RC Ultralights Trike second flight and Crash at Club Mars

[@alexj3709]

I flew an early Rogollo wing hang glider in the early 1970s and survived a lot of flying but it was scary and primitive compared to today's hang gliders. But I survived without a crash, unlike your machine here, but I had more guts than your pilot. Great model, looks like it was fun to build and fun to fly. Thanks for posting this!

[@MonostripeZebra]

I think there are 2 main problems: a)it only had a skeleton crew and b) the pilot did not have a hands-on approach.

[@paulbizard3493]

A skeleton pilot is a dead pilot. A dead pilot will not fly the plane properly. I makes sense... LOL

[@keithgreer7709]

Man that sucks that is the most coolest RC flying ultralight that I have ever seen

[@InoFughaul]

Lol... I was expecting a "dead stick" landing!

[@gabrielbennett5162]

That thing looks like the old NASA Parasev, only with a motor. My grandfather, Vic Horton, was a project manager on the Parasev in 1963 and designed the wing pivot using a salvaged ball joint from a 1950s Buick. They had their share of crashes with it.

I was just going to say modern hangliders unlike this Rogelio style have luff lines to help prevent uncontrolled nose down input , then it nosed in. Nice model👍

[@user-sz8tp4zu3n]

I fly RC. I have to say that this is hilarious! I have never seen anybody build or fly something like this.

[@superpela1]

Check MIA ultralights , Mario has a lot of this models

[@mjd4174]

Ouch rogallos don't like sideslips or negative loading.. bonk! Cool model hope it flew/flies again.

[@bobi2582]

The wing is way too small. But well done for the attempt and keeping it in the air as long as you did!

[@RaymondLohengrin]

Correct, it is flying because of the tremendous speed of the engine,notice that it is almost running at full and if the engine speed is reduced it would not glide and dive right away.

[@koalatails6391]

The scale of the kite looks wrong when compared to the “pilot”. It flew well so the wing loading must be Ok. You should be proud, it’s unique, quirky, and fun. If only you could land without stop tip-stalling! 😁

🤣🤣🤣☠☠☠☠

[@cinemoriahFPV]

So if a dead person crashes a plane, do they become alive?

[@u171098atgmail]

definite maybe!

[@tomtom9184]

Very interesting. It's a variation of zero to negative lift problem seen in weight shift control. it started with a slip in this case. The control method should really be called lift vector control in relation to the center of gravity. No lift = no control. Negative lift = reversed control. Full size weight shift control wings have a lot of attention in the design of the wing to keep them from entering zero lift.

How many bones were broken Ha Ha, very nice sorry it had to happen, he probably didn't feel a thing, Best wishes from UK

[@Lozzie74]

Upon autopsy the pilot’s body was found to be in a highly advanced stage of decomposition.

[@tonnieoostbeek4007]

The rare situation where the pilot dead long before the crash 😀😀😀

[@yansenpicasso7021]

Woooow!! Horror Rc....nice ....

[@sangokyoon5545]

This is the plane I want to make. I tried it once with the KITE, but it flew just as well as yours and crashed at Bankton. We are currently collecting materials to make with the GLOW40 engine. If there was a drawing when making it, I would like to see it.

[@mikedaniels4638]

It seemed like it had a positive weight to power ratio

[@tiporari]

Shame it crashed, it looked very cool. Nice build though! Hopefully you could salvage most of it.

[@tungym]

Tail wind and lack of relative forward speed causing the crash ?

[@quantumac]

Joe decided to call it quits after his _second_ lethal landing...

[@funkybassguy68]

Flying it like a sportplane caused the crash but very cool rc plane

[@Eagle44]

thanks for sharing

[@j-fsarra-bournet9670]

👍

[@u171098atgmail]

that was absolutely fucking awesome!

[@1111go]

Bare bones flying

[@alextrezvy6889]

Is there an article or a video on how to build it?

[@j-fsarra-bournet9670]

no there is no video it was a member of the club who built the model

[@johnhubbard3399]

Is that Jerry Garcia flying that thing ? LOL

[@johnvititoe6051]

No wonder he crashed. That skinny pilot took his hands off the control bar.

[@pfiltz]

R.I.P.

[@skytalon74]

Wingover then stall..?.. nice attempt

[@norbertk.1473]

...und, oh! Jetz is der Tod tödlich verunglückt.

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

It almost looked like the wing had a slight negative angle of attack just before the crash,

[@tungym]

I think it is the tail wing and relative lack of forwarding speed causing the crash.

[@iplaymytele]

OH SHIT...! I didn’t know it was going to end like that.......😹😹😹

[@scotabot7826]

Could see that coming from a mile away!!!!

[@OzFPVflyer]

Most scale pilots who don't fly the model "scale like" crash. the bigger you go the more you fly it like its real.

[@royalanania3306]

A doomned flight,but the passenger was dead before hitting the ground.

[@mjproebstle]

he really boned the landing

[@luizsantos9102]

Kkkkkk gostei

[@norbertk.1473]

HAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍 0:01

[@hampopper3150]

Someone call the FFA Achmed is flying a plane without a license again.

[@luizsantos9102]

Kkkkkkk muito bom.kkkkkkk
