    I did the same thing on my first launch. I got spooked because the angle going up on full throttle felt so extreme I let off the throttle and pitched down, then my cajones dropped out of my throat and I laid back into the throttle and pulled it together

    This is true of Free-Flight too. He did well controlling the glider on the ground! I've never flown with a motor and cannot say I would be able to control the throttle first try. This is great contend Trevor.

    That is fantastic advice. I did the same thing when I was about 30 feet off the ground I just about let go of the throttle. Thankfully with some coaxing from my instructor, I got back into the throttle and climbed out safely.

    My instructor had signs and always repeated "DON'T SIT, KEEP RUNNING!". He wanted to see our legs running until we were 50-80ft in the air lol

    Maybe this is a bit advanced for novice training, but the oscillation control of the wing forward and backwards was super poor. I'm surprised you didn't say anything about that part. Impressive ground handling for somebody who has never flown though. Keep doing what you're doing.

    My chicken legs and smoking cigarettes makes me that guy who rushes to get in the air.

      Same. My background in motoX and sportbikes, enabled me to keep it wfo on my first terrifying launch. Pin it to win it!! Ironically, the same strategy also has cost me a few props...

      @shanesplanetshane3795 for me its the lugging it out, hooking to the kite, getting ready. Im exhausted att that point.

      @@libertyforamericanow Yup. Tis why I show early with lots of time. I learned early on to get everything done (including clipping in glider), before standing with the motor, clipped in, on my back. Carrying 80lbs on my 125lb frame, isnt the most enjoyable thing.

    HMM AT 7.13 the student was trying to get into his seat harness. thus his hands and throttle control changed. rewatch the video and see. "live and learn or learn and live" and what time of day was this launch? what was the speed of gusts?. was there any therm,als with the gusts? the mishap? was the student trying to get into the seat. if a student can't get into the seat...then errors can occur

    Holly shit. First flight is in wind?
    Im in Florida and the guys who trained me dont even fly in that kinda wind.

    • @rule1dontgosplat
      @rule1dontgosplat 4 місяці тому

      my first flight was in like five mile per hour wind. I flew around and came in and butt landed and the glider just hovered above me. I had to pull the brakes to get it down

    Sounded like he was on and off the throttle almost the entire time.

    Я тоже испугался резкого подъёма, отпустил газ и резко устремился к земле.

    Some good tips here Trevor, but still more to improve on for sure could be said. Poor Posture, very poor throttle control, hang point is too far back, lots of problems from what I see.
