"Let it wobble", as told to me by my instructor on numerous occasions in my early flexwing flying days. Only attempt to correct it if you're blown off course, or descending or ascending significantly. You just have to get used to it but its no fun feeling like youre in a washing machine😬 Btw, when backtracking you should be on the right-hand side of the runway. Fly safe and enjoy it 😁

I’ve really wanted to fly an ultralight. I’ve got my part 107 and that made me go through PPL ground school andI’ve even been practicing in a flight sim quite a bit. One thing that really makes me wonder though… I made all the usual mistakes in the sim. Crashed many times, but one time even after I got the hang of it and was flying it in the sim regularly, I was flying in Arizona in the simulator and like you, came over a mountain ridge, and for some reason, was slammed into the ground. Almost like I lost all the air beneath me. My ultralight was flying perfect and the next thing you know I was diving into the ground. I’m not sure if it was a glitch in the sim or something I should consider before I start actually trying to fly one of these. I’m in Florida so it’s not like I have to worry about turbulent air around mountains, but still makes me wonder if that’s a reality that deserves consideration. I know turbulence is something that has to be dealt with, but how an ultralight handles it comparatively to maybe a Cessna 172 is another thing. I don’t have the experience to know the difference.

@@lycosa2000 ultralights like my Trike wing are tested to way beyond what you should ever be flying in , with that said anything can happen , but anything can happen anywhere you are and anything you travel in. It’s a calculated risk but the risk for me is worth the reward. You should always strive to make it as safe as possible for instance checking weather several days and the day of before deciding to fly. You should always do a good preflight. Always keep your head on a swivel and don’t get fixated on any certain object or direction. A Sim can only do so much . The more you fly and the more experience you attain the better you’ll become as a pilot. With that being said a lot of the time it’s the ones who have been flying for a while and get complacent are the ones who have accident’s. If it’s not calm out and I don’t know direction of the wind I tend to fly a little higher above the mountain ridges. Open air flying is limited to weather but it is by FAR the best type of flying. Thank you for watching and commenting and GODspeed on learning to fly whatever craft you choose .

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I do realize how important it is to actually start flying and gain experience outside in the real world. I’m getting close to making that decision. I’m close to having saved the money and go out and buy one. I have to admit it’s been bothering me about the experience in the sim. Everything went out of control really fast and I could not recover. Thankfully, I was safe in my desk chair so it’s not like it was traumatizing, but it just had me scratching my head. Could this happen out there while I’m flying? Could I just be thrown into the ground with little time to react? I also consider how each of us get into a car every day and every day, probably hundreds or thousands of times people don’t have time to react and find themselves in accidents and in varying degrees. Since we’re all used to it, we don’t think much about jumping behind the wheel and driving. I have to assume it’s a little like that. The more you fly, the more you gain confidence about your ability to fly and trust in the aircraft. Like you’ve said, complacency is dangerous and I certainly agree with that. At this point I can’t even imagine getting to the point of complacency. I’m more worried that I’m a little too apprehensive about it. I can’t wait to try it, but honestly, I keep second guessing it as well. I suppose that’s probably normal.

@@lycosa2000 I’ve never seen anyone thrown to the ground like you’re describing. You can hit what’s sometimes referred to as sink or maybe rotor close to the ground but you are usually ready and expecting anything as you speed up and focus on landing. As I’m sure you may have heard already if not you will that altitude is your friend. You have more of a chance to react if something should occur. When you begin training with someone most or all of what you’re asking will be covered. Turbulence is sometimes scarier than others because air as you know is invisible lol. If there is a little wind and you know which way it’s blowing you can avoid it for the most part like staying away from the leeward side of hills and mountains and or being well above them. If you get into Trikes you will love them or hate them as there’s usually no middle ground lol. The great things about Trikes are the glide ratio and ability to land slow and in most places other aircraft can’t land .

What’s with that weird Bible verse crap at the start of this video? Nobody wants to see that. Stop wasting your time on fairytales. You’re an organism just like everything else and you’re going to end up like them, atoms that go back into the universe. Religion and priests have hurt and ruined more kids than it’s helped, and religious wars have killed hundreds of millions, not saved them. This little glider is as close as you’ll get to “heaven”. Wake up.

I’m sorry you feel that way . I would try and change your mind but only Creator GOD can do that . I do agree with you about religion and that’s the reason true Christian’s aren’t religious, it’s a relationship. I will pray for the HOLY SPIRIT to open the eyes of your heart. Thanks for watching and commenting.

These are a little sketchy. I give anyone who flies one "props." There were a few times during that flight I would've had trouble. I know it gets easier but I love having a rudder. Looking good tho!
