eastmeg2 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Well, that's Nanolight Trike for you. I went forward to the next video of a crash due to EFATO. . . the motors they use leave a lot to be desired. They'd be a lot better off using the Rotax-288 single cylinder 28hp motor, assuming that's had the same engineering development as the early 503's & 582's. They also don't seem to have been trained to keep landing areas within glide distance . . . Rgds, Glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick-p Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Darren, those BRS chutes can be a blessing but also a big danger in certain circumstances. Mate of mine had a heavy hit in a Quicksilver and it broke and seperated the airframe at a point where the cable for firing the rocket motor was routed and it cause the cable to pull tight and fire of the rocket. End result, the instructor received a severely burnt arm. Close call because a few inches to the right and he could have lost his head. I think my mates bumb got scorched.
