A perfectly good road and he takes it to the trees? Granted that road may have been busy.
Wonder what type airplane.

Sure does look like a new homebuilt. No paint, but a rotating beacon?
I'd guess VW power from the look and sound
Glide ratio of a brick.
Maybe he should have left those four cameras and mounts off on the first flight and spent the time testing fuel flow, taxi tests, vapor lock tendencies after a long taxi. I know it paid off for me. Think of the weight and drag of three externally mounted and one internally mounted camera. At least it was not painted. Hope he had insurance.
That's what I was thinking. Plane just dropped like a rock.Glide ratio of a brick.

Call me a cynic, but something in this whole video does not seem right to me, almost as it was staged. Why someone would do that, I cannot fathom a guess, but some possibilities exist. It just seems to me that the pilot was too calm, and he friends were there almost before he got out of the plane. Maybe it is the editing of the thing, but it just seems too clean.
