  • This was one of the wildest trips of my life.
    I have no words for how tired I was, how excited I was and how stressed I was all at the same time. There are few things in life that have made me feel this alive and really look forward to your comments on this one. Flying a kit plane Across South Africa is no small feat.
    Thanks for being patient. its here.

    Great video and a nice little Kit. Did you have Tom fly because it was a new kit, and such a long flight that he he had done before? Cool to see the end where you and your better half saw each other. Is she doing art full time now, or is she still yachting during season. Thanks for sharing the video with us and really happy for you brother. Can't wait to see what new adventures the kit adds to the channel along with yachting.

    • @jaredwatney
      @jaredwatney  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Tom flew as he is definitely the more experienced and competent pilot especially in this type of plane (taildragger). It was a new plane with low hours and in a circumstance of emergency he’d be able to make a more experienced decision. With all that above, it just made more sense for Tom to be the pilot in command.

    Making a trip like this in a new plane must be the best feeling ever, I understand why you didn't sleep ;)
    About the birds, maybe it's beneficial to get some covers to put in when the plane is parked. Keeping birds and other debris or animals out is probably a good idea. KFA might be able to recommend you sth there, or you send out the dimensions to your followers, I bet someone has a 3D printer they really want to use ;).

      @jaredwatney  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey Noah.
      Thank you for the support bro. Buying this plane is a way that allows me to pump out more content. Also the decline off the algorithm is somewhat justified. Iv been away for a while and the content before this last video has been sub par during these weird times.
      -
      It has taught me though to see it as just numbers and not be massively upset like I used to be when videos didn’t do as well.
      I KNOW my time will come again and have plans in place to come back with a vengeance.
      Thanks again for caring. Means heaps.
