ANY LANDING YOU WALK AWAY FROM IS A GOOD.ONE..

Love the videos. I am retired and a pilot. Live on Mt. Tom. Used to do touch and gos at Daniels. Great to see the scenery around here from the air.

I like they way you guys are communicating all your turns and hazards. Looks like a great day of flying, in spite of the unexpected landing. Well handled.

Neat video. I'm currently building a Roger Mann designed ultralight. Glad to see the perfect landing and recovery. Fun stuff. Two thumbs up !

Though I stopped flight training 2 hrs short of getting my private pilot's licence, (ran out of money), I do play a lot of flight sims on my pc. This reminds me of how I like to fly my missions in Rise of Flight... WWI biplanes and triplanes. I fly into my target location but then leave protocol and fly nape of the earth between trees, under bridges etc. to avoid AAA Flack, gaining altitude only just before strafing and/bombing runs. So believe me when I tell you that I know the difficulty of this type of flying is and I was truly impressed. Especially with the emergency landing in that wet field... I half expected the plane to flip when he hit the ditch. Had the ground been dry and hard I am sure he would have! Awesome flying skills... Thumbs up! I was also a member of our local Civil Air Patrol for 20 years and am so glad their services were not needed here! For those that do not know, Civil Air Patrol, or CAP, is an auxiliary (volunteer) of the USAF who's primary mission is search and rescue; especially for downed aircarft.

Now THAT was a walk of shame! ;-) Glad to see it ended safely, and he'll be back in the air in no time!

+ABMNS PRODUCTION --- Alot of my decision to avoid FPV is simply because the public and many politicians are screaming for such incredibly tight control of even the lightest and simplest of R/C aircraft. I mean an 8oz toy now needs registration. Completely absurd. I was on the verge of picking up a $3k DJI a year ago, but the main thing that stopped me was the chess moves the FAA was making. I thought we had a chance when Trappy first beat them in court, but that victory was short-lived, and the FAA is not going to walk away with a defeat, shrugging their shoulders. The backlash was swift and merciless, and now kids have to register Christmas toys. It's absurd.

at least you guys are alright and alive. thats most important. other than the failure. I really enjoyed the video, thank you :D

Lucky she didn't flip in that muck. Great piloting skills.

What an adventure. Thankful you had a safe ending. Keep enjoying that cow tipping!

Wow the is some really nice scenery and flying. I love how your plan is painted with the shark theme....Just needs two more gil slits.

That looks so fun to fly there. Glad he was okay! You just earned a new sub.

Altitude is my friend for the vast majority of my flying, probably somewhere around 98 percent. The only reason I even post these types of videos is because they are highly unusual and account for the tiny 2% of the time the air is dead calm and I am down on the deck. Want me to upload my latest flight where I maintained 1500-2000msl all the way from Independence to Daniels? I didn't think so. My viewers also would not appreciate such monotony.

Glad everyone is ok! Besides the emergency, this looks like such fun.

@glassdogangle what type of plane is that and how easy is it to fly in trying to get into flying and wanna start start on something small like that

Cool Video but buzzing around mowing the Grass leaves very little time to react to a emergency situation, I'm glad it happened over a wet but open field!

Thinking about buying a Hy Tek Hurricane. Never flown (stick and rudder) ultralight. I have 4 years hang gliding. Any thoughts on your aircraft's good and bad habits? Thanks. Great vids. Tom

Terrific landing! You stayed focused.

What ultralight model is this ?

How reliable is the Hirth engine? I'm thinking about buying one..

That is so cool how you towed it back. Well done and that was lucky for everyone

great flight and recovery. enjoyed your flight.

Glad he landed safe. By the way, hose those shoes off to get the heavy soil off, then toss them into the washer with some rags (not with good clothes) and run them on the heavy cycle. They will come out looking brand new.

It took me about 30 minutes of squeezing and wringing by hand before the water started coming out mostly clear. Unbelievable how filthy they were inside from mud pouring in.

Am I crazy? (wait don't answer that) Would the location of this video be just north of Eugene/Springfield and east of I-5 by a few hundred feet?

Good day..ilove this Video..nice landing..nice Air craft..nice manuvering..best regard

why..... were yall flying that low to begin with? what if that would have happened just before you had to climb to clear the power lines?

This has to be in the Willamette valley?

What ultralight aircraft is it

Cruise speed during this flight?

Very nice! Great flying...I'd like to do that before I croak.

My ultralight trike 2 stroke has two belts. A prop belt and a smaller fan belt. I'm surprised his engine overheated so quickly.

What is the ultralite?

What engine does it use?

Modern air craft engines are so well designed and meticulously maintained that there is a tendency toward complacency - betting their life on their engines is routine -ultra lights tend not to have that luxury? by way of their cheap, light weight, high rpm power plants; That said they are making substantial improvements and the lure of "she'll be right" is always never far from the control stick. But one first hand observed incident helps to tighten any creeping mental slack a few hundred hours of trouble free flight may induce. I have a few hours in Drifters - no where near enough to develop complacency - but it does happen. Air craft accidents (fatal) are usually caused by a preposterously unlikely -lotto odds -coincidences of elements. Power lines are essentially evil and have found a way to incorporate them selves into more than a few such coinciding anomalies. Flying with a buddy is a terrific way to compound the safety margin - and makes for excellent video too! Keep up the great uploads - loved the one with the ridge lift soaring! Nothing like some thing ( free fuel ) for nothing! :)

I know it has been ages for me but I recall as an air traffic controller that there was a minimum requirement of 500 feet AGL over unpopulated areas. Not sure how this was happening

hey mate, when you have fixed the plane might be an idea to check the fan belt on your truck too

I was wondering about these planes. How are they called? And further, I assume you need a pilot license for it? And how about communications, do you have communications with ATC? They look really cool and not too expensive I guess

No idea what engine you have but I’ve done an emergency landing in my powered parachute for the same reason. Hirth 65hp engine with belt driven fan had the idler seize & burn the belt in less than 15 seconds. Lucky for me I was within gliding distance of my runway. The cylinder head overheated instantly and lost power. After landing safely I checked it out and the cylinder head bolts had loosened from the heat. Had 120 psi compression before the flight and 65 after on one side and 57 on the other.

Hey great vid. Best thing about it? Friends enjoying a fun days flying. Man I wish I had friends interested in flying. What was the yellow plane? Don't realise how small it is till they had to recover it

Pretty cool, glad ya'll made it safe, wonder where this Happened 🤔🤗☝🏼

What kind of "cub" is that. What engine did it have? It appears to be a home built possibly with a liquid cooled engine. The reason I ask is that a J3 engine has a magneto and is air cooled. I'm kind of curious, that's all.

I have been thinking about a powered glider (is that an oxymoron or what?) and I love this one, looks very cool. I think it's the first one with the engine in the nose. For what's it's worth, he hit the rows at the worst possible angle. You have to land in the direction of the rows not cross angled. A number of pilots have lost their lives learning the lesson, coming in from a much higher altitude and at a much greater speed. I have no idea if he had any way to alter his landing direction, I'm just making a comment in general, I've seen a 172 torn to pieces after landing on a cotton field close to the airport I've flown out of, Falcon Field Mesa, AZ

Flying low is fun but you risk crashing without a lot of choices if you loose an engine. They are in mostly open terrain so the risk seems relatively minimal, the worst that would usually happen is a loss of the aircraft.
