@@Justwantahover when the nose was down, he was probably at a high power setting, the propeller most exceeded its limits of rotations per minute. This is why there is an accessory gear box on turbo prop engines because the output is so high it could exceed the limits of of what the propeller can handle. So there is a gear box that allows only a certain amount of power to go through so that won’t happen.

Absolutely stunning airmanship. Get out of the spin, get airspeed, figure out where you are, establish the abbreviated landing pattern, keep all the turns coordinated, get that nose down, manage the energy, don't roll out too early, land on the upwind main, let the speed bleed instead of fighting it. You can see every step, executed with crisp precision.

Yeah seemed like amazing reaction time to line up with so little altitude. But as acrobat has to be aware of orientation/position/altitude at all times anyway, already flying 'very intensely'. And he showed he was doing that right. Seems impressive, and is, but consider everything he is already doing is equally impressive and intense also. I don't think he had time to 'think' and panic is not in vocab of an acrobat. Missing prop 'instantly' told him he was landing. Happened so fast spin into landing was all one thing. I don't think missing prop affected CG much though, not like engine fell off (decreased drag just a bit too lol). And that airframe has a wide cg range. Yeah I wonder too about prop..hard fast lock of engine caused prop/bolts to break?
@Anita_Rober_y_su_Mundo7 жыл бұрын
Usually you say goodbye to your prop if the engine break and stop breaking the bolts or bolts is not well checked. He has to stop the engine and glide to runway in a perfect maneuvering but he is responsible of bad manteinance of the plane.

I was at that airshow. My brother and I provided the sound system. Pilot said the prop was installed only 10 flight hours before the separation. Prop was located in the woods on opposite side of the runway from the crowd. I do not recall reason for separation. I was holding the show center walkie talkie. After prop separation, what is not heard on the video was the pilot radioed air show center and said "have the people watch this". The announcer relayed it to the audience. Pilot was referring to his graceful landing I guess. That same pilot went up later that same day in another plane his wife normally flew to do another aerobatic routine. Nerves of steel!!!! That tall person in light colored clothes going up to greet the pilot after he stopped rolling is the legend himself, Bob Hoover.

if you look closely in the spin, you'll see that it's a spin to the left, and at first he's holding hard left rudder, which keeps the spin going (to counter a spin, hold full opposite rudder). eventually (after the prop flies off) you see the rudder change to the right, which got him out of the spin. this is MUCH easier said than done, especially when you're in the air, disoriented, and freaking out. great recovery and an amazing landing.

Dudeman9339 Can you please explain us why would such thing be true? Do you believe that if he was higher (before beginning the stall attempt) and the prop would've came off, it would've been worse? Even at 5:38 when he begun climbing if the prop would've come off, it would've been an impossible situation as he had enough speed to convert into altitude or a good landing pattern. People..., think twice before you write something!
@Maverickf22flyer9 жыл бұрын
Dudeman9339 You don't know what you are talking about indeed:P! Look man, if you ain't a pilot or haven't flown an aircraft in a simulator, don't talk anymore, please..., for the sake of your mind and other around! Even if he would've lost the engine that way just before reaching a vertical position, he didn't need to do a tailslide (obviously you don't know how it's called) to recover it (and use the gained altitude to his advantage). Speed doesn't drop in an instant if you loose the engine! You want me to calculate how long it would've taken him to stop in midair with his nose pointed vertically if he wouldn't react, from the moment the prop went off? I'll calculate it and prove to you he had enough time to push the stick before the airspeed would've dropped in the first place. Secondly, even if in a near vertical tailslide (assuming the pilot won't react before the speed drops), these light airplanes won't loose more than 20 meters from their initial height before coming to a new normal flight with the same speed that it had before starting the climb if the pilot implies correct inputs. Let me give an example: Let's say this type of aircraft (very low wing loading) has no engine (ripped off like here) and starts pulling into the vertical from 1000m height and 200km/h from horizontal flight. Let's assume that throughout the pull from horizontal to vertical, the plane drops from 200 to 150km/h, so the speed drop countdown starts from 150km/h towards 0km/h, before a tailslide starts to occur. From 150 to 0km/h, the pilot has exactly 4.25 seconds (4 seconds) to push/pull the stick or slam his foot on a pedal, so don't tell me that he can't do anything...! But let's say he's not reacting at all and keeps holding it vertical until a tailslide starts. Now..., the tailslide can't hold forever, and even with inputs held at neutral, in no more than a second (4.9 meters dropped) the plane would start to pitch, roll and yaw, so it would start dropping the nose whatever you'd try afterwards..., in just 5..10 meters until the nose drops to about 90 deg, so there's no "slid backwards a LONG distance crashing him into the ground" as you've said. From here the pilot can pull at maximum lift (not past critical AoA) to fly horizontally again. So it's maximum 10 meters for nose up to nose down height loss +20 meters that are lost anyway during any slide = 30 meters (almost a 10 story building) maximum height loss from initial height after exiting the tailslide in the worst manner and so in this given example the final height would be about 970 meters after going horizontal again. The aircraft here as true example, started to pull from around 100-150 meters height (let's just say 100 only, but I doubt the regulations let him start so low), so according to the above remarks, this aircraft would've exited at about 60-70 meters AGL (above ground level) which was enough to let him land on a nearby grass field if unable to complete a normal landing pattern while gliding. I might do a long talk, but I do it if I find it necessary! If you don't know something, then ask..., but don't tell things which are out of logic and you don't even want to listen! Waiting for your reply..., or just don't don't reply anymore if you don't know things well enough!

He has a little more incentive to do it correctly; you don't die if your RC crashes. (Maybe if it crashed into you...)

Obviously he was spinning his plane the wrong way and the propeller unscrewed itself. You always have to spin against the way that the propeller is screwed on don't you know?

Let's face it: There is only so much stress that a prop flange can take - over time. Probably had tiny stress cracks that deleloped into one BIG STRESS crack! Had that happen to a friend - in his Pitts. Was just off shore (Florida, East coast, X59) when his prop came off and went into the ocean! He glided to a nice landing on highway A1A, missed all of the power lines and cars, and turned off at the first street!! Then he said there were LOTS of Blue lights! :-) Took the wings off and trailered the plane back to X59. New prop and flange - and away we go!!
