Almost crash Monument Valley Apr 2019
I bodged my approach and landing at UT25 / Monument Valley which could so easily have ended in disaster... I had not given myself enough space to set myself up e.g. turned final too close to the runway, its a high altitude / low density strip and you have the added stress of a mountain cliff not far behind the runway, leaving little escape options... Needless to say, I didn;t try to land again..

Patrouille Suisse Photo Shoot Aug 2015
มุมมอง 6628 ปีที่แล้ว
In Aug 2015 I had the privilege to fly with Patrouille Suisse on an aerial photo-mission to complete my article on this Swiss Aerial Demonstration team. It was one of my vest photo-flights to date. Not only because of the weather and spectacular landscape, but also because of the excellent flying of the pilot of the camera plane and the rest of the team. This video gives a small impression of w...

Winter weather can be great for flying with low cloud and amazing light. Taken with a GoPro 3 mounted on one of the outrigger wheels.

    You might want to consider rolling at less than Va rather than more if you're using full aileron deflection(as evidenced by getting the aileron buffet that only comes on at full deflection). I've exchanged emails on this subject though, and they are happy for rolls above Va, with the proviso that low or no G is pulled during the roll. Apparently one of the the limiting factors of the airframe are that the wings don't handle the rolling forces well if there is G applied at the same time(I'm not saying you were doing this BTW).

  • @rianjohnson7484
    @rianjohnson7484 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good video! The “banging” is from vortices being shed from the leading edge of the aileron at full deflection. The design max deflection is very near that angle at which this phenomenon occurs. As a result on some RV’s you will feel a slight pulse in the stick.
