Hey! Does anybody have a copy of this rough take off video? It seems it has been removed by youtube for some rule violation (What was that about?)

Thanks! :-)

Gordon, I don't know why YouTube removed the video, I already asked my friend that shot the video to upload it to Vimeo, as soon as he uploads it I will post it hire again.

Thank you guys, like I said, I don't know what I was thinking, I think the important thing hire is to recognize the mistake and try not to do it again.

Hi Diego, looked really scary, thanks for courage to share this so we can learn from each others experiences.

Hi Diego ( Die Go ) ???
The comment by the photographer certainly adds to the reality. The good thing however is that you are able to re look, re think and analize the situation. If you hadn't gone through this process you should be worried.
But for this reason,you, you are OK!
Half the fun of flying a trike is that it we are more often than other pilots challenged by such natural elements, but as we fly for fun, we don't have to fly. It's not that you have to get a paying passenger home before sunset.The burning desire to make the flight, espesially when there are others to please, may be our downfall, so we need to keep our wits about us. It's best to sometimes be the softy and chicken out so we can fly again another day.
I learn something new with every flight. But,as a friend once said, "Make mistakes, but when you make a mistake, make a new mistake, don't repeat the old ones!
Have a great day!
