You got my Subscription! Great channel

Now I'm going to look for the spin training video!

Climb sluggish with just one person.

Very well spoken ❤

Thanks for the info David. Nice control of you plane too.

Wow very nice flying airplane! Handling looks really inert. Quite the machine. Thanks for the great video!

When you are telling him to stay in trim are you referring to staying coordinated?

I'll be the jerk. Watching the video we learn the pilot has immense experience with airplanes and military helicopters, though he had ZERO time in this model and they didn't do a walk around or familiarization checklist before takeoff, at least it wasn't mentioned or recorded, just another undocumented fly by the seat of your pant's excursion. The pilot didn't recognize the trim settings and had to be reminded to raise the flaps as he was clearly having trouble climbing well after takeoff. Flying is a great pastime, but I hate to be the bearer of bad news, this is one of the reasons GA as a whole, but typically sport/light sport experimentals crash with so many fatalities. Some pilots just slack off and get lazy thinking they can easily rely on knowledge/experience to aviate, navigate and communicate themselves back to the ground when the unexpected happens. Nothing beats understanding your craft before takeoff. It isn't "sissyfied" to understand or inquire about lessor complex aircraft before opening the cabin door.

Is that air speed in knots or MPH?

Put the rotax 915is in the Stream.

Hi from the UK. what a cool video. I have a carbon sting s4. dream of living on an airpark. sadly, we don't have then in the UK. Thanks for sharing.

Yes very strong airplane so my dad actually landed his a tail dragger in a tree. Yes he was about 50 ft up. That plane is so strong all it broke was the propeller wooden prop. All he needed was a crane to get his airplane out of the tree. He hit the last tree before the runway dead stick. He had that happen two times. One time he landed on a sawgrass expressway. Each time it was little fiberglass particles clogging up the fuel filter.

TL or Shark? Which one you prefer?

Better results with an orbital polisher and safer.

Great info. I am looking at a Glassair 2 RG. with a 200hp IO360. What is the difference in these two?

What are you ft per min during this stall? I’d love to see someone fly this down thousands of feet in a stall.

How do you like the DC 1x headsets?

Dave, I just bought a hanger at frostproof Florida. I own a glasair 1rg. I like to meet you sometime.

This video is a very informative, practical and real life example. I don't know why this video is not widely viewed and shared especially the student pilots or the rusty pilots. I am highly grateful for your work.

Of all the flying videos I’ve seen, no one uses checklists. Not good guys.

Seems to have some vibrations noted from cam on tail and in cockpit.... Any idea why?

While training for my PPL, we practiced stall recovery... ALLOT. I REALLY hated to do this exercise. It felt unnatural to push the plane into a condition it didn't like. Each session mandated after the flight I find the neared liquor store and buy myself some pick-me-up!

glad i found this channel today.

Nice video.

Turn background music off when folks are talking... Y hack you for your hardwork.

You need a buffer !

Yes! I've had to contend with that "free castering" nose wheel many times! NOT my favorite thing. I've always preferred to have a steerable nose wheel. But, you can't always "Have the cake and eat it too!"

Currently in an E model Mooney and building a Glasair IIft (the early short body). Loved the video, thanks for sharing!

I’m negotiating on a 6A. I’d like to see a video with downwind, base and final with power settings.

I enjoyed Titan Tornado 2 ownership for several years. Fast, comfortable (for the pilot), fantastic view, but very noisy. A lot of bang for buck.

Nice training. Picked up on your mil background. 67T on 60’s from 88-93. RV driving almost 12 yrs.

A wonderful video, Dave. Best explanation of why aileron input makes a spin WORSE that I've ever seen -- also your advice that 'you haven't lost control' just because you've lost roll control is a WONDERFUL idea to pound into pilot's heads. I learned a lot -- and would love a chance to get in a plane with you and practice these techniques in my plane. Congrats.

Quick question, on the glasair 1 the Pooh doesn’t say anything about vfr only under operating limitations? Curious as I’m on the hunt for a 1ft and wanna make it ifr.

Appears to be a very civilised machine. Good video, nicely presented. Some information on operating costs would have been appreciated.

Really enjoyed expanding my envelope with my RV6 took a bit to be comfortable with 2G steep turns at first, now I need to dial it back for passengers who are not quite used to the performance the RV has. great video!

Hey Dave, great video. I'm just down the road in Leesburg, how can I reach out to you? Just had some questions, thank you.

So is this an lsa experamental where does this fit in

Awesome 😎

I read somewhere that it helps if you actually look out while doing clearing turns ;P Check the app, then activelly look out =P Trolling a bit here with that. You were showing the plane and did a GREAT job at that. Hooked me when speaking about side loads on the gear. That said, complacency is a witch (starting with a different consonant and all that).

Excellent instruction, simple and succinct.

Going to SNF 2023. Maybe I'll see you there... www.youtube.com/@CockpitScenes/videos

Great review. It would be interesting to know the speeds you experienced while going through your stall sequences.

This was my introduction to your channel. As an owner of a Skystar Pulsar III with 120hp, Glasair and Lancair are my cool, tough big brothers.

Thank you for this.

Fantastic little plane. I always think of it as the ultralight Mooney! Nice video....thanks.

Excellent video - many thanks!👍

Great video, love the thoroughness of all the flying characteristics. It really does seem like a great all around airplane. STOL capabilities with 155mph cruise is phenomenal. I was considering a Bearhawk as they can fly fast and slow well but I'm not sure I like the idea of fabric. That being said the bearhawk 2 seat companion has about 400lbs more of useful load, you can add floats, and they say it's possible for a third seat. Decisions Decisions!

Just came across your video and only to your takeoff/upwind. I really appreciate your verbalization of your checklists! Keeps us all in the game instead of just watching someone fly.

Such a beautiful aircraft

I also have a G1-RG I built myself and do have the extended wing tips with extra fuel. Mine also has the dual sliding canopies for the AC benefits in summer, no regrets not doing gull wings instead. I use 100 mph on final. I am 6'3.5" tall I had to mount the rudder pedals as far forward as possible and still maintain the full range of motion, mounted the seat back and seat pans as far back as possible without cutting into the rear spar and reclined the seat back slightly more than normal. All done because of my height. My engine is an IO360-C1D6 with counterweighted crank, no rpm restrictions. 10:1 pistons flowed ported and cam modified, 245 HP at 2700 rpm. Also 1 electronic ignition from Light speed engineering. Also a Whirlwind CS 3 blade prop. I flight plan 185 kts at 2450 rpm at 10,500 - 12,500 burning about 8.5 gph ROP or 7.9 LOP. I carry about 60 gallons max. Including tips, header and main tanks.
