    What was the FAA's findings for the engine failure?

    It happened in April of 2009, I originally suspected a publicity stunt with 2 cameras and a professional video guy on board but have not read the FAA's investigation report for the engine failure.

    Here is more info about it:

    That video is bunk. It's old news too.

    If they were out of gas, how'd they keep getting the engine started?

    Video was made to get them on TV. Also, it's a ultralight. Not an airplane.
