Thanks so much for the kind words. Truth be told, my passengers and I are French so when we were not chatting with ATC it was all in french so not much to listen to. I just wanted to capture the beauty of flight. I do love listening to the ATC versions so when i do record them they will be in there. I have dozens more videos in the edit process.

Yes, using the Insta 360 with the small plastic receiver bracket screwed into the Jack Pad locations. Easy to put on and super solid.

​@@gogilgauok, I'll have to look for that attachment. BTW, what do you use for editing software? I just retired from the Air Force doing Video production (puvlic affairs) and got kinda spoiled with AVID Media Composer.

Thanks, was so lucky when i was searching available letters (only get to choose the last 3), sure enough my name and initials!... Pretty easy to know who's is Gil's plane

Simple. Most of these flights occur where there is no ATC and no radio chatter, often quiet for 20 minutes. The 360 wing camera and cockpit views have no useable audio. I often record cockpit audio to my phone using Bluetooth direct from the audio panel but this chatter often does not match where there is nice scenery. Many times i speed up the video to keep the footage tighter and less boring, this then instantly makes any audio i have out of sync with the picture. I keep cockpit audio in some of my more technical flying videos like Departing from Sedona Airport.

@@gogilgau I wouldn't mind hearing the cockpit chatter during ground ops, takeoff and landing. Some tunes in cruise is cool. PS My Warrior meets my needs right now but given the funds I'd have a Cardinal in a heartbeat.

@@rickunruh8132 Warriors are fun also. My good buddy has an archer II and we fly together lots, just got back from Prince Rupert BC, was roughly 3100nm trip. On the way flew from Courtenay airpark in BC back to my home base in Steinbach Manitoba (8 hours of flying and 67 gallons!) my tanks are 60, so ALMOST 1 tank of gas to cross half of North America, Cardinal is really good on gas.

Thanks, i am also a videographer / editor so i do all these videos for myself but only recently decided to share them online. I always use copyright music in my videos which youtube sometimes blocks but when it allows i will continue to share them. Just fun to relive the moments on the cloudy days or when i'm old and not flying anymore, i will relive the moments, thanks for watching.

Thanks for the kind words, the flight was late march last year and we had our own adventures climbing to 14.5K to cross the mountains but stay below icing. I use the Insta 360X3 under the wing as it provides me simplicity of just hit record and focus on my flying and after when i'm on the ground i choose and frame the shots i want. I record the cockpit audio using my iPhone "VOICE MEMO" feature as it can pull off the blue tooth audio from the Garmin audio panel. Enjoy your cardinal!

Regular size iPad and the Ram Yoke mount system. When i went with G3X i no longer have old, analog gauges on the lower portion of the panel so iPad blocks nothing.

Appreciate the kind words

My thoughts exactly if i had an Engine out!

Was chatting with the officers in the FBO, they were just looking for a good place to stop and have supper. I told we were headed to Sedona, they said Great idea and they followed us there. Just fun. 177's were only made for 10 years but if you research them you will fall in love. 4' wide cabin inside, 4' wide doors that open 90 degrees each side, 140 knots TAS on 8.5 GPH, 60 gallon tanks with just under 1000 nm Range. Wing is 1 foot further back so you can see up and down just as easy. Very fast controls, a real sports sedan. This guys video sums it up. th-cam.com/video/iBpMnSYm0Jc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=z1DtnttAMi7wUUuq

Sure, not a problem. Sorry for your loss.

Thanks, i use a Insta 360X3 on the wing, Sony Action cam on the ceiling inside and i use the Garmin Bluetooth to record the intercom audio directly to my iPhone using "voice Memo", works great.

The wing camera is using the small plastic helmet mount bracket included with my Sony action camera. I drilled two holes into it and it screws directly into the mounting Jack stand spots in the wing of the RG. I then just click the camera into plate when needed and leave that small receiving bracket on the plane the rest of the time.

I plan on keeping this plane a LONG time so i wanted to make it exactly the way i wanted it, very happy with the results. Thanks

The registration was a big hint that this was "his" plane.

@@rickunruh8132 Yeah I got that. Thanks.

Cardinals are great, pretty hard to replace. I use the Insta 360X3 on the wing screwed into the jack stand pad locations. The 360 is an amazing tool, you only need to hit record when you want to capture anything, all the work is done after in post production. So it's a camera that adds TONS of time in the editing process but the unlimited ability to pan, zoom, re-frame, crop, rotate allows for some amazing shots after. Tons of work but if your ok with editing and creating shots after, buy one, otherwise, you will have Gigs of footage and no patience to sort it out.

​@@gogilgauHi Gil and thank you for the reply. OF course! The Jack Stand pad holes! I was thinking the wing tiedown but that seems way better. I'll definitely look at the insta 360. Is it a newer version and do your have external power or does it run long enough? I retired last year and did video production for Space Systems Command and used AVID Media Composer. I just need to find another edit software that I can be "friends with".

@@peteranninos2506 I am using the Insta 360 version X3, about a year old. I didn't bother running power to the camera for two reasons. 1 - Camera can be remotely turned on / off from my phone while inside the plane so only turn it on / off at key moment. #2 - Raw files are quite large and need to be stitched using their insta 360 software, takes many hours to render and now double the file sizes again. As an editor (i use Final Cut pro) but used Avid also, i just grab the key clips and choose the pan, tilt, zoom, rotation as i wish in my editor, Takes tons of time but results are amazing. Long story short, last thing you want is 3 hours of 360 footage to transfer, convert and browse.

Hi Gil and thank you again. I'll definitely have a look at that camera and be prepared for some pretty big files! We have Adobe premiere and Sony Vegas at our local TV (P.E.G.) station where I run it for free. I'll have to learn one of those. Keep up the interesting videos! They give me inspiration 😃.

Thanks for pointing some of those out, flew over them but didn't know all of them. Great trip!

My battery was getting weak, never noticed it when starting the plane however, on this particular leg, -20 temps at altitude, i had the angle of attack and Pitot heaters running most of the time, so when it was time to cycle the gear, the startup load on the battery just shut it down. Reset the master switch and everything resumed 100%. I put a new battery in when we landed in Sedona, mine was 8 years old already!

Thanks, i use a Insta 360X3 on the wing, Sony Action cam on the ceiling inside and i use the Garmin Bluetooth to record the intercom audio directly to my iPhone using "voice Memo", works great.

Thank you! That’s smart to use voice memo over blue tooth. Never thought of that

Winds were fine but we felt a few bumps going around Navajo Mountain. Other than a few bumps here and there it was a great flight. Winds further out west were crazy strong so that's why we called it a night in Santa Fe.

Thanks, Love the Cardinal, really great cross country plane. Dreams can come true.

Video was labeled and intended just a demonstration of the vertical navigation and automated holding procedures of the Garmin AP. I have since completed my IFR and hand flew my entire check ride. Examiners do however expect you to be proficient in both, running your automation AND being able to do it manually.

Brilliant avionics package though.

I rented for 18 years before finally buying my own plane, went from 15 hours a year to 115 a year! Looked at 172, DA40, SR20, Grumman Tiger, Archer but so happy i decided to be patient and find the right cardinal RG. Decided RG due to fuel injection, 1000 pound useful load and i cruise all the time at 135 Knots lean of peak and 8.5 gph. Just last week i went rich of peak and was doing 151 knots level flight, 4500 feet so it's a great cross country platform. If you haven't checked it out, goto cardinalflyers.com and there are tons of articles about the Cardinal. Two huge 4 foot door that open 90 degrees makes it super easy to get in and out, never have to move my seat.

@@gogilgau Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the kind words, Just a bunch of fun clips stitched together of our flight to / From Oshkosh!

Wow, amazing kind words, appreciate it very much. Every time i fly the plane (now with my IFR, I am super spoiled) but i hand fly half my approaches to stay sharp but the autopilot makes me look bad!

Two blade Scimitar Hartzel. 3 blades does look better but slower cruise speed. I would rather be faster in the air than look faster parked on the apron
