Yeah, the landing was kind of a stinker, but if I ever I meet some of these youtube/FS expert pilots, I'm going to get them up in a nice howler x-wind, and at short final I'm going to fold my arms and say "ok, stud, handle it!" and listen to them cry for their mother. You could see the wind pushing you around at tree top level- it was going to be a handful.
No damage/injuries and you probably learned something- you did just fine.
Why on earth would you post that landing for the world to see? I would have edited it out and replaced it with cute kittens playing or something to make people feel like if you did show the landing, it was a warm and fuzzy one...yeesh! I guess it's a good video for what NOT to do!
I hope you have improved your ability to land the plane, I have never seen anyone go that far off center line on a go around! You did react quickly though when you recognized things were not right, have to give you credit for that.
Holy CRAP! You almost wrecked that plane! Be thankful there wasn't an aircraft on the taxiway you barely flew over. The FAA would have your license right now, maybe you should consider just surrendering it to them!
Damn damn damn damn, worst landing video ever on youtube?
Im doing Aviation Management w/Flight Option so I went up there to go check out the hangar and the planes. Didnt get lucky enough to fly in the XL2 but i flew one of the better warriors for a night flight. Tower was user friendly. I really like the school
Ouch. Gotta bleed off more airspeed. Keep that stick back after landing. You're still flying the plane until you tie it down. =) Good call on the go-around.
No, my name is Brandon. I came up there and stayed with josh matthews for the open house and i ended up flying with someone named kevin. If i get accepted ill be there come fall of 2009
That was sloppy Poppy.

i spent 60 hoursa on XL2s nice aircraft to fly however they will bite if landed shit..
you made the right call to go round the XL2 has a poor nose wheel strut and is suseptable to prop strikes..
my only critism is you look like you comeing in too fast there however you went round and probably landed ok,, which i cant fualt you for .
