Congratulations ...as it is your first flight Thanks for not adding any music. Please do another sail, and shoot the journey with a fixed cam, so that we can see your flight along with your feelings. Next time better luck. 👍👏👏
First ultralight flight? You flew the pattern. Smooth take off and landing. I’m jealous! Would love to find a nice simple airworthy ultralight. In the meantime I’ll just enjoy videos like this. Thanks
As a former pilot I can tell you that the number one thing I checked was fuel and then engine oil. One never knows what happens when your up there and your flight gets extended for some unforeseen reason. I also do an extensive walk around and safety inspection of the air frame etc.
I used to fly a Wizard and then a Lazair decades ago. Sure do miss it. First thought I had was use more rudder and less stick haha. I wish you many years of safe fun.
I bought A COBRA watch youtube learned to fly no training at all first flight was well will I do it correctly, sure did flew for about 50 miles had a hard time to find the strip I left at finnaly I found it landed ok any landing you walk away from is great as I was told by a pilot I am 77 and still fly the same cobra I love it , so good luck to you all be safe
How did you miss that runway light when you landed? I own two Quicksilvers. Neither have ailerons. One is an early weight shift and the other is an MX with spoilerons on top of the wings controlled by the foot pedals. They are not really need to fly as it turns well with just the rudder by stick. The spoilerons do give a little roll response but they are best used together to increase decent for short landings.
congrats.....on the the first flight (solo)... its been almost 2 months...any more vids..and how are you progressing...the rudder on a quicksilver is you best friend....
Now you're talking ! It made me rather nervous to estch you using your hand instead of your feet, my God !!!!! I have a QS on my own and let me tell you that it is the sweetest thing to fly, justo use ruder, ruder ruder ruder and mora ruder ! Congrats anyway !
NICE! Why so much throttle on final? Was it because it was your first solo? Do you now throttle back and nose over for final and landing, or same way? Just curious, everybody has their preference. Do you practice 'deadstick', or throttle at idle landings now? Thank you, great flight and very nice MX
Did it look simple? I can tell you he was only a move or two away from having a real bad day. Don't underestimate the part played by nerves and sensory overload.
@@commentatron …Well said , absolutely spot on , I had a hang glider years ago and was going to try it until a friend of mine told me what happen to him trying to fly one with no training , he crashed it and got broken legs out of it , I never did fly it , I ended up selling it after that .
It is a dangerous idea for anyone to do this without at least some minimum flight instruction prior to soloing. Even if you have a GA pilot license, these aircraft are different and unique. It's not worth risking your life to do this otherwise.
Phantom Flyer I just put a rotax 582 along with a brand new power fin adjustable 3 blade. New sails a year ago. A few new guide wires. New seat covers. I think I would have to have $10,000 for it.
Not bad at all for first attempt. Learn to use those rudder pedals! . . . that's the most difficult thing for low time pilots to learn . . . practice wiggling your tail!
Thanks for sharing but I think you need a little more training for your own safety……and life. The plane was flying you on takeoff and landing. You can’t let the aircraft drag you off the runway!

I almost shit my pants on that takeoff and landing! At least it was an exciting video! Congratulations!
Need more dancing on them rudder pedals :) Nice vid - thanks for sharing!
You should fly a lot of touch & Go’s. Need to clean up your pattern flying a bit. congrats...

This so realistic! And no music!👍
Good flying with you sir!!
Get those feet working buddy!

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
Pretty Cool! Except for the thought of 110 Octane Gasoline above my head NOO THANKS! I would be re locating that shit haha
thankyou.. I love it!
Right Rudder on takeoff 🙂
P-factor: "I agree."
I'm jealous!
That was awesome!

😂😂😂
lol
It should be “Aviation and flight”
Get those feet working bud!
Rudder control under applied power. Especially on roll out and take off.
Fantastic job!
Beautiful flight.
That was great!

Well done, how many hours of dual training before your solo?
Nice! Reminds me of my MXL
Woah! Almost got a runway light. Good job though bro.
I got two on different occasions when starting out; one taxing and the other after a crow hop. Good thing they are break-away.

Is it really that simple? I have watched a fair few videos and think I could do it too!! Have you flown other things or just that?

Bud it's not a Cessna lol learn to use your rudders 👍 Good work you'll get it
That’s it I’m buying one
u make me fly thx so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fast Forward Little Over Half Decade ... I Guessing This Poor Fella Stuck With Hunting And Fishing

I think your pink panties are showing.
No doubt Chadwick finds it edifying that you value his life so highly. You must be quite the humanist.
Nice!
Still flying it now?
Bravo! Now more training.
How do you communicate with atc on that thing lol. Seeing you fly that around the airport brings so many questions..
É isso ai Kim, manda brasa, quanto antes essas "pragas" forem eliminadas do cenário , melhor...parabens
I have been saving to get one. Going to take awhile
Where's the throttle?
Two seater = light sport aircraft. Not an ultralight. License required.
Well it’s a good thing I have my private for the past 15 years. Lol….. you people and your comments I swear.
@@SirChadwick19 BAMM. (mic drop). 👍 🤣
I thought ultra lights had to be one passenger or whatever if flown by someone with no license
That is true. This was a two seater Quicksilver that I owned a few years ago. I have had my private pilots license for the past 20 years.
but Damn ur lucky to fly this
Who's elses parents have sent them this?
What training did you have prior to this flight, thanks for sharing
Phantom Flyer no training in an ultralight. I have had my private for 11 years. I think that was the first flight in anything in 5 years.
Sweet, I've flown the Cessna 172, II hear it;s very different from the Quicksilver
Phantom Flyer all of my time has been in a 172. I think I'm gonna sell my Quicksilver.
How much if you sell it
Phantom Flyer I just put a rotax 582 along with a brand new power fin adjustable 3 blade. New sails a year ago. A few new guide wires. New seat covers. I think I would have to have $10,000 for it.

And apparently it's also a good thing to keep the speed up in these lightly wing loaded, high drag birds.
I’m sure you’ve figured it out by now, but, you need to work on foot control and staying on that center line all the way down the runway…
Needs a little practice. Rudder dude, rudder!
LOL
Bold to post yourself doing something illegal, nice flying though
I'm not seeing anything illegal in this video. *Stupid,* yes, but not illegal.
HiddenWindshield it’s a two seater
@@adamfpv8294 Ah. Didn't think of that.
HiddenWindshield I have my private.
HiddenWindshield oh, I didn’t see any other flying videos on your channel so I just assumed, what do you enjoy more?

It shows but your no first time pilot!
