Pre-flight inspection failed

Yea, he made a nice smooth landing too, damm those planes look like fun.

They do, man. I was thinking the same thing while I was watching that. A nice trike will still set you back $15-20k plus, though.

And then you have to learn how to run the engine properly, a lot of people have had issues with engines seizing as they come down from high altitude while using little power, those small 2-strokes don't like cooling off rapidly.
 
"desperately clawing to stay aboard the aircraft."


wtf?? Looked pretty chill to me

Whoever posted that has a future in journalism. Still, that cat was not chill. Once its face came out of the wing and into the air stream it was scared shitless. It hunkered down, meowed, licked its lips, etc., and it only started moving again when the guy tried to grab it.

No aircooled engine does. Just takes a little common sense. Those planes come down fine so there is no real issue there.
the 310 is a real PITA, on the other hand. The air traffic controllers want you to come down like a turboprop, and that is NOT going to happen 😀

What is a "310", an engine (like a Rotax model#) or a plane?
