The spin was supposed to be a normal erect spin to the right, but for various unintentional reasons the spin went flat, up until that point I had never flat spun an aircraft. I eventualy mananged to get the aircraft into a normal erect spin from which I was able to recover. This aircraft is not fitted with an electric starter motor, so I was unable to restart the engine. During the \"flare\" to land the main undercarriage caught the top wires of a barbed wire fence that was invisible to me. After coming to rest inverted I waited 20mins for the rescue services to come and right the aircraft so I was able to exit via the outward opening canopy. The aircraft rotated 26 times total, I was extremely dissorientated after the recovery to straight and level flight, and was unable to read the instruments. From the video I estimate I recovered at about 700ft from an entry altitude of 3500ft. If you listen carefully you will hear me say:\"I think this is it\". At that stage I did not think I would be able to recover. However I continued to try various control inputs based on the aircraft attitude and rotational rate, which eventually effected a recovery. My thanks go to the emergency services that found me and allowed my escape. [More] [Less]

Here is his commentary: \Attached is an approach into Big Creek Idaho (U60). Best approach into this strip (wind permitting) is from the North, landing on Runway 19. The runway is higher on both ends, low in the middle. Therefore, be prepared and set up to land on a surface that is sloping away from you on landing. Tie downs and closet toilet are on the south end. This was my first landing here and the approach should have been a bit higher. Its an easy walk to Big Creek Lodge. Great outfitter and good food. Aircraft is a 1959 C-172 180hp C/S prop. My co-Pilot and cameraman is Clyde Watson, also from Midland, TX.</td></tr><tr><td>Category</td><td>:</td><td>Light Aircraft</td></tr><tr><td>Views</td><td>:</td><td>456</td></tr><tr><td>Votes</td><td>:</td><td>0</td></tr><tr><td>Rating</td><td>:</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Downloads</td><td>:</td><td>1</td></tr><tr><td>Added by</td><td>:</td><td>mark</td></tr><tr><td>Date</td><td>:</td><td>2010-02-08 08:31:50</td></tr></table>$	Big Creek, Idah... http://www.aviationvids.comAnother great video from Dan Linebarger.

This new jet pack idea may not be the best way to get to work, but it sure does look like a good time. The German company MS Watersports GmbH is marketing the water-pressure-powered JetLev-flyer \jet pack\ and selling it (lessons included) for about $128,000 ... or just about what a brand new two-seat 120 mph light sport aircraft would cost you. But you cant use one of those underwater. For what its worth, well bet this thing makes significantly more noise, too.
