FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.

Awesome video. You may not realize how great your content is because you're so close to it, but you put out some of the best content on TH-cam.
It's super easy to critique sitting and watching the video but actually doing it is really confusing and everyone needs to practice and figure it out. Very difficult stuff and I thought you did an excellent job for your first time in a new airplane. You’re killing it.
Hi Flight Chops, I popped in a few times on your blog, and mentioned all the Stearman time I had. I see you're getting serious about flying. I did airobatics in my Stearman only as far as it would fly upside down, until it ran out of fuel. The inverted spin is nothing like the Pitts, you couldn't hold the stick far enough forward, because it wanted to through you out of the cockpit. I had to roll it inverted, kick rudder and put my other foot on the stick and push, while holding the side tubing. It was more like a gyration than a spin. Have fun, but be safe and always check around for any other planes. Bob
These videos are really making me want to renew my license. I originally learned at Harv's back in 1978, and will most definitely go back to renew. Thanks for the inspiration.
I almost barfed watching. Nice flying!
I saw this plane flying over my place quite a bit as I live in the practice area where they do there training and aerobatics. Pretty cool to see something close to home.
Yo chops
Thanks for taking us along for a ride in the Pitts, looking forward to the Landing episode!
i want to become a pilot one day, you inspire me, thx!
Too cool! Can't wait for more of this series.
Really brings back the memories when I was up with him in the same Pitts.
Years ago, when 'Tricky Dick' was earning his moniker, I flew a Decathlon crosscountry for several hours to Phoenix. Navigation was easy: I simply followed Interstate 10 from Palm Springs…through the skylight. (The plane had been modified with a Christensen inverted oil system and temporary inverted fuel system.) Regrettably, there were no GoPros available then, and my camera plane lost sight of my plane not long after rolling inverted, so I don't have much to show for the effort.
Awesome. Wow, I feel like I'm ready for a day in a Pitts! Thanks - great job!
Best video yet. I LOVE the Pitts and have always wanted to take some dual in one. (I've got about 2 hours of aerobatic dual in a Cessna 152 Aerobat, heh). This was the next best thing!
Love it! For me the nausea comes when stoping the aerobatics and flying straight and level... funnest flying I’ve ever done!!
Watch many of your videos, they are great. I started doing Acro a few years ago myself. I remember the barfing feeling after about 15 minutes when I first started…….that was my limit. Now it’s seems so much easier.
Amazing video as always. Very educational yet entertaining to the very end.
Luke sounds like a good instructor, I’d like to fly with him so I googled Harvsairinverted, looks like the Pitts is gone and they are using the Extra 300L now. Getting up to Steinbach to get some inverted spin training is now on my bucket list!
My time learning in the S2B was some of the most fun I've ever had in an airplane. Thanks for this amazing video FlightChops!
I don't understand what kind of people thumbs-down these videos. They are always so good.
