MY WORST LANDING EVER
Ғылым және технология
In the video you will hear me mention carb ice, but that was not the case, once I got it back to the hanger, I discovered the pulse line to the fuel pump had come loose. A .29 cent hose clamp and 2 dollar hose is the culprit. Further inspection of the fuel system showed no other evidence of failure. I will dismantle and rebuild TA-1, the engine was not running on impact and shows indication of damage, I have reviewed my flight log and confirmed my altitude was 1800 ft. AGL when the fuel line disconnected and glided approximately 2.5 miles to the field just off to the end of the runway at wolfe airpark. By continually pumping the primer, I was able to keep the engine running however I dont believe it helped extend my glide. There were other possible areas to take advantage of, but I had this field picked as it was well within reach and on the final approach of runway 20 at 3T2. with that said, best case scenario was to make the runway, but I should have made the decision to take the field much sooner. Lesson learned, take the first adequate and available spot and keep the airspeed up, that would have allowed me valuable time to set up a better landing, possibly saving the plane from damage. With that in mind, every engine out is going to be different and our reactions may not be as precise as we think when the time comes. Its nice to save the plane and honestly, I didn't think the landing was going to be as violent as it was, but the ultimate goal is to save the pilot and I was successful in doing that. One final thought, the airplane did exactly what it was supposed to. The plane does not need to be stronger and the gear did not fail as this was not a normal landing. It absorbed the impact and kept me safe inside, a real testament of the Affordaplanes survivability. Its now time to visit the www.affordaplanestore.com and rebuild TA-1

Glad you walked away from it! I know when I was learning to fly UL's my instructor said to always remember to fly the plane. When he would land at the beginning of me taking lessons he would bring the aircraft in dead stick to show I didn't need an engine to land safely and hammer it in to my head to always fly the plane!
You're alive, it was a good landing! Well done for walking away, everyone with foresight can comment at what they would have done, the reality is they weren't there and given the same thing they would have probably had the same outcome if not worse. You controlled the landing and dropped her down with out injury (other than your pride)

BAD GEAR BAD WHEELS FOR TALL GRASS NO FLAPS I SEE MANY ALREADY CRUSH.
I'm glad you are alright!! Keep your chin up. It could have been worse!
Time and money is better than orthapaedics - glad you're good bro!
That's right fly it, fly it all the way to the seen of the crash. You did great.
Just glad you're OK. 🙂👍
Accidents happen. You are alive and a much more experienced pilot now. Bet you never fly it into the ground like that again, lol. Hope you get it back in the air again soon.
Glad you made it down okay. Sorry to see TA-1 so beat up, but at least it's not totaled. Will be interested in what caused the engine failure. It's always a good learning tool to find the root cause which will help others.
Glad you are Ok! One four letter word summed that whole experience up quite nicely.
Hell Terry that was bad luck. Good to see you are OK, but it's going to be a bit expensive. New prop and all that. I hope you are in the air again soon.
Amazing thing to watch. You kept your head in it. Glad your ok! You built the plane once, so you can build it again.

BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD THE LANDING GEAR TO WEAK NO SPRINGS SHOCKS BUNGEE NO FLAPS THAS WHY SO MANY OF THE CRUSH WITH TAKEOFFS LANDINGS. I WAS WAITING FOR THE GEARS TO COLLAPSE IT HAPPENED BEFORE SO WHATS WRONG TERRY DONT YOU LEARN?
Glad to see you are ok
Sorry you had a prang but delighted that you made it out in one piece!
So glad to see you are ok. The landing gear on the A plane seems to be a weak point. You will be back up in no time.

YES THEY MUST REDESIGN THE LANDING GEAR BIGGER WHEELS AND SPRINGS OR BUNGEE CORD. AND PUT FLAPS IN THIS AIRCRAFT. FLAPS GIVE LIFT THAT'S WHY THE STOL PLANES LAND AND TAKEOFF SO GOOD.
Wow, you could have flared a little there, lol.. Glad your ok, looks like the plane took it pretty good.

NOT THE LANDING GEAR IT BROKE BEFORE MUST PUT BETTER LANDING GEAR IN MAYBE FLAPS ALSO THESE AIRCRAFT DOES NOT HAVE FLAPS THAT IS WHAT THEY MUST BRING IN MANUAL FLAPS GIVE MORE LIFT LIKE THE STOL AIRCRAFT. THEN I WILL BUILD ONE OR BUY ONE.

he had no speed to flare, his stall is 30 mph 2 over the max allowed
Sad to see the tragedy but happy to you are safe.
Really sorry to see this. It's obvious that plane is your baby. Hope to see you back in the air soon.
thank god your are safe❤
How much safer would ultralights be if they allowed them to be heavier? Sad to see the aluminum buckle like that.
Good job. You know what they say about landings! Got a question because I know nothing about these little planes, but am interested in getting one day. Do they typically need throttle added for landing? Just a curiosity question is all.

YES IT IS BETTER
Glad to know you are right!
I'm happy to see you made it to the ground safely! I hope TA-1 is patched up and flying again soon.

NOT GOOD LANDING GEAR BUNGEE OR SPRINGS WILL HELP AND BETTER WHEELS FOR TALL GRASS.
What Engine was installed? I received my plans for the build and looking at engine.
glad u are okay
That was a perfectly good glider.
mate glad you are ok shit happens you sounded very aussie straight after the landing
You will be back in the air in no time. Great result and disregard the Monday morning quarterbacks, they weren’t there. Good to figure the gear weak points. A little more strength there and possibly more energy absorption capability and there would have been no damage.

DONT FORGET TO PUT FLAPS IN THIS AIRCRAFT
I was wondering was it the grass that caused it to land hard or did it stall and drop hard?

WEEK LANDING GEAR IT HAPPENED BEFORE ON SHORTER GRASS THERE NO FLAPS IN THIS AIRCRAFT TO SMALL AILERONS. FLAPS IS THERE FOR A REASON MAKE IT SAFER.
Sorry for your loss, atleast you are safe, you will have it up and flying in no time.
Outstanding flying Terry. I know that's not what ya want to hear - but you did great.
You made in one piece and walked away.. That’s a good landing!!! ADP, you analyzed it, made the decision and landed without injury to yourself, public and property. We can armchair quarterbacks till the stars burn out.
Its not if you will get engine out. It is when... your training saved you
Yow you walked away ...nothing else matters...praise Jesus..
Bravo 📽️😱🔨 Респект 👍😎🔥
I would think carb ice would have given prior warning rough running slower rpm etc. In the video it appeared to just go from running well to dead, if that’s the case I would suspect fuel starvation, trash, air bubble in fuel system etc. Have you done a fuel flow test?
So glad you walked away from the hard landing. It says a lot about the safety of the design.
theres barely any chassis to this thing
