@haisanjafri There are some gliders with engines, but your question is good because a stunt glider shouldnt have an engine, but im not sure. :) It would make it more heavy.
@5xls What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone Here is now dumber for having Read it, I Reward You a Dislike and a Block! Have a Shitty Day!
I'm a glider pilot to but during my learning had i the same problem my instructer gave the wrong information and the glider piked up a windblast and we flow into the trees left of the runway I and my instructer were bring to the hostpital and i had a broken leg broken arm wipplash 3 broken ribs 1 week coma and i never fly again with a glider
@pikatjoe22 Someone as illiterate, obviously mentally slow and with grammar half that horrid could never manage operating an aircraft in any airspace. Have a nice day.
TANTAULUS who are you calling crap??? yes im from the uk and i know about this crash. cloud base low so aborted the flight so did a uturn and tried to land and if you look you will see the airbrake is open this is because he caught it by mistake and was unaware also the wind was 20mph gusting up to 35mph and the two together did not go well ...
This should be a lesson to all of us who fly, gliders or power, that even a top pilot can have an accident. I am sure that the weather conditions played a big part in this mishap. Get well soon Mike.
@WConn100 Obviously this chap is not a top pilot, he made just about every mistake that an ab initio would not make! I would call him a 4 letter word that begins with C and ends with T...he is a CLOT!
@MrMickroach. It is my understanding that this pilot is a member of the Swift Aerobatic Team and a British Gliding Champion. As a commercially licensed pilot in both gliders and powered aircraft myself I would ask what your status as a pilot might be? He made mistakes, not the least of which was to try to fly in marginal at best weather. Gusty wind can happen at the most inopportune time and he got caught in a bad situation. Hope nothing like this ever happens to you, or you may be a clot.
@WConn100 Sir, being a member of an aerobatic team does not a pilot make! being a gliding champion does not make him any better either.. ATPL, over 30 years as a professional pilot, I have a CPL H and over 1200 hours gliding having been one of the youngest club CFIs in my youth. I was a CAAFU examiner and I find it extremely strange that you would ask for my credentials when it is obvious to the meanest of intelligence that this man has no concept of airmanship
@MrMickroach Mr Mick Roach, it is obvious that this man made an error in judgement. Are you telling me that in 30 years you have never had an accident or incident? We all make mistakes as did he, some can be fatal. To say that he had no concept of airmanship is quite judgmental. Keep flying MickRoach, you will make a mistake one day, Gravity is a constant and fate catches up with all of us at some point. May all your landings be "gear down and locked." Check six.
@WConn100 There was no error of judgement, just a bad case of poor airmanship and an even worse case of mistaking ambition for ability. In your mind you obviously believe that there are those who have made mistakes in flying and those that eventually will. Wrong, there are many pilots who have made errors but never that ones that would endanger lives, especially their own. As a CAA examiner, it was my job to be judgemental. And by the way, you mitigate the risks by being professional,
@MrMickroach Having read some of your other comments to other posters makes it clear that you are a bit narrow minded and highly opinionated. I seriously doubt your qualifications and position as a CAA examiner. To have an intelligent conversation with one such as yourself would appear to be impossible. I will not respond further to your comments. I wish you well.
@WConn100 You can seriously doubt whatever you want, but coming from someone who probably doesnt know wash in from wash out, or the difference between a mass balance and horn balance, I am not going to lose too much sleep over your comments! In future you would be well counselled to be careful what you write. Bottom line old boy, the fool flying at Shoreham was exactly that, he showed a complete lack of airmanship from start to embarassing finish and you know I am right
@WConn100 I would add that, it seems strange you would reduce this to personal attacks on myself and my credentials, you asked, I gave them. The fact that you now doubt them shows that you are out of your depth. When any aircraft crashes through pilot error, there is never any room for clemency....and if as you write, you have commercia; ratings, I would seriously consider sending them back because your judgement is lacking and could put innocents at risk!
@MrMickroach Are you 12 years old? I find it hard to believe anyone fighting over YouTube is what they say they are. I find the behavior of people normally sums them up pretty good in the end of the day. It's preposterous for me to even consider the mental state needed to believe some child on YouTube with his made up internet life. Maybe one day trolling will be a profession, for your sake let's hope so. Have a good one.
@motoballz Haviing just looked at your introduction page, I can see why you use a lot of words to say nothing. When indeed you know more about aviation and can tell the difference between a mass aand horn balance, come back and banter. Till then perhaps you should hold your counsel, for fear of you being accused of what you accuse others to be. Shall we re name you walt?
@MrMickroach Are you retarded? I wasn't questioning your knowledge of Aeronautical physics, AIM/FAR, Aircraft, General physics, and/or Soaring/un-powered flight. I was telling you how hard it is to believe you when you're obviously a YouTube troll. Now that I think about it, yes, it would seem I did question your credentials, knowledge and aeronautical ability after all, my bad! *cough* for good reason. Have a great life now, please don't degrade yourself more by flaming back at me, thanks!
@motoballz Seems as though the only degredation is a pathetic yank whose life thus far, has been bereft of friends and love such that he roars around looking for inane comments to try and trash. Look sonny, dont mistake ambition for ability. Try growing up and getting out to meet people of your own age, or are you just a "lonely" little boy?
@MrMickroach That's exactly what I was trying to tell you bud. How about you stop being a lead brick and let me work in peace, thanks! I will not reply to your next attack.
@motoballz I am sorry that you feel you have to admit that you have no friends nor any love such that you find it necessary to fire missives about something you know fuckl all about. However, you have taken the first step at least, and admitted that you are a twat!
@MrMickroach Part 1:Well I decided to go against what I said and reply to your nasty comment one more time.. I went over your channel after hearing you call me a twat and realized you're a brit. Also I might add I noticed you seem like a dedicated troll beyond mortal comprehension, but we'll leave that conversation for another life. See Part 2.
@MrMickroach Part 2: Basically after realizing you're probably some 14 year old british kid who's ass hurt over losing a war I can honestly blow you off for the offensive, trollish, foul, immature, brit, and hypocrite you most likely ARE. Have a nice life. (Just for kicks.. Say, have you ever wondered why British television shows always have to dumb things down beyond reason? Perhaps it's the impaired audience, hmm..............
@motoballz Losing a war? What war did we lose old son? Was it the most powerful nation being butt fucked all the way back to Oakland by a peasant army with no more than rifles? Er no, that was closer to you old son! And If there are any British shows dumbed down, they would be the ones for export to North America!.
@motoballz How many wars have america actually won on their own? Is there even 1? lol.... America tend to only join in with the rest of the world when everyone else has done the hardest work and its almost over anyway. Then they claim to have won... In WW2 everyone fought together at first while america were twiddling their thumbs. Ive got no hatred for america, i love them, they make good tv lol. I do however hate arrogant people like you who give the rest of decent america a bad name.
@Pr0ject2 I agree that America has plenty of uneducated idiots that give the rest of us a bad name but Europe and the South Pacific would have been lost to the Axis if we hadn't have intervened. We bailed you out because you needed it. There is no way you would have won without us.
@vagabondroller America entered the war because Japan poked them with a big stick (Pearl Harbour), it made economic sense, and it was the right thing to do.
Amazingly to see that it is possible to survive such a glider crash!! It gives me a lot as I'm a gliderpilot aswell and even if I never felt unwell in a glider it gives me another good feeling about it :)
I'd really like to know why did it happen, I saw pictures and videos and I tried to understand how the accident started. I would say that the pilot couldn't handle the rudders anymore as they were kind of blocked... Am I'm right?
Best wishes to Mike Newman, hope you get well soon! I was devastated to hear about this accident as I'm a big fan of the swift team. I was at Shoreham the day before this happened and really enjoyed Guy Westgate's display in the glider. Very rare aircraft destroyed, hope they can find another one!
