Where is the grease?

It's a plane😅, not an archaeopteryx

I bet I know what color his shorts were when he got back onto the ground

No agreguen turbinas a sus planeadores gente, ni mucho menos hagan piruetas, las alas no están hechas para soportar intesas fuerzas G.

Archaeopteryx: isn't this a flightless bird?

Lovely Can you tell us where can we find the plans?

What a raging moron

для каждой техники - свои режимы работы, нельзя планер высшим пилотажем насиловать!

Another life saved by a ballistic parachute system.

TF for the parachute

for those wondering, the purpose of the mechanism is to mix the flaps and ailerons. all four surfaces move together, so ailerons go up and down with the flaps und vice versa (aka flaperons). this increases maneuverability. the trick is that in the landing flap position (full downward deflection of the inboard flaperons) the ailerons deflect up again. this decreases the angle of attack on the outer wing and maintains aileron effectiveness even when the flapped (inner) section is already stalled. as a bonus, it also messes up the lift distribution and creates even more drag, allowing for steeper approaches.

May the G-Force be with you..., or perhaps against?

I wonder if while flying within spec tolerance, strong turbulence might snap the wing spar.

Va is maneuvering speed....never exceed

Is it true that many students in the nearby school were killed by falling debris and that the pilot is in jail now for manslaughter?

To much load equals this .m

Overpriced.

That's pure physics, this kind of plane is absolutely not designed to do this. The main problem is the pilot...

When the wing spar snapped, it said, "Ooooh, that's not good." When the wings separated from the aircraft, I said, "Ooooh! That's REALLY not good!" When the parachute opened, I sighed, "Well that's REALLY good!"

The parachute system saved him.

Proof once again that some pilots are just plain idiots.

Could see that one coming. Those are the kind of pilots you avoid.

Given that you can buy an older glass glider for $10-30k why ??

I thought oh crap, the person flying this thing is dead. Then I saw the parachute. Whew!

Human genius has its limits but human stupidity knows no limit ...

Ouf ! 🥶

When you know what you do, you can do nearly everything. If not, the danger begins. The money was not lost. It was a good investment in knowledge. I saw Walter Extra on an Airshow demonstrating his new EXTRA 300. The maneuvers were breathtaking. But this man knew everything about his limits and the limits of his plane. He won several aerobatic competitions. At airshows privat pilots convert to top gun guys. Why ??

Overload of the paper clip holding the wing to the fuselage

I'm wondering if the guy who thought it would hold up to a loop has any money he wants to invest in my new crypto token?

As usual pilot error

Thinks he’s Tex Johnson

A dumbass with money is a bad combination. Especially if it involves getting ten feet off the ground.

Weak plane design

Hi, you would think this bone head would learn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank goodness for parachutes

Even if you do not pull loops, you can get into lift with as many 'G's as a loop. Weak. Redesign is required.

Can the designer respond? What is the limit load factor exectly? Onlyto get all the kwik-kwak straight.

This guy looked like he was trying to pull 2-3 Gs but it's an origami glider that weighs 130 lbs and assembles like lego. It needs to be flown as such. I'd LOVE to have one but only for gentle soaring.

He was obviously hit by an alien beam weapon. 🎉Obviousky. 🎉Next you'll be saying the recent UFO craze was a duck flapping its wings filmed by an F18 and lens flair in a camera. 🎉Obcuous beam weapon 🎉Movie script is mine.

why?

At this high price you can really expect more stability.

Unscheduled catastrophic disassembly......

What is the max load factor!

Archaopteryx are not aerobatic rated There's old pilots and bold pilots... I'm sure he'll find a way to kill himself again

I was literally about to buy one.

This doesn’t look like a crash to me lol. Looks like he went past the never exceed speed. Probably too much load factor and put too much stress on the aircraft

Looks like a cars watts linkage, that's locked out in one of two positions, and then you just move the center pivot point for ailerons. It's the "locking mechanism" that makes it seem so complicated

A clear case of under-designed plane and pilot stupidity.

Poncho Sánchez grande

The plane is perfect, flew it myself, the pilot was told not to fly loops as it is not designed for it, yet he did… he was lucky that the parachute was there to save him from his idiotic decision
