning to fly microlights it's just taking that first step lol I work on a farm I've got a 300 meter strip and hanger if I want ..love your vids.
I remember when I took the first step. I was kicking myself for not doing it sooner. I’d love to have my own strip and hanger. Maybe when I win the lottery. Thanks for your comments. 👍
The constant engine failure practise during training really does pay off. I trained on a Flash 2A and once I got my license had loss of power, poss carb icing, one day forcing a field landing without any drama. More recently, flying ssdr in the UK, the prop and pulley sheared off after only 15hrs on the engine. Training kicked in again and landed ok, if a little annoyed, lol. They do glide ok, if a little like a brick, but perfectly controllable. That's why pilots are always scanning landing options - just in case.
Wow. Bet that got your attention when your prop sheered off. Lucky it didn’t throw anything through the wing. Glad you lived to tell the tale. Safe flying bud. 👍
When I did my instructor training in Portugal, the concept of 'loss of power' rather than 'engine failure' made sense as the engine may be fine but no good without a prop, lol. Likewise, when considering forced landings we were encouraged to not think just 'field' and size/shape/surface/obstacles etc, but rather to consider all options which may include roads for example if no fields are suitable. Great fun. I was never too concerned about being able to land if it went quiet, lots of ongoing practise etc. It was more the inconvenience of being stuck in the middle of nowhere that bugged me.
In terms of the stall, it is very benign and more of a mush than a stall. Very quick to recover from as well. My aircraft cost about £13k new 4 years ago. I think they have gone up a bit since then. Running costs are very low though. Have a look at www.flylight.co.uk/
You're so right how many people think you fall out of the sky without an engine. I'm enjoying my journey learning to fly and can't wait to be in my peabee.
Good evening Paul , fine video and explanation . I have Aeros Trike with a Corsair-Air Black Bull and also a Fox 13 TL wing . What type of 2 stroke oil do you use and which mixture ? Happy flying , Reiner from Sweden .
I’ve got to be honest and say I don’t know the quoted glide ratio of my wing. I know how it feels in the glide but I don’t know the numbers. The manual doesn’t give a glide ratio. I’d love to have a go at gliding but am still clinging to the safety blanket that an engine gives. Maybe one day. Would make a good video. 👍
Excellent video. Type 2 people are just uneducated. They assume the wirse of everything. I was a bit of on my estimate of 6 mins. If you were flying when it was thermic, it might have lasted 10 minutes. Looking forward to getting started myself. A bit more weight to lose and two new hips and I'll start my PPL-M journey.
Is it CorsAir Black Bull engine? Looks very much like mine, I have it on my paramotor. I had a series of problems and in-flight failures with my engine, so the engine-out training seems totally legit. I never did it - every time was for real.
Hi. Yes it is the Corsair Black Bull. Mine has been totally reliable. Only had one genuine engine out in flight due to a perished primer bulb so not really the engines fault. 👍
Yep. That’s about right. I could probably get it down to less than that by flying at best glide speed which is just a bit slower than hands if trim speed.
@paulieb796 I've been into sailplanes for years and honestly, that sink rate of yours is not to be sniffed at. A 2 seat glass sailplane with 17m wingspan has about half that, so I am impressed!
Wow, great flying. I was 2 minutes out, thought 5 minutes and you got 7. Would bloody love to give it a go. Was considering gliding but wondering if I should do microlighting and only use the engine for a launch. Given you a sub and will be watching more. Take care and fly safe.
Thanks for the Sub Alan. These aircraft make great soaring machines. In fact FlyLight make a similar machine called an Adam with which they pair with a much lighter engine (called the atom I think). This comes with a retractable landing gear for even greater efficiency. You have the best of both worlds, a great soaring glider with the peace of mind of an engine if you run out of lift.
About 40 years ago. it took me about 25 minutes to come back down from 10,000 feet when I ran out of fuel., in my weight shift trike. Aah, blissful silence, a wonderful flight, so I'd guess about 10 minutes from 3000.
There is something enjoyable about the peace and quiet that no engine gives. I might have been able to extend the time in the air if I’d flown at best glide speed. Might need to try again! 👍
Charly Golf is now on display, hanging from the ceiling of the Lakeland Motor Museum, I keep thinking I'll find a local instructor and book a trial lesson as my license is long since expired. Soft landings. @@paulieb796
I’ve had engine failures in cars, motorbikes and aircraft. The aircraft variety is definitely the most “interesting”. Thanks for watching and commenting. Paul. 👍
If my Dragonfly engine ever stopped, I would land on any one of the safe landing sites that I always keep in safe gliding distance. Then I would land with the engine producing zero thrust all the way past touchdown as I do on every flight.
I cant think of any class of aircraft I would rather be flying in the event of the engine going quiet! I too always have my engine out field selected. Its a good practice to get into. Safe flying.
One aspect of ultralight flying that doesn't appear to be heavily promoted is the stall/landing speed. If the selected emergency spot has hidden ditches or lumps, it's much safer to hit them at around 20 mph than 60!@@paulieb796
My estimate was 4 minutes so I was way out!! It seems most flexwing pilots are also motorcyclists. The two are very similar in a lot of ways. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Love your RUclips name
Thanks for your comment. I really appreciate it. I have only really started taking RUclips semi seriously this summer so it is early days, but the subscriber number is heading in the right direction (slowly). Feel free to share the channel which would really help me out. More videos in the pipeline if it ever stops raining in the UK!!
The only thing about those little airplanes that would bother me is the engine noise. I'd love to build a human powered aircraft. Maybe a bicycle with a version of that wing you have on yours? a little pedalling and it should fly. Only problem is to get it up there 🤔
I think you'd have to pedal pretty hard. The human powered aircraft I have seen weigh a fraction of my wing and trike and the cyclists/pilots have been knackered after a very short flight. The engine noise isn't really that bad as we wear headsets which remove a lot of the engine noise. Thanks for watching.
Turn the engine off! Now you have a Hangglider! All you have to do is turn high onto base leg, Have a longerbase leg. Then still with good hight on turn onto final leg useing the turn to get at the right hight. Bingo, your down safe & sound.

Since making that video, I’ve changed the wing. I need to do this again with my new wing. I think it will be a big closer to 3 minutes now! 👍
@@paulieb796 Different aspect ratio now (ie faster but less glide ratio) ? Will love to see what you get on your next powered off test landing.

What is the price of this setup
The two GoPro set up I use at the minute with mounts probably cosy in the region of £600.
Lovely video beautifully filmed couple of questions can the wing fold or collapse ? how easy is it to stall ? initial price of a machine ?
Hi John. Yes the wing does fold back. Very easy to do. Takes about 10 minutes. I’m hoping to do a video soon to show how easy and quick it is.
In terms of the stall, it is very benign and more of a mush than a stall. Very quick to recover from as well. My aircraft cost about £13k new 4 years ago. I think they have gone up a bit since then. Running costs are very low though. Have a look at www.flylight.co.uk/

What is the glide ratio of your aircraft?
You should come gliding sometime.
I’ve got to be honest and say I don’t know the quoted glide ratio of my wing. I know how it feels in the glide but I don’t know the numbers. The manual doesn’t give a glide ratio. I’d love to have a go at gliding but am still clinging to the safety blanket that an engine gives. Maybe one day. Would make a good video. 👍
Depends on the type, but weightshift trike will typically have min sink rate of around 400ft/minute and lift/drag ratio about 7 or 8 to 1.
Beautiful glass off time of day

I missed my guess by 10.87 seconds. My gyro doesn't last anywhere near that long...3:1 brings you down fast.
I guess you have to be on your game if your engine quits?
I guessed 400ft/min descent rate. So, 3,000ft gives 7m 30s. Not bad, IISSM,WS.
A very well educated guess 👍

Sounds interesting. I'm definitely curious about this way of flying. For now, all I can afford is my drone 🙂@@kusz2704
The fact you know you can get it wrong is why you'd do this and survive. Seems pretty safe tho, conditions provided
Wait... So you don't just abandon the plane? I thought you had to jump out and parachute to the ground.
It would take me considerably less than 7 minutes to land if I jumped out! No parachute!! 👍
Turn the engine off! Now you have a Hangglider! All you have to do is turn high onto base leg, Have a longerbase leg. Then still with good hight on turn onto final leg useing the turn to get at the right hight. Bingo, your down safe & sound.

all i do is go as high as pos and switch off, the only way to fly is unpowered,

well, I was close 7 min 10 sec
Closest so far. 👍
you land,,, hard or softly lol
Prefer a soft landing if I can manage it. 👍

Good guess. I was way out with a guess of about 4 minutes!!
9 minutes...
might have made 9 without the height killing final... great drop rate on that wing. im going to carry out the same test on my 912
4 minutes

I hate irrelevant road trip intros.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback. 👍

8 minutes
Pretty close. Much closer to my initial guess which was about 4 minutes!!
