Excellent debrief and very interesting. The secret to a long, healthy life is always be prepared, be resourceful and keep your cool like Paul does. You’re handling of this last incident reminds me of Mike Patey’s successful emergency landing in his super high performance Lancair Turbulence after his turbine engine grenaded while cruising around 25,000 ft with IMC below. You both are rock solid consummate pilots. And you both have methodical test pilot mind sets. Cautious not cavalier.
Hi Tom. Found you through one of Paul’s cousins. Absolutely and thoroughly enjoying these stories. Not a pilot myself, but a bush rat who loves aviation and survival stories. Love your content and I will be watching the skies to see you over my house next to CNY3!(Guess I won’t be seeing Paul’s Mustang for a while though!) Thanks for the entertainment!!!
I have a couple questions. #1. Is there a firewall fuel shut off? #2 How many holes are drilled into the firewall for the passage of controls, wiring and plumbing and weren't they sealed properly? #3 Isn't there a fresh air inlet to the cockpit? And is the inlet for that away from the fuselage far enough to not introduce any smoke from a fire originating in the engine compartment? #4. Is there room for a Lycoming engine where that V8 was? (An IO-720 would sound nice.) #5. Can the canopy slide back a bit in flight or does it hinge sideways? Were you afraid that would have been a mistake in this case? I'll echo others and tell you that it was a great story, and rivals the Lake on the frozen lake story.
This is more of a "Paul Question" but, unfortunately Paul is not a big TH-camr. In fact he is not a TH-camr at all as he is too busy flying. I will try to get some insights from him on these questions.
He sounds like what i say to people who love to talk to my Jack Jack when we are out at the park or store. They think its soo cool and yes i really do love and enjoy him. But I openly tell the people its difficult, hes really loud, takes a lot of time and maintenance No they probably dont want a cockatoo and they really dont make good pets.
I like listening to paul talk. Has a lot of knowledge and seems really chill. Great interview
Imagine seeing you here Ruby. Outstanding.
@@ModelAV8RChannelAdam fancy seeing you here. You have to check out "ta-1 first flight". What an airplane
What a Great Interview...... Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great video Tom, Paul is right, you just do what you have to do, no time for panic or be scared. Great job getting safe on the ground. 👌

Thanks for watching and for the kind words.
Top notch first class grade A presentation. I'm grateful ❤
Thanks for watching and for your kind words.
Another fantastic episode! Nice quality filming, and Paul is great quality content!
Thank you! Yes, perhaps I should rename the channel PaulAir...
I love the term “steward of the airplane” applies to all types of aircraft.
It is a good way to look at airplanes and pretty well all the things we own...
Pretty sure I drove by during the little while it was in the field near Edenvale. Glad to hear you were fine.
Great interview. So is the plane fixable?
Very interesting episode

What was the source of the smoke?
So it’s one of the other, is it a zz3 or a ls1? Can’t be both!
ZZ3 is not an LS

This interview is way too long. Lots of humble bragging in it.
I play interview videos at 1.25 speed and it seems just right. Easy to understand and engaged.
Never said what caused the smoke maybe I missed it kind of skipped around.
