But with a greatly reduced glide ratio compared to say a Cessna 172, so you definitely want to be thinking sharp! Even though simulated, this was a very nice job 😎
Piece o’cake! Try having one under 1000’ agl. You basically draw a semi-circle from each foot-peg in front of you back to your beam. That semi-circle is your landing zone.
Engine out simulation while training with CFI was she said, one of my best landings. Nice job and of course it should be a constant thought, be on the lookout for a spot to set down, should I experience an engine out.
I fly paraglider’s, no engine, can usually find thermals to get up but never fly anywhere where there isn’t a bail out, of course a paraglider can land in a back yard so LZ’s are much easier to find when your aircraft flies at 23 mph
@@AstroRocketShorts first off I would do a whole lot of research on reliability, stability. If it's a kit or pre-built and then of course cost. It's not something I would cheap out on. And finally any other things you can think about like storage and local spots to take off and land if you dont have the acreage. Getting it will be the easy part.
Just goes to show -- an airplane does not need and engine to fly. The engine is only necessary to establish and extend flight time. As anyone can clearly see -- the aircraft (w/o power) is a glider and may safely be brought to the ground w/o difficulty.
My original Quicksilver had the KT100 Yamaha which would seize up about every tenth flight. It just worked it way too hard. Once I went to the Rotax 377 the motor has been trouble free. Dead stick in a Quickie is a non-event as long as you have something flat to land on very nearby.
If you lose engine in a heli you don’t drop like a rock. You will continue to glide down until the friction slows the blades down, which will take a while. As Long as you aren’t super super high up, you should be fine.
I've been learning on an Ikarus C42 and page 1 of the pilot handbook says something along the lines that the engines used aren't aviation engines and do not have the same safety standards and can basically die at any time 🤣 fills you with confidence
@@UltralightAirplaneDriver been wanting to get my pilot licence pretty much my entire life, i wwasnt asking if the engine quit i was saying that quite and quit mean 2 different things. U mispelled the word quit in your title
When YOU kill the motor, you have just created a real emergency. It’s a very stupid thing to do. Fortunately, this amateur did not kill himself, or anyone else, Otherwise,his daughter could watch his last flight and grow up wondering, “Why Daddy?” How about showing us how to loop it, roll it and spin it! Keep the vids coming, I’m sure we’ll get to see one of your last stunts soon, Orville.
@@UltralightAirplaneDriver One more comment, if I may. Get a BRS. How old is that Dacron wingsail? Not sure if that is a Bombardier Rotax, but don’t worry about practicing dead stick landings, they’ll come soon enough.😂 I know my criticism may sound harsh, but I was a dealer in the early 80’s. Seen too many knucklehead friends of mine do their last stunt. Fly safe! Have fun.
@@UltralightAirplaneDriver My own personal rule is to never fly lower than the BRS can operate. The glide ratio of my machine is about 8:1. What ever you see over your toes is where your gonna land when it quits on you. What year is your machine?
That was handy, the engine quitting perfectly so he can land next to his daughter.
😄
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😁😁
The old Trevor Jacobs the engine quit routine.
At least he didn't bail out with a handily prepared parachute.
Not even close. I guess that was supposed to be funny?
LOL! Good thing this guy didn't jump out though!
Bro he was so chill about that landing 😂
Because he cut the engine lol
You're missing the point, though.
The point: holy shit a fixed wing aircraft CAN GLIDE?? OMFG AMAZING!
@@jonslg240 LOL Yeah my 2 Seat light sport airplane has a 16:1 glide ratio.... everyone thinks ya lose an engine and fall out of the sky
Nice example of a dead stick landing!
Ahhhh. The Quicksilver. Always loved those ultralights.
Yes indeed!!❤😎
No problem. It is technically a powered hang glider, so unpowered flight down offers slow, full control. Nice off-field landing.
But with a greatly reduced glide ratio compared to say a Cessna 172, so you definitely want to be thinking sharp! Even though simulated, this was a very nice job 😎
GREAT LANDING!
Haha "How ya doing?"... what a legend ..
Every Pilot can’t land with the engine not running successfully. Thank God that this guy did so! Great job my friend!
Piece of cake with the Quicksilver! :)

What do you mean by "back to your beam"?

That's how you do it. Nice job😅
I've wanted one of these for so long!!!
They are fun
@@UltralightAirplaneDriverwhere can you get one?
@@AstroRocketShortseverywhere.
@@SlickArmor like is there a certain dealer or do I just find their official website and purchase it from there?

Twice here. Once in a WW2 trainer, the other in a helicopter. Fun stuff.😮
Nice skill

I've been wanting to try one of those since the early 90s looks like a lot of fun
There a ton of fun for sure....
An engine cut off or the plane itself?
Nice deadstick landing!
Dude Epic engine out Handling.
Be safe
Nice deals deadstick landing.
Things like this always happens in ww2
Good practice
Awesome machinery.
Great landing!
For a few years in 1982 to 84 these planes were all the rage. They disappeared quickly after a few too many publicized crashes.
Welcome to my world!
Hang Gliding!!!
How far can it travel without refueling?
well done that turn on final looked interesting.... why make that turn so close to the ground?

Agree 👍
Nice job
What's the glad ratio of a Quicksilver at max weight? Someone said 17:1 but that seems very optimistic.
Like a Boss.God Bless you Bro get a new Engine
What engine would you get
@@UltralightAirplaneDriver lol the ine you have since that was an engine out simulation
This is why I’d far prefer to fly a plane over a helicopter
why? if you lose engine power in a helicopter you just glide to the ground same as a plane...
If you lose engine in a heli you don’t drop like a rock. You will continue to glide down until the friction slows the blades down, which will take a while. As Long as you aren’t super super high up, you should be fine.
@Blackout_CDXX That’s just.. not how helicopters work, unless they are in a low power hover. In normal flight, they can glide safely to the ground.
It's called auto rotation landing, unless you lose a propeller blade or the tail prop. Then you're screwed.
@@bredcubed1161the higher the better, autorotation is amazing
Other than the clickbait title that was great.
How are you doing banking does wings has aileron
With a 17 to 1 glide ratio and 5 gallons of gas just how far do you think a person could go in an ultra light? Oh and that electric starter.
Piece of cake use to Dead stick my ultralight all the time
No ailerons if I'm not mistaken, some ultralights of that era had spoilerons, this one doesn't look like it has either. The simple days.
It absolutely had ailerons
@@krotchlickmeugh627 I see them now, my bad.
Fuel starvation?
I miss your flying content.
Are you Trevor Jacob? I love your work.
‘Ultra Fright’.
Where ya been Paw?
Almost a "non-event" in a Quicksilver.
No shock absorbers?
Lol imagine that tiny engine quitting while flying an aircraft, totally impossible 😂
Bro a reliable one would probably be too heavy to fly
Little kids had no idea she almost lost her dad...
That was so safe and mellow!
I don't think so. Just glides down
You’re going to break your neck flying this rig.
Smooth 😎
Thanks
Been there, done that! After 40+ years of flying the only time I had a forced landing was in one of these contraptions.
I've been learning on an Ikarus C42 and page 1 of the pilot handbook says something along the lines that the engines used aren't aviation engines and do not have the same safety standards and can basically die at any time 🤣 fills you with confidence
Cut the grass while you're at it!
That kinda sucks and interesting in the same time
The engine quite what?
On purpose 🤫
I noticed the misspelling in the headline as well… It quite stopped working I guess…
@@mikeplacentra9342 thanks for noticing 👍. Ex-Amish here still learning how to write 😄
Engine quit..?
It did.
@@UltralightAirplaneDriver been wanting to get my pilot licence pretty much my entire life, i wwasnt asking if the engine quit i was saying that quite and quit mean 2 different things. U mispelled the word quit in your title
Nice landing. I'm curious what the cause was tho.
Fuel starvation
just having a rotax engine will cause that. 😂
When he flipped the switch to stop.
@@UltralightAirplaneDriver😆 it sounded electrical like the switch was turned off. fuel usually sputters out.
The same thing with larger piper cesna aircraft it’s practicing an engine out landing oh yes including helicopters autorotation
Just so happens when go pros and cameras are videoing hmmm 🤔
Should be fitted with air bags.
Butter....s
I mean..isn't that where you land anyway? I feel like I've been bamboozled
Waw
Butter
Plane built like a parachute
🤷♂️
Engine out after hitting the kill switch.
ma aism hadha altaayira
Daddy 😂
Engine turned off not Engine quit.
Child did not understand that father was in danger
How much does it cost?
Don't you mean quiet?
😁 yep
Bro the plane is electric🤦♂️
