Trike + BRS chute = Pain

[Guest brentc]

Found this tonight. I have no idea what happened to the pilot of this thing, however it must have hurt, a lot.

Well, that's Nanolight Trike for you.

 

I went forward to the next video of a crash due to EFATO. . . the motors they use leave a lot to be desired.

 

They'd be a lot better off using the Rotax-288 single cylinder 28hp motor, assuming that's had the same engineering development as the early 503's & 582's.

 

They also don't seem to have been trained to keep landing areas within glide distance . . .

Clowns. Look at how they fly. One day they will make the final cut of their videos.

Darren, those BRS chutes can be a blessing but also a big danger in certain circumstances.

 

Mate of mine had a heavy hit in a Quicksilver and it broke and seperated the airframe at a point where the cable for firing the rocket motor was routed and it cause the cable to pull tight and fire of the rocket.

 

End result, the instructor received a severely burnt arm.

 

Close call because a few inches to the right and he could have lost his head.

 

I think my mates bumb got scorched.

 

Regards,
