Kyle Communications Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 he wont be long for this world if he keeps doing that.....the one in the rain I mean 1
Sapphire Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 You have to be careful you dont get caught where you can't turn around except into cloud.
dazza 38 Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 he wont be long for this world if he keeps doing that.....the one in the rain I mean I agree, apart from the risk of flying in that visability where is appears that his back door could close in.The terrain he was flying over, appears in the video to not look to good if he has a engine failure. I say appears because we dont get to see the whole 360 degree visual view. Could be clear weather outside the camera's view. ( I doubt it though)

motzartmerv Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 Lol..That second video is awesome...It should be called "incipient stage of Killing two people."
Sapphire Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 If you want to commit the perfect murder, that's how to do it. Just discretly bring one parachute [for yourself]
cscotthendry Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 The second video should be titled "How to set up your last 178 seconds" 2
David Isaac Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 A very risky enterprise indeed. We cannot see the whole field of view but what is unarguable is that he was flying in NON VMC. Not the place where I would want to be thankyou very much chasps .... 1
eightyknots Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 When a flight like this turns into an 'incident with fatal consequences' the fun police will try to put restrictions on the 99% of the pilots who take safety seriously. This has the potential to give all recreational flying a bad name. What's even more interesting is that someone is prepared to (a) be a passenger to such a crazy pilot; (b) film the journey; and, © load it up to youtube! They're bound to do this again in the near future because they got away with it now. If they die in the next attempt, will this be called "natural selection"?

flyerme Posted November 6, 2012 Author Posted November 6, 2012 its in Washington. do they have much in the way of regs for ultralights over there in USA?
turboplanner Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 They don't need to, it's on an Australian website without qualifiers and is an example of what appears to be the culture here. This is the sort of video which is sent to the Minister as an example that given a recent weather related crash, things need to be tightened up, and even though the crash might have been GA, thousands of RA members are exposed, particularly given the borderline insurance situation being published by RAA,
flyerme Posted November 6, 2012 Author Posted November 6, 2012 I would have thought the engine would suck in water? as the air filters are exsposed? crazy buggers
motzartmerv Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 Yes, something in the video sucked...;) 1
