Never know what you’ll see flying around AK. I’ve found dead sea lions, dead whales, dead moose etc. I guess I see lots of dead stuff flying around.

Thanks. It’s been a while since I’ve played much. I have another channel with my brother (Robert Landis) where we used to post songs. Been a long time ago now.

@@Flying-Fishsticks Schneider with 8.50s. They have block off plates where you deflate the tire can make them “straight skis” kind of. They’re heavy and kind of shitty but they came with the plane and work well enough for what I do.

@@New2Me170B Oh cool! I’ve seen those around for cheap and wondered if I could run them on my 170. Seems like they are no longer supported and getting a new STC would be impossible.

@ field approval would likely be pretty easy.

@@Darthrocker06 intentionally ironic.

It was a blast putting my 6 year old’s sled to the test.

@@ALASKACROPCIRCLEUNIVERSITY one of my takeoffs at the Seldovia fly-in was 160’. I have a video of that posted I think. This takeoff was probably between 200-250’. But full fuel etc. and everything not taken out of the plane.

@@rickyjayster2586 a beer is running me down on that thing for sure. But I’ll have some lead injections for him.

@@gregwatruba4541 it has a step with grip tape on it.

@@gregwatruba4541 fried mostly.

Working on our Army Corp Permit.

@@5AcresandaMoose the Kachemak Bay park committee or whatever shutdown wheel planes landing on beaches in the park recently.

@@New2Me170B what?!😱 They just keep whittling…

@@5AcresandaMoose yeah. Super annoying. Homer politics drives me nuts.

@@New2Me170B I didn’t move back to Alaska in 2012 to live in city limits. A few years out East Hill was enough for me.

@@5AcresandaMoose I was born and raised there and kind of feel some ownership to try and make things better. But it’s a losing battle. We got the jetski ban reversed then they just reimplemented it a couple years later. Same with plastic bag ban.

@@5AcresandaMoose it ended up being a little over 62”.

@@New2Me170B outstanding!

@@5AcresandaMoose definitely not my biggest moose but biggest one with the plane. It barely fit.

@@RossLougheed no shit, I did it on purpose.

@@lonestarhog7407 mains and tailwheel touched at the exact same time. Regardless, thanks for the flight lesson.

@@New2Me170B The mains bounced and left the tailwheel grounded. Forcing the mains onto the runway and pushing the control stick forward to transfer the weight onto the wheels can result in a bounce or pilot-induced oscillations. Pilots must wait for the mains to touch before advancing the stick forward-and then, be patient while the aircraft decelerates before bringing the tail down.

@@lonestarhog7407 I know how to land. Haha. I wasn’t doing a wheel landing I was doing a three point landing as short as I could. Sometimes when I have better grip I hit the brakes hard enough that I hold the tail in the air. But once again, thanks for the lesson. Haha.

Only a fixed wing pilot I’m afraid.

@@ronrowe8168 I don’t know. That’s just the beach we landed on. We’ve gone to others since. Some of them nice and grassy some of them not.

I only post the good landings. Haha.

I can post a video like that at some point. I’ve thought about doing one for a while. I’ll need to clean it up a bit first. Haha.

Yeah. The 83” trailblazer helps too. It would be tight with a stock 170 and any weight. I had my whole family in there with our gear from our Talkeetna strip and about 1/2 tanks.

Were you in Seldovia the other day? I think I saw your plane there.

@@New2Me170B yes, I was there all week.

@@AlaskaBoys I’ve seen around. I went to your channel to see your plane and recognized the black rudder.

Great landing, super slow! Love it

Thanks. It was a pretty good one. They aren’t all that good.

Up the Kustutan River.

Random ocean gravel bar in Kachemak Bay just west of Glacier Spit.

I saw a Maule and a Zenith on a gravel bar decided to stop in and say hi and the owner of the Zenith filmed the landing.

Thanks. I think the beaches were picked clean of glass balls before got there. Maybe next time.

Depends on what the tides are doing, but I can a lot of the time.

Do you mean walk it before landing? I always fly over and check any off airport landing spot before landing. I’ve been on this beach numerous times and know where all the big rocks etc are.
