One of my all time favorites!😊
Enjoyed.
there was one near mont laurier Quebec canada twenty years ago , i felt in love whit it , but was not prepare enough to buy it . i still love this plane , i love the look , would be nice on float for bush plane.
Murphy rebel is a Canadian Cessna 150/150 Texas tail dragger with 10more horsepower and a few more additions.
Certainly tons better performance than the 150's I have flown. I have 160HP.
WOW ,😮 a true labor of love .
The trials of building. Shortly after this video dropped he was flying off the test hours when the engine let go. He landed safely and was involved in a new engine the last I heard from him.
There’s one for sale right now but man that fuel consumption is a deal breaker
Thirsty bird fo sho.
With it clearly being purpose built, the target market probably doesn't mind the tradeoff.
It is scary if you are in it with 4 people, jumped out of it a few times :)
I bet.
Do you have a sport pilot or private pilot license? I have living places walking distance from both 5d5 and VLL all I want to do is fly around the state especially between Detroit area and all northern lower Michigan. I don’t know where to find sport pilot training only programs for full private license. Do you think sport pilot is enough for what I described? Thank you!
I would go all the way to private pilot, less restrictive. When I began flying many years ago all I wanted was a private license so that I could fly around Michigan. Sport pilot rating did not exist. Once I got bit by the bug however, I wound up with MEI/ATP/ Citation rated. Has taken me all around the world!
@@TangoSierra2022 sounds great and I would if it wasn’t for the medical exam. I met a sport pilot at the woolsey memorial pancake breakfast fly in and he seemed ok with it.
That's a real nice plane,I would love to fly one 😊
You should!
Great video! I can see myself cracking the canopy with one small mistake! Canopy installation has got to be improved by Sonex! Not everyone has your set of skills.
Mostly trial and error on our part. I have seen that the canopy design has been improved on newer models. You are right, something had to change.

Billy Payne seems like an awesome person...
Indeed he is.
He's an awesome guy
Which prop are you running?
All about props in this short video. Enjoy. th-cam.com/video/sOi7WawKVx4/w-d-xo.html
Hello, are pop rivets mostly used for the entire airframe? Or are they only used for part of it. If so then what else is used?
The Onex is all pop rivets (aviation grade pulled rivets) unless you decide to change the way some things are designed to go together. For example, the tail cone on a Onex is totally inaccessible when built to the plans with pop rivets holding on the belly skin. If you need to get in there, you probably can't. We split that belly skin and installed nut plates on the lower longerons, then dimpled the skin and put it in place with flat head screws. if you need to get into it now you will have screws to remove. At least you won't have rivets to drill out in that instance.
@@TangoSierra2022 Ok, How long did it take you to build the plane?
@@gabeplays9441 couple years.
Not sure if you have seen the Aermacchi AM-3CM Bosbok which is similar. I will have mine flying in the US next summer. Also has a GSO 480 but 3 seats tandem.
Interesting. Where will it be next summer?
Hi captain t are you still flying your Murphy
Yup. Can't find more bang for the buck.
Beautiful island. Great cinematography…
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for another great Michigan adventure video. What brand and model of tent is that?
Eureka, Copper Canyon. Just right. I hate climbing in an out on my hands and knees and getting dressed laying down. This cured all that.
Captain, great video! I'm surprised you don't have your 4 legged friend with you. My wife and I were up there a few weeks ago and enjoyed hiking on the trails and beach.
Sometimes it is easier to have a trip if I don't have to worry about him. Prolly won't happen very often, I keep looking for him when I go without him!
I've been wanting to go back so many great times and memories on north fox
If it is empty it is especially soothing.
Nice thank you
Welcome
What an Awesome destination and the ‘comfort stop’ was destination-worthy as well.
Woolsey is worth the stop. I didn't check this trip but there are usually bikes in the building for a quick ride to some really gorgeous beach. Just a water stop this trip. Would be worth spending some time there camping.
I love your videos! Single solitude, just enjoying being alive and being in nature.
Yup, a really great place to soak your head a few days. The video covered three days. Just moving on to another three day stop elsewhere might have been a grand idea. Maybe Madeline Island or at least Pricket and Grooms. Thanks for the support.
Why would you ruin the sound of an aircraft engine with elevator music? 🤮
When you begin editing your own videos you will understand how it works.
Hey Captain T, quick question for you. When you changed propellers (fans 😂)was the diameter the same for both props? What is the diameter? Thx
The Catto is about 2" longer I believe.
Big difference Was the pitch change, Went from 48 to 52. Not quite as hot off the ground, but a small penalty for the ability to get some cruise numbers.
Great vent. Pleasure meeting you at TZV.
Great meeting you guys too. Great airport you have there.
Hi captain my is the same I usually add a little power on flare. Regards Frank
Doesn't seem to be as bad as it was since I added the Catto. Which prop are you running?
Capt "T", you are brilliant as the 'Brits would say. You can't have too much cool air in these hot summer days! Sorry I missed you on my return to FL from Osh. Maybe next time. Best Regards, Wayne
Hope all was well on the journey! No busted knees or anything?
@@TangoSierra2022 Thank you for your reply. All went well, just a few Interstate "parking lots" on the way south. I am busy EDITING! Hope all is well with you. Best Regards, Wayne
Really cool a/c that I only recently discovered. But PLEASE...do something about those shoulder harnesses. Great way to turn a survivable crash into permanent paralysis.
Airplane has since been sold. We can only hope the new owner upgrades.
Looking forward to more videos! Production quality is excellent. Enjoy the summer flying weather & I hope you decide to make a trip down to FL for some winter Mooney flying this year.
I hope so too!
That being a california prop will it tax horse power from more fortunate aircraft with larger engines and give it to you?
Prolly that and the funds will be diverted to pay for crack pipe vending machines!
Capt. "T", great to see you are back on your channel with another fine video. Your Murf got a nice boost from that new Catto prop. I am headed to AirVenture in a couple of weeks, how about a meet-up? Hope to see you there or perhaps at your place on my way home. Keep up your great videos. Best Regards, Wayne
OSH is still, dare I say it, up in the air.
it's not called a fan, it's called a propeller.
Air screw.
enjoyed
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Thanks. How is the RV project going?
RV project got sold. Too much life in the way at my age to start another whole airplane project.
Glad your back !!! Haven’t seen a video from ya in a while !!! I was thinking the mighty TH-cam was throttling you videos back !!! Anyways good to see you and Murphy up and flying !!!
All good, life just got out of control for a while. Working back into the fold slowly. Thanks for watching.
Thanks
No problem
Hi captain T. Oshkosh? I'll be there. Liked your video on your new fan you installed very interesting
@@frankdavey7125 Jury is still out on Oshkosh.
Good to see you. It has been a minute.
Yeah, life events took all the "want to" out of flying for a while. Should be good to go for a while now.
Hi Capt. "T" I appreciate this video especially when it is 98 degrees here in Florida. Please send some cold air this way if you can 🙂 Hope all is well with you. Best Regards, Wayne
Will do, or come and get some.
Super cool! looks great. Engine sounds healthy too, I bet it'll move that little airplane right along.
It's cool enough alright and it was flying the last I knew.
Flew it in army
Which army?
Do you still have the onex?
Been gone for some time now.
My dad had a Swift in the 1950's. It had the blue plexiglass rear window. I don't recall the horsepower. He was an airline captain and owned the Swift in partnership with another pilot. I started logging training hours when I was 13 in 1958, but my dad passed away just two years later and I didn't pursue flying after that. I have searched for the serial number but have not found it : N3287K. Anyone who can help in that regard I would appreciate it as I have long wondered what became of it.
Great, Great video. The info you provided was very informative. Would a used STOL aircraft be better for 1st time buyers or try and build one? The whole project would be a learning experience. Thanks, Danny Stockdaile USAF, Retired
It depends on your background. If you are mechanical and have an interest in airplanes then building is a great way to know your airplane. If you are simply interested in flying and don't get a kick out of flying then just tackling the learning curve on flying may be enough for you. Either program, learning to fly or building an airplane of your own will likely take a couple years . . . unless you hook up with someone like Billy Payne at Plane Fun Aircraft who can assist you in building a Just aircraft and cut your build time substantially. When you weigh out the alternatives, Billy's assist program is pretty cheap.
Hey Capt. My name is Danny Stockdaile, Retired USAF, would like to know what is the least dollars it would cost me to get license to fly a STOL aircraft.
I do not have an answer for you. Flight training programs vary widely. If you are interested in learning STOL techniques I would again say you should probably contact Billy Payne in NC. He does STOL specific training. This would allow you to become familiar with basic flying techniques and requirements as well as becoming familiar with taildragger and off field operations.
Enjoyed
Thanks for watching.
Hi captain T. Hope all is well with you and yours. Got my ski's on waiting for the whether .merry Christmas best regards Frank
Lord knows we had plenty of snow over the holiday! Ski flying is one of a pilot's greatest pleasures.
I'm a bit late finding the video. In the early 80s I was going to college at TN Wesleyan College in Athens and flew out of McMinn County. Nancy Dailey was my primary flight instructor (there is a memorial dedicated to her at the airport now). Great lady and instructor. I spent a lot of time at the airport and ended up helping Nancy's mechanic Eric Graves tear down engines and prep airframe for paint. Ended up spending a lot of time with Charlie Nelson and got some rides with him in his 210 hp Swift and the Buckaroo. Biggest thrill is when he let me take the stick and do some rolls in the way to McGee Tyson. Charlie was also a great man and would help anyone. Such great memories.
Thanks for sharing. Always like to hear stories about the community that all of us flyers belong to. It's a small world. The "brotherhood" lives on.
Amazing summer flying. makes me miss it
Many thanks.
Do I need to make an appointment to come by? I'm about an hour away. Full LE slats? Nice. Did I see an oleo gear too? Lovin' it. Smoky Mountains ain't the most forgiving places to fly or land in the world.
Recommend you contact Billy prior to dropping in . . . he's a busy guy!
