Student Loses It! Forgets All Training!

Can you imagine the CFI on the ground after working with this student for month, then turning them loose to solo and they pull this?

Pretty amazing flying.

I rather think the pilot is well beyond the student stage - but question his wisdom in performing those maneuvers at such a low altitude. I also wonder about the suitability of the aircraft for such activity.

Getting back to the title, we had a student solo crash at my home airport a few years ago. The guy made three attempts at landing - each worse than the one before. On the last he ended up upside down in the trees alongside the runway -but walked away. Bet his CFI needed a change of underwear.

The biggest question is the sanity of doing acro in a powered lawn chair.
 
reminds me of the old,"drunk farmer stealing the cub" airshow routine
 
Looks a lot like a guy who just bought a RV developing new take-off data :P
 
Did I read somewhere that Bob Hoover played the "new student" joke on a CFI once?
 
For potential ultralight airshow routines I think this guy's looks a bit expensive, not to mention dangerous :eek:

I haven't watched all of it, but I'm thinking that due to its proximity to the ground, it looks more like an RC to me.

I am going to have to watch it again. My original thought was that it was an RC as well, but some of the video convinced me it was not. Such as its size in comparison to cars later on in the video. I have a computer connected to a 60 inch screen and will see if I see a pilot. Back later.
 
Tough call ,pilot doesn't seem to be moving on touch and go.
 
Alleged to be: "This video clip of a Beaver RX 28 from Spectrum aircraft inc. was made back in 1988/89 at King George. the single seat basic ultralight was apparently flown by a pilot from spectrum aircraft of Surrey to show of the trust he has in this aircraft,"
 
There was a video out a year or so ago that showed a wing falling off and the pilot successfully landing. It turned out to be a combination of a real airplane used in the close up ground work, and an RC model of the same plane used for the air work. It looks like the same sort of thing to me.

The take off, touch and goes, and landings probably are real. The aerobatics look like an RC model.

Too close to the ground, and the structure of the airplane.

John could be right. I can't imagine a challenger pilot skilled enough and stupid enough to do that, and commit it to published video.

I thought that was a possibility too, but the video seems to seamless and the clouds remain consistent. Also when the plane shows the bottom of the wings the numbers seem exactly the same as the landing plane with a pilot. If it is "video magic" it is really good.

I know your imagination is better than that. Some pilots seemingly have a unfettered need to put their stupid pilot tricks on you tube for the world to see and then boast about how good and bold they are.
 
Its fake... I don't believe the power to weight ratio it seems to exhibit would likely be in a full size plane. Also, the glass appears empty when the fancy stuff is being performed.
