Looking at the waves the wind was coming from behind and over his right shoulder. He was trying to point the boat towards the camera, while being moved off course. Pilot error.
This is a flying boat not a airplane,purely pilot mistake. aproaching to landing was very fast and aproaching angle was perpendicular.besides the wing must be opened trough to pushing the control bar.
Hmm,just learning to land with the slightest amount of crosswind would have helped already, then trying to touch down at trans-sonic speeds on any surface spells doom for trikes like these.
Well... this is why real float planes require a sea rating for pilots. Just because you know how to fly an ultralight and you don't need a license or ratings to do so doesn't doesn't mean it's the smart thing to do. Especially on water.
Ahhh...Newton's first Law in action. The hang glider wing, engine and people want to continue moving the the same direction. When the 'V' hull of the inflatable gets into the water, you can see it wants to track at a different angle. wing and people go one way and the inflatable goes another...given the top heavy nature of the rig once it's in the water, it's no wonder that it capsizes. Obviously not a well thought out idea.
This is what super jazz posted, then deleted "I'm a licensed pilot too. Both hang gliders and GA. Hang gliders do not need a rudder. The washout of the wing brings the keet down gradually, this in turn stabilises the glider on all 3 axis...... google it.
Well in response superjazz, he turned a hang glider into a seaplane and he does need a rudder, because the fucking thing doesn't work. So in other words, don't fly the god damn thing as a "sea kite"
The craft was unstable and lacked yaw control. There is a reason aircraft have rudders and sea planes have rudders in the water. There is a reason for having the floats on the plane quite far away from each other. The reason is evident in this video. It was unstable.
@seaswirl79 Ahem. Flying wing. look at the shape of a hang glider in flight, they dont need rudders. The boat on the other hand..... well yeah we see what happens.
@superjezz Actually, depending on the intended purpose, it does need a rudder. Ahem, I'm a licensed pilot.
Yes, a kite doesn't need a rudder. A hang glider doesn't need a rudder, unless you fly it outside its intended flight envelope, which he did. He needed an aircraft with yaw control, which the hang glider had virtually none.
Even after a craft lands on water, the flight controls are still used to maintain control of the craft at high speeds.
@seaswirl79 I'm a licensed pilot too. Both hang gliders and GA. Hang gliders do not need a rudder. The washout of the wing brings the keel down gradually, this in turn stabilises the glider on all 3 axis...... google it.
Wind was behind them, wind it always perpendicular to the waves, the shape of the waves will tell you what direction is going from and to. The 'pilot' is an idiot and should learn to sail and he'd know all about wind direction and water / waves.
looks like he landed with a tail wind to the starboard quarter stern. This caused him to come in too fast with no control and yawed him into what you see..
The first thing I'd do is lose the front fin; ...install it aft (much like a surf board). To me, it appears that "that" was a major contributor to the roll. At least have it retractable after take-off and keep it retracted during flight, approach and landing. I'm not sure having a rudder (water, not air) would have helped either; the force of the sharp left looks like it would have broken a foot from the pedal whip.
@WalneySkyland it was 100% pilot error there's just no excuse for not landing dead square on to the wind when you haven't a runway to be lined up with
Touch down was too abrupt and hard. Dragging the back end of the boat should straighten the boat out with your direction of travel. When the boat tacks to starboard bank hard right with it. The round out needs to be more gradual. It looks like the crosswind drift was to the pilots left. (Crosswind from the contraption's right.)
I opinate that the pilot made the mistake of not keeping the rudder straight at the moment of landing, and eventually he could have arrived with less speed to touch water .... as a consequence the speed generated the fast rotation that made him flip over ... the plane is very reliable when the pilot is aware, responsable and always concentrated!
Actually, he crashed because of high speed side wind and a bad technique... About his speed, during approach to the sea surface, he must gain his speed a bit to correct dirrection of the boat. In a moment, lets say, when he is on a 1 meter from the ground he can slow down by rising front side of his wing ("opening the wing"), and that is called "exhausting" in litteral translation from my language.
@berakd I know that the glider has no rudder, but the boat has one! When thr flying boat is in the water the rudder is used to manouver it, control the direction, and make sure that the boat doesn´t start a self rotation at the moment of accelerating to take off. You´ll clearely understand the importance of keeping the rudder perpendicular to the axis at the moment of "touching ground" ... this said I agree with you on the side (or even sligtly back) wind -and unappropriate landing technique!
@mikimila Well, you can be right, you probably are... I do not have experience on water... I thought that rudder on a boat is self directional, and as such, it can straiten up in a moment when it touch water surface. In the other hand, water is specific...
On the ground, I have self directional front wheel holder. I do not have to worry what will happen when I land. I just need to hold it after I am safely landed, to press the brake pedal...
This was funny as hell! They need to take some aerodynamics course and put this bad boy in a wind tunnel before another test flight. Oh yeah, helmets! Lol!
What happens when you die? Have you told lies, stolen, used God's name in vain? If yes, then you're a liar, thief, and a blasphemer in the sight of God. When you die & be judged by God, you'll be guilty of sin, & go to Hell! But God sent God His Son Jesus to shed His blood & die on a cross for your sins, He was buried & rose again from the dead on the third day. If you'll believe the Gospel(Jesus's death for your sins, His burial & resurrection)you'll not perish & have everlasting life!
I hawe self one polaris FIB. He hawe to high speed in to landing and landing in same way some the wind! and no water roder in water he cant dont stear the plan when him touch the water!!! you can see my landing, Seek (Tony Grums) on you tube. flying is fun.
No one wants to mention that he is landing this trike with the wind(look at the water). I guess he thought he would save time since landing like he should would have put him out around 500'. Retards like this give the good ultralight/sport pilots a bad name. This thing probably has a cruise around 25 and a stall of around 17. So if the wind is even 5mph it make the landing speed 20 instead of the safe 10mph(or less) that it should have been. Hopefully he got his attitude adjusted with that fail.
I bet he will never "hit" with a big drift again,,,, lucky he was not hurt bad...
