Taming the Dr. Killer "Wobblin' Goblin" in Bravo Airspace

- Take a ride in a classic V-Tail Bonanza into Houston Class B airspace on a beautiful springtime morning. Navigating some of the busiest airspace in the country isn't too bad while everyone is sheltering in place. Lot's of small airplanes flying everywhere though. Landing in Houston with a gusty and heavy crosswind makes for an exciting trip.

Back in '77 I installed an "Air-skeg" double ventral fin on the fuselage bottom of the V tail. It significantly reduced the wag. 👍😎
The simple way to stop the wobble is to rest your right foot on the right rudder pedal. This was one of the first things they taught me when I went to work in the public relations department as a writer for Beech Aircraft in Wichita. The term "Dr. Killer" is rooted in a real reason . . . doctors buy these sleek planes, get IRF rated, and then get so busy they don't fly enough to stay proficient. Thinking they still "know how to do it," they load up the family and fly off into the gloom. Many never return. And they take their families with them. The aircraft has nothing to do with their lack of proficiency. It caused by their failure to stay current wit their rating.
That one foot technique helps but when you are in a gusty crosswind like on this flight nothing will prevent it but a yaw dampener.wi help tremendously.
I read something years ago that was basically a pseudo-study that controlled for all sorts of variables, and the significant finding was that it was surgeons in particular who were dying. The conclusion, perhaps unscientific, was that the same Type A bravado that enables them to cut people open was also getting them killed when they found themselves in high-workload IMC and lacked the proficiency to get through it. Neither surgery nor IFR flying requires genius levels of intelligence, but they both require lots and lots of practice and training.
Just leave both feet on the pedals, that stops 90% of it.
@@johnmajane3731 Why go for 90% when you can have 100% with the right foot resting gently on the right rudder?
@@dickbudig6693 even the yaw dampener will not take care of all of it.
This was one of the best videos of this type I have seen. Excellent airmanship and process. Camera views were nicely done and the notations were really helpful.
Thanks Gordon, I am grateful for your kind words and I am glad you enjoyed the video.
I love how as the video progresses, the Pilot gradually goes from laid back to on his game at the end. A masterpiece of a Vid…cool music 🙏
Thank you for the kind words Andrew....welcome aboard!
Thanks for all your videos.I have enjoyed and learned from them all!!
steve Irons , it is my pleasure my friend!
I have owned 5 Bonanas: 35, C35, G35, J35 and P35, for a total of 5,000 hours in type. For me it is the best GA aircraft ever. On long cross countries it is comfortable. You can stretch out and your feet and legs aren’t in a tunnel.
Bob, I agree completely and I would add that it is a very economical way to fly.
Thanks my friend for sharing your trips 🇲🇽😊🇺🇸✈️
Thanks for watching and for subscribing!
LOL!! "WOBBLIN GOBLIN" I love it!! She sure does like to wave at people! Had the chance to buy one once and passed on it. Sure wish I wouldn't have. Loved the video! Awesome job!
Thanks for watching, your comments are appreciated
The Bonanza was the first private aircraft I got to take the controls of. Great memory!!
Thanks for watching, I am glad I could help you reconnect with a fond memory!
I own a v Tail too and it's absolutely a pleasure to fly. Nice video mate 👍 👌
Thanks for watching and for the support!
I just flew through the Memphis Bravo, enroute M01 which would have me in the inner ring from my direction of flight. I too had been receiving flight following and talking to Approach. They kept dropping me 500’ below each shelf, so I assumed they wanted to keep me out. As I approached the inner ring (and not wanting to taxi the remaining 6 miles) I literally had to ask. “Memphis approach, confirm Skyhawk XYZ is cleared into the Bravo?” He answered me with a “Skyhawk XYZ, affirmative… you are cleared into the Bravo!” As if to say “Dude… I know where you’re heading, and it’s RIGHT THROUGH THE INNER RING… Did you think you weren’t?” He was so nonchalant about it I felt silly for asking, LOL. 🤷🏼
Hi Dale and thanks for your great video i come to you from Microsoft flight sim where i fly the V-Tail Bonanza in the sim its so nice to see how it is really done and take your excellent airmanship on board what a great airplane to fly , i am an ex-pilot and this keep my interest in aviation going , thanks again and safe skies .
Mac, what a wonderful thing to hear you say. I actually began my interest in flying on MFS back in the early 80s! I'm glad you enjoy what I have to share.
@@jonathanparle8429 Thanks for watching, if you're ever in central Texas, come take a ride.
The woblin goblin! 😅😅😅 Nice flight! I don’t get to see too many v tails flying! Thanks for the video.
Russ, thanks for watching
This is awesome. Thank you for sharing sir
And thank you for watching
My dad was a doctor and a lot of his friends owned V tails back in the day. The only ones who crashed were 1) non doctor dive bombing semi trucks on an interstate and 2) doctor kamikaze in to ex wife's house. We knew 2 families wiped out in brand new twins with low time pilots. One business owner forgot to fuel a brand new Baron before a winter night flight over the mountains. The other was a doctor who'd worked all day starting with early morning surgeries followed by an evening flight to a family event in his brand new Cheyenne. They crashed late that night taking off while returning home. The probable cause listed fatigue and distraction caused by the dogs. Those were all devastating personal losses but the planes weren't the problem. My mom told my dad to get rid of that "thing" and he complied. A few years later he drove me down to the airport for my first lesson when I was 12. 😎
Thanks for sharing your experience, sounds like a great dad. My dad lost a brother in 1942 (who was the engineer) in a B26 Marauder, another airplane with a bad reputation and a glorious performance record. High performance machines can be dangerous, this is a fact of life. They are not very forgiving to those who can be careless
Great camera placement! I've never seen the famous v-tail wobble before. One of the stories I've heard about the doctor killer is that the tail wobbles so much near never-exceed speed that it can snap off. An early AD to strengthen the tail probably saved many doctors.
Its my understanding that most of the accidents came from inadvertently entering IMC which almost always ends in a rapid downward spiral, when they came out of the clouds at VNE and pulled up as hard as they could....the rest is history.
.
@@MrDucatizombie in that position, so far above trim speed, the nose would naturally come up soon as you leveled the wings. You’d have to push to keep the g force under control and not damage the airframe.
Really enjoyed your video and the radio work.
Thanks for the kind words and for watching. I really appreciate it!
Great vid. Really loved the four panel GoPro array display during approach/landing. That trippy flute music audio overlay is a nice touch. 😜
Thanks Ray, I appreciate the supportive comments, especially about my music....not everyone likes it but i enjoy creating it. I bought that flute from some Indian craftsmen in Santa fe.
Wow.....what a beautiful Dr.Killer.
Thanks for watching!!!
I've had bumpy air even move the tail around a bunch even on a 36 with it's conventional layout. Love the Bonanza in all it's iterations.
Well I will be the first to admit it's worse on the V-tail.
Thanks for the excellent video. After 43 years of not flying, it made me home sick to get behind the controls.
Mike, come on down to Texas and take a ride!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Chris, thanks for watching!
My first question is … Are you a Doctor?” You are a damn good cinematographer and a careful pilot, so I’m sure mastering medicine would be in scope for you
Superb classic Bonanza V-tail... great videos... Did You know Mercury 7 astronaut Leroy Cooper privately owned a Bonanza V-tail 4-seater F35 made in 1955 ... Clear Skies !
Hey thanks for watching and commenting. It is great to hear what people think. I didn't know that about Cooper but it doesn't surprise me. Thanks again...Dale
Dale, Nice Job! Murph
Thanks buddy!
ouch, this nis a beautiful plane,,, and you jacked it withn whatever this is..
Iam not a pilot but have had a interest in aviation since I was a kid in the 50s and 60s. I flew a lot with my dad then, he had a Taylorcsraft BC12D. My dad had a friend who moved up to a Beachcraft V tail...I think it was a early 50s model. He thought he was a better pilot than he actually was. On a cold foggy morning he and another guy took off for Spokane Wash. It was fogy that morning and was advised not to fly. He took off anyway's thinking he could clear the fog quickly and have sunny skies. Shortly after they flew into the foothills outside of Sunnyside Wash. Iam guessing the fog layer was much higher than he thought it would be. Not a fault of the Beachcraft Iam sure....but a over confident pilot. It kind of reminds me of what happened with the Buddy Holly accident. This was about 1963. Great video
Thanks for watching and the interesting story.
Beautiful plane!
Thanks Justin!
The bonanza boogie as I affectionately call it
And boogie it does!
I like that you waited to retract the gear.
I was taught to wait until I was out of runway and I saw a positive rate of climb. I have always stuck to that procedure.
My dad had a straight 35 Bo..and a 59 K35…great airplanes if flown with common sense…he was a doctor also…never made a bad decision in those aircraft..got his IFR ticket in 1970…we went everywhere in those planes…and some very short strips…great memories..😀😀
Paul, thanks for watching! My dad lost a brother in a B26 in WWII. I had to hide the fact that I got my pilot’s license from him when I first got it. He warmed up to the idea later when it allowed me to visit him more often before he passed. How awesome to have flyers in the family!
The "Woblin Goblin" caught my attention. In 12 years of hand-flying (no George) my G35 Bonanza I never experienced the tail wag that everyone told me about.
I don't hardly notice it either
I still get AOPA Pilot and read all the aviation I can get... now flying RC models like I did some 40 years ago. I don't think I could fly comfortably behind all the new glass panels - those steam gages told me everything I needed. For situation awareness I used a supplemental, hand-held Garmin and almost all my flights were filed IFR and many in IMC but not in dangerous weather.
I miss flying wi th my father. Kermit bravo
Dang, I need sunglasses just watching all that Texas sunshine on a laptop screen! ;')
You are welcome to visit....just don't move here....hahaha
Hey Gordon, Terry Frymire here. A35 N756B driver. Based just south of San Antonio. Great Video
Thanks for watching, I'll tell Gordon you said hi.
I had a 1950 B model. Great airplane
Nevermind the tail wobble… are we going to talk about the prop vibration?!? Holy moly!!! Get a balance done at 2300 if that’s your desired cruise rpm. Sheesh
My Dad flew one of these for Central Airlines, out of Meacham Field - Ft. W. - when they first started up in 1949! He said the company made money, until they bought DC3s. (Sounded like a tall Texas tale to me)
That's an interesting story...I would love to hear more about that.
Greatest airplane I ever had was a V35B. Made three additions: Strobes, Century III A/P and the best of all, the yaw damper. Gear up, yaw damper on - one movement. Best thing since sliced bread!! Thanks for the ride along, well done, nice bird.
Thanks for watching
My first ride in a V-tail was a sweet V35B nearly 30 years ago!
I did a lot of crosswind landing practice at KAHX during my PPL training, a fun place airport to go.
A great airport for cross wind practice....I've never landed there that was a challenge one way or another....hahaha
One of our old family friends was killed in a V-tail back in about 1963. It had nothing to do with the usual poor skills, or blame given to 'odd handling' of the V tails. They suffered an engine fail, and were gliding in to a farm field. A single very tall fence post caught the left wing root as they glided down. Instead of a smooth flare out on the field, the plane was swung sharply at the wing root, and Fred hit the dash board. His wife and son also aboard survived... sadly he did not, the impact taking his life instantly.
Jennifer, thanks for sharing and for watching.
As I watched you take off I thought the airpark looked familiar. I rewound and I noticed my little yellow Kitfox parked at Jeff's house.... so, I reckon I'm in your video! Great video too. By the way, I now have an S35 and found your video while looking for tips and info about them.
Hahaha so it was you I was waving at
@@MrDucatizombie Yes, Sir.
I have wanted a fork-tailed doctor killer for a long time. It is my second favourite small aircraft. "The Day The Music Died," is coming up soon. The bird really did fall off the fallout shelter that 3rd of February 1959.
Rest in peace Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, Ritchy Valance, and Pilot Roger Peterson.
Yes sir
Unfortunately, and respectfully, the reason they died wasn't the airplane, but the pilot who flew it in weather that he wasn't qualified to fly it in.
@@phunistle442 There really was no design flaw with the V35. What was the problem was the pilots just did not know how to handle them. The Bonanza flies on today. They just do not have the beauty of the V35. The V tails look so beautifully futuristic. It is like the cars of the 1950s. They look futuristic compared to today's but are older than today's bland junk.
Hello Dale You Fly the plane I get up as a kid always wanting to fly. Now that I am 65 and retired computer geek I am working on my private pilot certificate and will get the plane. The way you do your Vlog is very nice especially for people that are just learning my lady friend did not have to ask questions about what was going on.
Freddie, thanks for the kind words...I got my private at 40 so it's never too late to pursue your dreams!
I just bought a 1947 35, that has the same seats. What brand shoulder harnesses STC do you have? I like over the back, versus from the roof. Great video👍🏻
Congratulations, I know you will love it. I believe these are the original harnesses. I don't see anything in the logs about them being upgraded. They are a bit of a pain but everyone gets the hang of them after a few minutes. Thanks for watching!
Can't believe he handled that crosswind. 100@5 landing runway 09.
Dustin, the V-tail design is quite manageable in crosswind situations...less vertical resistance than a standard tail.
What's that, about a 3/4 knot crosswind? That's a tough one. Might even have to rest a toe on the rudder pedal
One of the best center-view-forward camera placement and framing that I've seen. Most show too much panel and cockpit structure. We wanna see out the windows.
Thanks for the comments Jack!
Glad to see others with that yaw at lower altitudes. Always feel like I’m doing a sloppy job of flying when that starts, especially when I look back at GoPro footage. Nice video. What model is yours? Mine is an F with the e225-8.
Keith, thanks for watching...she's a 58' J35....if that wobble ain't there you ain't really flying!....hahaha
@@MrDucatizombie Enjoyed the video. Looking forward to more in the future.
Great video! but whats the deal with the 2 iPads? I see one is ForeFlight but how about the other?
I was using one for Foreflight navigation and the other for synthetic vision. I've sine dropped back to one.
Otherwise, you are obviously a very conscientious pilot. I fly for a major, and I appreciate your professional demeanor. I'm about to buy a K35.
Thanks for the encouraging comments, I have a bunch of ATPs here in my neighborhood. I'm glad to hear you are still flying for fun. That can be lost when work gets involved.
I’d love to see more of your panel, what is that box on the glare shield?
Seth, that's a good idea, since I am currently grounded I will make a video on the equipment in Triple 4 Xray for those who are interested.
Seth, The box on the glare shield has a clock, marker beacon indicators and vacuum pump pressure gauge.
Hi Dale, How do you see ice on those white leading edges?
I stay out of it! Hahahahaha
One thing to note that was not presented quite right, for Bravo airspace just being in communication with ATC isn’t good enough. You must get an explicit “cleared into the Bravo” to enter the airspace. Class Charlie only requires that 2 way communication be established. They may let clipping the corner slide there, but you’re risking having a conversation with the FAA.
You are absolutely correct. The video title is a bit misleading, it should read “…..under class Bravo”. My path to AXH is actually below the shelves in this video, the controllers didn’t clear me into the airspace because the outer shelf bottom is 4000, then steps down to 3000 at six miles out and 2000 2 miles from touchdown. If I remember correctly even when I fly there IFR in another video they keep me below all the way there. I am sure That’s why they design the airspace that way, to keep us pesky little aircraft out of the “big boy” traffic.
Dale thanks for the awesome episode & all the work you put in to make this content! I'm interested in setting up an IPad Mini for flying... this will need a GPS as well? Any input or advice is appreciated! New sub from a fellow youtuber my friend!
Sorry for the late reply! I've been moving. The iPad mini was perfect for my airplane in size. I use Foreflight and a stratus ADSB unit which in essence is a GPS device.
Nice editing. Isn’t there a yaw damper to stabilise the wobbles?
Why is it called the “Dr. Killer”? Is it really that unsafe of a plane?
James, the airplane got the name because it's performance and expense attracted a lot of wealthy buyers ( Including a lot of Doctors). Owners who had money to buy an airplane but didn't have the time or inclination to pursue the appropriate skills to fly it in marginal conditions. So a lot of Doctors and other famous ended up crashing the airplane and dying in the process.
The Bonanza was far more dangerous to fly than the average airplane of its day (1947 when introduced)
It did have some mechanical issues that caused failures when stressed beyond the normal flight envelope. These were rectified early on but the airplane carries the name ever since even though it has proven to be the longest running airplane in continuous production of all times.
This is one of my all time favorite airplanes. I think they got a bad wrap from some inexperienced pilots. Gotta keep some safe minimums if you wanna stay safe. You have kept your plane in amazing condition Dale! I'm curious how you manage fuel consumption across the tanks. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching, I typically burn an hour out of the left tank first to make room for the overflow which always goes in that tank regardless of which tank you are using. The auxiliary tanks are only for level flight. By the time you've gone around available tanks you will end up with enough back in the left one to finish the flight on it.
Fam had a 1973 V35B with an IO-550. We never had an issue with her. It's a complex airplane, and requires an experienced pilot that knows not to fly her beyond her designed limits.
Is that the tail vibrating or the GoPro?
All the cameras vibrate, some way more than others....the one on the instrument panel was almost unwatchable.
V tailed Bonanzas have been vindicated over time from their 'killer' reputation. the crashes that were so publicized were more cases of people who had the money to buy a higher performance plane than they were capable of handling
My Alpi wags its tail like that :o
It means she is happy!
Waiting for a mid-air collision by not rubber-necking!
question as a newbie- I know its a ritual of landing to check fuel selectors, under carriage is down 3 green, Mixture Rich and Props forward. Mostly for best power setting in case needed a fast go around. But, if density altitude, warmer temps. Why wouldn't one leaved the Mixture on "Best" power setting for engine based on those factors and not just Mixture full rich every time? what if full rich mixture lowers your engines performance especially if one needs it.
Michael, actually you are correct in many ways. But the answer to your question is the default is full rich because the aircraft's engine is tuned to reliably stay running during low RPM landing ops at any elevation. In my case I am typically operating between 500 to 1800 above Mean Sea Level (MSL). The engine will be a little on the rich side with enough air to always run no matter what. In actuality I watch my graphic engine monitor all the time and try to keep the engine running on the rich side of peak exhaust gas temp all the way to the landing phase. Flying in and out of high elevations I would not go to full rich but use the vernier and my GEM to adjust for the rich side of peak at 1000 AGL....great question!
@@MrDucatizombie thanks-
I’m always learning new things as well!
@@MrDucatizombie
Is it 100 degrees rich of peak & 25 lean of peak or can you adjust those numbers a bit. Maybe stay 65-75 rich of peak if don’t mind burning more fuel & running a tad bit hotter etc.
@@MikinctUnfortunately my engine monitor isn't that precise but I have learned to use the tools I have and watch the response of the engine. I have LED bars segmented at 50 degree intervals so I watch the relationship between EGT and CHT and equate that to how the power and sound of the engine resond.
Be careful with the Bravo space. Just because you are talking to approach doesn’t give you the automatic clearance when you are VFR. They have to specifically clear you into the bravo.
Seth, That is absolutely correct. You are not cleared into the airspace until you hear those magic words...."cleared into the class bravo".
Thank you. This was my question.
So, would a straight tail Bonanza 'wobble' the same amount?
No an you will lose 25 knots an all that sex appeal....haha
He's correct, ill stick with my 56 G.
@@MrDucatizombie I don't think you'll lose that much. All else being equal, the V tail will be a few knots faster- around 5 knots, I think. I had a B-33 Debonair, but also flew a few V tails. Both are excellent machines, and real "pilot's" airplanes. Great video!!
@@peterjaypriest thanks for the compliments, I agree. I looked at straight tails too when this one came up in my hometown...that made my decision easy
Never heard it called the "Wobblin Goblin" before - lol
An Uber driver in Dallas TX told me about that nickname for the V-Tail....I thought it was appropriate.....hahaha
quick question; I wasn't there, but wouldn't an overhead entry into the traffic pattern been better? I'm guessing you are super familiar with that airport, but last time I did a straight in approach, I ended up with another aircraft in my path. A lot of pilots don't follow the courtesy of announcing their position/intentions.
I agree completely, I Donnie straight in approaches bu I had a King Air doing the same thing on my tail and felt this was the best thing in that scenario .
I hate typing on a phone....hahaha. I typically avoid straight in approaches for that very reason.
I thought there was an AD years ago to add bracing to fix this problem.
It seems your eyes were in the cockpit more than out.
Chuck, I really hadn't noticed that. I'll watch it again and see what it is you noticed. I really fly by a scan process which includes outside as well as inside. The idea is to be ready so that if a transition into IMC occurs I am ready to fly by instruments. But on a VFR flight into heavy traffic areas like my home base and this trip to Houston, I should be focusing on outside more. It is easy to get complacent with the help of ATC and ADSB info. Good to point that out to me! Thanks
I think it was easier to be “outside the cockpit” years ago when all we had was a 6 pack and had to navigate outside for vfr. Now, there’s so much data to brief, and information available, that there’s a significant amount of work to do, even when you’re “just” vfr.
Hah, waiving at folks at 60 knots on takeoff roll..
“Hand, can I introduce you to Mr Throttle?”
WTF?
Great video... but loose the loud music at the end.
Thanks for watching!
It is catchy, and slightly annoying at the same time, but I like it. What is the song title?
always wanted a V-Tail bonanza there’s one sitting in the hangar at my flight school needs a new engine but the bloke can’t afford it it’s sad to see it not flying
You should buy it and restore it
@@MrDucatizombie i hope we can it would be a great job and plane
Just discovered your channel and subscribed. I'm curious where your airport is located. I'm looking for a hangar home in Texas or Florida.i also want aV Tail or Mooney (the Texas State Bird). You checked in over Taylor. My grandmother grew up near there.
Hey thanks for checking in! Very interesting comments, I think both Doctors and Bonanzas get a bad wrap on the whole name issue. What we do is dangerous and sometimes things go wrong. I live in a small airpark 07TS outside of Georgetown TX, there may be a home coming up for sale soon across the street. There is also a new airpark under development a few miles from here on Hwy 29 TA68 Randy's Airpark. You can build a place there, I believe there are lots available still. This area has been in an unbelievable boom for a long time.
@@MrDucatizombie Thanks, I'll look up both air parks. I like that area. Looking forward to more videos too! 👍
16:54 Which music ?
A Little Minor VAMP Higher ?
Sorry I didn't see your question till now. I compose, perform and record all the music on my videos. Thanks for watching! Cheers
Hi Dale nice vid , I have a b55 and want to copy your Center iPad mounts if that’s ok , I think it’s cool , what and where can I buy , Merry Christmas cheers Sean
I'd love to have a B55, another great value in an airplane. I am using iPad minis with Ram yoke mounts.
Go to the Ram web site and look for the "Bonanza Mount". You will also have to buy the cradle (total cost about $65). This unit mounts to the cross bar on the dual yoke or the flop over.
So far i think youve look outside once
I'm curious...are you a pilot?
It's important to realize that the edited scenes you see me in the video compared to the time I actually spent flying the airplane is vastly different. The technology aboard the airplanes we fly today is very helpful in keeping the pilot aware of what is out there. No doubt there could be something that can bite you in a big kind of way and you need to be aware of you situation. The scenes I put in the film were chosen to discuss the operation of aircraft and highlight the information I was gathering from ATC, GPS, ADS-B and various other systems. I have found that my viewers are interested in the technical details of the flights I make so I try to keep them interesting in that respect. I do appreciate your comments and your viewing my videos.
You could use some new seat belts for that plane that doesn't look like it's going to keep you in your seat.
William, you are right. one consideration is that the "modern" options have belts hanging from the top of the cabin....not a fan of that. I'm accepting donations for the upgrade fund.....hahaha
The cirrus of the 1950s. Hah !
It will be interesting to see how many SR22s are still flying and cherished in 75 years!
Sounds a bit like an old DC-6
That's the first time I've heard that! Thanks for watching.
Nice posting! I fly a P35 Bonanza. Liked the tail view. Surprised at how small movements of ruddervators needed to effect control.
Thanks for watching, always great to connect with a fellow V-Tail pilot
Every commenter is the smartest person in any room or so they think.
Hahaha...ain’t that the truth.
Is that J model?
Yes sir, 1958 J35 with an Ultimate engine.
You can’t steal “wobblin goblin” from the F117
Well I can sure try....there are probably more Bonanza's flying to claim the title....haha
Is there something wrong with the sound of the engine?? Perhaps you find the audio from the radio objectionable?? It can't be your own voice can it Dale?? No! Than why the heck do you ruin a wonderful flight with that horrible music?? The cabin sounds just compliment the video perfectly. Keep it natural, please!
David, I appreciate your watching and your comments. The audio comes from multiple sources and considerable work goes into constructing a sound track for the film. I try to recreate the actual feel of being in the airplane and create an emotionally involving experience. If all I did was take the cockpit camera audio all that would be heard is inside engine roar, if all I used was the intercom feed all you would hear is the voices on it and the radio (no engine sound at all). If you use the outside camera audio it varies from engine sound to pure wind when flying. I am sorry you don't like my music but I have been producing videos since the late 70s and music is essential to creating the feel I am looking for. I try to level everything so you can hear all the parts when they are relevant to actual experience i endeavor to recreate. I don't claim to be an expert at this and I do appreciate your input. On my slow TV video "flying the great southwest " it is only the sound from the wing camera....maybe you would enjoy that one.....cheers and thanks again for comments.
Dale Johnson I have to agree with many of the comments do your photography or I guess videography is some of the best that I've seen and you do an excellent job presenting what it is it your present. I think it's a matter of personal taste. There seems to be some agreement with my position by some of the guys perhaps we are in the minority. One of the reasons I fly is the solitude of the cockpit I enjoy being one with my machine where all I have to endure is that the noise of my engine continues and ATC doesn't pay Bob with a reminder that what I'm doing is inappropriate. LOL as I said, it's an opinion. As with everything you take it or leave it and continue on. Please continue on what you do is very enjoyable I just like the peace and quiet. I guess my 33 years in the public schools has tainted me a bit. Solitude!
Fair enough my friend, thanks for watching!
I agree that music can distract from the video, but this is pretty nice as it's subdued background and not overwhelming everything else.
Agreed...the music sounds amateurish at best .Its redundamcy is nauseating. TH-cam offers free uploads on much better music. Anyway...props to you on a cool video none the less. I love the v35.
great video but the sound feed half way through was bad except fo your mike.
Good video, you're doing it, sexy sexy beautiful V tail, Continental 310 HP??? Very interesting very informative thanks a lot good upload
Its an Ultimate Engines IO 470 with Gami injectors delivers 250 hp.
Too many old people flying planes..65 and your done!
I guess I am done then!
ABSOLUTE BS calling this a Doctor Killer! Planes don't kill people, stupid pilots do! This is a high performance airplane in which I have ridden many hours, safely.
It's a badge of honor....
Jim, it’s called the doctor killer because it was the originally plane of choice of people with more money than hours. In other words....many doctors. So yes inexperienced pilots......who happened to be doctors. Not sure why this strikes a nerve with you but it’s not completely baseless
@@TobinTwinsHockey The original V-tail also had a higher number of structural failures of the tail. However, the overall accident rate may not have been any higher than typical GA aircraft, maybe even lower.
Jim Williams, I am with you. And it may have been that the same amount of people would have been killed if their Bonanza had a straight tail.
Here is the truth about this aircraft V-tail. My uncle Alphonso Duran from Manteca, Calif and his brother Manuel which was my dad were in the model airplane club at Manteca High School in the 1930’s. My grandfather passed away in 1927 in a farming accident. There were nine sons and a daughter, Aunt Josephine that live in Mountain View. The time they were poor. All my uncles worked to support my grandmother.
Most of the model planes were free flight. You would start them un and turn them loose then chase them till they ran out of gas. Uncle Fonse’s plane crashed and broke off the tail. Being poor, he used what he had to keep flying it. Hence the V-TAIL was born. He made the drawings in his mechanical drawing class at Manteca high. His teacher knew this student was on to something. When the drawings were done, the teacher vanished with the original drawings by my uncle and took credit for it.
The teacher was a thief. He taught my uncle the value of who can you trust, and it was not your teacher. That V-Tail was a brilliant idea by my teenage uncle in the 1930’s sometime. And THAT is the absolute truth.
That's an interesting story John, flying model airplanes has been a major part of my aviation for decades
@@MrDucatizombie well, sir, it is the truth.
Lose the music. Otherwise I enjoyed the video. Very relaxed pilot for sure.
Sorry, playing the music is half the fun for me...
The guitar is a little bit out of tune in a few spots.
Well I never claimed to be a great guitar player but I can't stand that synthetic canned music most TH-cam videos have so I recorded this stuff just for the purpose one afternoon.
@@MrDucatizombie The tone was awesome
loose the music
Sorry, playing the music is half the fun for me, and hundreds of hours go into creating the content. Since it's not a paying job the music will stay. I am working on a new backing track though.
