So what was the plan if the engine quits...definately a 2 stroke if Im not mistaken

[MrSportflight]

@jimbobheath You are right it is a 2 stroke, but in my experience the Rotax 503 is the most reliable 2 cycle engine manufactured. 4 cycle engines quit too! and so all flights should be conducted with the possibility of engine failure. More important, I planned the flight to always position the aircraft to be able to glide to a safe spot by either converting excess height or excess speed to a long glide in ground effect. A video might look risky, but you should plan ahead to minimize the risks.

The Prop is a Warp Drive 70 inch on the E Gearbox with a 3.47:1 ratio. The exhaust manifold is coated by Jet Hot in Sterling Extreme and the rest of the muffler in Sterling coating

I really enjoyed this video Mr. Sportflight. That's a sharp looking plane you're flying too.  When can we expect more?
