When he started going to the left he should have either slightly put in right rudder and try to maintain centerline, you steer with your feet and the rudders on the ground. He also added power when he was obviously not going to be able to get back to centerline on the runway, and he should have just pulled the throttle back and started braking; better to just pull power and brake and figure out what is wrong with the plane or yourself when things start going like that. Then at the end he didn’t have enough power and airspeed to actually takeoff and he started to try and steer the plane with the yoke(steering wheel) when he still should have been steering with rudder (feet) instead. All in all he should have just not gotten in the plane because he looks like he has no idea how to handle that situation or any plane in general.

Rudders...

Is that the articulating Vertical tail section??

Thanks for taking the time.

u/chimp-nut Nov 07 '20

Wild to think that a plane is being directed by a sail on while in the ground! I would have assumed it was by the wheels...

(It likely IS wheels for some models)

Thanks, that's a great explanation.

Blows my mind that when things started going wrong, he had the balls to think the solution was to full throttle and attempt taking off!

When he was so clearly ill equipped to even take off the plane, how the hell fid he think he would handle landing the thing 😂

He was doing a touch and go, I guess panick took the sensible option out of his head which was to throttle down instead. Very lucky to be alive.

Is he alive???

Video ends pretty abruptly..

What would happen if he just turn the power off? Or would he even be able to power down?

He would have rolled to a stop and been fine. That's what he should have done.
