  • VELOCIDAD y altura conservan la dentadura. (in spanish, speed and altitude preserve the denture). He climbed, loosing speed and also the control....then, spin and crash

  • must be rigged wrong

  • As that is a rigid wing.. How do you get out of a spin? In a full sized glider it would be HARD opposite rudder... I don't think he has a rudder by the look of it, glade he was not hurt though. Cheers Pete

  • Pregunto?... Este tipo de Ala entra tan facil en un spin ante un Stall o una perdida de velocidad tan minima porque en el video se ve que no hubo falla en la estructura del Ala para que generara un Spin tan facil

  • The pilot ponced about a bit on take off ,but it looked to be flying fast enough to me. Any chance it was a green dust devil? Got caught by one of those once spun round twice and spat out. Apart from a few bits of straw to show it was there, nothing. Glad the pilot was fine.

  • err is the front flying wires connected properly. looks like the A frame is to far back

  • After looking at the takeoff frame by frame, you'll notice at 0:48 and on that the flaps are not lowered in the "slower speed " launch position. I have a topless flex wing with carbon winglets & they along with the twist in the trailing edge greatly helps in tip stall prevention at really slow speeds. If this accident had of happened a bit higher or coming in a low turn at the LZ, the outcome may have been a serious injury or worst.

  • I've been told that every one you walk away from is "a landing" and not a crash. Still, this was a pretty scary landing. Glad nobody was hurt seriously on this one. I'd certainly have to clean out my shorts if I were the pilot after this one.

  • That was crazy... wow. Glad the guy is ok.

  • The only thing worse than the crash is the crap music, what were you thinking!

    Glad the pilot was OK.
