Re: [Aus-soaring] Awesome landing
It's a fake I'm afraid Jim. The aircraft is a Giles 300, all carbon fibre, Lycoming AEIO-540 souped up to 450hp, pilot is James Andersson a Euro airshow pilot. I have looked at it very carefully and in my opinion, the whole thing is a very well edited fake. Done possibly with a combination of a remote control model and real footage with the wing edited out. In the video, when the G300 loses the right wing it goes into a spin to the left, which is aerodynamically impossible. In real life it would immediately have snapped violently to the right and continued to roll uncontrollably to the right. I would have expected to see some control pushrod remains hanging off as well. The dead give away though is just after the wing separates there is an instant where the shadow of the (now non-existent) wing is cast over the fuselage. The other interesting thing is that, the wings on this particular aircraft are assembled into the airframe in a very similar manner to a glider, the spars of each wing dovetail together inside the fuselage and are mated with high tensile steel wing pins. If one wing came off , the other would follow suit in short order. Another You-Tube prank but clever editing.

Re: [Aus-soaring] AJGC Terry Towelling hats - your very own!
Cool Just some trivia - did you know I'm responsible for the OFITTH acronym? (Well actually my power instructor is). Years ago when I did my PPL, I had an instructor named Jonathon who was also a hang glider pilot. This meant that the power lesson sometimes got abandoned when there were particularly good thermals ;) At other times there was a lot of rivalry between the two soaring disciplines. Anyway when talking about gliding to him during one flight, his response was Oh you guys are just a bunch of Old Farts in Terry Towelling Hats. I thought it was so funny, I told Emilis and others about it when I got back.. -Cath On 15/11/2008, at 8:00 PM, Gus Stewart wrote: Hi all!

In true Hollywood tradition it was (loosely) based on a true story that happened in 1970 (attached) but that was before the advent of handycams so nobody would have filmed it. Here is some explanation behind this video and some other interesting viral marketing videos. http://www.reggiepaulk.com/2008/10/killathrill-generates-huge-buzz-with.html I heard that the clip was even shown on TV nightly news. It's a good lesson to apply a healthy dose of scepticism to anything you see on the internet.
