1.Pilots do not love preflight jokes. Once someone has asked take a familiar for a ride, softly speaking, with sharp sensations :). In result and has left..:(. Have taken off successfully, have waved wings. And here, at height 20m. above a runway, in a radiator has jammed the valve, there was a clap and the engine has stopped. As at that moment some people was on a runway and other flying device it was necessary to choose other platform of a landing urgently. Beside only an old road it was also a cane in growth of the person. At gross weight of the device with two people about 350 kg. It was possible "parachuting" (to lower vertical speed due to horizontal dispersal and the area of a wing) and it is as far as possible successful to land........
The Hang-glider was not subject to restoration: ((:} .
2.Tested the new device with a wing "Frigate". At gauging draft of the engine appeared that it is insufficient all about 100 kg. But not looking at it have taken off on the sea. The rain and a gale after a while began. There was a necessity urgently to come back to base. Have begun the accelerated flying up to sea side. At height 50m. above the sea and removal(distance) 250m. from a beach the engine has decayed and did not start. Taking into account an amplifying wind it was possible to add speed of planning of the device and to try to hold on up to a shore. Visually the distance was too big... To hold on it was possible up to the first sandy island near the beach. At impact the deltaplane jumped from the ground on 20m. in before, "miracle" having kept balance, has flown through a strip of water and has landed on a beach. Having ploughed sand on 20m. in length and having buried in him wheels the hang-glider has risen and here storm began. (the Reason of a stop of the engine short circuit was. (Note)) Next day was necessary to depart not in better weather. The wind has changed on opposite and let's fly up, pressing the device to the ground a descending stream of air because of a wood strip near beach. At small height, on trees, in the maximal power setting it was possible to hold on up to airfield. After a landing teetotal " the second pilot " has decided to "celebrate" returning :7.
