My man, holy cow, your energy is awesome! Taking the stumbles with stride and sharing is a breath of fresh air. Safe travels and keep the videos coming, you have a new sub for sure!
Yup, the darn things always seem heaviest at the beginning of warmer weather. You aint the only one who's run themselves into the ground. Kinda fun to slide it out, but not so great on the gear and the pant knees. Holy crap thats a LOT of runnin'. Thanks for the vid, glad you got it in the air!
I feel your pain! Look at my last flying video. I never pulled any brake. I ran like hell, maybe going 14mph, and lifted my legs and just settled to the ground. Cost me half a prop. I'm in South Carolina so I don't really think of flying seasons. If it's cold I just put on more clothes. The cold doesn't bother me (I just let it go, let it go...), my main problem has been finding off days with good winds.
I understand your excitement and singing for the love of flying. It is so fun, especially after a dry spell. Yes, long run for launch, you had enough brakes too. My guess it was related to high density altitude.
We didn't really even HAVE a winter here in SC. Not the first snowflake or ice storm. I built a fire in the fireplace twice. It was crazy. I flew Christmas Eve, Mid January, and February without really being cold, except for my hands.
From the video you looked like you were leaning forward a little. Try a little lean back just before lift off. it sure helps me get off the ground easier. When you get old, like me, you head to Florida and fly with a bunch of old guys all winter.
@@shanesplanetshane3795”expensive bed sheet” lol. So accurate. I imagine a kid thinking of jumping off the roof with a bedsheet trying to fly. That basically what we are doing.
@@rule1dontgosplat We used to run to an open spot in Kansas with a tarp (age9) when we heard tornado sirens... This setup I have now, works a little better.

So glad to have you back! It’s Scary season again!
Thanks ... its definitely gonna be a scary season if I keep having launches like that lol 😆
I still love that intro! The music reminds me of a 90s sitcom theme haha.
Lol :)
🎉 Yay Barts back on TV!
Lol is that really a good thing lol :)
We are so blessed to be able to participate in this sport.
Yes indeed ;)
Glad to see you back in the air!
Thank you, it's good to be back ;)
Nice job. You almost had that first launch. Glad there were no injuries. Fly safe!
Thank you you too
I always say that " I don't remember it being that heavy" 🤣
And it gets heavier every year right lol ;)
Thanks for sharing Bart. I haven’t flown since December we will see how it goes on top of that with a new machine liked and subscribed.
Congratulations on the new machine... im sure your launch will be better than mine... good luck and safe flights my friend , thank you for the sub ;)

I'm jealous of you guys that fly all year long , I hate flying in the cold :( below 45 degrees I don't go lol ill check your vid thx for watching
That first flight of the season is always a bit spicy 😂 now you got the rust and dust off 😎🪂
Lol yup I shook it off the hard way lol 😆

Lol flying just brings out the joy in me .... thanks for riding along :)
2024 baby!! My day is right around the corner. Your launch was awesome…. The top just got a little ahead of the bottom😂😂😂
Lol the top gets ahead of the bottom alot now days at my age lol 😆
Need to swing up there and fly with you guys. Plus to drop off them batteries too
Your welcome anytime brother, no rush on the batteries
Hello sir. I've been seeing you and others flying around me on gaggle. I'm between Logansport and Kokomo.
Not too far away , maybe we can share some sky time together soon ?
Oh and…. My first winter where I decided I like being warm when I fly 🙂
Lol I totally understand that 😅
I fly all winter here in west Tennessee.
I guess ya never get rusty when you fly all year round... im jealous ;)

So good....
I agree that save you had when the engine stalled was epic buddy 👌

Thank you , I agree I was definitely too far forward and no lean back on that first launch :(
welp - that's why we start the season on a grass LZ. 😆😆 Glad you got 'er figured out
Lol for sure... grass tastes better than asphalt lol ;)
dang right. I have only flown from grass, and if grass is available I'll do that.
@@BartBerry Easier on that expensive bed sheet we carry, too!

Yay ! More like this one !!
Uh no... I don't like being on my face on launch lol ;) just kidding the rest of the flight was a blast , thanks for riding along :)
I flew all winter in Indiana.
Lol you want it more than me ;)
I know the feeling
Lol ;)
