Natural selection, thoughts and prayers to the family members left behind by these idiots

LMAOOOOOOOO WHAT A BUSTER

Would've been just fine if it weren't for those darn trees.

if God wanted man to fly he would have given us feathers

In his CYA statement the 'pilot' not flying told the other to add power...

hold on Ronnie!!!

The superstol is not the easiest aircraft on the ground, once you get to know it she’s fine. When in finished mine, I did over 1000 landings in it before going out in the mountains. Well worth it

I would never fly in one of these stupid things, there is no protection at all, at least in a C152 or C172 you have a firewall and the whole engine to absorb any impact. The first thing that is going to come into contact if you crash in these things, is YOU....at 40 - 50mph? Good luck with that

Darwin alive and well in the Pacific Northwest!

Took that turn way too sharp and slow, don't think it's legal to be flying over homes either, very low altitude. Too many negative factors to have a good outcome for sure. That was a bad day for sure. RIP. They slammed hard into the ground..damn.

Saddened to see the loss. Hope the family can find some peace someday.

Ah the old DR killer!

Shouldn't of turned

Same type of thing happened a Fairchild B 52...sad to watch but anyone piloting banking hard at low level is a terrible idea!!

Lady...you aren't kidding.😳🌞he saw you and wanted a second look...

I’m a firm believer in flying model airplanes. Many lessons can be learned from the hobby that can be used in full scale operations. When flying models you “always” walk away from your crashes. Not so in full scale!

She was going to be an actress, and I was going to learn to fly- and see she’s acting happy ……..And I’m flying so high…………..when I’m stoned..

Prophetic!

Aerobatics in the dark. A new level of stupid.

Was it to heavy or not enough power or both ?

Why no chutes? Surely the crew had time to eject.

Never ever get on anything you can't survive the fall from that flies unless there is a currently licensed fully trained pilot. Who isn't stoned. Ultralites do not require a PPL.

Fighter pilot style approach without fighter airplane thrust, fighter pilot training. I see this frequently as a private pilot, others doing these steep bank angle turns to final at low approach altitudes. I’ll always shake me head and wonder what they are thinking. As for myself, I keep the bank angles tame and airspeed plentiful for a wide margin of safety.

Looks like the classic wing stall that bites many pilots.

College grad want to bet? I didn’t think so

Why do normies always move the camera away at the moment of impact?

dont fly illegally on drugs, kids.

high AF when the cable broke, ban small planes

No idea how it missed the roof of that house in the foreground.

Just saw the aftermath and damn that house suffered some significant fire damage. The siding on the neighboring even appears to have melted from the heat. Had it happened during the summer maybe a garden hose could've been used.

The family of the deceased sued the local county , saying it is there fault supposedly :/

You can stall at any speed but only one critical angle of attack.

The medical report in the docket indicates the pilot was high at the time of the crash, and also was taking a psychoactive drug for depression.

Basic aerodynamics...critical angle of attack...relative wind..any attitude or airspeed.

Looks like a stall.

Never use Nylock nuts on anything critical they are garbage. I use them on a fence or gate sometimes I would not even use them on a vehicle. If you look at auto manufactures they never use them on anything. They use flange bolts or nuts that are self locking.

It looks like they got into an accelerated stall with the sharp bank and spun into the ground.

An accelerated stall. Flying 101. This is why you need to be certificated and proficient in the vehicle you're flying.

That was a big thud.

Never reduce power in a turn with a high AOA. Airspeed indicator could have saved this person's life. Is it hard to feel imminent stall with hang-glider-style wings? Cuz in small recips with hershey bar wings you can feel it and recognize it without use of the ASI.

The "pilot" probably had no training at all in how to fly that monstrosity, assembled it improperly, AND had drugs in his system at the time of the crash. He probably never read the limitations of his "aircraft," either. We can hear that there was nothing wrong with the engine, and even if it did quit, a competent pilot could deadstick it in to land safely.

Stall

Cannot fathom how horrific that was for them trying to comprehend what they just saw

Accelerated stall, classic mistake by fixed-wing pilots in a base-to-final turns. The stall speed increases rapidly at high bank angles and high wing loading.

Play stupid games....

“Non certified pilot” = Civil lawsuit against pilot’s estate.

No rudder makes it impossible to pull out of the soft stall created by the steep turn. Adding corrective wing inputs just made the stall worse at the end.

Climbing while turning forces the craft into a stall scenario increasing the angle of attack.

Appears to be poor recovery technique, perhaps inexperienced pilot who didn't know proper weight shift wing-high attitude recovery. A vigorous 'high hand to hip' control move could have saved these two and all the heartache of their loved ones. Very tragic and sad results. Condolences to the family.

I'm amazed at the risk people take with their lives.
