It says its a student pilot, but I think with that kinda engine control, and the landing afterwards.. its sombody that really knows how to control an aircraft.. but just who in the world would pull those kind of manuvers so close to the ground... IN A ULTRALIGHT??

What is your opinions on this?

That looks like very controlled flight to me. This is not a student. Also if it was then I would be expecting very excited commentary and a few expletives from the camera man Huh

yea thats kinda what I figured after the first few loops.. but even just doing those kind of manouvers in a ultralight shocked me that the wings didnt fold up and break off

Before giving an opinion I suggest reading the uploader's comments. Wink

It might be a skilled pilot but not a very clever one doing aerobatics at that altitude. IMHO

I would be more worried about the tail breaking off. I doubt the type is certified for aerobatics.

Funny you should mention that, but I was watching Discovery the other night about that very thing, aerobatic ultralights. One of the examples shown looks just like this one, so they are about.
