Thank you. Please do more. Love the real time analysis and discussion of airmanship and technique (e.g., setting up approaches, use of flaps, Moose (?)stalls, etc.) Great stuff.
Your not an idiot Trent! Just a young man enjoying his youth. I really enjoy following your adventures, I hope to soon be joining you in the friendly skies. Watching you and Mike and the cowboys has inspired me to get in the air one way or another. God bless you Trent. J
Awsome camera work Trent! Really shows the capability of your Kitfox when landing on rough terrain. You make it look so easy to fly. Great job on the commentary. All your videos are kick ass!
@@flylikeagirl_1963 I was a pilot with the 126th Med Co., California, ARNG (Army National Guard) located at Mather AFB, S.E. of Sacramento, CA. This A.F. Base was one of many closed several years ago. I have sense retired from the "guard". I also flew UH-1 in Vietnam.
Wow, hadn't flown for almost 30 year's went back up a little while ago and yes, like a bicycle it mainly came back, all but the love for the old 152, I was heart broken and felt let down, twas something I loved so much, didn't hold me no more. I stumbled across your videos and the flying Cowboys and I literally up like a kid. I'm just gonna keep watching them all, and by the way, don't feel like no idiot, your a good pilot and ya would make a good instructor, you example what the beauty of flying is and can be. Thanks
Love these videos! I'm working through ground school right now on my way to my PPL. These videos remind of all the fun that can be had as a pilot. You keep me motivated to grind through this not so fun schooling so I can eventually get on your level.
This was very enjoyable to watch. I'm not a pilot but am a 44yr retired A&P mechanic. I have watched all of your vids and this was the best. Keep them coming!
Great stuff Trent,really enjoyed the trip out there landing amongst those wild animals,thank you for your time and trouble in bringing these vids to us and sharing your passion for bush flying.
Been living vicariously through your vids for a couple of weeks now, just had to sub. Loved this vid, loved the off field landings. Been geek for planes all my life, just not practical to do it. Thanks for the virtual ride-along!
I really like this one. Really shows how much practice it takes to do the sorts of stuff you do. Also, I couldn't help but laugh a little. You land on tiny patches of dirt over and over, no problem. Land on a giant strip of asphalt, and that's the landing that you struggle with.
Trent, thanks for the video, you brought back many memories. I worked in the Texas Panhandle in the 60's flying Cessna AG Wagons, and Piper Pawnee's and loved working out of dirt fields, when things were slow I would chase Antelopes. What fun !!
I just found your channel today so i have been watching a few of your videos. This was my favorite so far. I like the tutorial style. I'm not a pilot, and never will be, but i love aviation and learning all I can. Thank you.
Unless you have a medical issue preventing you from a PPL licence a sport licence is a waste of money. Can’t add ratings to the licence to do things like fly at night, severely limited on aircraft selection, and LSA aircraft are more expensive compared to what you can buy in the used general aviation market. General aviation aircraft essentially last forever when well maintained, any good plane you buy will generally not depreciate and could even appreciate over longer periods of ownership. Can’t go wrong with that. Maintenance and availability of parts is also another benefit of flying a more common airframe. Flying a Cessna or Piper you can almost be certain that whatever airport you land at for emergency repairs will have Cessna parts and a familiar mechanic.
Cool channel, not sure how I came across this but really like it. Not to mention you can fly.... you make it look so easy....which I am sure it is not. Must have have a lot of hours. The more I watch, the more I envy you’re life style. Thanks for sharing.
I grew up doing two things... Boats and airplanes. I first flew as a 4 year old on my father's lap in a rebuilt Aironca Champ. He handled rudder and throttle, I had the stick, and I got to do a loop and an Immelman. In 2000 I was signed up for ground school in Hillsboro OR, then I badly injured my back in August. By November I was forced to quite my career as a heavy construction carpenter, and flight training went out the window. Now, the only way I can get stick time is on Flight Sim X, and while the big fast planes are fun, I have discovered the joys of bush flying in small slow planes. I didn't know the flaps trick you are using was an actual technique, but I learned it by accident. I'd forgotten to put my flaps down until I'd already started rolling, so I put them down and popped off the ground like a cork! Lesson learned. I learned to fly taildragger on the Extra 300 spring gear. I could not get it to stop bouncing!! I spoke to my VERY good pilot father, learned from him, and from then on I do a full-stall... works every time. I don't have a big-wheel bush plane yet. I could buy the program for any number of them, but your videos have me looking at two. Yep... The Kitfox and the Wilga. Fly safe, and know you have a dedicated follower here. Thank you!
This was really cool. Gives a better idea of what back country flying w/b like. U have great pilot skills and confidence in them and your plane. Congrats.
“Gonna have someone from PETA commenting” lol Every video I watch makes me want a Kitfox more and more. So many places to fly here in NorCal. I’m right next to the buttes up here in Cali. Saw your video in red bluff. Awesome stuff brother!
15:20 loved the rear cam with thru the front windshield view on the approach and landing - would love to see more of that view much more often on approaches and landings.
God I wish there are flat surfaces where I live like these in your video... these bush planes are really fun. Cruising on 3000 ft from a to b is no joy at all.
This is how scales work. You have a 1/1 plane, that is full sized plane. A 1/7 is a plane six scales smaller then the full sized one. I love your videos man keep it up:)
Normal people: sends a very small and light piece of metal at high speeds towards animals You: flies a bloody plane at them God I love you and your plane. How often do you upload?
Great VID, you might really enjoy flying around my neck of the woods here in Idaho. Johnson creek, landmark airstrip, Bruce meadows, Sulpher creek, mackay bar airstrip. Your motivating me to want to get my pilots licence, and shop for a kitfox. Very Nice!!!!
Awesome video Trent, really helps me enjoy airplane experience when I'm not even on one, and I appreciate it especially since i want to fly airplanes when I get older, but since I can't right now i just fly rc, and also make foam planes which usually come out great, and I would send you some so you can keep as tiny replica's of your planes, but anyways thanks for the video man really appreciate it👍
Trent, According to all the info I've read, landing with your brakes locked will give you a longer stopping distance and worse directional control than having your wheels turning at a percentage of your ground speed, which is why cars have ABS systems. In quite a few videos, I've seen that your wheels are mostly stationary.
I know this is an older video. But I would like to see more of it, Especially after the modifications. I love watching you fly with friends. But I would like to see you do this again solo just to see how much better you've gotten as a pilot over the years and what's your planes capable of now.👍
Really enjoy the procedural or documentary video vs the artistic plane marketing video. Keep doing these sometimes. It helps understand what plane ownership is like
Thanks for the ride, enjoyed it. My parents live in South Central, very rural Kentucky and they are ate up with Coyotes, beside making one hell of a racket at night they've decimated the wild turkeys in the area. The land around them is heavily forested so no chasing coyotes with aircraft. P.S., I'd love to see a herd of Antelope at a full gallop, they are the second fastest animal on foot, first fastest when you consider they can keep it up far longer than a Cheetah can.
We were antelope hunting as a kid and we paced one at +60mph on a two track with a fence between us...from Wyoming USA 🔫🤠🇺🇸p.s stay safe and healthy everybody GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY
thanks great video. are you aware that you have a constant fuzzy tone on the audio. narration much appreciated it adds so much for the listener. even better is that you have resisted thetrend to put awful music all over the audio track. get rid of the noise, like a off station radio and you get 100% from me. as a disabled (1 spastic hand ) ex engineer I have long dreamed of building a kitfox, as a one handed pensioner that is not happening, so thanks for taking me for a ride. fly safe, cheers from New Zealand
Hi Trent, love your videos. Please listen to the wildlife comments. You would have to check the laws in that state but many states regulate against harassing wildlife regardless of being a game animal. Please be careful as authorities love to fine folks for those things like that, especially armed with video proof. Just looking out! Keep up the good flying vids!!
Trent! Love your videos! PLEASE tell me how you drag those 29s and wheels around the sky with a 912! I have a Kitfox IV 912 and desperately want to imitate your gear. What wheels are you using? What breaks? Thank you so much for your videos.
Trent I have been enjoying your video's all weekend once I came upon them. Are you using the Bose A20 headsets? I see the GoFundMe for Nick is well fueled, and I wish him the very best. Heck I'll come help build as an A&P, ATP for a ride.
There used to be guy that lived out in the back of Lemmon Valley that used to use one of the dirt streets with his Cessna's. I think one of them was a 310. The last time I saw him take off was in ~1977.
I actually enjoyed it....felt a little like i'm sitting there with you......the "nuts & bolts" of flying are interesting sometimes, wouldn't want them ALL the time, but once in a while seeing the realities of what it takes is worth watching. would ask maybe sometime do a vid of your "pre-flight walk around"..... Do you have to file flight plans and get weather briefings? would be interesting to see one of your pro-cams mounted up so you could get some really awesome views of wildlife and similar things....found your channel from Alex's blog on FliteTest and the trip he and Stephan did with you and the Flying Cowboys. would love to see some of really high def shots of the terrain you guys get into......places I'd love to somehow visit someday.....have you ever gone north with the FreedomFox? (like the Interior of Alaska...) or is it just not equipped for that kind of climate......
Trent, I absolutely love your show and can't wait to see the next one. And I hate to say anything because there is someone who always wants to bring someone else to task over something. However, I don't know about out where you live, but here in Oklahoma, there is a law against unnecessary harassment of wildlife, such as chasing pronghorns and deer and coyotes with an airplane. It may not be against the law in Idaho, but I would maybe call one of the local game wardens and find out before they catch you doing it. Thanks for the videos man. I hope I did not come across as a know it all about this. Just thinking about you. I might be wrong. If I am wrong, please don't tell my wife.
Hey Trent, I think you worry too much. I personally found this particular video to be a lot of fun to watch, it gave a real sense of the flight experience and how it feels to buzz round in the Kitfox. Also as a Vegan and PETA supporter... you merely annoyed these animals, like you said your not into shooting them... anyways.. Cheers!
Thank you. Please do more. Love the real time analysis and discussion of airmanship and technique (e.g., setting up approaches, use of flaps, Moose (?)stalls, etc.) Great stuff.

My kind of flying! Thanks. I used to chase coyotes while flying uh-1s for the Nat’l Guard in Calif... Brought back nice memories, thanks.
If I may ask, what fighter wing were you stationed at? Thanks
@@flylikeagirl_1963 I was a pilot with the 126th Med Co., California, ARNG (Army National Guard) located at Mather AFB, S.E. of Sacramento, CA. This A.F. Base was one of many closed several years ago. I have sense retired from the "guard". I also flew UH-1 in Vietnam.
@@rtkville Cool, thanks for telling me. By any chance, did you go at anytime to the 144th Fighter Wing in Fresno, Ca?
Wow, hadn't flown for almost 30 year's went back up a little while ago and yes, like a bicycle it mainly came back, all but the love for the old 152, I was heart broken and felt let down, twas something I loved so much, didn't hold me no more.

Thanks chuck!! Glad to hear you got back up in the air!
It’s not the coyote’s fault....
They coyote, that’s what they do.
They’re actually amazing creatures.
Great video
thanks for the ride.
Love these videos! I'm working through ground school right now on my way to my PPL. These videos remind of all the fun that can be had as a pilot. You keep me motivated to grind through this not so fun schooling so I can eventually get on your level.
This was very enjoyable to watch. I'm not a pilot but am a 44yr retired A&P mechanic. I have watched all of your vids and this was the best. Keep them coming!
This was one of the funnest videos I've seen so far. What a blast!
Just found your channel yesterday so, yeah I'm bingeing
Great stuff Trent,really enjoyed the trip out there landing amongst those wild animals,thank you for your time and trouble in bringing these vids to us and sharing your passion for bush flying.
The fox chases the coyote!
Been living vicariously through your vids for a couple of weeks now, just had to sub. Loved this vid, loved the off field landings. Been geek for planes all my life, just not practical to do it. Thanks for the virtual ride-along!
Awesome Bush work. The short landings & take offs give to many activities that this aircraft could provide.
I really like this one. Really shows how much practice it takes to do the sorts of stuff you do.
Also, I couldn't help but laugh a little. You land on tiny patches of dirt over and over, no problem. Land on a giant strip of asphalt, and that's the landing that you struggle with.
Trent, thanks for the video, you brought back many memories. I worked in the Texas Panhandle in the 60's flying Cessna AG Wagons, and Piper Pawnee's and loved working out of dirt fields, when things were slow I would chase Antelopes. What fun !!
6:01 how close was that tree?
I think this may be one of the best in-cockpit videos I have ever seen. To think that such a "simple" plane can provide such entertainment. Thanks!
I just found your channel today so i have been watching a few of your videos. This was my favorite so far. I like the tutorial style. I'm not a pilot, and never will be, but i love aviation and learning all I can. Thank you.
that was cool you are a good pilot !
Great video bud! Loved it. It makes me want a Kitfox!
I Like These Nuts and Bolts flights, I learned a lot
Thanks for showing off the capabilities of this plane and your great commentary. Can't wait to watch the next one!!
Been following your videos and this one shows a great induction to flying. The capability of landing gear and horsepower for take off is exciting.
Killer video. Switching up between this longer format and the more heavily edited VLOG format provides great variety for the viewers.
Good shit man
This makes me want to get a sport pilots license so bad! Great flying! Thanks for taking us along for the fun! Jim
me too

Best coyote chaser ever.

Must have have a lot of hours. The more I watch, the more I envy you’re life style. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks James!
Love seeing how this became your new style for youtube. Not many people make good content like this. Clear skies and calm winds ahead man!
Trent: Im gonna get someone from peta after me for chasing antilopes... Me: Instantly likes the video.
Peta bad, Steve Irwin good.
Wasn’t into planes in the past but after watch some of your vids I’m coming round looks like awesome fun
Great video for those of us who want to fly a taildragger and want to see how a Great pilot flys a Kitfox! Thank you Trent! Blue Skys

So much fun flying with you! ...got me looking at the Kitfox too.
I don’t know about everyone else, but I love watching full flight from roll out to back in the hangar. Do more!
The visibility in that thing is unreal
The irony of a remove before flight flag on the keys😂
Then you know it isn't stuck to something important.
I've seen "Insert Before Flight" key tags as well.
Great Vid Trent love all your others too. This one very informative, keep it up
That was awesome. Same stuff we use to do in the 140. Made me miss that a ton. Nice Flying..
Enjoyed the ride very much. Thank You! Video and all camera views were kind to my sensitivity to motion. I could watch everything, well done.
Trent,,,Yes I like anything you do because it's always very good!!!!!!!!
thanks for sharing all the videos. Your passion our passion
14:43 you can see ripples in the landing gear!!
Great vid as always Trent 😝👌🏼
Totally neat!!! Love the short capabilities!! Fat tire fun!
This was really cool. Gives a better idea of what back country flying w/b like. U have great pilot skills and confidence in them and your plane. Congrats.
Liked the video, Trent. Nice job man... thanks for sharing.
Very cool! Brings me back to my NOE days in helicopters
Thanks for the ride along Trent, I for one loved the video and hope to see more like it.
And of course........
*dance the Skies*
Congratulations, beautiful video, very well edited also. I fly with my Kitfox 5 in Quebec, Canada. I also like my plane. I speak french...
Dans quel coin du Québec tu restes Gaston? J'suis de Roxton Pond tu devais surment connaître Jean-Noël Turcotte si ça fais longtemps que tu vols.
I need to convert my Model 7 Kitfox back to a tail-dragger and get those tires... excellent video. Thanks!
Keep making them, I can watch them all day long!
“Gonna have someone from PETA commenting” lol Every video I watch makes me want a Kitfox more and more. So many places to fly here in NorCal. I’m right next to the buttes up here in Cali. Saw your video in red bluff. Awesome stuff brother!
You have definitely inspired me...I've never been up in a plane ...now I wanna fly
I like the engine backfeed noise .. reminds me of flying. Freedom fox is awesome!
15:20 loved the rear cam with thru the front windshield view on the approach and landing - would love to see more of that view much more often on approaches and landings.
The wildlife must love you, Trent. Haha..
Boy, adding that taxi camera REALLY helps!
God I wish there are flat surfaces where I live like these in your video... these bush planes are really fun. Cruising on 3000 ft from a to b is no joy at all.
"And I'm not one that shoots or hunt or anything, So I don't shoot them I just like chasing them with my plane" XD
Best words ever.
This is how scales work. You have a 1/1 plane, that is full sized plane.
A 1/7 is a plane six scales smaller then the full sized one. I love your videos man keep it up:)
Normal people: sends a very small and light piece of metal at high speeds towards animals
You: flies a bloody plane at them
God I love you and your plane. How often do you upload?
I’m trying to do one a week, but I’m pretty new to uploading regularly
Trent Palmer perfect. Imma sub
LOVE watching that rudder work
Awesome! That's what REAL flying was like before airports were built!
Great Ride.. Can't be too safe or cautious. The sudden stop is the downer!
Loved your video, thanks for taking us along.
Great video beautiful work is always. Keep them coming Trent you're an inspiration.
Great VID, you might really enjoy flying around my neck of the woods here in Idaho. Johnson creek, landmark airstrip, Bruce meadows, Sulpher creek, mackay bar airstrip. Your motivating me to want to get my pilots licence, and shop for a kitfox. Very Nice!!!!
Did you know Kitfox Aircraft is in Homedale, ID?
Nice to see a complete flight for once! 👍
This was cool! Beautiful plane!
Awesome! Need to dust off my private and do some bush flying. You inspire me.....thanks

Nice Vid. I fly a Mk3 in the UK. Jealous of the places you can land off airport.
You ROCK Mr Palmer, I do love your vids...
One of my favorite videos of yours
Hi Trent, love your videos. Please listen to the wildlife comments. You would have to check the laws in that state but many states regulate against harassing wildlife regardless of being a game animal. Please be careful as authorities love to fine folks for those things like that, especially armed with video proof. Just looking out! Keep up the good flying vids!!
Please do more like this. Very informative.
Trent!
Love your videos!
PLEASE tell me how you drag those 29s and wheels around the sky with a 912!
I have a Kitfox IV 912 and desperately want to imitate your gear. What wheels are you using? What breaks?
Thank you so much for your videos.
I too have a model 4 with a 912 and want to imitate those wheels on stock gear! What wheels and breaks?
Loved it Trent keep up the great work on your videos!
Trent I have been enjoying your video's all weekend once I came upon them. Are you using the Bose A20 headsets? I see the GoFundMe for Nick is well fueled, and I wish him the very best. Heck I'll come help build as an A&P, ATP for a ride.
All of your videos are great
Great video Trent!
That was a good way to kill an hour with a cup of joe waiting for the sun to come up. What fun.
Love your video's. Hoping to get a kitfox soon myself.
Great Video Trent. I hope to meet you and fly with you someday! I have KF-IV 912uls. Love your Freedom Fox!
Levi Noguess thanks, hope we get to fly together someday!
Yep...definitely live the play by flying...Thanks

Alaska is on the bucket list for sure!!!
You are the only pest in this vid Trent. Like the rest of your videos a lot!
