Bloop1 Motorfloater Flying

Flying the Bloop 1 ultralight airplane in November 2011. See my website or search for “Bloop ultralight airplane“ for more information or to download the drawings. These are normal recreational flights, in the original two rudder Bloop. The Bloop was designed to fly as slow as possible. Steering is rudder only, there are no ailerons. The wheels are at the center of lift, so the plane can stop nose down or tail down. This is a homebuilt motorfloater, using a paramotor engine, kind of a flying scooter, built to fly slow and easy, and to take a beating. Most ultralights are not like this, they have to fly much faster, they are relatively hard to fly, and they are not robust.
