Microlite Impossible

[skul255]

Looks like a Phantom...

[flihigh99]

Its not a Bantam. I think its an X Air-well the microlight taking off and landing is, the aerobatic rc model not sure what that was.

I fly a Bantam and have seen a Bantam perform mild aerobatics. Microlights are beautiful aircraft.

[fxblaze]

It's an X-Air Standard. I have one of these planes, and though I have never tried aerobatics in it doesn't mean it can't.

[TanzanianRoots]

no wait its not a bantam. ignore me.

[TanzanianRoots]

its a b22 bantam. Definitly not aerobatic!

[DinoDoesStuff]

The exhaust trail from the RC 2 stroke engine is the give away and the fact that the acrobatic video is preceeded with a fade. Good attempt though! :)

[maxzilla21]

What plane is that?

[timandrew1]

Nice plane. I had a Cessna 150 for 8 years, then sold it, looking to buy a Xair, Flightstar or Challenger.

Although I belong to an Aeronca club, those taildraggers are tough to fly on cross winds. Even looking at paramotors, since I owned a paraplane. My questions is, how do you like yours?

Nice Vid, I don't think its the same plane doing the aerobatics. Never saw a Microlight that can do snap rolls LOL

[ruiaircraft]

lol it is a RC when it is that impossible ... its wings can not do that it !

[MrCrash1956]

RC

[michaelpham12]

lol.. it changes colour when it is in the air!! sus. much??

[jamesgreenhalgh1]

what even model is it in the sky

[brofun]

that looks like a RC after it's in the sky!

[TheGreatFlyer]

@brofun True!

[Evsy991]

Yh its rc as u can see the nitro trail.

[dandantheairplaneman]

As aerobatics arent allowed on microlights im assuming that was an RC..or atleast hoping so :P

[cruisinbysom]

Very good, I think if you had slowed the model bit down a tad it would have looked more convincing, very good though.

[CrazySinan]

IT IS LOOK LIKE AN RC PLANE :)))

[xairob]

hi john, just wondered if you scratch built the model or a kit.

would like to build one to compliment my full size xair.cheers rob c

parte deste vídeo é um AEROMODELO !!!

[fgarganese]

Questo video è per tutti quelli che credono che ci voglia un ultraleggero costoso per volare bene. Meditate...

[JonnyTommyGuns]

this thing would fall like a rock out of the sky. gliders are where its at.....

[chimango22]

Viejo trucho...!!! un RC muy lindo pero si logras hacer una maniobra de esas con esa verga de ultraliviano, yo me hago cura de todas las religiones. jajajaja

[gerandrade]

Parabens para a Micrlolit, o bichinho é fantastico uma versão perfeita de um ultraleve esperto, dorso e manobras perfeitas, gostei!.

[undergroundbasement]

can someone tell how much this EXACT type microlite would cost....and also, is the upkeep on the engine hard, and lastly- this particular model...could it glide down safely if the engine shutdown, I want one but I want one that could come down in a glide instead of dropping like a rock out of the sky

[parafan]

About $20-30K US for the real plane... a lot less for the R/C used in the video! Like any airplane, it can glide when the engine quits.

[dattoli101]

The music is old school and really sucks!!

[daijohn3]

surte it is,smart arse, but I bet you cant fly or build like that(PS. I am the pilot AND the builder!)

[sdjmdnfl]

nice RC imo well done!!

[BgDmSWEDE]

YEH.. NICE TRY

[islandmicrolightclub]

The real X-Air can take some punishment, but I'm sure it wouldn't fare too well if you tried those manoevres in one!

Cool vid nonetheless!

[CatPilot]

so much fake...there's a Dihedral to the RC model plane even when inverted...and the ultralight is a straight wing. Plus the RC plane color is close to piper cub yellow than than the neon yellow of the real plane.

[daijohn3]

course its fake- its a model-bet you couldnt do as well!

[34highroller]

I was getn kinda pumped up on getn an x-air after watchn this vid,but I didnt think they were stressed for aerobatics,considering the boom tube looks like something off of a cheap swing set LOL!!!

[kjlundgreen]

I think it is a model in the aerobatics. Look at the leading edge. No green like on the ground.

[1992cjcollins1992]

very clever!! :)

[BANGERS68]

ha ha snyde

[rhewllwyd]

Oh, come on. Look at the difference between the two aircraft.

[DARKnDODGY]

now thats how you fligh a fuckin micro lite...if you wanna know how to fly a micro lite....thats fuckin it people...

[Seymoreofu]

...and that gentlemen... is how it's done.

Good work guys. DDay.

[ARTF]

Sneaky

What scale is the model?

[thepastyflyer]

Hi, I'm not sure what scale the model is, I was only the camera man and editor, I'll find out tho, I've got a Microlite Impossible in the making vid to go up which will show how it was done...
