Great Video! Living and flying in Idaho is a great privilege which I enjoy very much. For those wanting to fly in for a visit to McCall, be aware that in light wind conditions, land Runway 34 and take off Runway 16 is recommended per airport facilities directory so look and listen for planes coming in from both north and south (not to mention we also have a variety of active Nordo planes, so keep your scan going).
Ex-Navy student aviator who quit during intermediate to go to med school here... Ty for the video! I'm planning on buying one of these soon.. looking forward to more of your videos
I know Mccall is at about 5000', so I assume the 8800' you mention is some pilot terminology, right? I would guess it the effective elevation based on the current weather? This is all new to me, so want to make sure my understanding is correct.
Yes you’re pretty much spot on. It’s the pressure altitude (5,000’) corrected for temperature & humidity. Hotter & more humid air is less dense then cold, dry air and a plane doesn’t perform nearly as well.
awesome plane ive always wanted to fly going to start ground school soon im obsessed with the glasiar 3 remakes by advanced aero components the G3 i will build one before its over
One note on your fueling ....When you put the ground wire back don't hold onto it. You'll know why when the wire has some splits in it and it goes by your hand leaving you bleeding. Don't ask me how I know this ;) Only took once for me
As you extend flaps further and further, yes, lift increases but so does drag. In the 737 we most often land with 30-40* of flaps but only takeoff at 5*. Lancair is similar….i land at 40* and takeoff at 10*
I learned to fly on a 8.500' altitude airport, that has around 120.000 takeofs per year, most of them training. Never saw anything insane about it though😂
Got to love that crosswind. 😜 I waved as you flew over, and yes, I used all my fingers. FYI it's pronounced Con nell. Othello has a 4000' runway.
Ahhhhh 🤟

Great information about McCall, thanks for sharing!

They’re awesome airplanes!
That take off was an exceptional experience.
Good times!
Beautiful skies
McCall is a beautiful spot!

The Bean needs to relax 🙂. Looks like a great time. 👍
Lol she’s not a fan of turbulence for sure!
Cold snacks and flying, always thought the FAA had a zero tolerance policy on that.
Guess times have changed.
It is a zero tolerance. I don’t have cold snacks when I fly. We were in McCall for a day and a half.
Luvit!!!
Can you show/telll us where the 4X-"speed button" is on the panel?
Haha!
🤣

I loved the Glasair when I was growing up!!!

Good tip!
Did you do a good lean before take off? I;m sure you did.
Not a single blink during take off :) That's concentration.
It kinda required my attention lol
I fly a Glasair iii.
20’ flaps for every take off.
Makes all the difference.

🤟👍✌️
P.S. Thank you for your service and your sacrifice 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks Rudy
@@JollyRogerAviation you're welcome.
No big deal, just a typical Summer day at MYL
I could tell the plane wasn’t super excited about getting airborne lol.
Is that your own airplane?
Yes it is, bought it last winter
What did you expect taking off with the DA of 8800' and NO FLAPS?!?
Look again. Flaps were at 10 as they should have been.
Did Bean punch you in the left eye?? Either that or you need some serious sleep!!
🤣🤟
Streamers is ok but The Narrows at Shore Lodge is for sure 5 stars.
I’ll have to try it!
Why hardly any flaps?
As you extend flaps further and further, yes, lift increases but so does drag. In the 737 we most often land with 30-40* of flaps but only takeoff at 5*. Lancair is similar….i land at 40* and takeoff at 10*
Why no flaps???
Pretty sure they were at 10*….which is hard to even see.

well look at you!
Well it’s new to me lol
