    This video is not of those small planes but just failed gay small helicopters. Perhaps the gay pilots and passengers grabbed each others' "sticks" and it failed?

    In a handful of UL and experimental accidents where I'm familiar with the pilots, only one involved structural failure. All the rest were pilot error; flying a good airplane into the ground.

    I'm a pilot with over 23,000 hours. Might be over 24K. I'd have to check.

    I've been flying since 1976. Almost constantly since 1980 until late 2019.

    I'd love to fly a gyrocopter!

    Most of my time is helicopters (about 2400 hours), single-engine turboprop (about 3500 hours), multi-engine turboprop (about 8,000) and multi-engine turbojet (about another 10,000 hours).

    Have you had any lessons?

    Here's another silly boy who peeded in bottles cause he had OCD or something who crashed and survived.

    I will let you guess who.

    Harrison Ford was flying a WWII vintage plane not a DIY plane.
