Van's RV3 - The Flying Carrot (almost) does a ground loop

Hey! That's Cameron Park...not much of a ground loop at the high speed turn off, thank goodness. That RV-3's a great little high performance machine, one of my favorites. I'll meet you in Auburn for lunch in the Luscombe.  Juan- Nevada City, CA

That plane can boogie!! I want one!!

Quick and beautiful airplane.

what about that new nissan engine? Weight 40kg and have 400 hp ^^

You should land on the runway, not the displaced threshhold.

God I love those things.  And you got off very lightly!  A bouncing tail only :-)

I guess I'm a bit "old school," but I thought I'd detected a bit of "hot dogging" during that flight (?)
And, landing BEFORE the runway (so you could turn off at the beginning of the runway) was not cool at all.   Just reinforced your hot dog tendencies.   Didn't enjoy the video at all.  But, in over 30 years of flying "little planes," I like to see folks follow the rules and have a good time.

Turning off the active at way too fast a taxi was where the GL started. Luckily he got it before a loop happened. Also the last comment is correct. He just wanted to be cool and get the first off ramp, not cool !

Landing on the pre-threshold/displacement is illegal

fly it like you stole it

What kind of neighbourhood is that!? Everybody has an airplane in the driveway??? :D

I was hopeing for a hammerhead in there. That RV 3 is one sweet plane, thanks for the ride.

How fast are you buzzing the runway?

Pilot never quite had control during the entire flight. Back to basics. Have fun with the basics before you hurt yourself or someone else. This vid could be used for enforcement action.

That's not "almost"

Doesn't look like 1500 AGL to me.

how was that an almost ground loop?

not sure your flying (and publishing) is doing GA any good... sure ain't as cool as you think...

Wow. How many regs busted? Why shoot for the first taxiway with all that runway available? Aside from all that, your plane appears to fly really nice. What have you been able to squeeze out of her for range in economy cruise?

Looked like a hell of a lot of fun to me ! No sense in having an airplane if you can piss someone off every once in awhile !

Displaced threshold can be used for takeoff not landing

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Fun video to watch, thank you for sharing.

Not supposed to use that part of the runway !

I landed our Champ at Cameron Park last year. Tricky runway because it sags in the middle and both ends are going into hills haha...to say the least, it was a scary landing and takeoff. But im sure i'd just get used to it after some time....but no room for errors or engine out...you'll be in someone's backyard

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Next time try pulling the stick all the way back when the tailwheel touches down. ;)

Yup flying like a jackass

Cool coffin

Shitty pilot

Bunch of vans engineers, pilots from yale school of aeronautics and ATC geniuses here......and not one of them can afford your life brother, enjoy your rv, didnt think i wanted one because its a tail dragger but maybe....maybe...25k vs 40k for a tricycle....

I'm thinking your friend told you a lie about the 'emergency landing behind'. you should take out a life insurance policy on him!

What do you get when you mix a dumbass and a rv3......this video
