Courtney #72: Stalls In A Quicksilver MXL-2 Light Sport Airplane (Ultralight).

Hey courtney,r u a good kisser at 4,000 feet in a power off stall ???

GRACIAS

I wish I could find someone to take me up in an actual ultralight and not an LSA .. I tried to get trained in a Quicksilver type bu could only find an Aero trek 240.. a good aircraft but may as well have been.A 152.

How would you pass a light sport check ride with a dpe being death ? It seems like bad idea

How do your recover from a stall on takeoff if you lose power at 20 ft off the ground?

Check constantly for airframe and fabric hours. Are there any systems for real time checking for airframe and fabri real time checking? With sincerely regards.

I really enjoy your videos

What state is this?

4,000K feet? Wow - what' the service ceiling on that plane? ;-)

Great video Courtney. Quick question... Do you have wingtip fences installed on this MX2? They increase the lift that the wing produces (in general a good thing), but I don't know if that may change the stall characteristics slightly. Cheers!

I took flying lessons many years ago until a heart attack brought a rather abrupt end to it. The first time I did power off stalls in our Cessna 150 I fell in love with it. I did several and was getting pretty good at it when my instructor asked if I was ready to go back to the airfield. I then asked if I could do one or two more stalls first. He just laughed and said that I was the first student he had that asked if he could do more stalls. Most were really ready to be finished with that. I just had a ball doing them. Sure do wish I could fly again.

Ha ha , I used to teach on them down at Davidstowe 👍

very nic video, but you should always avoid using ailerons during stall. In most planes it is not a good idea :)

And use rudder to raise a wing in a stall, not the ailerons. On my first Quicksilver flight, the instructor was trying to get me to understand that I should take instructions before I tried to fly my newly acquired MX. He dove with full power till we were at about 70 mph, then pulled full back stick, and cut the power. When we ran out of momentum, that plane went from what seemed like straight up to straight down in about a tenth of a second. Seemed that way any way. I think my finger nail marks are still in the tubing I was holding on to twenty something years later. I like the video!

Remember to do "clearing turns" before maneuvers to be sure the airspace is free of traffic. I took my light sport training in a Jabiru 230. Practicing stalls was a piece of cake, the plane just mushed and wings stayed level. When I took my checkride, the examiner had me stall in a 45 degree bank turn. That was a totally different experience! (The plane broke violently to the left and I recovered quickly) The most dangerous stall is when the pilot is slow and low, in the pattern preparing to land, overshoots the turn to final and tries to line up with the runway by turning too steeply. Pilots need to practice this scenario at altitude with a qualified cfi. Every aircraft is slightly different, you need to know how your aircraft will perform. Thank you for these great videos.

I would like to see a slow speed stall during a high bank turn. Thank You.

Nice flying👍👍

Hi Courtney. Once more a nice vídeo. Your way to explain is very fine. Objective and simple. Thank you for this, from Brazil.

I liked seeing the shadow of the control surfaces reacting to your control inputs at the end
