Nice one. What a number of people don't realise is that not only is the prop stopped, but it becomes a rather large airbrake - very draggy, and needs a bit more nose down (bar back) to compensate. No problem, but worth a mention. Different to an engine at idle. Unless you've actually done it (I have) the other surprise comes from the whistling from the flying wires. Can take you by surprise if you're not prepared. Excellent video, good camera and confident pilot in his skills. Very instructive!
I love how safe these things are. If you keep you head on straight, you can land it with ease, and the craft is quite forgiving. Landing like this is not really a challenge as much as the limited flight time you have before you reach the ground. I have not seen many crashed of these machines. The ones I have seen were pilot error.
Very nice landing! even in the rotor from the trees you were smooth! I love watching it when things a pilot does is second nature! REALLY just watch yourself VERY closely from 10 seconds before touchdown till you land! That was an immence amount of corrections and input to the weight shift controls.. thank you for the video, I fly 3 axis UL's but deadsticks are ALL great learning tools!
Excellent video to prove that a dead stick situation doesn't have to be harmful or fatal. Just always keep the ground in sight for emergency landings. Keep up the good work and maybe i;ll see you in the air sometimes.........
That is the Greatest camera work for this video,it shows Clearly every important thing u need to see with this vehicle,and what u were trying to explain,i felt i was up there with u.
I'm glad your instructor taught you that. You're right - there isn't much to it. It's nice to know it can be done and you should practice once in a while.
Wow. I've always, always wanted to, however, I never knew these things existed. I have cruise the African Savana with one of these one day. Its one my list of things to do befor I die. Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Landing without power is essential and obligatory in the pilots training. After a while it's routine the instructor to turn the power off in unexpexted moments. Even in the final test, one of the tasks you are required to perform is one landing without power. BTW, very good landing without power, mate! Keep going!
Wow that was something else, good landing, god bless your nerve. I never thought I'd see one of these in Ireland but to my surprise one day I heard a sound overhead that I thought was strange, I had a look and it was a craft like yours, I couldn't believe it, he or she was flying very high too, I only barely heard it flying overhead. Nice to know if the motor fails you can still get down reasonably safe.
When I was a kid a guy would often fly over my neighborhood in this early years of ultrylites .Now this was the early 70's and used a combo of two chainsaw motors.To watch him doing stunts around 30-40 feet off the ground was nerve wrecking but this man back in his early years helped put on stunt shows in countries all over the world.
Epic, good way to teach it. As i understand , you need to take into account the bloody turbulences behind the trees and avoid wide moves with the bar.... starting to learn next week in Buenos Aires : )
I had to go back and watch the video to see what you were talking about. Our runway is part grass and part shale. I believe what you are seeing are the small stones being displaced by my tires. I only have brakes on the front wheel. The rear wheels free spin. Thanks for watching.
my grandfather used to fly ultralight aircraft... then my mom was born... man, i'd love to have my grandfather tech me how to fly, i've always been fascinated by ultralights, there is one in the lake where i spend my summers, (not owned by anyone I know) and it has pontoons to land on water. it's AWESOME
I'm just getting started triking. I really appreciate your videos. They give me some idea of using the control bar at take-off and landing. I just got a used Sabre with a 503 on it
Que emoción por dios ver como este hombre vuela como un pájaro!!!...Porque si se fijan bien, son unos cañitos, un motorsito , y las alas!!..REALMENTE QUE AGALLAS Y CORAJE TIENE HOMBRE!!!!.. te felicito amigo , por tu miedo a nada...jaja... Te felicito!!!..
Nice. Flying PPG for years I would never dare to land in the rotor. Watching how nicely it can be done oon the hang glider I start to consider to buy one. Seriously.
Over the years, 2 strokes have become more reliable, but I do agree with you. 4 strokes have a better reputation for dependability. For a certain horsepower rating, a 4 stroke engine weighs twice as much as a 2 stroke. I have to keep my machine under 254 lbs, or I would get me a 4 stroke engine. Thanks for the compliments. Take care.
It's called an ultralight trike. Gyro-copters had an unsafe record in the early days, just like hang gliding and ultralights. They were in their beginnings. Now most of them are safe to fly. They are well built with AN hardware and aircraft tubing. The wings are tested and then test flown. A lot of safety depends on the maturity of the pilot. Just like general aviation, most accidents occur because of pilot error.
The idea of owning/flying an Ultralight, is flying for fun. We don't get caught up with licenses, regulations and certificates. Respect is earned. It's not given away with a piece of paper. Anything that flies is cool.
Interesting. In the US there is no certificate/license required to fly ultralights but there are strict limits to the aircraft (only 1 seat, only 5 gals fuel capacity etc). There is a new "Sport Pilot" certificate available for those that want to fly 2 seat ultralights but its requirements are about 1/2 those of a private pilot. -Robert, FAA Certified Flight Instructor
That's good practice! I survived 2 real power failures in these things with good safe unscathed landings. I was very lucky the incidents waited a good few moments past take off each time. I took off over a lake and then a large body of woods before there were any fields. The first incident occurred as I had gotten across the woods and had flown to the end of the field and that's when I lost power. A motor mount broke, dropping the motor down and completely away from the belt. I nosed down immediately, did a u-turn and dropped down in the filed like a bird. The 2nd was not a total power failure. I had a clutch slipping on the prop. It was slipping enough to where I could never have made it back but at just above idle it gave me just enough to make it to a field.
Dude, you have balls. Hell if i were that high on that thing and the engine shut off i would piss myself and cry.

It depends on the type of flying that you want to do. I know some who have both. If you want to fly fast and carry a passenger, get a license and a big trike. If you want to just fly for fun, get an ultralight. Whatever it takes to put a smile on your face.
@wrdturkey at 1:17 you were like "this is your capitan speaking, thank you for flying with delta we have arrived to our destination, its 3:00 local time" :) great video
I usually fly during the morning and evening hours. That's when the air is calm and flying conditions are great. It's not hard if you receive proper training. Thanks for watching.
Relative to the wind, anything gliding is always descending. "Deadstick" is an old colloquialism for what's now call a power-off landing. All certificated pilots are required to be proficient in that.
I have the same trees where I fly. No matter how smooth the flight I always wonder what the trees have planned for me this time. Luckily it's never been dangerous, but just enough to make me pay attention.
You know I'm partial to flying trikes, because that's what I have and I love it. I've never flown a gyro, but know others that do. Pilot error examples: Not doing a complete preflight; stalling a wing close to the ground; taking off, then releasing the throttle. Most of the pilot error concerns would be addressed during your training period. By all means, don't attempt to fly without proper instruction. The simplest mistake could cost you money, broken bones or your life.
Nice landing...those trikes are kinda hard to control without the engine, as they want down fast...nice landing video! I always thought these are not really flown any more...but nice there are still some pilots flying it.
@liveonthereartire In the U.S., there are other restrictions for ultralights besides stall speed. You are restricted to 5 gallons of fuel, 254 lbs, one seat, daylight hours, etc. I need about 100 to 150 feet to take off or land. A lot depends on the wind.
There's a hand deployed parachute directly behind my shoulders in a black bag. It wouldn't do much for flying at 500 feet. If something should fail at higher altitudes it's worth having. Nothing takes the place of a good pre-flight inspection.
Both are enjoyable! But for those who ever wanted to taste real freedom, who ever dreamed of flying like a bird with light wind in your face, with your arms opened and your heart filled with perfect harmony and delight as you get lost in timespace above the sunset clouds.. well, that's what my 1200 Euro microlight gave to me this year. No words for that.
Flying isn't for everyone, but the more you learn about the technology, aircraft hardware used, and testing, the more apt you are to flying one. Seek good instruction when learning to fly, keep your machine in excellent shape, and learn as much as you can about flying and the weather. You will have less risk flying than driving on the highway.
@BBCSHEEPNEWS Probably a PPC (Powered Parachute). I've heard some people can learn in as little as 5 hours. Here in the States, there are very little regulations for ultralights. Safety depends on how you fly. You can make it as dangerous or as safe as you want.
Once I flew over top of the hill in a good headwind near my home so I stayed aloft stanstill at the wery same spot. My father saw it and said to my moom " Juniors engine has stopt and he doesend get back to the ground." That they call here as a common sense.
Buying an ultralight is like buying a car, motorcycle or snowmobile. They range in price based on options and luxuries. Buying a used one is the same way. Sometimes you get a good deal. Sometimes you don't. You usually get what you pay for.
The other day I had my ultralight die out and I did about a 100 foot rapid decline and pulled to get some more speed to land. It was really scary. But nice job.
@oakland002 About 100-150 feet. You can take off shorter than that with a headwind. I would like to see that video. Most wings are tested to 6 G's positive loading and 3 G's negative loading. That's better than a small Cessna. These wings are designed around hang glider and were meant to fly in turbulence.
That's one of the requirements. There are a few others too. You can't fly at night. You can only carry 5 gallons of fuel. It has to weigh less than 254 lbs. Thanks for watching.
When people give that "what happens when motor quits" routine I ask if they have ever heard of a thing called the space shuttle; it dead stick lands every trip, you just gotta watch your "v" speeds and don't try to "stretch" a glide. .
Nice one. What a number of people don't realise is that not only is the prop stopped, but it becomes a rather large airbrake - very draggy, and needs a bit more nose down (bar back) to compensate.

That is awesome, I clicked your page and glad to see 14 years later you're still kicking!
Near perfect landing in very trying conditions... you could not ask for more. Well done Snoopy.🙂
I'm impressed by how easily it takes off!
Thanks. It takes off even faster now. I took the 340 Kawasaki off and put a Rotax 447 on. It takes off like a rocket now.
I used to tell people, when they asked that question, “last time it happened, I was stuck up there for hours!”
LOL!
I think I built one of those yesterday: I was weed eating my yard when I tripped over a lawn chair and got tangled up in my hammock and there it was.

That is the Greatest camera work for this video,it shows Clearly every important thing u need to see with this vehicle,and what u were trying to explain,i felt i was up there with u.
Hi Anand. It's a 340 Kawasaki 2 stroke engine that puts out about 30hp.
nicely shown example of a controlled, planned deadstick, just gotta hope engine does not cut out at the wrong time! Very nice flying. thumbs up!
I'm glad your instructor taught you that. You're right - there isn't much to it. It's nice to know it can be done and you should practice once in a while.
Wow. I've always, always wanted to, however, I never knew these things existed. I have cruise the African Savana with one of these one day. Its one my list of things to do befor I die. Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Never mind how well he flew - the guy flying formation for the camera was a master!
I present unto you good sir, you're first like in 9 years! You're welcome for being pinged back to a video from simpler times
Landing without power is essential and obligatory in the pilots training. After a while it's routine the instructor to turn the power off in unexpexted moments. Even in the final test, one of the tasks you are required to perform is one landing without power.

Good luck in your training Clement. I hope all does well. Thanks for watching.

I've had more close calls in my auto than while flying.

Very nice... looks like the safest thing out there. I think if I got one I would put on some larger wheels.
I like the fact you can deadstick it.
*_"Any landing you can walk away from is_** A GOOD LANDING. **_If the aircraft can_** STILL **_be flown it's_** A GREAT LANDING."*

Please Do you know how much the price of this plane

SO F-ing COOL. VERY nice landing, especially in that rough air. And I love how easy it is to restart. I WANT ONE!!
You do a great job, technically in flight as well as videography.
Wish others would follow your example
Nice landing! Love the restart. The whole thing looks like FUN.
Perfect Gliding! Love the crazy winds at the end, and perfect landing! Keep it up!
Nicely done. I love the size of those wheels with no fairings.
Very smoothly done. I have GOT to get myself one of those things.
That is a cracking piece of video! Great piloting, didn't notice many instruments, that's experience for you! Nice.
Nice. Flying PPG for years I would never dare to land in the rotor. Watching how nicely it can be done oon the hang glider I start to consider to buy one. Seriously.

Love it great video! Reminds me of my dad when we used to fly his powered parachute. Good memories, thanks for sharing!
The runway isn't rough all over. Just the part I landed on :o)
That's good practice! I survived 2 real power failures in these things with good safe unscathed landings.
I was very lucky the incidents waited a good few moments past take off each time.
I took off over a lake and then a large body of woods before there were any fields. The first incident occurred as I had gotten across the woods and had flown to the end of the field and that's when I lost power. A motor mount broke, dropping the motor down and completely away from the belt.

I wouldn't fly it, if it wasn't made to glide. Thanks for watching my video.
Good job! I've had one, not planned though. Turned out fine, no injuries or damages. Pinched a hole in the seat though.
@causations Thank you very much. It always makes me happy to be able to fly and make videos. I'm glad some like them.
Dude, you have balls. Hell if i were that high on that thing and the engine shut off i would piss myself and cry.

Beautiful. Flying at it's simplest. One of my 'bucket list' items is to do this.
@wrdturkey at 1:17 you were like "this is your capitan speaking, thank you for flying with delta we have arrived to our destination, its 3:00 local time" :) great video
"Dead Bar" would be more accurate. Some days my little Kawasaki can be hard to start. Today wasn't one of those days. Thanks for watching.
@MiniclipTV It's an ultralight. We fly under part 103 of the FAA reg. There is no license required (in the U.S.)
Wow that was nuts! Seemed fine in the beginning but then right near the trees it got super windy and wild! Crazy man. Very good stuff.
The tall trees along the runway create some turbulence with even a slight wind.
I usually fly during the morning and evening hours. That's when the air is calm and flying conditions are great. It's not hard if you receive proper training. Thanks for watching.
Thank you :-)
Neat! that little trike has a pretty impressive glide ratio, it looks like.
Relative to the wind, anything gliding is always descending. "Deadstick" is an old colloquialism for what's now call a power-off landing. All certificated pilots are required to be proficient in that.

It's light but not fragile. Most trike wings are tested to 6 G's positive loading and 4 G's negative loading.
Both are enjoyable! But for those who ever wanted to taste real freedom, who ever dreamed of flying like a bird with light wind in your face, with your arms opened and your heart filled with perfect harmony and delight as you get lost in timespace above the sunset clouds.. well, that's what my 1200 Euro microlight gave to me this year.

i'm glad you found a hobby that you like, and please don't take this the wrong way, but you're out of your gourd, man. : )

I like your trike and your video.Looks like a fun toy. I.m a hang glider pilot and also have a QUICKSILVER mxii. Fly safe.
It was $ 6995 USD back in 1996. You can check out Northwing's website for prices on ultralights.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
I like the opening credits. They seem familiar.
@BBCSHEEPNEWS Probably a PPC (Powered Parachute). I've heard some people can learn in as little as 5 hours. Here in the States, there are very little regulations for ultralights. Safety depends on how you fly. You can make it as dangerous or as safe as you want.
It's called a strobe light. It makes it better to be seen in the air.
awesome camera angle dude, nice flyin too. perfection.
Once I flew over top of the hill in a good headwind near my home so I stayed aloft stanstill at the wery same spot. My father saw it and said to my moom " Juniors engine has stopt and he doesend get back to the ground." That they call here as a common sense.
Thanks. You go by bar pressure. The wing will tell you when it's flying too slow by pushing back, or wanting to go faster.
Buying an ultralight is like buying a car, motorcycle or snowmobile. They range in price based on options and luxuries. Buying a used one is the same way. Sometimes you get a good deal. Sometimes you don't. You usually get what you pay for.
@Steeyuv That would be the wife hanging on to the wing tip with one hand and filming with the other.
@myleftnutts Thanks left nut. You were up there with me - right beside the right one :o) Thanks for the compliments. Take care.
I like that shrug after engine off, almost says "What? Not falling?"
Oh shit, a hang glider with a volume control.
I live the way he points out the turbulence near the trees lol
It all looks smooth from above
Much better built and the scenery is a lot better.
It's called a Sabre. They're not made anymore. You can get one for about 10k new from Northwing, Magic Trikes or Trike Buggy Delta.
It's a 340cc Kawasaki motor with a 59" Ultra Prop. The trike is called a Sabre Trike. Thanks for watching.
@HarryHydro Nope. Albert's Airfield in Morrisdale, PA.
Nice energy management. Great video.
Why not? I do it occasionally. With a good landing field below you, you have nothing to worry about.
The other day I had my ultralight die out and I did about a 100 foot rapid decline and pulled to get some more speed to land. It was really scary. But nice job.
@oakland002 About 100-150 feet. You can take off shorter than that with a headwind. I would like to see that video. Most wings are tested to 6 G's positive loading and 3 G's negative loading. That's better than a small Cessna. These wings are designed around hang glider and were meant to fly in turbulence.
Nice flying! I like the strobe.
Love the take off well done
That's one of the requirements. There are a few others too. You can't fly at night. You can only carry 5 gallons of fuel. It has to weigh less than 254 lbs. Thanks for watching.
When people give that "what happens when motor quits" routine I ask if they have ever heard of a thing called the space shuttle; it dead stick lands every trip, you just gotta watch your "v" speeds and don't try to "stretch" a glide. .
Nice.. A hero you are sir
Great job landing that thing brother!
Anything that flies is cool. Flying a Cessna is more like driving through the air though. Trikes rule!
You pull over and fix them. Don't forget to put out your safety flares.
It's a Sabre Trike - designed after the Tukan.
