  • is a rans s9 , not is a S7 ! bye

  • like bending a wire back and forth again.only a matter of time before it snaps.

  • malcookie thanks man

  • Go to 2.15 to save time

  • what retard put the flags there?

  • @MrAviator81 He was inverted so he pulled some negative G. Aircraft are able to accept much more positive G like 6 to 9 than negative G like -1 to -3 so it doesnt take to much negative G

  • Wow! Thanks god for that parachute system! I am very interested in doing acrobatics, but still need to come to terms that a wing could break off:/ Seems like he wasn't even being that rough on the controls for it to break a wing off, but we can never be to sure I guess.

  • Just one thing - This is not a Rans S7 (which is not aerobatic). It is a Rans S10 Sakota or S9 Chaos (single seat).

  • The guy that is narrating what is going on, it says that the pilot got out of the aircraft before it caught on fire. These are really good systems and they should be available on every aircraft

  • Quite amazing. I am tasked with installing one of these systems on an an experimental aircraft at work. I am happy to see how well they work. I need to research the story a bit, but did the pilot manage to exit the aircraft before it caught fire? Also, why was the pilot cycling the rudder so rapidly during his descent? Just showing a sign of life or perhaps trying to un-foul the harness from the rudder??
