thehalfchild Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 hey did i blink or did that guy stall it in ground effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 I saw their attempt on the 17th but it never appeared he even got off the ground. I believe they said the aircraft did manage to leave terra firma by about an inch but that was it. Did they do another attempt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co-joe Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 Hey Halfchild, I think they balled it up trying too hard to fly on exactly the 100 yr anniversary. A classic case of pilot induced pressure! Should have waited for more ideal conditions. As far as I have heard, they are planning on re building. cj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehalfchild Posted January 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 all i saw was the nose pick up real severe and then ther was some wing drop. i dont think it really would have flown with that much water on the wings anyways. pilot pressure lucky i dont have to deal with that....yet. Ive done my flight test and have yet to take the written. commercial is a year or two down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
