Whatcha go and do that for?!?! Seriously though, glad all is well. Not a fan of the Vitto throttle and I'm a cheapskate. I always build my own...for cheap. I should make more Pumpkins...

I just bought a brand new Moster 185 and second flight it left me stranded on a cross country because the pull starter would not engage and start the motor. I’m starting to believe the components that vittorazi produces are junk. They need to get on top of these easy fixes that can cost people their life or a huge headache

For an emergency so close to the ground you probably got away the best you could. I’m interested though, what are the orange loops around your brakes?

Those were temporary extensions for when I flew my Flash cruiser which has high hang points. Sorry I took so long to get back to you. I use something else now. 😀

I'm glad you weren't hurt. It is recommended to replace the throttle. For example, products made by Polini or Fly Products...

Wow. Glad you made it out without any real injuries. Pretty messed up that your throttle completely failed with regular use like that. The manufacturer needs to do something with their product asap before they get someone killed. Anyway, thanks for the video. I try to watch clips like these so that I can be aware of anything that can go wrong and be better prepared for my own emergencies in the future.

If when you press the throttle completely if you have a gap between the level and the throttle body you need more slack in the cable. Because if not you will eventually press to hard on the level to break it inside. FYI, you can buy the level at Skysportusa for $6.99

It seems like the face plant in the dirt is the best way to do this if you can roll your body that way. your helmet protects your head pretty well but the people who land feet first extended end up with broken back or legs. Glad only your pride was hurt!

Glad you're OK. It looked like you didn't flare (much) before impact. Is that the 360 camera effect or do you have some commentary on the 2 seconds before landing? Happy flying :)

Glad things worked out ok! In 27 yrs of flying ultralights, I have discovered that there is a wide variety of ways to lose power. This time, for you, it was the throttle mechanism. Expect to lose power at any time.

Thanks for posting this David. It’s good that the community can learn from the misfortunes of others. I also have a Vthrottle and broke it (carelessly). Keeping a bag for flights away from the LZ can be a handy thing.

No Bodley injury was the best part. You probably have been investigating what throttle your getting. What have you decided? I have the factory throttle and would like something better as well.

David that's not the first time you have had issues with the throttle if I recall correctly. A quality replacement would be my top priority along with an additional life insurance policy. Very happy you weren't hurt.
