Very nice flying! I heard someone say once that good glider pilots make great powered pilots. Considering that looked like a Blanik (glider) on the end of the field, it seems I heard right. Fly on! -future RV owner-
Well done. The other plane at the end of the runway you had to fly over, made it that more exciting. But it looked like you knew exactly what you were doing. Were the side winds that bad, are were you slipping the plane to lose altitude? Just noticed the ball way out at times. Thanks for this video, really made for an interesting ride.
..and a smooth wheel landing to boot. I guess getting the stick all the way back for a full stall landing is near impossible when your balls are in the way! You have some nuts man!!!
Holy cow... i kept thinking he is just doing emergency situation... did you plan that and hit the runway (or nice empty deserted street) at the perfect speed?
Amazing

What are you guys talking about? He landed where he wanted, a grass airfield. Seems to me the perfect training video and shows a great deal of skill.

What happened did you run out of fuel or just testing the glide aspects of the craft?
