Spectacular views of Washington .. I grew up in Arlington .. we lived right at the end of the airport (north).. would watch planes fly over (glasairs ect).. would attend the arlington EA airshows sometimes .. very exciting . now in Florida .. just north of Miami . luv florida
Love Ya Buddy!!! Ya coulda flown lower by the coast!!! ha ha ha JK ! But please the volume is killing me! turned it up in the begining and then BAM HOLY MOSSES !!! ha ha ha See ya on the next one which better be a boat build!!!!
Interesting to see how the gear and doors sequence one at a time. That bird at 1:36! Sick C8! My wife wants one, and so do I! Fun video, love the buzzing of the mt tops!
You're flying in my backyard. I had my airplane (which my father built) at Arlington for awhile. I currently live in Snohomish and was in Lake Stevens at a private airpark for many years. I also enjoy your jet boat videos as I have a V8 jet boat my father built in the 60s.
Any chance you can take us along the Olympic mountains....living on vancouver island and flying along our range is always beautiful, but Mt flying, not to be taken lightly. The view from Victoria, your Olympic Mountains are stunning!
@Jolly Roger Aviation I'll look forward to it! I always love watching the sport class at Reno with the Lanceairs and glass airs push the limits! As a owner of a poor man's RV (Zenair 601) and a Harmon Rocket is pretty much my dream...it's funny how the fellow who takes me for the odd flight in his RV talks about how he wants a Lanceair..funny how us humans are.
Perhaps you could have the Autopilot Switch replaced with a Toggle Switch. Is there a Light for Autopilot? If not then perhaps you could get one wired too.
What is the range of that plane? I know nothing about flying, love this content! It’s like the other channel, just keep posting, showing and teaching !
@@JollyRogerAviation I was wondering if it may be fine, but extra torque on it made it look low. Just one of those things to make you go hmmmm, hell why not ask and learn!
Nice Aircraft. You got a hot rod. When you engage and disengage AP do you get an audible alarm? If not you could add one. I'm with Scott though. I would move it. It's going to happen again. I like the way the gear goes up one wheel at a time. It looks way better than a 310, 401 and other Cessna props. They look like they're struggling to come up. You're going to have fun with that plane. I have heard stories about them stalling but I'm sure you are a very qualified pilot and have had training with a pilot that owns a plane like yours. Do you fly 737-800 for Alaska Airlines? I think pilots have the greatest job but I'm sure it's stressful. Have a Happy Saint Patrick's Day. Take care.
What ya’ getting for lbs/hr? Don’t expect that stick / switch will be that much bother with hours and experience. Switching it up might make a good addition to the annual when you get that time comes.
That's an awful lot of confidence in that big-bore continental. Mine failed over the Cascade range, not fun. Going down in the water there would be even less fun without the proper equipment. Cool footage, be safe, and consider wearing survival gear over the water.
I feel like anywhere you fly in the PNW, there’s always a risk greater than flying in other parts of the country. Air taxis, including my families, flew/flies single engine wheel planes day in and day out up in southeast Alaska which is very similar to this area. I do get your point though, I guess it’s just a calculated risk to enjoy life. I also understand energy management and my speed could have easily been traded in for altitude and made a beach landing of sorts, except the extremely rocky areas. I am planning a flight up to Alaska this summer and plotting out my points, my alternates and you bring up a really good point about emergency equipment that I will definitely have on board before I make that trip. Thank you for the very thought-provoking comment!
I would make some changes to your a/p switches. Engage only from the panel, disconnect from stick or the panel. Pretty much all GA a/ps are like that, and as you know so are the big jets.

That’s awesome Craig! Thanks for the comment!
This is absolutely incredible. I love the footage. Please, keep it up.
It’s really beautiful around here!
Love Ya Buddy!!! Ya coulda flown lower by the coast!!! ha ha ha JK ! But please the volume is killing me! turned it up in the begining and then BAM HOLY MOSSES !!! ha ha ha See ya on the next one which better be a boat build!!!!
Dang it, I thought I had it sorted out! Ughhh
What a day 👍
Poor Nicole would have been freaking out!
"The controls seem bound up" 🥵😂
Lol yeah glad it happened with my brother!

Man there’s birds EVERYEHERE! Nothing like having a 100’ pass with a giant bald Eagle lol. I love the C8! It’s such a fun car!!!
Love that plane!!! Like many I picked you up from Cleetus ;) Motorsports fan all around. Watched Patey build DRACO and Scrappy... good stuff...
Patey is AMAZING!!! I love watching him build anything & everything!
Much better on the panel.
Ya I think so too!
Thank goodness you are well trained and skilled
Just felt like a nitwit lol

Right on! Super glad to have yiu
That's gotta be a quite disconcerting feeling when you are flying. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
It was for a minute or two lol
@@JollyRogerAviation BET!
Cool! Nice video! Flies like a fighter jet!
It really kinda does…I mean……kinda lol
Holy Guacamole Im glad you are safe man
Laughable in hindsight

I tried to on this flight but they were clouded in! I will for sure!

Yeah I think I’ll make changes when it’s up for annual
How close to Deception Pass can you get? Love the PNW and especially Puget Sound. Lots of memories.
Ehhhh it’s really close to NAS Whidbey so shouldn’t be a problem as long as you’re talking to them!
Love the new camera angle...
Kinda cool to see it!
What is the range of that plane?

1100-1100 NM. Glad to hear you enjoy it!
Odd question…
What kinda PSI should those tires have? Front looked low……
Ok back to video.
Thanks for noticing that! They’re supposed to be 50. I’ll bring my gauge next time I go and check it out! 👍

There’s no audible warning, just a visual indication on the autopilot panel. I fly 737 700/800/900/900ER/MAX-9
What about UAS or drone aircraft at lower altitudes?
Definitely things to consider!
Dammit man! What was the altitude over the water? Lofosho!
It was a safe altitude and airspeed to make a landing if required 🤣😉😁
@@JollyRogerAviation I don't doubt you! I have been on the lake when some extra low planes came over and left a wake! You were plenty high!
What ya’ getting for lbs/hr?
Don’t expect that stick / switch will be that much bother with hours and experience. Switching it up might make a good addition to the annual when you get that time comes.
Yeah good idea on the annual! Cruising at 11.5 - 12 GPH

Can you change it out What's regulation on changing stuff like that GODSPEED
That’s one of the benefits to having an experimental, you can kinda do whatever you want!

I think I am going to do it during its annual. 👍🤟✌️
I'm really glad this did not happen when Nicole was on board\
Lol no doubt!
Remove the switch from the stick and put it where you like? I'll even bet the wires are long enough.
Kinda like a old school "correct" dimmer switch on the floor!
Yeah I think I will…eventually
Just dont hit any drones under 400' agl !
No doubt right!!!
