If you crash into the water and become unconscious, (for example after a big cravat with an auto rotation spiral dive), could the Agama hold you down in a face down position? Or would it automatically turn you in an upside position?
The Agama allowed me to right myself easier than without it. The gas tank was empty so its buoyancy tended to hold me in a head-down position even before the Agama inflated. I do NOT think the Agama aggravated the tendency but it may not right an unconscious pilot.
Went flying yesterday and my PPG ran out of gas (duh!) right in the middle of a lake here in Central Florida...
The AGAMA performed FLAWLESS!!!
Once we recovered my machine and the wing we dried out the engine (drying the ignition was the hardest part) and within 90 minutes I was back in the air! Without the AGAMA the engine mostlikely would have been stuck in the muck on the bottom of the lake...
i sent my dad this video so hopefully we can buy them... one for him one for me.... man you have alot og guts jmpin in that pool takeing a chance of ruining that motor

great product but you could still drown if you can't get on your back, right?

No, when you get on your back it is stable. There was no position I was able to achieve where it tried to hold me under.

Yes, I can vouch for them as reliable people. That is where I got the one tested.

I had to get one and with a little research I found UCANFLY2(dot)com selling them here in the US.
