Videos of my flying adventures with my Rans S-12 XL.."It's always an adventure!"
Craig's bee flight...
It flew ok, but the smile factor wasn't there. Not having ailerons is a big deal with something like the bee. A glider is one thing, but the bee just crabs when I need to turn.....Meh

Pietenpol Aircamper Gear failure! A lesson in Geometry, metal fatigue and tubing thickness!
มุมมอง 4443 หลายเดือนก่อน
This landing was a surprisingly smooth landing. Looking back on the video; no drift, relatively slow descent, and straight down the runway. Unfortunately, the piece of thin-wall tubing that the axle was hooked to had flexed one too many times! Next time the builder should use the proper tubing thickness with a good triangulated design. ALL joints in a high stress cluster must align with each ot...

Took a short break for the crappy weather. Just a short hop to 7S5. Stay tuned for more!

For no apparent reason, the cameras died on me again.....Aside from that, it was a pretty fun hop from S12 to the river. Along the way, I said hi to family at the homestead, buzzed some horses in honor of Viv, and flew the river back. Just business as usual.
THIS IS WHY I LOVE FLYING!!!!! Rans S 12 flyby and cloud combat RAW.

These were some seriously fun ....let me rephrase ....deliriously fun... moments from the fall flying. The clouds were perfect, puffy targets for one wing, or, if there was a hole, plow right through it. The challenge is to get only one wing in the cloud. I like how you can feel the moisture pass by if you stick your hand out during the pass, and the bump you feel at the same time. The fly-by w...

Ride Shotgun with the Rebel Pilot for a hop over to Albany Muni. The flight was a bit longer than usual, but well worth the watch! We had a formation flight with some canadian geese. chased down some rowing teams from OSU, FUN, FUN, FUN!
Practicing slips in the Rans S12 XL
มุมมอง 2062 ปีที่แล้ว
Contrary to popular lore....The Rans slips very nicely! Some people say that it "shudders" ....well, it doesn't. It acts like a normal airplane. A moderate slip at the typical approach RPM of 3500 comes down at about 1000 FPM. That's about the same as coming in at idle. Slipping at idle, it comes down very, very fast (I'd say 1500 FPM) requiring quite a bit of power to arrest the high descent r...
Cloud combat and a Buzz Job in the Rans S12 XL
มุมมอง 1192 ปีที่แล้ว
Lots of fun! I have no idea who "Jim" from "Jim's Strip" is, but everyone likes a good flyby.....right? Clouds were fun...very reminiscent of flying the Acroduster in the clouds, just much milder. Nothing like some cool, crisp morning air to yank one back to another time in their life....I digress... You can't "point and shoot" as well with the Rans. "94WE" would do whatever you told it to do. ...

RANS S12 FORCED LANDING!! TRIM TAB FAIL!!!!
Great video. I hope it goes viral and makes you some dinari to fix your bird. Never regret thy fall, O Icarus of the fearless flight.
You could walk away from every landing... Well done!
I can understand this. Get as many landings as you can out of one approach. Saves on fuel.
Good grief…that clanging music is irritating
At that point hadn't seen any landing.
Man why'd you remove all of your Rans videos?
Long story...
@@rebelpilotflyingchannel858 I'm interested if you want to tell it in private.
Harrumph, harrumph, hurrumph!
Did you sell the S12?
I did sell it for someone who wanted a bunch of parts for another s12 project. Honestly, It was getting boring. No challenge.
You're internet famous! Where'd your roll fail go? BlancoLirio did you a solid for views!!!
I didn't see or hear anything from Blancolirio. Someone said "Blancolirio crew". The video is quite embarrassing and... well not a good representation of my "skill" did HE specifically mention me in one of his videos?
Buddy, that Rans looks like a load of fun! Except for the chute lines..... Low energy and low to the ground can be a recipe for disaster if you're not real careful. The maxim,"Speed/Altitude/Ideas" - Pick Two" has been proven too many times. Keep safe, keep enjoying life, keep the brain engaged - and no more weird stuff like aileron roll attempts please!
We The People... can't fly! Blancolirio called you out, did you see that?
I didn't see or hear anything from Blancolirio. Someone said "Blancolirio crew"

Yes sir! Few ideas, but well confused... for any human being...
BORING
The view from your up there was great . How high were you on average and speed ?
I think the highest I got was maybe 2000'. The average speed was about 70 mph, but there was an 8 kt North wind sooo, about 60-62 mph. I think I was pushing 90 when I was "diving in". If you thought that view was great, take a look at my quicksilver acro video. It was taken at 5800' msl. Absolutely STUNNING!
Idiot keeps bouncing like a porpoise instead of just cutting the power forcing the craft to land.
you touched down. nothing fell off or caught on fire. that's a win in my book. anyone brave enough to fly these things I would never talk bad about! I will say the gas tank directly above your head design is scary.
I walked away, yes. BUT...The urge to smack myself when I watch it today is nearly overpowering. ALL I had to do was cut the power, bury the stick in my gut, and wait for it to settle down. It's literally the easiest airplane to land. There's not a whole lot that can go wrong when the airplane touches down at 27 mph. ground roll is a whopping 150 feet. As far as the gas tank goes, one time I forgot to turn the transfer pump off when I was moving fuel from the black seatback tank up to the overhead tank........It wasn't too dramatic, but I did see some fuel dripping down. I smelled like 2 stroke for a while.
Hey, any landing you can walk away from is a good landing 😅
Cut the power and let it land!
I don't know what to say? I'm not familiar with this channel but it appears to be someone who has not had much training and flying experience to say the least. I have just over 280 hrs in a MXL 2 going back to the mid 80's. I haye to say this, but i am curious if this person is still alive and/or still trying to fly?
I could fly better than that when I soloed in a Flightstar!
I wonder what makes it want to bounce like that.
Anyone willing to share his mistakes like this is ok in my book. 👍 Thanks for sharing - looks like a lot of fun!
Hey. Quicksilver is a “slippery” beast. Perhaps the pilot might have better prepared himself by watching how landings are performed, on EeeeeewTube?
I had a VP-2 in Canada with a Volkswagen 1850 cc engine and found the it underpower for the airplane… At idle in the air the rate of descent was 1,000 ft/min…… sold it and is still in service Good luck with the airplane!
What is this….. seems to be doing well on the ground! Did it ever fly…
I couldn't get one signature on the paperwork. I would have flown it, but not without an A.C.
Pilots without brains
I know that runway that’s where I ran out of gas. Wait for someone to get off the runway.
how does a seat belt save you
WHO TAGHT THAT KID TO FLY
That was embarrassing. "Is the Mag on?" "Um, yep...."
Seems like your diving for the runway. Slower shallow descent.
You have to fly those before the ground cooks
Low level turbulence sucks
Wear a helmet. In any tip over or mishap your head is the thing that needs to be protected the most.
Wild.
Opting for an all black stealth model myself.
They call him Flipper, Flipper King of the sea no one you see can bounce higher than he LOL Hells bells cross winds look like a bear with the Quicksilver MX. I guess practice makes perfect or at least better. I was waiting for either the nose or main gear to snap at any time.
That was very troubling to watch! You should have NEVER had a passenger on that thing until you figured out how to land it...
indeed
Landing fails? Any landing you can walk away from and that doesn't bend your aircraft is a good landing.
Awesome!!! I am actually looking into getting myself a quicksilver! You still flying it?
why are people landing these crafts on runways? Grass would be better if u fall over..
It took me 64 landing's before I could land Consistently with Grace ! In my MX !
It’s a miracle more people are not killed or injured. The FAA will soon be coming after the UL just like they started in on drones.
In Canada we need a license to fly ultralights so a ground school and flight training is a requirement. I can see by these clips none of these people had any training.
I wonder what airport that is at 9:08… runway forever out in the middle of nowhere?
If you walked away it was a great landing! 😀
It's surprising just how bad you can botch energy management and everything is just fine. Ultralights are super forgiving.
How much runway do you need?
Not an ultralight. Should be N-numbered.
