  • uhhh...didn't look like he almost crashed. He hit the pylon and immediately pulled up. The pylons are designed to come apart. I don't get it. Where's the "almost crash" part of this scenario?

  • For those who don't already know, Angle of attack is the angle formed by the relative wind and the chord, not the horizon ! The ange between the horizon and the horizontal axis of the aircaft is called pitch attitude. Do not mix up the two, and you'll be the greatest armchair experts on youtube :D !

    N.B: relaive wind always coincides with the aircrafts trajectory, but is of opposite direction.

  • @TheDudeFrom0Z Nope. The thing about those planes is the speed. An ejection seat weights too much so they don't put it in. Not to mention most prop planes don't carry them... or civilian planes for that matter.

  • @WhiteArcticFoxhound yeah I don't see the rudder move but the plane yaws after it hits the pylon and then the tail comes back in line. All the aerobatic aircraft I have flown are happy to be uncoordinated, although I have never flown an Extra.

  • @40joel To me it doesn't look like he used any rudder :/

  • the fact is that the the propeller slowed down and the plane obviously stalled a bit.. but we gotta say this guy had a master control with the rudder.. they are fuckin awesome..

  • stall... no stall there

  • do they have ejector seats?

  • when did it stall?
