Ultralight Airplane LANDING FAILS!! Quicksilver MX II 2020

Every pilot loves to laugh at other pilots and their landings....Learning to land can be tough. There are more, but My GoPro crapped out on me ....Probably from the rough landings?..These were my EARLIEST attempts.
BEFORE y'all go crazy with the comments....These were very early attempts at landing...This is not present tense...I did this video so we could chuckle at my early struggles with some bad habits. The MX2 lands very easily when you let it land. Power off landings are a vital thing to be proficient in. I've had a couple, and they went just fine.

Just watched this video for fun..After two years of flying, I can definitely see all the stupid things I was doing. I guess I'll have to do a great landing compilation tuned.

Anyone willing to share his mistakes like this is ok in my book. 👍
Thanks for sharing - looks like a lot of fun!

never thought a Quick Silver MX would need a 10.000+ foot runway to "land"

I have to stop commenting before I see the whole video, but this is FUNNY! Second guy on a 1/2 mile final for 4 minutes, while two sit idling and waiting...they had time to take a short nap!

learning to land is learning to fly 6 inches from the runway and slowly cutting power. :) You will never bounce. Thanks for sharing your video.

You could walk away from every landing... Well done!

[hblwade]

This video makes me believe that even I have a chance at learning to fly. Thank you!

[jypsyjewels]

you touched down. nothing fell off or caught on fire. that's a win in my book. anyone brave enough to fly these things I would never talk bad about!

I will say the gas tank directly above your head design is scary.

Over halfway through the video and having seen a failed landing yet.

Two criticisms on the forced deadstick. 1) unless otherwise unsafe, land with the furrows (not washboarding), and B) Land closer the road.

Lol! Looks like a lot of fun! I'm a big boy so ultra-lights are not in my future, but I love that you're having a blast! keep the blue side up!

[ntesla]

Oh dear god... what's up with you and that throttle man? I saw a few decent approaches and right when you should've cut throttle and buried the stick, you add power and go porpoising down the tarmac... I hope you got over that bad habit.

[treylem]

As advertised! I bet he's a pro at power-to-idle landings now 👍

[Mimsk]

Rumor has it that one guy uses 2500' to land his Ultralight Heavy

I can understand this. Get as many landings as you can out of one approach. Saves on fuel.

I learned to fly and got my license in a two seat quicksilver. A few times my instructor had me land on the mains and and go straight down the center line keeping the nose off the ground for as long as I could. I once made it down the whole 5000' runway. I think it helped me most with throttle control on landings

[ChrT]

Airspeed is key. Some approaches are too fast, and when flaring, you float for too long. Adding to that, you seem not to pull the throttle completely out. In the long float, the wind then does with you what it wants.

[Skeptik]

Chuckle - Back off on the power, let it settle and hold it one foot above the runway, it will land itself.

I don't know what to say? I'm not familiar with this channel but it appears to be someone who has not had much training and flying experience to say the least. I have just over 280 hrs in a MXL 2 going back to the mid 80's. I haye to say this, but i am curious if this person is still alive and/or still trying to fly?
