I've seen some videos from a couple of highly experienced pilots, do some low level flying down rivers in better microlights, less forested, with half a chance of an escape route, but without a passenger.
That is a slippery slope ... next you´ll try to touch tree tops just to see - Enjoy while you live but please don´t take passengers for those flights 🤗
I like it and you are a skilfull pilot but..... in bad case of an engine stop in that bush, how could you call emergency and how rescue service can find you in time??
I DON'T know what engine this machine has, BUT any engine can "bark" in the most unexpected place ... .... I have been flying for a very long time and on airplanes (STOL) and on hang gliders ..., but I am a COWARD and NEVER FLY OVER WATER, and when over a forest and in mountainous terrain NEVER BELOW 2 KM. or so ... (SO THAT, in case of engine failure - I have the opportunity for REVIEW AND SELECTING A PLACE for "grinding" - landing ...) .......but I still had an accident and broke my ribs ...
@davidfitnesstech You make it rather obvious that you also lack both common sense and an understanding of what airmanship entails. It's not about accepting risk.
This is the type of flying I would love to do. If two consenting people 'of age' want to make an extreme sport out of it, what's the problem? The pilot looks rather skilled, and I'm pretty sure they know the risks.
Personally, I don't take that much risk but I have been flying over forests and water so many times; not in search of a thrill, but because there was no practical alternative. In my logbook, there is around 15 engine-out's. I consider myself to be lucky. Edit: That being said, I don't mind that some people feed their need for thrills. I value freedom.
It’s just matter of that one day you will hit the ground if you continue doing this kind flying . Ground proximity, even slight thermal , engine failure will give you no time to plan , react . I ve seen people going down . Fly safe .
I'm 55, have secondary progressive multiple sclerosis and hope to buy one of these next year and learn to fly, can't walk because of MS, but screw it, I'll fly instead..❤❤✌
It's sad to hear how many people are terrified to fly their machines. I suggest you do proper and preventative maintenance and get on with your life. These machines are only as reliable as you make them.
The first time i watched this a cple years ago, the most WICKEDLY INSANE RUSH!! I'd ride passenger anyday!! And for all those "sensible/responsible" negative opinions..... Personally, when i go, I'd rather "go down in a blaze of glory" with a split seconds notice, enjoying something that I'd love, living in the moment as a dream that makes life worth living or dying for, than to play life safely, growing painfully old, watching and knowing for god knows how long before I'd die "comfortably" in a hospital bed.... each to their own hey.... Have a good 1
I loved the clapping at the end ;) 02:35, lovely descent. Might just want to also tap the throttle every now and then esp with that humidity and long idle to avoid carb icing and potential thermal shock if you need power suddenly.
Me parece genial. ¡Enhorabuena, Paul! Los que no lo entiendan, que sigan trasladándose (volando) de un aeródromo a otro en vuelo recto y nivelado. Qué aburrido: así no evolucionarían ni las máquinas ni los pilotos. ¡Bravo, Paul!
Altitude above you is no help when things go bad.
Is this Ireland?
Be nice to have had floats…………. Yet, again, I doubt there would have been enough distance to take off with a tandem trike…….on floats.
This is completely madness.

This video displays utter crassness and imbecility of the highest level.
I think this is a fake video, notice trike turning with opposite or no input from pilot, nice cam angle to see that though....
That is a slippery slope ... next you´ll try to touch tree tops just to see - Enjoy while you live but please don´t take passengers for those flights 🤗
If the engine quits , you'll quit with it 😅.It's not about having fear of death , it's about willing to fly again the next morning ......

Clips wing, crashes and dies. And trikes are labeled dangerous.
*¡TOO LOW TERRAIN!* *¡TOO LOW TERRAIN!* *WHOOP WHOOP PULL UP!* *WHOOP WHOOP PULL UP!*
Crazy
Even a ballistic parachute won’t save you in a case of power lost.

Rule number 1..know where you'll land in case of emergency...more altitude the better =more options
Impressive until an engine problem happen...
So many snowflakes in these comments
One little down-draft and BAM!!
....and if the engine quits what is the plan??
Crashing the trike with no survivors.

crikey mate
How about you fly like that solo so you don’t take some other poor bastard with you. You’re not long for this world. Amateur hour….
es un maestro pero esta re loco!!
Как называется эта камера? What is the name of this camera?
Beer n flying dont go well but sometimes............
Irresponsible
What a pilot! Loved gully run

Passenger thinking of the ways he’s gonna kill the pilot if he makes it alive

Are you back in the sky....? I just want to say thanks again.....for the flights and your hospitality....... I hope you and mum are well x
Bravo 👍😎
These guys have a date with a wire or a bunch of branches.

Beautiful landing btw
OMG. I got nervous just watching 🤣 again, again 👍
Absolutely amazing…. But you are crazy and probably should not have a passenger!
Mr Britten................... you are a very stupid aviator.
Looks fun asf I wish I could learn to fly it
This is literally begging for trouble.
He will c his a
Love it! Push it to the limit but watch out for those damn trees!
