darrenperrett Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I watched it yesterday and really enjoyed it, apart from the bit at 4:30 where he drops into the field to scare the sheep. If someone did that to my stock i'd be really pissed off Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordon_dunn Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Actually another case of a pilot potentially going to ruin it for all- never mind the personal risks he's taking himself. Maybe there's something about the name 'Dell' Looks like Northern Ireland SE coastline, therefore in CAA jurisdiction- wouldn't be surprised if this sparked some complaints.

aquatix Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Legalities aside, I can't help admiring his confidence - both in his flying ability & equipment - as there is no room for errors in either most of the time .... Doubt I will ever reach that level of skill / ability to switch off the rational side of my brain ! The sky looked pretty active so maybe that's why he stayed low - I would probably have kept slightly lower, with both feet in contact with terra firma ! Great little gorge descent at 8:40 !!

pete_b Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 He may just make a good pilot when he learns his air law and stops showing off to everyone he sees. IF it had been my sheep he would not be walking now. nuff said Time and a place for every thing and youtube aint the place for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Same guy, starting his paramotor with two children facing the prop while on a stony surface. [youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo]Seems to have a basic lack of any understanding or care about the sport. That last video is a total mare for us, and makes me a little angry.

alan_k Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Well he can certainly control a wing, but he cannot fly - that takes airmanship. What's that Irish expression that came coming into my mind? Oh that's it FOOKING EEJIT Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that's it FOOKING EEJIT Alan LOL!! Couldn't have said it better myself!!! Great skill, and confidence- bad airmanship. Thankfully this display is not charactaristic of the majority of pilots in NI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revobuzz Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 It's such a shame. I would really really enjoy this video if I didn't think "what a twat" each time he buzzes kayaks sheep etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievably STUPID!!!!!!! This guy might not have any brains but he sure has balls, I didn't think his wing would fit through the viaduct.

gordon_dunn Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 We should run a competition to see who can spot the highest number of 'potential' dangers in this video... the viaduct is not the most obvious one... there are at least 4 more...

Steve Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I thought I'd seen enough when he came in low over power lines. I guess the trees and large building immediately after the viaduct should also be on the list. The quick face shot shows the motivation for doing it though.

gordon_dunn Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Yes.... well spotted.. I wonder if our intrepid pilot noticed them... Other risks included- Crossing powerlines and road at low altitude (0:26) Fling along powerlines at low altitude (0.30) Flying below tree level (0.35)- very close on right hand side at 0.37 Flying under railway viaduct (0.46) Flying within a valley Climbout from the viaduct is very restricted- tall hedge/trees on left, road infront, with powerlines along the road, and Millhouse immediatley infront. Bearing in mind the pilot is still in the valley, no matter what way the wind is coming, there is potentially rotor from any angle here. Also- perhaps not a danger.. but a general courtesy... Flying low over cattle is a definite no. They can panic and stamped, risking injury to the animals, or passing vehicles- not to mention ruining the reputation of PPG pilots generally.
