  • I took a friend to the beach and landed my plane on it. What he didn't realize is that this trip to the beach involved flying through rugged mountains, across stunning glaciers, over the pacific ocean, and amongst dozens of islands scattered along beautiful British Columbia's west coast. The journey was well worth it.

    How, I miss my RV6-A. It's already been 14 years since I had to give it up because of health issues, but I still feel grateful for having had the opportunity to build it and fly it. Not many can say that. What a great little airplane.

      I really want an RV but can't sell my wife spending 100k plus an airplane. I have seen a few RV-6s for 50k range used not sure if that is a low price or not.

    Nice! You expect these kinds of things from bush planes, but great to see common aircraft can land in exotic places as well. Not trying it any time soon, though! :D

    It's a small world when I am just watching a random RV-6 video and happen to see the exact RV-6 I am looking at as a possible candidate to buy show up on the screen around 3:10! I was like, wow that plane with the orange stripe has a striking resemblance to C-FYQS - oh wait haha, it is C-FYQS.

  • @benhumphrey9938

    Amazing scenery and editing. For newer pilots learning like myself, how do you manage safety to just land on a beach without potentially running into people-or is this so remote no one would be there? Any laws and safety protocols would be helpful to know.

    • @AerobaticAviator
      @AerobaticAviator  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There were actually several glaciers, all located roughly in the Squamish area of southern coastal BC.

    I wouldn't land on a salt covered beach with a plane unless it was an emergency (or not my plane). I've seen what salt spray does to an aluminum boat and the idea of exposing an aircraft to that is horrific.

    Who makes that baggage compartment cover?
    Also, do you have a jettison canopy?

    • @AerobaticAviator
      @AerobaticAviator  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The interior (including baggage cover) is from Classic Aero Designs. No ejection canopy.

    Just a heads up to all the pilots flying low around scenery. Tune in FSS 255.4 and make sure not jets are doing low level training.

    • @AerobaticAviator
      @AerobaticAviator  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Do you know if this is applicable in Canada, I assume this is US only? Good information to know when I’m in the US though with so many military zones south of the border.

    How many camera mounts did you use? I don’t see the camera mounted on a gimbal for those steep turns

    So awesome! What is your approach speed and how short can you land your RV?

    • @AerobaticAviator
      @AerobaticAviator  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'm about 85 mph on short final, slowing down more in the flare. I'm not sure the actual stopping distance.

    • @akromafia
      @akromafia 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm short final in an RV8 at 75kt and 70kt over the fence. I can land to a full stop in about 650m of smooth tarmac. Shorter on grass.

    Hello
    I'm interested in the purchase of a v6. Can we get in touch. I have some general questions I'd like to ask. Marek Gomolka

  • @JoeCnNd
    @JoeCnNd 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    does the rv6 have removable wings? I mean easily removable like the 12?

    • @AerobaticAviator
      @AerobaticAviator  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Although I have never removed the wings, I would think it is not an easy task, nor would they be considered "removable".

    • @dodgeplow

  • @kenthigginbotham2754
    @kenthigginbotham2754 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hoping to find your opinion on the biggest differences between the RV6 and RV7 from an owners standpoint?
    Any thought appreciated!

    • @AerobaticAviator
      @AerobaticAviator  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I don't think there's a ton of differences. The RV-6 has a smaller tail and shorter wingspan, but the 2 models are quite similar.

    • @kenthigginbotham2754
      @kenthigginbotham2754 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for taking the time! Love the videos and I am hoping I have an RV6 in my future!

    • @robstoddard9521
      @robstoddard9521 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The RV-6 is aerobatic within a smaller weight-range than the RV7. For my weight, about 220 lbs, I don't get to carry much more than about a gallon and a half of fuel if I want to do aerobatics and be within limits in an RV-6. An RV-7 is generous enough that I can actually fuel up the plane and possibly carry a small passenger.
