Thanks Terry. Its unfortunate if it happened but if you do the right things it's safe enough. Fortunately I had a great instructor, and I was close to the field, so this was text book. Shame I didn't land on my feet at the end but hey...can't win them all :)
Yes you got it. Throttle up to go up, back off to come down. There are ways to get down quicker by using turns and performing "wing overs" but Power is your main means of determining if you go up more or down more...generally.
@@adamthorpe1 Great, thanks mate. I'm intending doing the 12 day course next year down this way at Westbury. I just found out yestarday too, that I live right neer the parajet motor manufacturers lol. Stopped at a job and there was 2 fellas rigging up and taking off. I think they work there.
@@terryteed1903 Nice. I would definitely recommend it, you won't regret it. However, be prepared for the course to take longer than you think and try and do it in the summer months. The weather offers more opportunities to train, and the daylight hours are longer which help too. Good Luck...and make sure you vlog it so we can all watch your progress :)
Just out of interest, what is the reason you are using your d lines for steering? I have never seen that being taught or advised by instructors I have met.
If you have a problem of some kind and for whatever reason you are unable to use your brakes effectively, pulling the D lines is an option. It kind of does the same thing. So if its an emergency, its an alternative way of steering…if you absolutely need to.
Well done Adam... very calm under pressure, great stuff.
Fantastic. You didnt flap, and like you said, experience. Well done.

What county do you fly in Adam? Looking to start myself and enjoying your UK based content - Thankyou.
Hi mostly the Cumbria, Lancashire and Cheshire area in the Northwest of England 👍
Interested to know how you control pitch? Is it purely a power thing?
Yes you got it. Throttle up to go up, back off to come down. There are ways to get down quicker by using turns and performing "wing overs" but Power is your main means of determining if you go up more or down more...generally.

@@adamthorpe1 I see, thanks for the quick reply, hope your flying journey is going well. 👍
@@waylingtons cheers you too! Back in the air soon 👍
@@adamthorpe1 yeah, Friday hopefully 🤞
Good job 👍 Do you know why the engine quit?
Cheers. The spark plug and mixture. A shiny new plug and a tweak on the mixture cured the issue.
@@adamthorpe1 I was wondering why didn't you try to restart the engine in the air?
Посадка, конечно, так себе. И я не увидел wind sock. Ну а в целом нормально.
So what was wrong with the motor
It ended up being just a dirty spark plug
What kind of engine is it
