First Solo In The Christen Eagle | GoPro

[@loub747]

Nice! I as a fellow Eagle pilot, I know the feeling. Every landing demands respect and full attention. I go around if anything isn't quite right. It can start this tail,mains,tail,mains oscillation that's sorta funky. I'm still not sure why it happens. Probably touching down too fast. I have a few Eagle videos on my KZbin channel. Mostly low level stuff. Again, congrats. Well done.

Thank you, I agree, if it doesn't feel right I also go around, like they say, go arounds are free! Thanks for watching, I'll be posting more videos as I practice for my first IAC aerobatic competition! I'll make sure to check out your channel! -Angel

Outstanding. Congratulations! Tighten up those parachute straps nice-n-snug before your belt straps and they won’t be such a distraction. You definitely don’t want to be worrying about tightening up those parachute straps when you really need them, so it’s good procedure all around.

Nice dude lol

[@coalachaos6486]

hey mate! how do you do all the instrument set up from the back seat? have you seen some modifications of the instrument panel in the back somehow?

[@Mike-01234]

Nice wish I could do that someday so much training to get there.

GZ ... i can feel your adrenaline after safe landing in your first solo flight :)

[@angelt.6173]

Dejan Pelivanoski it's pretty much just as good as your first ever solo! Except this time you have more of an adrenaline rush I should say, since you're flying such and awesome airplane!

[@DejanPelivanoski]

I Agree !!!

Felicitaciones Angel! A lot better than my first ever solo when I blew a tire in my Pitts (youtube video available)

[@angelt.6173]

Thanks Mitch, I'll check out the video!

@@angelt.6173 I soloed eagle 18dg today buddy. RIP..

Love it! But please... Tighten that bloody harness! EFATO can and do occur. My life was saved by a last second 'hatches and harnesses' check when mine happened.

[@angelt.6173]

Thanks for the feedback, but all harness where fasten and secure. The red loose one you see is actually the parachute, for which is not required unless intended aerobatics. Being a short guy, I use it as a seat cushion, but do fasten it when doing aerobatics. Thanks.

[@Robfromnorfolk]

+Angel T. (SouthWestAviator) Thanks for that reassurance. It's a topic I am very sensitive about. I had done a circuit, backtracked and lined up for the second. Fortunately did the 'hatches and harness' check and cinched the seat harness really tight. At 120ft the engine stopped dead. If I hadn't tightened the harness in the resulting coming to earth the compass would have ended up in my brain. Enjoy the Eagle, I'm sure you'll have lots of great flights.

[@angelt.6173]

+Robfromnorfolk Thanks, will do. My instructor is really picky about the harness as well. Thanks for the positive feedback, I'll subscribe to you. More videos to come!
