An introduction to the unique systems and flying ability of the beautiful de Havilland DH.85 Leopard Moth
What a fine aircraft. I like it.
Lovely plane 😍
Thank you so much for the explanation
Thanks
In instrumentation of any kind the saying “don’t chase the needle” is good advice. What makes you think that the instruments are precise? What makes you imagine that the fuel flow meter is precise? When heavy, hot, and high with a fixed pitch prop you will lean to highest RPM. Calculate that fuel burn at the next fill up- total gallons for the trip and gallons per hour. Experiment over time with lean of peak RPM. You may be surprised to find that peak RPM gallons per trip is similar to lean of peak RPM gallons per trip. The airspeed and time enroute change, yet gallons per trip are similar. So- when heavy, hot, and high- “Don’t Chase the Instrument” Yes, lean to engine stumble and back off a bit for powered descents. Milk that altitude! And trust your most precise instrument- your pocket calculator! Happy Flying! (1500 hour pilot that flies C172 over Wyoming mountains in the summer at 12,000 feet at max gross)
Great job on the panel. Congratulations for keeping a 1970’s paint scheme… the orange looks spectacular! Well done
Thank you so much 😀
That is a great book written by Mike Busch,I also speak to him from time to time. I would like to give you some more info on running LOP. Mike says NEVER use a lean assist on any engine monitor to go LOP. It takes no more than 3 seconds to be LOP from full rich and not to use EGT as a leaning reference as it is not an absolute temperature. Look up his leaning video on TH-cam called” Savvy Aviation, The Red Box”. Nice video keep up the good work.
If you don’t use EGT as a reference in discovering LOP, how are you supposed to find LOP? A&P/IA
@@user-nx6qr1mt6f lean the engine until you hear roughness then go back in rich just enough for the roughness to go away and you are LOP. Or lean until,you feel loss of power and you are LOP.
th-cam.com/video/msYJxkHg0Co/w-d-xo.html
Proper and safe LOP involves EGT readings
@@user-nx6qr1mt6f not according to the author of the book you said every pilot should read. Watch the video and you will hear how Mike says just the opposite.
Is there a helicopter version available? Could save me a fortune .......
A beautiful plane!!! Wow! Timeless.
I think so too!
I agree with you! I’m old school and prefer steam gauges as well. They have worked for fifty plus years so why go glass.
What a super clean aircraft. Just beautiful Mate!!!
It really is!
14:15 on initial observation looks like the throttle is the only non vernier type knob. You should not be twisting it to adjust the idle, all you would be doing is twisting the cable (which could look like a minor adjustment working)
Nicely explained! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Please subscribe if you can. Thanks, regards, Dan.
Excellent video Dan, you only talked enough to get Simon going and no music meant we could hear the engine.
Thanks so much.
Fantastic! greeting from Brazil! subscribed!
Welcome aboard!
This is the first I have heard about this plane, what an absolute beauty. It's sleek and stylish with a good climb rate and cruise speed. I'm impressed.
A great all rounder. Touring in style!
My friend had one of these until the engine quit on takeoff and crashed.
😧
wow great job! 👏👏
Thank you! Cheers!
One of the best video on leaning. Thank you
Glad you think so!
Danny, popped info on email as discussed. Thanks.
Thanks Allan.
Wonderful introduction to a design classic. Such attention to detail and ergonomics from the pilot's perspective, and maintained in wonderful condition. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you liked it!
Love the style of video with explanations . Even as a qualified pilot (only 2 months) it’s good to hear the reasoning.
Thanks Danny. Glad you are enjoying the channel and congratulations on passing your PPL. A world of fun and possibilities awaits you.
Ive just come across your channel, Dan. Great content with clear audio & commentary 👌
Hi Andy, welcome aboard! If you can 'Like' and 'Subscribe' it would really help me build my channel! Thanks so much. Regards, Dan.
Thank you again Dan for a really good "learning" flight. Much appreciated. Ray
Thanks Ray. Glad you enjoyed it! 👍
I think calling Turweston was unnecessary as you could have easily climbed to at least 3500ft way above the airfield with a traffic service from Brize - Turweston aren’t going to give you traffic for Finmere which is very close to Turweston, I would rather be high than low if you have an emergency
Hi TelecomsHelper, that would be good too. In my opinion VFR flight planning in the UK is as much an art as a science. There are many options to consider and airspace to navigate with multiple options of who to talk to, if at all! This is what makes VFR flying in the UK such fun and so rewarding. And that's before taking into account the weather, which can differ from forecast to actual quite significantly. There are so many ways of getting from A to B. I absolutely agree that being high rather than low is preferable. Cheers, Dan.
Hi Dan, that's a lovely 182 you have there and a nice video thanks. I like your use of graphics on the screen to illustrate the narrative. I can tell you're an instrument pilot, preferring to stay on QNH in the circuit, me too! Tell me, after leaning out there to lean of peak, what TAS do you achieve for your 38 l/hr? Keep up the good work, looking forward to the next one. As a fellow owner, would love to see more content on the joys (or otherwise) of ownership. 👏
Thanks Rupert. Leaned out to 38 l/hr I get around 127kt as a TAS. It's approx. 3 knots lower than the rich of peak speed. A very acceptable drop for the fuel saving and very kind to the engine too. I have done a complete video about leaning, maybe take a look at that. I'll take your suggestion and do a video on the joys of plane ownership (😳) soon. Regards.
@@ginclearaviation I’m in the lean of peak cruising camp too, as you say kinder on the engine and at today’s avgas prices I can happily live with the small drop in TAS.
Fantastic video, which is before long going to be very expensive for me as your videos are the reason I'll be getting back in the air at Sherburn-in-Elmet! Quick question - is it normal to remain on QNH when in the circuit? Haven't flown for many years but I seem to remember being told to always use QFE.
Well I'm glad I've inspired you to take to the air again! What price is joy? QFE can be set when the airfield is in sight, and it's a very easy and obvious setting to read height above airfield. If I had two altimeters I'd set QNH on one and QFE on the second, but currently only having one I decided to remain on QNH, which is sometimes preferred for an IMC flight, as once in the go around from an instrument approach you have to be on QNH. It's fun to do the mental maths!
Another good video Danny. A very good example of making non required informational radio calls and like you said in the video, very much appreciated by the radio controllers and others in the sky.
Thanks Allan, much appreciated.
Very interesting and nicely narrated. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
My dad owned a 1947 version, the Navion was nicknamed a poor mans P51.
Or a sensible mans P51.
Excellent stuff bro
Much appreciated!
Can you give an indication of cost for the avionics please?
Cost is a tricky question to answer due to the different avionics prices and fitting costs. It's best to get a current cost from an avionics shop.
@@ginclearaviation ok. Even a range. I’ve no idea if that’s £30k or £100k!
Less than $5000 here in the USA…Pacific_Coast_Avionics…Oregon did mine. A completely new aluminum panel…I mean 100% new with all Garmin..ex..3000 NXI…$100,000…with every penny…In Texas there is an interior shop…I think around Dallas will charge $40,000 for a new leather interior fit for royalty…a paint shop in Phoenix, Arizona will charge around $20,000 for a paint that will make national headlines…. So, ask yourself what’s important to you and your return on your investment and love of flying…3 blade controllable pitch prop is $10 to $15 grand…300 hp fuel injected IO-520-D ..Teledyne Continental with Gami Injectors will cost $50 grand …+/-…I did ALL this to my 1976 Cessna 182Q…I’m at break even on its upgrade cost and repair versus its resale value today..May, 2024…All the best from Mendocino County, California…KUKI MUNICIPAL AIRPORT…🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
One NAvion pilot to another...Simon is an excellent pilot... flying an excellent aircraft ! Mine's a 1949 A model E225. Simon's welcome to fly with me anytime...! Thank you for an excellent video ! 45TJ at LOO...California.
Thanks for the nice comments!
Couldn't agree more!
Thank you for an enjoyable video. I'm a retired pilot/ owner of the Nation. You brought back many nice memories.
Glad you enjoyed it!
So with rudder/ aleron coordination how do you do a slip as in like landing in a cross wind?
The rudder / aileron linkage is by a spring arrangement. But in a crossed control (slide slipping) situation, the springs are easily over-ridden. Best of both world!
So True...@@ginclearaviation
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Always thought I wanted a Chipmunk, but now I want this!
I don't blame you!
Beautiful project!
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful Navion! I have a 1948 with the same updraft cooling configuration and 205 hp E-185 engine. I noticed that Simon's Navion doesn't have cowl flaps -- mine also lacks cowl flaps although the POH insists they are present and should be closed during cruise. My plane also lacks a primer knob, so before starting the engine I use the electric fuel pump and sometimes the throttle to wet the carburetor. My POH specifies climbing at manifold pressure 25 or 26 and RPM 2280. I fly a lot in hot weather so sometimes the throttle and mixture settings must be adjusted to prevent engine overheating.
The Navion is such a beauty to fly. You are very lucky to own one. Enjoy every minute in the sky!
Extremely useful video! Thank you @Gin Clear Aviation and @Simon Tilling for showing this beautiful airplane! I cant wait to get it into Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Glad it was helpful!
And an amazing job you have done @HangarStudios713
I think de Havilland proved the truth of the old saying if it looks right it'll fly right. Everything after the DH53 Humming Bird looked and flew right with one exception - the four engined machine that looked like an overgrown Rapide the name and type number of which I can't remember. This is one beautifully kept machine. Love the use of Dzuse fasteners on the cowling, much better than having to undo a dozen screws like a modern light aircraft.
It sure does look and fly beautifully.
Beautiful airplane. I had a 47 model for seven yrs. Great flying plane.
Lucky man. They seem a good all rounder for travel, fun and short field ops.
Interesting 😊
It's great to see and learn about an unusual plane.
Never seen one before, reminds me of a Fiji or Piaggio.
They do seem to be rare. This is the only one I have seen too.
They're all over here in the US... Mine's in California... 45tj
Cool to see you two and that very nice Navion in a location we know. Thanks for sharing the ride-along.
Thanks Dave. Hope to see at Popham this summer!
Great looking plane and seems very advanced and streamlined for 1946
It sure is! Fab plane.
The "Texas patch" looka more like a pair or panties..
✈🛩🛫♥
Thanks, Dan!
Got to agree, Dan. Another great programme and excellent presentation by both you and Simon. All the best, Mike
Thanks Mike. So glad you like it!
Very nice video, lots of numbers to note for the simulator - unfortunately, no access to a real one.
Save your pennies and ask Santa next year. I'm sure you'll get one........
