FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.
I was watching AOPA's channel a while back when, at the end, there was a message about keeping GA alive. It was ironic after such a boring, poorly edited program. When I commented, they pointed me to FlyBy, their program for pilots with ADD. Really, though, if you want to attract young people, channels like this one may be the answer. Better video, better editing and better personality than AOPA. We need the AOPA for many reasons, but old people with deeper pockets drive most of GA, and that may just be the problem with recruting new pilots.
Thanks for this feedback. We're working hard to change the paradigm in terms of what aviation related content looks and feels like - glad you're enjoying where we are trying to take it!
AOPA needs to hire some younger journalists lol
Go for it Steve. I think you should make a deal with Vans for the RV 10 for taking the family along. Little ones grow up fast and she looks like she already has the flying bug.
Line up is simple if you imagine wearing roller skates. No matter the aircraft size or configuration, just put your skates on both sides of the centerline like you’re guiding on a metal rail. It’s amazing how the visualization of wheels on your feet gives you instant feedback to ride that virtual rail.
Hey - that's an interesting way to look at it! Thanks!
I realize I'm a bit late on this, but a build series would be great. There are a few Vans build video series out there, both overview and detail, and they all go a long way into dispelling the impression that a traditional riveted aircraft is hard to do. I've been kicking around building for years, and I was leaning towards all Blind Rivet (Pop-style) because I didn't want to deal with solid rivets. Watching on builder in particular working on his RV-10 really brought in the reality that it CAN be done. The TH-cam is Jason Ellis shows his mistakes as well. Couple that with the folks at Vans itself, and the builder community, and it takes what was an overwhelming prospect, and makes it doable. I'm leaning towards an 8 for myself, just because the size, performance, and configuration suit me. Good Luck Steve, and Clear Skies
Hey Chops.. nice to see these two videos.. As a first-time builder, i picked the -12 because it was the easiest/fastest to build and i didn’t want to bite off more than i could chew. I’m 75% done and i wish i went for the -9 or -14 .. not because my mission changed or i made the wrong choice, but because i know my build will be done soon and i feel like i will miss building after it’s done! already thinking about building a “spare” plane 🤣
that, sir, I reckon is exactly what it is supposed to feel like....kudos
Would love to see you build an RV-14... 😊
Hey Chops, I would love to see a build of the RV14. I think you should hit up you buddy Steveo and get him to donate the motor out of the TBM for you RV. That would make a crazy cool Airplane.
I love, love, love my RV10 - amazing performance, plenty of room and reasonably long legs. Love to have the Garmin panels, we use Dynon which are great and the Garmin G5 as standby - amazing set up that is at home landing on grass as it is on tarmac.
DO THE BUILD CHOPS!!! I've wanted to do a build since grade 4. Hopefully only temporary but I'm currently living my life vicariously through your awesome adventures! KEEP'M ROLLIN' (er.... FLY'N)!!!
As somebody who just received their Student Pilot Certificate just over a week ago these videos are just amazing to watch because every one you post teaches me something new
16:27 I like how you can see that truck on the road with similar speeds, cool perspective
Great to watch this Steve! I built two RV-12s in high school and was also my first aircraft to fly solo in! Amazing videos by the way, keep it up!!
Teen Flight student?
John Davis Started when I was 15 through our local aero club, now 19 and attending flight school!
@@AvLand right on!
You are pushing me over the edge towards an RV-14.
From the experience of flying both a RV-7A and RV-10 they are great aircraft, great to work on and have a great community behind them that is always willing to help or lend knowledge along the way.
I would like to see the RV-10 built. I had a Mooney and now a 182, but looking for a 4-place modern efficient cross-country airplane and I keep seeing Van’s all over the country when I fly. Your presentation was very helpful and interesting. Thanks
Bill Kinzler , check out Jason Ellis' channel. He's got hundreds of videos covering his RV-10 build: th-cam.com/play/PLme5KP3gHSKxgMsZgnsenlwzUjsTNov8z.html
Cool seeing the other airplane flying underneath you at 10:10. Nice series.
Jason Ellis has done a great job documenting his RV-10 build on TH-cam. Take a look at that if you want to know what you'll be getting into as a builder. I'm 3.5 years into my RV-10 build and maybe a month or two from being complete. I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would.
Absolutely fantastic video! I’m an instructor with the Royal Canadian Air Cadets and have used (on occasion) your war bird videos to show the cadets more than just a static picture of the historic and beautiful machines they are. Your videos keep them (and my officers too...) engaged the entire time, It’s truly magic. Thank you so much for sharing your passion with us.
Right on! this is awesome to hear! If you're near Windsor, maybe we can arrange to fly one of the "Canadian Historical Aircraft Association" planes together!
FlightChops That would be a flight of a life time! Thank you for offering! I live on the West coast but I would personally charter a flight there for the opportunity. :)
@@drakegreen6939 - ok cool - please reach out in the summer and we can set something up. FlightChops at gmail dot com
Maybe you can also visit the Air Cadets squadron that is based in the hangar beside the CH2A hangar while you are here.
Better instructor then I ever managed to come across. Calm, understanding, helpful, caring.
Mike is a very sharp instructor! Really enjoyed some of the tips that I think I will try myself. Awesome videos! Keep them coming.
Doing a build series would definitely take this channel to the next level.
Congratulations on the warbird checkout and all of your other milestones. I've enjoyed watching your progress in aviation.
So when will you do your " 'Round the World Flight"?
Karl Brundage I agree! Yes a build from kit to flight would be awesome! I would definitely support that project financially!
Thanks!
@@thomasdollenmayer4073 I will remain a loyal Patreon patron... but I'm up to my butt in RV-8!
Working on my RV-8 canopy frame today... enthusiasm lagging; the finishing stuff is like that... and watching you being introduced to clecos was just the boost in morale I needed! LOL And of course, the flying videos are always motivational.
Mike is a great instructor. I did a transition training with him and had lots of fun flying at his little airport in Vernonia.
Mike is the best! He did my transition training for my RV-8.. Awesome instructor!
Excellent! Can't wait for you to start building the 14.
Love the RV12 - he's a wise old hand in the right seat. Great video, thanks.
Come now Steve! You are a warbird guy! I bet if you fly the RV-8 the RV-14 kit will stay. Some people don’t like the tandem seats but I love it. You won’t get any closer to a Mustang or your Spitfire than a RV8.
And I’m building one!
Yes - the RV-8 is a sweet machine!
If I get an RV, I think I have to go side by side for my passengers...
I am lucky to get my tandem fun in the Chipmunk and Harvard :)
The home building process would be a major step up for FlightChops in aviation. I am sure some viewers would see this as an opportunity to participate. I know I would. There are a lot of Vans aircraft being built near you, and the RV 10 would make an excellent platform for cross country, with baggage. A tough decision, with much commitment regardless. The guys and gals from your closest E.A.A chapter will be happy to hear from you, and most likely have some tools to share. I'm excited for you, and look forward to your next update
Yes build the 14 would love to see the build
OMG- BUILD THE RV-14!!!! Not the 14A, but, the conventional gear plane, please!!! Heck, I'll visit Patreon, and, I'll even go to Canada, eh- to assist with the build. I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed the 'lil RV-12 with the 912 iS engine, but, 20 gallons will give you 5 hours of endurance, twice as long as my bladder! Wow, I'd look good watching video of you building & flying that RV-14... But, dreamer's will dream. Hmmm, tail-dragger plane for a knuckle dragger pilot- yeah! DO IT! You KNOW you want to.... Do it! Do it! Do it! (Join in, folks!)
There ya go, 'chops. :) An RV-14 taildragger it simply must be if anything, just for the pure passion on this comment! ;)
@@FlyVansAircraft Steve? You don't want me to start a channel chant of "DO IT!" do you? I will, you know. Even Van's Aircraft agrees with me, and, they're much smarter than I! I sense Popeye forearms in your future. FlightChops is gonna have to add folded arms into the logo (with ink, of course!)
Haha - love this comment David! And yeah, if we take on the project, I'll probably be inviting some viewers from time to time to visit for a weekend and help out and maybe fly one of the warbirds at the museum as a thanks.
(If we do this, I'll likely be building at the Canadian Historical Aircraft Association facility)
@@FlightChops Nice, I'm glad to see a Canadian aviation channel, even a Canadian channel at all on you tube, I haven't found many. Great job, I look forward to more videos, especially the build. Greetings from Ontario
Would absolutely love to see you build a plane! Great video as always 👍🏻
Glad to see an RV 4-Place Airplane. Now, I want 2 of them, maybe 3 if I add the Aerobatic model. Keep up the Good Work by bringing us such Great Content in so many different types of Aircraft! Looks looks a lot of work! Thumbs Up!
Yes! Build the RV-14, we would all love to come along on the journey.
Documenting an RV kit build would be awesome!
Get it, Chops. This shouldn't even be a discussion.
I would love to see the 14 build process. I was very excited to see that when it first came out.
I moved up to Aurora for the month to work for a friend on his experimental and had no idea Vans was right down the strip till just now lol
Come visit us! We have tours twice every weekday at 9:30 am and 1:30 pm.
That rv14 would be my pick as well. Looks like a fun bunch of planes.
Please do a RV-14 build. Got a buddy who is going to be building an RV and it would be super helpful to follow yours along first! Thank you Steve!
Good Job!!!
I Like the 14A best....
Can’t wait to see you build one!!
Great video documentary. I fly a Van's RV-6A and love it. Please do get a 14 kit and document it. I for one would watch every video!
Please, you must build one! Your video production quality would make for the most amazing video build log. I would watch every single episode without fail.
it's fun to see N317VA, the RV12is that you were flying, it's what I'm learning to fly in now, so it's like when you see photos of yourself from a few years ago.
Do it, Steve! RV-14 or RV-10. If you want an easier build for your first plane, try the 12. Then go for the 14 or 10. Thanks for doing this! It's going to be fun! RVs are excellent.
Now that I think about it, Steve, you have a daughter and may have another kid at some point. You may consider the 10 for family transport. Fast, efficient, docile, with all the room and a high enough take off weight to make a difference. Just a thought.
I'm sold. These planes are excellent! Yes, please get an RV14.
I’m thinking about building a rv-12 I’m only a 13 year old and love the luxury of home built airplanes, and how airplanes work. Your videos have shown me that flying is a fun activity and that I now may become a pilot. Even though I’m 13! I’m still considering buying a building a rv-12 to fly with my mom (also a pilot) to see if she likes it more then her Rv-10 (also a homebuilt aircraft.) I love your videos! Keep up the great work!
Build the 14! It would be a great filler for the off weeks you have for flying videos. Maybe I’ll have my 7 done by the time you finish your 14. Good luck keep pounding rivets!
My high school flight program is building an rv-12 it’s pretty cool to see it all come together
Love this video to show the RV family! We built an RV-7 and are currently working on building an RV-10. They are wonderful aircraft!
My dad works with an organisation that teaches kids about aviation. The oldest kids (14-18) actually build one of these planes.
They have a *BUNCH* of "do-overs"
Get an RV-14 and get it painted like the Canadian T6 you fly.
That's kinda the plan - Yellow base coat and I'd love to throw some blue highlights and the FC logo some how tastefully
- But yeah, it would be sort of an honorary "Yellow Bird" and fly in formation with them!
(as well as be a support plane for events / trips with the fleet.)
It would be fresh, most people usually go the Mustang route for the paint job.
Nah paint the T6 like an RV
@@FlightChops put the FC logo where the RCAF roundels on the T6 goes (on the wings and aft fuselage)
I live like 30 min fro aurora, my very first solo was at aurora! That was before they had a tower there. So glad to see you fly in my neck of the woods!
Great video as always, and I would love to see a build series. That being said, if what you're after the finished product rather than having a desire to build something with your hands I suggest you consider buying a used RV. There are many projects that get started and not finished as people lose momentum due to the long timeframe required. Either way, whatever way you decide to go I'm sure we'll enjoy watching!
I would absolutely watch you build a 14! Tailwheel all the way!
And love the test pilot / instructor from Vans. He is so cool, clear and conscious. Would be my instructor of choice.
Agreed - Mike is great to fly with!
You may or may not see this but I just wanted to say that I come back to this video often as a reminder of what’s possible. My high school is currently building the RV-12is. As I write this we are currently finishing the stabilator. It’s always refreshing to come back and see what our end goal is.
Awesome to hear this! Report back through your project!
@@FlightChops Will do, I have an Instagram that I have been posting and will continue to post the updates on if u want to check it out, it’s also my form of proof that I am actually doing this 😅. The Instagram is braylenfab
Would love to see a series of you doing a build of the model of your choice. It would provide lots of insight on just what to expect if its something a person is considering. GREAT IDEA.
Get the RV-14, be a great series! Great video as always
Definitely do the build. I am building a Vans 9A and it's a blast. Can't wait until I'm done and flying though. Hopefully next year!
An RV14 build would be great to follow!
Great videos Steve. Glad to see you getting some new ideas. I loved the RV-14 as well and would love to see the build process.
Yes, I'll follow the RV14 build with lots of attention, Thumbs up from me!!
If you get an rv14 kit I will watch every build episode, twice.
Do the build, it would be awesome!
My dream Van’s kit would be a high wing STOL capable single that could use floats or bush tires. Basically a Van’s 185.
Steve, this series has been great! Of course we want to watch you build the 14!
Watching this brings back the memory of the one time I got to fly with my father in his rv-8 before he passed away.
The build part looks fun -- you rock it, I'll watch it.
I'm not sure if the RV-10 isn't the better deal over the 14, but you need to be happy with the purchase. I would really enjoy watching you build either. Happy flying!
Love to see you make an RV12 go for it.
FlightChops, When are you going to try your hand at flying the Dash 8? How hard can it be? Just head over to SeaTac in Seattle and ask Alaska for a quickflight around Puget Sound! Actually, ya, sad story and no answer for the family why after all of that! Great videos ...dont forget to come visit us in Abbotsford, BC....The famous Abbotsford Air Show is in August as well as the smaller 5 hour airshow east of here in Chilliwack, if theres enough volunteers lol....then dont forget the Cabri helicopters at BC Helicopters, made famous in the flight simulator Xplane 11! So there you go,...many good reasons for visiting us this year. Oh, by the way BCHelicopters is also the vlogger of "Pilot Yellow" on TH-cam. Oh ya, youre a fixed wing pilot...oh well, never too late!
RV14 build totally approved! 👍
I’m documenting a Rv-7 build here in bc Canada obviously not the same flair for videos as your self but check out the build process to date. A real life view.
that's awesome!
Freaking hell I'd love videos about the building process of the RV14!! Go for it Steve
Definitely in favor of an RV build series! Already making me start to consider VANS more seriously.
I’d like to see a series of videos building a kit airplane
"I'm not used to side-by-side aircraft." My heart breaks for you that you fly so many airplanes you're not used to side-by-side now. LOL Love the videos. This renews my dream of having an RV.
The struggle is real :P
@@FlightChops - we do see how hard you work and how hard you worked before anyone really knew "Flight Chops". Now, I'll bet you couldn't walk through any aviation event without getting recognized and stopped often. Oh, and please build an RV-14. It would be a great video series to follow the build process and I think you'd love having your own airplane.
I would definitely watch the build process from start to finish!
A build series for the rv14 would be awesome
I know this is an old one, but I'll be flying 317VA tomorrow morning and this is definitely getting me excited
Wow! Old man Van himself! Hats off to a great man!
Go for it! Would enjoy the RV14 build vlog. Really enjoyed the 2 part RV series.
Please, please, please! Get an RV-14 and document the build process. That would be awesome.
@FlightChops your video series offer up enough basic knowledge of how planes work, that you have raised my interest level: now I'm calling flight schools, checking out their websites and reviews. You've made flying seem within reach of ordinary people, we who didn't grow up around miilitary aviators or other non-commercial pilots. From the realm of hyperaware atheletes, cyborgs and magicians, to the realm of ordinary humans.
I'd compare it to spinning up small locomotive. Many fluids, channels and tanks to check and assess. Certain combinations of knobs and settings make a plane ready to takeoff, to land, to climb, etc;
Those are really cool and surprisingly affordable planes.
After years of flying, I would love to try manufacturing and assembling an aircraft, all of the stamping, cutting and bending processes seem enormously fun!
I would love to see the RV build process. Especially from a first timers perspective!
I would follow that RV-14 build! Very interesting aircraft, and one that I am interested in as well
Outstanding video Steve, waiting for your next one. Shalom
Steve, before you get the RV14, try the RV 3 and the RV 4 tandem single seat and two seat
The build process would be awesome.
I'll watch you build!
Would love to see a build series on the RV-14!
I will definitely watch you build an RV!
Those truly are some of the best home built aircraft on the market today. I've seen some that would rival a Rolls Royce for the interior finish.
I would love a RC-14 build vlog
Build an rv-14!! I’d watch the whole series
I would definitely follow your RV14 build! I am considering that model myself and after watching these two videos, I’m even closer to pulling the trigger! Good luck!
Right on! Glad to hear that! If you go for it - don't forget to mention to them so I can put the referral fee toward production costs while covering my build :P (if I do it - still deciding :P)
Congrats, Steve! I just started plans building a Hummel Ultracruiser a few weeks ago! Just about done with my bulkheads. Hope to fly into Osh and say hello in a year or two!
Really interested in a series on the build process. I was at Vans several months ago and flew in the 9, the 14 wasn’t available... My goal is to stop the dream and start a project in the next few years. That demo flight had me sold on Vans. Love the channel!
