I was lucky enough to be there that day to witness this first hand and this was amazing to see. Hugh, the pilot, is a fearless individual and a very interesting character. Good job Jim on the video.
This was insane to watch, comical, beautiful, and awesome. After two issues I was worried that they'd find the third issue when he was in the air, but nope, just watched an inflatable boat fly higher than I've ever thought I'd see and it was amazing.
Hughie this was BEAUTIFUL - and the perfect sequel to that demonstration of flying-boat technique in your famous all-night performance in that hotel room in Bangkok 10 years ago. The Hugh Harrison Machine continues to scale the heights.......
He almost lost it on take off.. as soon as the boats lifts out of the water, you HAVE to pull back the bar.. He almost stalled because he kept the bar outward.. Dude WTF !!
sorry but WTFAAAAAK IS THIS DUDE DOING???? I mean, dont know who he is or what he does but clearly he has no idea what hes doing here. Crashing into some ones boat at the ramp, pulling up way to fast at take off and getting a prop stike. WHAT THE HELL IS UP HERE????
😂😂😂😂I know right, man would have crashed they would have still been playing the music, just like when he hit the boat it was all bad from the beginning.
Yooo now you have me howling 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣!! When he finally took off I felt like I was in the boat though! He had me feeling like I was the one flying 😂😂😂😂😂
Angle of climb was very excessive ! Ease it into the air, is not a rocket ! Let her climb slowly....or you will stall and crash ! That was very close call !.
I think he's far more intelligent than yourself on the subject. As a paragliding pilot, who HAS flown with hang gliders, do you even know anything about the sport or science? Man's been a pioneer in the sport for nearly 30 years
balast was full....allot of extra weight and all that weight rushed to the back at takeoff (plus hitting the prop)close your freaking balast cap next time after emptying it ....
All i can say is rubish, total careless to him and others with something not to be taken as a joke. if i could give it a 1000 unlikes i would, dont know where they let this maniac fly without knowing how too.
I have one for sale.. Email me at michaelsheldon1963@gmail.com. I'll send you the pics.. Engine only has 2 hrs. I had they engine recertified at 80 hrs.
So, I'm thinking you might have wanted to have more parah gliding experience. Possibly starting with some more tandem instruction first. I also wonder if the cord of the hand Glider wing is set a little too sharp. Only cause it looked like a struggle to keep it from pitching up to steeply... I just watched another video where the other guys machine had rudders on the bk of his pontoons & his guide wires appeared to be much tighter. Otherwise, I was very impressed with your first flight & your reaction time; if you weren't so fast in corrcting, you most likely would have been in trouble there. In comparison, unlike yourself ( i.e., I think I would have required a cloating change if that was me...)
Not that I dislike you - BuT - The 1st. thing that you did was 2 nearly beach the boat portion of the ride on the ramp - Then you ran into that poor woman’s boat without slowing down - - - I mean that you could barely control the Craft on the water - Let’s see how you do in flight . . . IMMEDIATELY upon transition to the air you hadn’t realized that the boat was haff fulla water. ?.?.? Not a bad way to go go, just don’t take a passenger. . . Rename this Video “What Knot 2- Do” - - -
Bad kinda scary! Definitely Not A pilot! This man should NOT be allowed to operate A FIB or any aircraft! I hope he either gets proper training or sells the FIB to someone safer!
Fucking terrible music, even worse editing, cut away from video at times you really wanted to see what was coming next, commentary was abysmal. Just a bad video on what should have been really interesting and enjoyable.
Friend: Where do you see yourself in 30 years?
Me: flying a boat.
Treasure planet
That isn't bad 🌊 though

Ready for your airplane single engine land.
This was insane to watch, comical, beautiful, and awesome. After two issues I was worried that they'd find the third issue when he was in the air, but nope, just watched an inflatable boat fly higher than I've ever thought I'd see and it was amazing.
Balls dude...They say you've never really lived till you've almost died. Props my man.
Luv this guy, knows how to stretch the truth. I crashed 2 maybe 300 feet, now he are nose diving at 500ft
i don't think he's stretching the truth though, as a fellow pilot, I can see it in his eyes
@@TrueHelpTVwasn’t throwing shade. Was having a lil fun

Warning to kids about the dangers of smoking: this man is 33 years old
Hahahaha best!!
Good one🤣
It's Balls not drugs
not sure how i ended up here..but cool
He almost lost it on take off.. as soon as the boats lifts out of the water, you HAVE to pull back the bar.. He almost stalled because he kept the bar outward.. Dude WTF !!
This was beautiful, such a golden hearted guy. Thank you for this video
Your one crazy gringo !! BUT that was awesome my hat off to you Sir. 👍👍
This is badass man!! I'm curious to see if you improve and upgrade! btw, saw your clip in on TV, on RTM, sweet!!
Have you ever heard of water plane? I’m just kidding this is the most insane thing I’ve ever seen on RUclips
any landing that doesn't kill anyone is a good landing. i want one of these.
sorry but WTFAAAAAK IS THIS DUDE DOING???? I mean, dont know who he is or what he does but clearly he has no idea what hes doing here. Crashing into some ones boat at the ramp, pulling up way to fast at take off and getting a prop stike. WHAT THE HELL IS UP HERE????
It's called American Freedom baybay
Truly a brave individual!! My heart was racing from the left the water until he returned
What a sensitive person you must be
After my EXTENSIVE research that took me hundreds of seconds, I'm curious how you went about the attachment points to the boat. DIY, or a kit?
Ayo 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and the music still seemlessly playing through it all has me howling 💀😭 the balls on that man tho haha
😂😂😂😂I know right, man would have crashed they would have still been playing the music, just like when he hit the boat it was all bad from the beginning.
@@roderickwinslow8642 😭🤣🤣
@@bendlor southpark need to make a show dedicated to this guy🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Yooo now you have me howling 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣!! When he finally took off I felt like I was in the boat though! He had me feeling like I was the one flying 😂😂😂😂😂
Wonderful. Not surprised he smokes, looks like living to a ripe old age is not on his to-do list : )
Speechless for more than one reason, but this video speaks for itself, glad it ended safely.
That was pretty freakin cool man
That was great!!!
So this is what Nick Nolte is up to before "Angel has Fallen".. Ok.. Cool!
He's pulling it up like an SR71. WTF dude, take it easy, it's a rubber duck that flies a little at best. Keep it together for god sake!!
I got here looking how to get my dinghy on plane.. loll
interesting, I got here trying to learn how to make mine fly so I can pull bitches on a dinghy lol
Dude this was 5 year ago.. and i just found the small clip of this on facebook yesterday😂😂
I just started giggling when i saw your title and thumbnail. Awesome!
Curious what the wing setup cost...
Very entertaining, bravo.
I hope I can end up like the guy in the opening one day, god I need on these things
what an awesome guy what an awesome guy!
this was crazy he’s a daredevil
Took my breath away with that cinematography 😂
I would LOVE to read* those 26 pages, and hangout with this man for a weekend
*Can he adopt me as his grandson and let me fly the ol' girl ='D
Flight Sim .... Here I am
Good bounce* im gonna row out 6' tied to yonder
this is insane!
FANTASTIC!!! 😂
Hows Hugh these days?? Still inventing and/or in search of how far to push the envelope?
With a title like that …… earned a sub lets see whatcha doing bro ? Doesnt look overly air friendly . Or aerodynamic
From where i can buy this boat
Angle of climb was very excessive ! Ease it into the air, is not a rocket ! Let her climb slowly....or you will stall and crash ! That was very close call !.
The most appropriate answer I can give this is Yes.
You need landing gear just in case yk?
That guy almost killed himself but I don't think he is smart enough to realize it.
I think he's far more intelligent than yourself on the subject. As a paragliding pilot, who HAS flown with hang gliders, do you even know anything about the sport or science? Man's been a pioneer in the sport for nearly 30 years
Jesus christ what a mad man 😂😂😂😂
I think the law of averages is catching up there, best he hand over to a younger pilot.
Dont taxi down wind in strong gusts. It Will flipp over.😁
..... Your friends are cooler than mine
Cletus?
😂😂
One for the guy whose exit is inn cite
I get rugburn , No More
Can I have that?
Your nuckin futs.
very well
balast was full....allot of extra weight and all that weight rushed to the back at takeoff (plus hitting the prop)close your freaking balast cap next time after emptying it ....
Your crazy

Tell that to the Wright Brothers. No risk, no reward.
James Unsworth Wright brothers weren’t even the first to fly a powered aircraft. Santos Demont was
Dude just calm down, it's because of guys like you in the government that only millionaires are allowed to own these in my country 😒
@@jamesunsworth4963 i know right, if they hadn't been crazy back then we'd be rowing our way across continents now
I wonder what the F.A.A. thinks about this besides it being a piss poor excuse for an airplane.

Whoever owns this boat please msg me! I'm interested in buying a second one!
I have one for sale.. Email me at michaelsheldon1963@gmail.com. I'll send you the pics.. Engine only has 2 hrs. I had they engine recertified at 80 hrs.
Brandon Fasan did you buy it?
So, I'm thinking you might have wanted to have more parah gliding experience. Possibly starting with some more tandem instruction first.
I also wonder if the cord of the hand Glider wing is set a little too sharp. Only cause it looked like a struggle to keep it from pitching up to steeply...
I just watched another video where the other guys machine had rudders on the bk of his pontoons & his guide wires appeared to be much tighter.
Otherwise, I was very impressed with your first flight & your reaction time; if you weren't so fast in corrcting, you most likely would have been in trouble there.

i own it
What ever you do dont get the ROTAX 503. Veeery under powered

COG is way off
There's actually a place called Phuket? Lol!! "What should we call our town?" Fukkit, I don't know. ...Phuket. Has a nice ring. Let's go with it."
Bad kinda scary! Definitely Not A pilot! This man should NOT be allowed to operate A FIB or any aircraft! I hope he either gets proper training or sells the FIB to someone safer!
Brandon Fasan you said this because you asked you buy it before. Stfu and keep up your messy ass apartment you tool. Let the man enjoy his dam boat
i agree .. :)
Geeee....
What in the bad piggies fuck is this?
Clickbait
Bruh wtf
😆
Give it Lift design and the air will do the rest. and needs stability worked on. otherwise will be a good day to die.
CG too far aft
