The "Captain" has competition

[Lostdog65]

My first unusual attitude was a split-S...and I learned at SPARTAN!!

Whatup? No biggie...looked like a C-152...been there, done that with and without students. They got's to know how to deal with the unusual crap they'll get themselves into someday. Personally I recommend you go to an Upset Training School and not go out and practice on your own!

He lists his income as 250,000K and higher That's probably his parent's debt to Embry Riddle.

What I think is funny - is that in one of the comments to his video, he talks about all these DecathElons, Citabria's and Extra's he flies.. Where are the video's from these? If I was out mixing it up in an extra, I sure think I could come up with a better video that me "corkscrewing" in a 72..

In another comment - someone asks him if he's had an engine failure and his macho, hardcore 250K makin answer is "Yes, MANY, why?" Sounds like someone's been flying some top-o-d-line Extra's..

Man, the internet is a crazy thing.. Looks like Chris may have been having trouble his entire life.. I'm not 1000% sure this is the same Chris Karling, but they are both in Wi..

He has some hot women on his myspace webpage. What is the big deal, so he spun a plane. I recall a video of a 707 doings a roll. Now that is something to talk about.

What was that? Not a spin entry...maybe a sloppy half wingover or a wimpy split s.

I had an instructor do something like that once and tried to tell me it was a spin recovery. I went and took Bill Kershner's spin course and learned a thing or two....or twenty. It's only technically a spin after it's stable and won't recover on its own by releasing the controls (3 revs).

Additionally, the only ones anyone ought to brag about are the ones (quote) "done in an appropriate airplane, with parachutes, with a qualified instructor and with the fuel unported and the engine stopped" ...unquote...as in after revolution #13 or so. I wish I had a video of that famous 20 turn spin...

That was some great fun, and the best money I ever spent. Stall recoveries botched by students didn't phase me ever again.

i did some spin training in an extra 300and ya botched recoveries into a spin (incipient) dont even bother me anymore. had a student that constantly wouldnt listn to me as i told him rudder, rudder, more right rudder untill he got himself into a spin. i let it go about 2 rotations till i interviened. to this day he stays co-ordinated though out

 

[C601]

I agree with McJohn..It's not like he's doing this at 30 feet..At least he has a pretty good safety margin as far as his altitude..

I guess that gives him plenty of time to kiss his ass goodbye when something breaks off......

 

[wmuflyguy]

It is not a Spin Entry, It is a sloppy Split S. Granted, i'll give him credit, he didn;t try to fly the aircraft inverted, which would risk folding the wings.

Hell the name of the video is split s, so how did youget spin entry out of it?

 

[Tram]

Don't give him credit too soon wmuflyguy, he's got another video called "corkscrew" or something like that where is very adiment (did I spell that right?) about being inverted..

 

[Thedude]

Geez....that is the ugliest Split-S I have ever seen. Even worse than some of mine. Gotta remember, the aircraft doesnt know which way is up when it has a positive 1g loading on it.

"He has some hot women on his myspace webpage"

Its pretty easy to get hot women on your myspace profile. Most of them are webcam girls that are looking to be famous and they add everyone as a friend.

 

[sky37d]

Hey Mr. Internet Safety Ranger, get over it! You act like he just posted a video of himself screwing a barnyard animal or something. That video is nothing.

Oh, cool, now I have something else to look for on yourtube, and google video. Do you think they call it porn, if it involves animals?

 

[epic!]

i think we can all agree that, that music sucked

 

[sky37d]

Yeah, there should be an audio training class, to put appropriate music to the video you are creating.

 

[U of I Tweak]

Part that gets me in this video is the comments he's made and responded to the ones that others have posted including gems such as:

"Well over 30 degrees pitch and 60 degrees bank, hope you had a parachute with you."
"YUP. Because We were so Leagle With what we were doing anyway. (rolls eyes)"


"so I take it the split s was unauthorized?"
"Sir. It was in a 172. NO KIDDING!"

I just can't get his swagger and the arrogant way he proudly admits breaking the law.
