Guest Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Stalled. To much brake, not enough 'speed to fly' SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tj Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I'm not a pilot yet. Was this an attempt to get in the seat to early or just to large an angle of attack on climb? Tj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outkast Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 looks like it could have been mid morning, possibly a bit of rotor off the trees on the left and a bit of lumpy air? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_b Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 If you look at his hands you will see how much brake he is applying and as it falls back out of the air you can see how the trailing edge is pulled right down. ie he stalled it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tj Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 So both hands down to far, brake on, angle of attack to severe...ground contact. That's one of the best vids I've seen so far. Excellent teaching aid. Tj. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_andrews Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Pilot was on takeoff power when he crossed over the videographer (who's reaction cracks me up, but removes him from preferred ground crew). While you can't see his hands at that point, he had effectively removed his margin of reaction to conditions by holding brake input. I cannot determine if the sock in the distance is moving, but a 5k puff could have finished him off as he was. Since he applied lots of left brake, he may have been trying to react to what felt like an oscillation, but could have been something thermic as it looks like he got a puff on liftoff too, then short lull, then parachutal to stall to arseplant. Not mid day, but not sunset either... Likely an example of what he got away with many times before this happened. Most of us do it too. Fly safe. Keep flying in your head after you land to think of what you got away with... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin B Is that similar to "keep driving in your head after you get home from the pub, to think of what you've got away with".........?

dede2008 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Looks like a combination of four things: 1) Too much brake, while in 2) Full power o close to it 3) Too much distraction for the camera 4) Advanced wing Result, stalled wing. The wing is a Windtech Evo I think, not a school wing and that could have helped reaching the stall point quicker. You have to be careful when you play with advanced wings and you should know the limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete_b Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 He was not ready to fly as he had to be DRAGGED to do a forward launch and then sat in the harness to early. get proper training old boy the others seemed more interested in the motor than they were to see if the pilot was ok. Give the wing a REALLY good check over as the prop hit it when it broke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
