Phil's Ultralight Pilot Training - Part 2

[@markhull1366]

Super job Phil. The camera puts us right there in the seat with you. Anyone who says it's "easy" obviously hasn't done it!

[@aerolite103buildersvlog8]

Thanks, Mark! I didn't mean to mislead anyone by alluding to someone saying that it was "easy". Apologies. What I said in the video is 'experienced pilots' make it look "easy" due to their training and practice. "Blue Skies & Tail-Winds".

[@markhull1366]

@@aerolite103buildersvlog8 No, I understood what you exactly meant. I've heard some over the years make "off handed" comments that flying UL aircraft "couldn't be that hard". Watching you having to hold that nose off and the constant back pressure needed (without trim) made me think of those making that "observation". My instructor made me do that same thing in a 152 as part of my training. He felt it developed better pilot control over the aircraft in that transition phase of flight. All I know is that I didn't have a dry shirt when we were done and it wasn't even hot outside!

@@markhull1366 Right on! Yeah people can be ignorant and over-confident. That's a recipe for disaster I don't want in my log book, for sure. I want to be the best pilot I can be and if I follow that goal I'll achieve it. But it's going to take a long time and some hard work on my part. It's gonna pay dividends BIG TIME. Anything worth anything in life takes dedication and drive to achieve it. Stay tuned. You're witnessing the evolution of a land-lover to a pilot. :)

Phil, looking good man! Can't wait to see more of your training and then that one perfect day when you pull the stick back in your own aircraft!!! Great Job Phil!

[@rodgerwestberry1466]

You're doing great, thanks for sharing your experience!

[@Tryagain205]

This is the most real and raw footage I've seen on how to fly an aircraft. Thanks! Must be crazy difficult to learn to steer with your feet.

[@jazzman5598]

I am an old pilot. Nice vid! I can type because I was never a bold pilot :-)

[@neilfox4721]

Great to see you enjoying your lessons.

[@andreweverts4291]

Thrilling! Maybe one day....

[@jbl7092]

Thrilling! Seriously? At least he's sharing everything, including the thrlling taxi. lol.

[@alaskaaksala123]

You’ll be flying in no time!...

[@innocentbystander3798]

OMG - that's a DC3 parked right there.

[@carpenterfamily6198]

Time and money well spent . . . a better and safer pilot.

[@jimash2607]

Too bad, can't get comments. No audio from instructor.

[@bushpilotdude7154]

Has that aircraft ever left the ground?

[@aerolite103buildersvlog8]

LOL. Yes. Continue watching my vids and you'll see.

[@jedsonleite3292]

Hey Phil how many hours did you do of training

[@aerolite103buildersvlog8]

About 10 and still adding.

[@Juanitro81]

Hello! Can you tell me where is that please Thanks

[@aerolite103buildersvlog8]

Acampo/Lodi Airport, Acampo California

[@francisklambauer144]

YOU DON"T KNOW HOW TO FLY MISTER! Your scary!!!!

[@jackcreley5438]

It's a shame the instructor couldn't have been heard. Maybe next time.

[@aerolite103buildersvlog8]

I agree to a point. That said my training experiences are not for anyone else's personal instruction purposes. If sound was included it might be mis-used for that instead of one outlaying their own money and getting formal training with a qualified instructor in their own region - like I am.

[@esau82]

@@aerolite103buildersvlog8 well thats a stupid comment, if someone wants to hear the instructor is not because they want to go and buy an airplane and get taught by your videos

[@aerolite103buildersvlog8]

@@esau82 Stupid is......as stupid does, Esau. If you don't like my opinion/s or channel, take a hike and go somewhere else. My channel. My rules!

[@jamesordwayultralightpilot]

@@esau82 that's a stupid comment, he paid for the lesson, you didn't. And you want to hear what he heard? Give him half his fees and he'll share what he learned.

[@captaintimbailes7971]

I'm not sure why you even call this Pilot Training! We can't hear a single thing you guys are saying. You clearly have this video labeled incorrectly.

[@jamesordwayultralightpilot]

Apparently a lot of people are looking for free lessons on KZbin.

[@jamesordwayultralightpilot]

It's not pilot training for you, it was pilot training for him. He went and learned something and he wanted to show us what it was like. Shut up and be grateful.

[@captaintimbailes7971]

@@jamesordwayultralightpilot Well, apparently they read the post and fixed it and at least told use what they were doing. So you can shut up butt head.

[@captaintimbailes7971]

@@jamesordwayultralightpilot This has nothing to do with free lessons. It was about his experience.

[@adrienbastarache8096]

why don'tyou get a go kart,i does the same thing.

[@jamesordwayultralightpilot]

You gotta learn how to drive it across the ground before you can fly it through the air. You also gotta get a feel for the rotation speed so you'll know when it leaves the ground.

Another 9:29 wasted, no need to watch part 3
