It says its a student pilot, but I think with that kinda engine control, and the landing afterwards.. its sombody that really knows how to control an aircraft.. but just who in the world would pull those kind of manuvers so close to the ground... IN A ULTRALIGHT??

What is your opinions on this?

That looks like very controlled flight to me. This is not a student. Also if it was then I would be expecting very excited commentary and a few expletives from the camera man :-?

yea thats kinda what I figured after the first few loops.. but even just doing those kind of manouvers in a ultralight shocked me that the wings didnt fold up and break off

Before giving an opinion I suggest reading the uploader's comments.

Yes, we all know that this is NOT: a radio controlled model nor a student pilot. The title is intended as light-hearted humor. If you do not get it, then this kind of humor is not for you. Move on to the next video. ......

It might be a skilled pilot but not a very clever one doing aerobatics at that altitude. IMHO
There are old pilots & bold pilots but no old, bold pilots.

I would be more worried about the tail breaking off. I doubt the type is certified for aerobatics.

Funny you should mention that, but I was watching Discovery the other night about that very thing, aerobatic ultralights. One of the examples shown looks just like this one, so they are about.

as Matt suggested before that can't be a crazy student ,has to be a professional acrobatic pilot (a little bit crazy) too low
