Guest Brett Campany Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Yeah...ummm pass on that notion!! Nice recovery, now excuse my while I change my underwear!
turboplanner Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Hopefully someone will recognise him and take his Certificate. What's the status of the airframe now?
bilby54 Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Who's kidding who about the incipient bit? That was a full on spin and I agree with Turbo, nick his certificate
Yenn Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 O only watched a small bit of the video, because I have a very slow connection today, but I saw 5 full turns, so there was no incipience about it at all.
turboplanner Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 I counted using the large grass patch, got to about 10 or 11.
Guest brentc Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 If you concerned about it and want to do something, just call RA-Aus and quote the rego number appearing at the 2min 30 seconds mark.
Vorticity Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Last I heard, this aircraft was for sale or coming up for sale Get in quick! :thumb_up: Those out there who know the history of this aircraft will be especially disturbed by the forces being placed upon it.........:ah_oh:
Tomo Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Who's kidding who about the incipient bit? That was a full on spin and I agree with Turbo, nick his certificate That's right! I reckon they did that so that it doesn't look "too" obvious on utube... your average back yard fella wouldn't know the difference between an incipient and full spin! Maybe the guy doesn't really know that your not supposed to do that sort of thing in RAA stuff? because he wouldn't be so open on putting it up on a world wide video site!
motzartmerv Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Insipient my a$$...Notice the last one tucks under a fair way before he rocovers aswell.. That would be an interesting feeling, an inverted flat spin in a drifter....
bilby54 Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 About twenty or so years ago, I witnessed a Drifter doing a beat up on a house from a stalled turn and the recovery was below the trees. This happened for at least twenty minutes and I thought then that ultralights were dangerous. Some weeks later, two people died when their Drifter smacked in from a poorly executed loop and i have often wondered if it was the same two idiots. The point here was that I formed an opinion that those things were dangerous and I missed out on about ten years of terrific flying. If the clowns in that video smacked in, what would that do for our public image? Drifters are great aircraft to fly with very with very few vices but when fitted with the big pod, they can take a long time to get out of a spin. It bothers me that someone will see this video and try it in the later model with nasty results. Remember that funerals are for the living. Not trying to rain on anyone's parade but there is reason for the placards saying "No spins"
BLA82 Posted May 28, 2009 Author Posted May 28, 2009 Just for the record I didn't put this video on here condoning the actions, just was gobsmacked when I first sore it and had to share

I was amazed like you. I think he is pointing to the paddock where he should have crashed:laugh: Looked like a pair of white knuckles in the back!!
Guest mike_perth Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Far out I'm not looking forward to incipient spin recovery in the TraumaHawk now! That is one no make that 10 serious spins!
