There are design limits, and there are as built limits which depend completely on the integrity of the components and the assembly of the components. A failure of a fastener or structural component is EXTREMELY likely do to the cost involved with the manufacture of high reliability components. As an example, 20 years ago the aluminum hub that held the rotor blades of ambulance type helicopter cost over $70,000 and had a defined service life.

@@paulskopic5844 we lived north of L.A. during the late 70's to the 90's.

Maneuvering close to the ground is a bad idea in any flying machine. Modern flex wings do not "lock into high speed stalls." The more common problem used to be tucking and tumbling, which was unrecoverable. This trike is factory built and certified to UK Section S under primary category. The wing is certified to +6g. This trike is also carrying a ballistic recovery system.

I knew a guy years back who was a pilot/instructor. He would say 'there are bold pilots and old pilots, but no old bold pilots' He flew some 60 years, until he misjudged a treetop at a rural airfield. He lived, but didn't fly again.

Hang gliders can take higher G Loads than a a passenger jet. This didn't seem that big of a deal. Doesn't mean I want to fly with him, I prefer to fly my own glider. Snapping a spar is a pretty rare event even among those who regularly do aerobatics. The vast majority of incidents occur during landing. Like any air craft, taking off is not to difficult, flying under good conditions is relatively easy, it is the landing phase where things start to get sketchy, and when things go south near the ground, that is the scary part. Much like riding a motorcycle, the driver should have the passenger's permission if hot rodding is going to be part of the trip. I myself am a terrible passenger and would NOT want to be involved in wing overs as a ride along.

@@jimray2281 Lol, right? May we all not be cocky pilots, but respectful and solid ones.

I'm a pilot now but many years ago -- I had a flight instructor take me on what's called an 'introductory flight' when they see if you want to actually train to be a pilot. The guy was kind of a cowboy, doesn't do the standard briefing, etc then once we're airborne says ,"do you want to go for a plane ride....or do you want to go for a REAL plane ride?" I was 18 and said ok sure let's go for a REAL plane ride. This guy proceeds to do stalls, steep turns, spins, wing overs, etc. He was cackling the whole time...felt very unprofessional and as the years have passed, I have decided that guys like that (and in the video) aren't doing this for YOUR enjoyment, they're doing it for THEIR enjoyment. There's a thrill in scaring people or wowing people with your skills. I don't care for it, but if the passenger in that video liked it, so be it.

Licensed pilot here. Your friend was absolutely right. These little single engine planes are designed to be extremely stable and docile. As a pilot you must legally train these maneuvers, often many many times. It's not particularly dangerous unless you haven't been trained. I get that you may not have enjoyed the feeling. And pilots do acclimate to these types of things (turbulence, low, zero, and negative Gs), so he may have pushed you farther than you were comfortable with, but I can assure you that he did NOT endanger you in any way by doing this. This is not considered dangerous or reckless, and is even something pilots practice regularly.

@@gizmoguyar that's not true. General pilots licence I believe all the way to commercial you don't learn stall or spin recovery in the US. Maybe you learned a long time ago. But its no longer a requirement. Unfortunately so. Kills alot of pilots because of the lack of preparedness

@@krotchlickmeugh627 That's absolutely false. Under part 61 the FAA requires "stall recovery and avoidance demonstrations, as well as knowledge of (but not practice of) spins and spin recovery" for Light Sport Certificates and above. Spin recovery training was removed in 1991 because it was shown that more accidents occurred during training than the training prevented. The idea now is to train to avoid spins by avoiding stalls. Only CFI and above now require spin training. I never received spin training because I got my private pilot cert after 1991, but I and every pilot I've ever met has had stall avoidance and recovery training.

@@gizmoguyar knowledge of not practice. You made whatever point you're trying to make moot.

@@krotchlickmeugh627 "stall recovery and avoidance demonstrations" - Directly from part 61. Spin recovery does not require demonstration.

I was thinking the same thing. When I was taking flying lessons my 2 uncles who were pilots said do a 720 sping (2 complete circles) and learn to pull out. My instructor said it wasn't FAA required. We did it and I learned a lot. Still flying today and yep still doing stalls and spins. Oh that was 50 years ago.

But of course its not something that you should do if you have no interest in those activities, as there would be no point.

I agree with you 100% I was thinking exactly the same. The most scary issue is that these planes have NO rescue parachute like hang gliders do.

@@ecoturismovalle1570 Actually, some microlights DO have parachutes called Ballistic Recovery Systems. These are parachutes fitted to the trike or fuselage of a 3-axis microlight that can be activated in the event of a catastrophic failure. It allows the whole aircraft and contents to float to the ground. It is very unlikely though to save a flexwing suffering a tumble and break-up due to the extreme g-forces involved and the speed at which it happens. The BEST plan is to keep well clear of the boundary of the flight envelope that ends in a tumble.

@@125brat I agree

You call yourself a qualified flexwing pilot? As in you can carry a passenger? If not you don't need a license, and if so you need a private rating. You would call yourself a pilot. And if you were actually qualified you would know nothing he did was dangerous. It was a paid show, for entertainment, like he said the worst thing he did was the "death spiral" give me a break. Engine off, 2000 feet per minute decent rate, in a shollow turn, from 5000 to 3000 ft. Almost weightless, definitely no G's or very little. Could do that all day every day. Scariest thing about it is what he calls it. As part of his SHOW . Oh and yes that is why he shut the engine down.... For safety so he wouldn't over speed. I would guess he never got over 50 or 50 mph.

@@gt4th Do you actually fly a flexwing in the UK? If you did, you would know the rules and licencing that applies to allow you to fly one legally in the UK. This is a 2-seat machine with a max take-off weight of probably 450Kg or thereabouts so in the UK needs an annual Permit to Fly and the pilot is required to hold a Pilots Licence issued by the UK CAA. There is no way a first-time passenger should be subject to such manoeuvres and a spiral dive will pull probably a couple of g. The scariest thing he did is the accelerated or "whip" stall which IF you are qualified to fly a flexwing you will know is a killer! His attitude, manner of flying and "showing off" will end in tears one way or another.

He won’t be able to post it!! Not worth your time!

I'm sure that's some of the things they check every flight.

The problem is to check the spars and fittings that have the greatest compression loads are inside the wing., and not visible to the naked eye. I’ve lost a friend doing similar manoeuvres, had a structural failure and not even a ballistic chute saved him. I’m sure he is a great pilot and does take every precaution but as you get closer to the edge of the envelope with a passenger, risk is a factor that must be taken into account, not just for yourself.

@@kimkeam2094 Exactly. They probably sign a waiver before they go too

@Kim Kemal - totally agree with you. Stress on a hanglider/ultralight wing in this way (especially with two onboard) is a lot higher than this clown appreciates. I have seen foldups before - they are ugly and heart-wrenching. Both pilots in those incidents were very experienced - one was performing acrobatics, the other was hit by a gust of wind. One guy died. The other pilot, a woman, fortunately had sufficient altitude to use a reserve ‘chute but her injuries were bad. She never flew again as a result.

His style is maybe over the top, but all of these maneuvers are low g. Nothing is going to break.

Did he take you through a spin of death or stalls just "for fun" on that ride?

What for?

sorry, that was for highwatercircutrider.

except that the frames (and also the wings) are designed not only for that, but for even much more stress. Legal limit is +5g, -3g. Trust me they can handle much bigger Gs.

elEqualizero hey man, you can go suck as many G’s as you want, I just won’t be riding with you. Just because an airframe’s max load parameters have been tested to a 5G limit doesn’t mean that pushing it to those limits, especially on a regular basis, is wise, or that it might not one day shear a Jesus bolt off...if you want to do high performance flying, do it in a high performance aircraft, especially if you’re gonna be taking someone with you, that’s just this aviator’s opinion.

@@michaelculpepper3845 I am not high performance pilot. Just ordinary one. I don't do acrobatics. My wing has +6G guaranteed safe limit (the ultimate limit is more). I think you can use it as often as you want. Those pipes are flexibile, they are not suffering micro cracks.

@@cedalto that’s excellent 👍🏻…I don’t understand your point though… you say you don’t don’t fly HP or aerobatics, that’s cool, but my comment is directed towards the pilot/aircraft in this video, who is doing high performance flying and aerobatics. In aerobatics load factors become very important, and those are going to be dictated by the manufacturers structural limitations. And there’s not a “guaranteed safe limit”. Aircraft designers determine a limit load factor which is a function of the load acting upon on the airplane x its gross weight, and the CFR requires that the structure be capable of supporting 1.5 times the design limit load factor as a factor of safety; categories of aircraft have different limit loads, and depending on that category it could have normal operation load factors, or maneuvering load factors. In my aircraft’s POH I have a published maneuvering speed (Va) between 88-102 knots depending on my weight, so for example if my gross weight is 2200 pounds my Va is 98 KIAS, meaning at 98 KIAS or less the wings will stall before structural damage occurs to the airplane, beyond 98 my max load factor is the same but it becomes much easier to input that load factor on the airplane with an abrupt control input. I have a Vg diagram in my handbook that depicts on a graph that envelope based on airspeed/load factor. In aerobatics other factors come in to play too, such as rolling G limit; when rolling the G force at the tip of the rising wing is greater due to the increased angle of attack caused by the aileron inputs, so aerobatic aircraft usually have a rolling g limit that is 2/3 the max g limit (i.e. 4G roll limit for a 6G aircraft). even if you keep a high-g maneuver within the design G limit, just because the wings don’t fall off doesn’t necessarily mean you aren’t going to start bending/breaking stuff either, that’s why the risk increases the closer you get to the edge of the envelope, as well as the fact that stress on an airframe compounds overtime, parts can gradually weaken or loosen over repeated G-loading within limits. Regardless of what you’re flying, you have to have a solid understanding of all of these factors involved with your machine, and maybe this guy does…I’m just saying I would feel safer doing these maneuvers in my airplane and it’s not even rated to do them, he’s pushing the edge of an envelope that I wouldn’t push…these particular type of aircraft have a history/reputation, especially in unusual attitude maneuvering. But that is my personal opinion and stance as an aviator.

@@cedalto I understand, and it’s good that you don’t do aerobatics if you’re not a high-performance pilot, though as a pilot I would recommend learning aerobatics from the right instructor when you have the right experience, personally I believe all aviators should be trained and familiar in unusual attitudes. But that’s really a relevant to what I’m saying, my point is is that this guy is doing aerobatics and high-performance maneuvering in an aircraft that really wasn’t designed to do that type of flying. And just because you have a positive 6G guaranteed load limit, that is probably based on normal operations, or a wings level pull… depending on your aircraft you may have a defined maneuvering speed Beyond which you have less and less structural margin for maneuvering loads as maneuvering speed is approached. Also when you get into aerobatics and you start combining control inputs it affects your load limits, now you’re putting multiple control inputs/multiple aerodynamic forces on the Aircraft at once which can compound. An example that aerobatic pilots have to be aware of is rolling G limit, oh is the GeForce at the tip of the rising wing will be greater due to the increased angle of attack caused by the aileron inputs. Generally the rolling G limit for aromatic aircraft is 2/3 of the max G limit, i.e. 4G rolling limit for an aircraft certified to 6G’s. Rolling G limit has gotten a lot of pilots trying to recover from a spiral dive. My point is, a lot goes into aerobatic flying, and this is not the type of aircraft I would do it in, at least not with someone riding with me. I’m not hating on this guy, it’s an experimental so he knows his machine, and clearly he trusts it more than I would 🤙🏻

What the hell are you doing here?!
