STOL 2009 May Day Fly In High Lights and Crashes

[@retroairliner7449]

1:44 who else heard someone shout GOD DAMMIT!! after the crowd

[@seanbooher8252]

I think it was the pilot, to be honest. Not sure why he thought he could stand on the brakes like that in a taildragger.

[@retroairliner7449]

Sean Booher yeah your right

[@epicmetod]

Its his mom who told him not to fly it 22 times

[@dtroystopper2]

@6 6 Get a hobby other than looking for misspellings on the internet, troll.

[@fastfiddler1625]

Last guy... "Did I win? That was pretty short right? I knew that prop would help slow me down."

[@angelaalcazar920]

Polices yous please good reste with Rosario moreno please yous rested with Rosario moreno vilador

[@MajesticSkywhale]

1:50 "See? TOLD YOU I COULD STOP SHORT!"

[@durkadnsahin734]

LoL

[@indridcold8433]

Still watching this video a decade later! I love aviation, in all its forms.

[@DrumCoversbyBill]

Whoa, I bet that last prop strike was costly.

[@ezragonzalez8936]

Yup new engine!

[@jomomma8754]

1:52 GOD DAMN IT. I feel your pain man, that would suck.

[@SalamenceFury]

That looks like a lot of my War Thunder landings.

[@descent8275]

:D

[@hughflyboy]

Wow!

[@SerSaratan]

That doesn't look like my gta 5 landings

[@Nikarus2370]

I wish the brakes on planes in WT were 1/20th as good as the brakes on these planes.

[@aviationaudits]

Crazy Slow Landings there, thanks for sharing!

[@ElCidCampeador8]

1:51 This is the EXACT reason why my STOL aircraft will be a Zenithair CH 801. Carries more, costs less, and nosing over will never be a problem! :)

[@aperkausn]

The guy with the modified yellow cub totally beasted that takeoff, 50 ft maybe? Incredible.

[@robstanton9215]

He built that Super Cub. That’s Greg Miller. His channel here on KZbin is Mauleguy. He also flies a Maule he named Bushwacker.

[@Matcham11]

1:51 That sound is hart breaking :'-(

[@jcitapolis]

Affffffff... Very Nice. The yellow plane at 01:00 is fantastic. Very short!

[@aequxm]

1:46 is when my sister gets up in the morning and tries to be as quiet as she can be going down the hallway.

[@Airsoftred]

That supercub pilot had some damn good control (the one at 56)

[@MCGamingTV]

The Super Cub is the trickyest plane but also the best! Thumbs Up!

[@ColeAviation]

That is some dang GOOD pilots right there now. That one yellow plane must have takin off within 30 to 40 feet. That was AWWWESOME.!!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@danielisbell4882]

think I saw that in a diff video it was like 14' 6"

[@00BillyTorontoBill]

Brilliant....could watch video all day

[@GutpileCharlie]

I've done that in a C150. I made contact with the sheet metal under the tail before the tires! Damn! I hate when that happens.

[@zeromaster21_official]

*better be the worlds first youtube full wide-screen indeed*

[@OzParkPilot]

Cant believe he had prop strike and continued his take off... Man, that just is no go in my book

[@equarg]

(1:55) "God damn it!" Yep. Thats gonna hurt the wallet. New prop, complete engine tear down, mag particle test, replace crankshaft...... Or better yet just buy a overhauled engine. Still over 30K parts and lanor in chump change at least.......thats a cheap engine too!

[@77Avadon77]

+equarg Probably not that bad.

[@robainscough]

+77Avadon77 Agree, definitely not that bad.

[@danne6a]

+equarg Pretty sure that a new propeller and possibly removing the crankshaft and checking it for it's tolerance.

[@jamesmonahan1819]

+The Aviation I thought a prop strike required replacement of the whole engine. Except in the Rotax where you just replaced the gear reduction components. But that would be certified aircraft, my observations of experimental aircraft shows that people think they can build and fly any way they want.

[@nickatrop]

These are EAA guys - they don't pay attention to gov't regulations lol

[@aviationaccidentrafanabil8206]

it's amazing you uploaded it for 10 years

[@PhenomonAwesome]

1:53 "GOD DAMMIT"

[@ericklopes4046]

lol I heard that

[@erictaylor5462]

Not what his mechanic said!

[@__z4ne__823]

i was about to say that cracked me up

[@pedrotomcat8232]

I need replay it to be heard 😂

[@play3393]

If you listen carefully, you can hear him yell "GOD DAMNIT!"

[@Darthbelal]

@MegaNerdyDude the prop wash provides enough wind to allow for elevator manipulation. That back end don't weigh much and the wheels act as a fulcrum, unfortunately so in this case.

[@KandiKlover]

I like the Cessna, that and the Rockwell AC500 are my faves.

[@N21X]

This could be the NASCAR of GA. These guys need sponsors!

[@Fentanyl3]

1:23, thats a Bush pilot with skills, and care for his airframe, notice how he goosed the throttle to keep the tail wheel drop nice and soft.

[@andyrbush]

Brave to stand so close to where the prop will go if it touches the ground

[@chestateegold]

basically, they have to have a steeper flare, so the cg is behind them, not in front. they can also use more elevator to counteract the cg movement

[@zahrus23]

What is the second black, and the third red plane model? Please.

[@keithbird8910]

The black plane is a Convair L-13A and the red plane is a Cessna A185E Skywagon.

[@zahrus23]

@@keithbird8910 Thank you very much.

[@AirbusA350Fan]

Think soo too!

[@DrPhrenology]

This looks like it was a blast

[@imrankhankhan4023]

One question here it's front wheels are neutral or Axelrod please answer

[@pwddogman]

Reminds me of when I was in College in NYC and the then new technology Cable TV installers used to play "Buck Buck" outside McSorley's Bar with their company trucks.

[@pokertom42191]

Are there weight classes for different sized airplanes to compete in?

[@Paintballboy54]

whats the third and fourth plane that took off?

[@Crashman2]

THIS IS GREAT- FANTASTIC! 10*

[@granskare]

I saw the prop touch early on and now a crash - bad luck. must have been windy, so many did a go-around:)

[@FsxAv8r91]

Got Rocks (the yellow and black one) was epic. Such a nice takeoff

[@straighttailpilot]

@LaRobertos you consider alaskan bushpilots weekend warriors?

[@motel29]

Still... Great Pilots~

[@eeyore.official]

Yeah, especially the one at 1:45, huh?

[@Pharozos]

Luke Reed Ha this isent something you would expect most average pilots to be comfortable with. You see some one tip and laugh shame on you.

[@TorontoDrivingVideos]

Luke Reed Your comment is dumb, these guys are pushing right to the edge with these planes , they are the best of the best at what they do. You ever see and F1 driver crash and say he is a bad driver?

[@howienyb4331]

That's what I say I never flew they are all amazing

[@klaprat]

nice video!

[@CaptainEarls]

Is Short Take Off & Landing?

[@SuperAviatar]

I used to have a day job rebuilding aircraft engines. UK rules on prop strikes are simple - dismantle, test all components, reassemble if okay. We even had to do magnetic flux testing on engines that had only been factory run - then stored in unknown conditions for 50 years... As a model flyer, I often saw crankshafts break, different risk but still hairy! Our gliding club tug pilot had a minor aberration and pushed the stick forward to get the tail to come round... the metal prop bent 3 inches.

[@LaRobertos]

@straighttailpilot also I dont think would be comparable to aerobatic stunt flying but owell its not my crashed AC

[@allywilkeforsenate]

I can’t believe that on dude took off after the prop strike!

[@Flightsworldwidevideos]

great video!!

[@DualDesertEagle]

Like many many other ppl I'm wondering what the fuckin' sh!t has to be wrong with ur brain to still take off after the prop hit the ground! And I'm pretty damn sure u can hear, if not even feel that in the cockpit!

[@marcwallus6394]

Uh

[@MrJh770770]

he didnt take off tho

[@DualDesertEagle]

Yes, he did! As the recording of him stops he's just about to lift off!

[@ericklopes4046]

Yeah, it's fucking dangerous specially for the ground crew. They are exposed to any crash debris the prop might throw away. Yeah, the pilot can still take off. That's an experimental plane being tested, that procedure wouldn't be allowed in normal circumstances, obviously. The pilot knows how the prop was damaged, and the plane can still fly without overheating the engine. Many planes can still fly with an unbalanced or damaged propeller without great problems. The pilot just doesn't give a shit.

[@3centsmckenna]

the prop rotates the other direction so debris would not go towards the crew.

[@airplanedude26]

What plane is that at 12 seconds

[@gr8o2h2o]

Interesting, I think in this type of competition tricycle gear with a rear skid plate might be a better setup. That way you can land slow, TD, and jam on the brakes without worrying about a prop strike and flipping the bird over. Put in the real world of bush flying tail draggers I think is still a better setup giving safer options dealing with debris and rocks.

[@munnzo744]

What is the second plane in the video?

[@mikecolton9176]

Did he win?

[@ianberry5879]

That yellow plane was impressive. Wheels up before the first white line. Can anyone tell me the official spacing of those white lines used for scoring?

[@christianjackson]

God damnit!

[@DavidCurryFilms]

What on earth is that plane at 0:26? Those flaps are massive!

[@WarblesOnALot]

@Warrantti The big soft wheels began for their ability to roll over head-size rocks , when operating in Alaska; landing on sandbars & riverbeds. Here , despite their weight & drag , they allow a bigger Rotation-Angle on Take-off , due to the raised Axle-height from extra diameter. Swings & Roundabouts, really. My guess is the fashìon's wrong.Low-drag Lightness levitates best (on smooth ground).

[@DanielMalyuta]

What plane is it at 0:44?

[@Betoniporsas75]

What´s the second plane?

[@mjanovec]

It sure did hit the ground. They even replayed it in slow motion, in case you missed it.

[@LaRobertos]

@BayHike ok good point I guess but still not good for aviation but still good point on your end guess thats why there is more tham one view point. Onr thing most stunt pilots are trained for years before try stunts not some weekend worriers

[@rpapa1]

0:58 "Got Rocks" Haha Love it!

[@robstanton9215]

That’s Greg Miller. He built that Super Cub. You never hear him tooting his own horn and yet he’s one of the best.

[@Cambone13]

1:03 pretty impressive take off from mauleguy

[@moaski]

Why wouldn't you swap out those big, heavy bush tires for an event on tarmac like this?

[@FPVandotherprojects]

I'm new to all this but with the prop strike guy - wouldn't he hear and feel that? And if so why would he continue to take off?

[@VetteZrWON]

Is the plane at 1:00 a super cub?

[@jeetenderkakkar7570]

Hellosir How to fly in usa

[@flanksteak2]

What's 00:33 got going there? That winds up nice!

[@eatsamazingwithsusan]

amazing share .. thanks see you around too

[@jesseharper4792]

wonder how much it costs to fix that?

@sk8drumdie0116 Did she pay for the insurance?

[@abhishekbiradar7077]

1:33 I may be a tricycle guy, but I would've aborted takeoff considering props came so close to ground

[@jacksonamaral329]

cool. i did not know this championship.

[@LordSandwichII]

1:31 I hope his prop was due for overhaul, because it certainly is now!

[@bwbam777]

In these competitions do these prop strikes get reported to NTSB. or is it kind of expected?

[@Warrantti]

Why these planes have so massive front wheels?

[@dualinput601]

0:38 what airplane is that?

[@mkrp4]

“When you level off it’s got to be six inches. Not one foot, or three feet. Six inches! If it’s too high and you come down hard, you’ll wreck the plane. If it’s too low you hit a bump and go over. It’s the last inch that counts!" James Aldridge The last inch

[@MachTucker737]

Did the prop actually hit? It sure looks like it. 1:31

[@ssouthur]

Is the prize for the comp really worth risking a $1000 prop (yes, it could be less) and a couple of $k worth of motor - let alone the airframe? They're interesting to watch but it looks like a great way to wreck a perfectly good aircraft.

[@BadAssEngineering]

Love the GOD DAMMIT at 1:53

[@antimattercrusader]

Nice. You flew Microsoft flight simulator. Impressive.

[@TheModelGuy]

@Pkarchpray16 True, but rebuilding the engine is a lot cheaper then writing off the aircraft. At that low speed he should be okay. Time for his "D" check though.

[@bigbadbenable]

@SenorSpode thanks, i didn't know that!

[@miniatureenginesandmore9906]

0:33 that’s a nice 180 or 185 can’t tell of the top of my head

[@jwboll]

New parking procedures? could stack 12 blue/whites in a 40x40 hangar like that.

[@1Gaumer]

wow you can barley hear that but it is there.

[@simreviews]

WOOOW 1:03 THAT is just amazing takeoff!

[@nuclearnyanboi]

Tailstrike @0:09 ?

[@ericzhangorgan]

At least the propstrike guy at 1:32 landed safely, at 1:44 his plane appears to be taxiing in the background

[@MachTucker737]

@FSX7340 yea, i hear it now. The first time was on my phone with headphones. I like the sound real low just encase i run into a screamer :/ check out the first plane. I do believe he struck the tail!

[@16989473]

the first crash GOD DAMIT in the background

[@CV_CA]

1:31 ugh the prop touched the ground, that can't be good
