  • wow...good job man

  • good job! I have had 4.. well 5 if you count one in a chopper. Certified and with a VW.. the vw was a float... that can stick in a certified engine just as easy. What were you flying? Yes it's always a matter of luck and skill but these people sure are super pilots with the comments it's easy to talk isn't it? anyway as it says in stick and rudder people forget about the power of the intentional ground loop in an emergency to stop. You have lots of stopping power in the rudder or wing

  • Excellent landing i am verry impressed ! How bad were the repairs after that ?

  • go to 4:17 to save time

  • Good job, one thing for sure if your engine goes out you ARE going to land.

    And if you walk away from it, THATS A GOOD LANDING.

  • Wow, very well done! Nice forced landing. In my 100+ hours in LSA aircraft, I have had one such engine out and put her down in a pasture.

  • just curious,,,,,did you ever get the the pleats out of the seat of this flying machine? LOL,,,,great job,,,I've logged about 12 serious deadsticks in my 24 years of ultralights/experimentals. Biggest problem, carbs, jets are tiny, and the smallest particles get to the jets and you become a glider!

  • Nicely handled emergency situation.

  • Cool the way you break out into the German Techno. Should have included the German women doing dirty things with horses. Oh..the flying.....10 out of 10 on the Gay-O-Meter. Shouldn't be farting around with ultra light shit like this. You fly that low and you play with fire.

  • I think that was a pretty good outcome, looked like there weren't too many options....good job

  • Let me venture a wild guess: you have no formal flight training, right? Seems to be the case. You got really lucky considering you did a very poor job of managing the flight and you failed at always having a good option in case of engine out.

    Please do not confuse the good outcome with anything you did right. Evidently you've invested in some good karma and you just cashed a bunch of it in.

  • That was awesome!

    

  • wow.amazing flying.

  • i was listening to bankstown air radio and i heard an ultralight lose its engine, things got pretty serious but it made it down safely, 3 hrs later it was on the news :D

  • Your keeping calm while focusing on flying the airplane prevailed. Great teaching video, man.

  • You didnt say what you were flying

  • you´re lucky!!! better yet a great pilot

  • Wow! Lucky you. Good that you found somewhere to put it down.

  • For your information, most FAA cronies I know over 20 years are Republicans, not Democrats. Many Hard Working Pilots I know are Obama Democrats, not Bush Bums like FAA above and you, Lazy Racist Recessionist Redneck.

    Yes, any airplane can be slipped, even a 747. I have slipped many multis to land on short fields.

  • Great video, thanks! Well over the lines and not the smoothest quarry, but you're here to tell the tale. I have killed myself many times in 'simulated' engine outs - quick rational thinking and a bit of luck is all it takes. To those who say 500" over golf courses - you're missing out on a lot of great scenery

  • He overshot the landing spot, did no slip, kept going and hit the bushes. Safe landing?

  • @navamerican he's alive, is he not? No slip because it is an ultralight

  • Nice video but what's up with the cheap porno music? Seriously though, WTF?

  • This is the main reason I always fly 5000 ft AGL as soon as possible after take off...the altitude is your friend...you get more landing options in case something bad happens.

    Gravity is your enemy, altitude is your friend...remember that, pilots!

  • I guess that's why I spent $35,000 on my FAA certifiied engine.

  • Good luck with that. I owned several certified airplanes. Three times I was asked if I wanted to sell the engine number plate because it was low time. If you feel the need to spend money to feel good a hooker may be a better investment.

  • Man you're lucky! 10 second earlier and there would have been a BBQ. two engines FTW

  • Good Job man,

  • Good narration, but too bad you play music all through the video like many others do. We want to hear the engine and explanation and etc, not some bang bang music. We can buy that kind of cheap music CDs for a dime a dozen any place. Have a good day!

  • well done man,over da wires,slip between da trees and touch down,sweet!!

  • What is this airplane? What is the engine? What was the problem?

  • wait it looks like your in an rc aircraft in the begining lmaoo what kind of aircraft is this???? please reply =]

  • After you crashed dont you have nightmares about hitting those high tension Wires ??, I had seen a lot of videos about motor failure why?Look to me these motor should be very reliable engine as the one of a motorcycle use

  • You're still crazy after all these years ; p

  • Duuudeeeeeee!

    Good effort man love the vid!

  • Wow! God was watching over you! If the engine would have quit a little sooner, you might have ended up in those power lines.

  • balls of steel man. amazing.

  • Thank god that u are ok...

  • Excellent video... nice job ...

  • (4) Not for you, but is for all the wannabe utube pilots! FAR 103.... does NOT go into detail of "congested area's" that like EVERYTHING written, It can, and ALWAYS will be "interpreted" differantly. that wasnt congested at all- (5) If you fly the area that much... as you say in the video... MAN UPGRADE THAT BABY!! amphibian, some floats and you just made landing ANYWHERE in that area a life saving breeze! Thanks for the video, and I really loved the narration and quality. practice outs!! U MUST

  • (1) I commend you for immediate pitch control to avoid stalling (2) Everyones differant; I personally would have chosen to line up with and follow that road directly in front of you when engine stopped, Powerlines? River? Trees? Road? Cars? tick, tick, tick! (3) when all fails~ FLY THE PLANE! Great Job!

  • I am looking at one of these ultralights. What caused the dead stick.

  • So, what happened next? Was there anyone who saw your forced landing?

  • great job, bade the best of a bad situation. Hope you still fly!!!

  • 13MediaHead13,

    Thanbks about posting your video, doing like this you give to the others a chance to believe that WE MUST be prepared to hard decisions.

    You was flying over a almost non-options landscape,you did the best one to land.

    What plane was it? Anyway, congratulations and always FLY SAFE...

  • did the carb ice up or what? it shut down just like it was on purpose....?

  • Reason I asked is I am looking for a place to takeoff and fly my trike.

  • That didn't even look like a runway. It looked like just a grass field and next to a highway. Is it legal to just take off from say a dirt road or a grass field?

  • yes

  • Nice R.C. Aerplane, what a range!! you have a good picture of what flying is, Great video

  • That's not an rc. Its real and I assume the pilot sustained some injuries.

  • If my engine quits right NOW I always have a place to land.Easy for me to say,I fly in the wide open spaces.If there is no place to land, I don't fly there.

  • great job getting it down, is it still in one piece?

  • Excellent emergency landing way to keep your head together...

  • well done! Man if that failed 30-60 seconds before you'd of been in those powerlines!

    Awesome vid, thanks for sharing!

  • Excellent! Thanks for sharing! So glad that it worked out for you.

  • amazing...

    congrats

    God were with you that day..

  • Nice, but what is the name of the song/soundtrack?

  • Skills!

    That was intense! really bad terrain for that to happens as well, with all the trees and that.

    your lucky that land fill was there cause going by that video, there was nothing else except the water...which is where i would have gone, and therefore totally lost the airframe lol.

    Nice job

  • excellent control. Way to fly it all the way to the ground. For going into shock you sure did an awesome job! Dont let these FAA volunteer agents get you down you did an excellent job!!

  • Good job flying after the engine quit, but very poor judgement putting yourself into the situation in the first place. It's not "if", but "WHEN" the engine's gonna quit. If the engine had quit a bit sooner it could have been very ugly.

  • I fly Ultralights too and I had an engine out, you never know when its going to happen, Boy this video brought back some memories, You did an excellent job, when everything else fails FLY THE PLANE I have that sticker on my instrument panel, hope you didn't get Hurt. Good job Good video and Beautiful scenery.

  • What are some of the causes of engine to go out and can you help to prevent this from happening?

  • In my case a spark plug wire separated from the plug and caused the engine out, it was normally very tight, and I never thought it would come loose, I did think of safety wiring it before this happened, but I was afraid it would short out thru the wire, I now have it zip tied so it will never happen again.

  • If this was an ultralight why were you flying over a town?

  • No you screwd up. I have 1500 hrs in Blackhack Helicopters. So I know my shit. Regardless. Look to your right about 40 sec before crossing the powerlines.

    Man you always have to have an escape route. What do you think you were doing? Im sorry but you are a lucky SOB. Tell Rob Joe says Hi. Hes with that whole free state movement folk. Remember, always have a ditch spot. Like a motorcycle. Keep it real, glad you walked. Bro dont do that again.

  • yeah...what ever asshole

  • Sure ok Im an asshole. That guy didnt keep a plan/ So fuck dickhead.

  • DobermansRock has 1500 hours in a "blackhack"?

    The only stick that wanker has held for 1500 hours is the little one between his legs.

  • I have more hours than that with that one. And your fuckin mother.

  • Wow, we were truly with you , great vid and good comments...

  • Nicely handled engine out!! I'm not sure I'd fly there with so few landing spots, although you always could have dumped it in the water. What motor was it?

  • I just bought a Sabre with a 340 engine. Are engine failures a common occurrence. Should I really watch where I fly till I get some experience under my belt.

  • That was picture perfect! God must be watching out for you! Great Job!

  • God bless ya

  • WHEW!!, had to watch over a few times,gives me high 9's on the pucker factor going over those power lines!

  • You were very lucky.

  • Thank god that engine didn't die 5 seconds sooner or you would'nt have made it past those power lines.

  • good save

  • What kind of plane was this that you were flying?

  • Your were lucky you just had enough height get over those power lines. Think you should invest in a parachute recovery system.

  • Wow! Kept your head on straight and got yourself down safely. Nice work!

  • Sure hope he got rid of that 2 smoke weedeater motor and went with a 4 stroke!

  • Great landing... glad you're not hurt.

    loved seeing the aerial footage of goffstown.

    you flew directly over my dad's grave on 114 and slightly behind the house I grew up in (south bank of glen lake.)

  • Well done. It makes my carrier landing in a simulator look tame.

  • i know someone who actually landed on the high tension wires. the shear power of the voltage caused static to wrap off of his helmet and then the wheel stuck and he spun around the wires. He hung suspended for 2 hours then fell 90 feet.

  • WOW! I don't know anything about flying. but that was amazing! Glad you're alright!

  • extra!!! recommend my videoclip : Paralotnia Biskupiec jez.Dadaj cz.2.-rozszerzona

  • very nice landing, i think a bit of if may have been luck...10 seconds earlier and you would have been right into those power cables.

  • VERY COOL EDITION! BUT PLEASE! GIVE US THAT LANDING IN REAL SPEED VIDEO. I bet its much more impressive! Thanks and nice job on that landing!

  • That is a skilled landing - this dude totally saved his own life.

  • Good landing. I fly from a small town and we are used to crop dusters and ultralights.

    I always avoid town unless at 1000ft. AGL.

    And Remember, altitude equals time.

  • were you hurt? was damage to the plane repairable? and what was the cause of the engine failure? glad youre ok though .

  • Im afraid to even say how high we fly army helicopters here in the states. you would probably ground the entire fleet. is 50 feet agl low enough? copilot: no! get lower... haha "NOE IS FOR ME!"

  • Its 1000 feet over people gatherings, and 500 feet over regular landscape.

  • Not for Ultralight. FAR's Part 103=Hazardous ops,Daylight ops,right of way,congested areas,certain airspace,prohibited or restricted areas,NOTAM areas,VFR,Visibility and cloud clearance requirments. No minimum altitude over "regular landscape". Flying over crowds of people and gatherings,I would consider a congested area. No flight at any altitude over a congested area in a part 103 ultralight in the USA.

  • FAA part 103.15 says No person may operate an ultralight vehical over any congested area of a city,town,or settlement,or over any open air assembly of persons. The definition of congested is Packed with traffic or people,making movement slow and difficult. It dosnt say you cant fly over a city,town or settlement. It says you cant fly over ANY CONGESTED AREA of a city,town or settlement.

  • Good job saving your life dude. :)

  • That was a wicked video. I really enjoyed that!!

  • You are flying in an area ultralight pilots try to avoid. There are too many trees and not enough safe landing areas for the altitude you are flying.

    You are one lucky SOB!

  • No person may operate an ultralight vehicle over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement, or over any open air assembly of persons. From 3:07 to 3:30 in this vid that was violated. FAA says congested is OCCUPIED and has cited based on that in the past. Is this town DESERETED ? I doubt it. If you doubt there is a violation, lets send a link to the NH FAA guy and see what he says ! I know from experience what he will do, been there done that since 1990 with UL's.

  • usatracy: He was not hurting,endangering or bothering anyone. No FAR's were violated that I could see. Congested does not mean "occupied" look it up. Ive been flying for 18 years commercial,instrument and ultralight. You are wrong. Do you really think its a violation to fly over "any area that is occupied" by people? That just dosnt make sense. I live in a settlement / town(as most of us do) and I fly over it all the time as I take off and land from my property. Are you going to tell on me? lol

  • You are by no means an expert, the YELLOW on a sectional is LIGHTED AREAS not CONGESTED areas. FAA says congested is ANYWHERE there are people below you. Which FARS ? about half of 103 was violated in this flight, he recklessly endangered the people and property below him as he flew OVER a congested area at an altitude TOO LOW to allow recovery. The fact the his engine DID go out probes had it gone out SOONER he may have killed someone, and he barely clears the PUBLICs tension lines.

  • videos like this provide ammo to those that would have far 103 reviewed and restricted or eliminated. On behalf of the rest of the UL community we thank you for representing us as devil may care hope I dont land on you flyers.

  • Wow, lucky all of your violations of FAR 103 did not get you or others on the ground injured or killed. Don't know how smart it is to show off your great flying skills and your total disregard for FAA regs on youtube and sign it with your name too.

  • Really nice job, what is the model of this plane ? do you have other images of the plane with the damages ?

  • I am a private pilot and I'd hope to be as cool and collected as you were during this emergency. You mentioned selecting this spot as an emergency landing site, and the combination of your forethought, not panicking, and piloting skills saved your life. I just lost a good friend and his son to an ultralight accident involving an engine failure, so be careful. P.S. any chance you could post a version where the landing is in real time?

  • Thank you. This is one of three times. I will have to re-edit, and post again. I will do it.

    PB..

  • Nicely done. Hope you bought a lottery ticket ;-)
