My friend Calvin's buddy Gary doing his first solo. He intended to just do crow hops and accidentally shoved the throttle wide open and found himself the pilot of a Weedhopper. Despite his situation, he held it together long enough to get himself back down but there were sure some scary moments for everyone involved.

  • I am surprised he didnt put it in a tree.

  • Ummm... if he intended to just do a crow hop why didnt he cut the throttle when he left the ground? Lucky that thing is so forgiving.

  • Had me on Pins and Needles... Apparently he kept a cool head about it... Good Job... Don't Forget... YOU HAVE TO CUT HIS SHIRT TAIL Now...!

  • Good thing Weedhoppers are so forgiving to fly....Glad he made it ok.

  • Thats quite impressive indeed
