I did not know that when you make a video and say "Safe for Kids" that TH-cam turns off the comment ability. I have switched it back to "Not made for kids" so you should be able to comment now on this video. Sorry for the confusion, this computer stuff gets confusing.
@Nicky_Nacky_Nooo 16 hours ago I assume you turned the comments off in the last video as you knew you would get a shit load of people commenting about flying low around an airfield, and flying head on into a plane that had just landed. Larry Kaiser · @fly1956 Hi. I never turn comments off on any of my videos as long as they are respectful and I assumed that some people with a sharp eye would have noticed the other aircraft taxiing in to the airport, still on the runway. I make no excuses but I can do some explaining. First off the airport is a very small, uncontrolled airport. Which means that "see and avoid" is the Standard Operating Procedure. I saw him and avoided in the most expedient method I know. Second, it was like 0630 in the morning on a Tuesday and I assumed I was the only one in the pattern (bad assumption). Third, after takeoff my hands were starting to freeze up being out in the 28 degree air at 35 knots airspeed. Rather than go up to pattern altitude and fly the entire pattern I decided to do a U turn, land and switch to my warmer gloves. (Probably not my smartest move ever.) Upon final approach I spotted the other aircraft and saw he was slow taxiing to park on the transient parking. For maximum safety I cleared his flight path immediately, in case he decided on a touch and go at the last minute. My radio was not working so I had no way to convey my intentions so I did the logical thing and dove out of his way, just in case. As for flying low near an airport, if you watched the entire video you saw that I never once entered the traffic pattern (not even close) and all low flight maneuvers were over an empty farmers field, well outside the traffic pattern which is on the opposite side of the runway. The only time I was low over the airport was for about 3 seconds while I was safely avoiding another aircraft. This airport hosts many, many Part 103 ultralights (Powered paragliders and trikes) and they even have the Moonshiners PPG Fly In each year when Part 103 PPGs come from all over the world to fly low and slow at this airport. The local pilots are quite accustomed to flying with paragliders doing 30 knots at 10 feet off the ground (outside the pattern). I have a family waiting for me at home and a 5 year old just starting Kindergarten this fall. I can assure you that, yes I am human and have made a few bad decisions, but my NUMBER 1 goal while flying is the safety of not only me, but all other pilots in the air with me. Honestly, I considered not posting the video, knowing that someone with a sharp eye would see what you saw. Then I thought it might be worth something as a "what if scenario" video. I thank you for watching my videos and hope this cleared up any worries you might have had. Have a nice day.
Maravilha só treinando as habilidades !!!😀👏🏻😎🇧🇷
this is wonderful, i wish i could do this.

That would have been my scariest flight.

Как вы закрепили видеокамеру? Почему она "гуляет" относительно аппарата?
How did you secure the video camera? Why is she "walking" around the device?
