Και για να τελειώνουμε τα με τις αιτίες ατυχήματος του Κώστα, ας δούμε τι εγραψε για αυτό το ατυχημα ο γκουρού των μοσκιταδων Richard Cobb (εχει και το site //wind-drifter.com/ που μπορεις να βρεις οτι θελεις για τους flphg ).
Even though the pilot's legs were in the right place, the motor,
frame, shaft, harness legs, etc are not light, and they were far to
the right. So it was effectively a cross-control situation.
Points in order of importance as I see them:
1. more airspeed (lower nose angle) for take off
2. release throttle immediately once turn developed that low (get wing
leveled, land safely, start over)
3. feet in harness (or at least one foot) to make sure the harness
follows your body.
I remember when I first got my unit, reading about someone having a
difficult landing in turbulent conditions because they were upright
and the motor was swinging side to side behind them, in opposition to
their control movements. Ever since reading that I have always made
sure to have at least one foot back in the boot to stabilize the
harness on landing approaches. This video was a good demonstration of
the same sort of cross control that can happen on takeoff.
