This gentleman has been the most helpful man I've ever listened to on bush aircraft. He goes into everything. I have so much confidence in him, and his knowledge is encyclopedic. He is a really nice man to listen to.
Rim=wheel Wheel half + o-ring + spud + tie bolts + wheel half = wheel assembly Tire+tube+flap+wheel=tire and wheel assembly That's how I differentiate. Good video thanks for posting
Bush flying is not really interesting for me but I wanted anyway to thank you for not stuffing as many ads as possible in your video as some of the other channels are doing... cheers!
I found your little nugget very interesting about the flap on the Bearhawk blocking rudder authority. Since we're on the cusp of decision making on a 4 place cub, im going to talk to Kirk about that. Moving the flap a foot away from the fuselage. As well as a lotta other stuff.
@@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 as it turns out, because of seeing your bearhawk, we're 75% sure we're going with a Bearhawk 5. Thinking that it will have a better useful load. And on amphibs.
great to see the Seldovia Intergalactic Spaceport in all its splendor. please show more of your 170b mods. what's the panel like? atlee dodge back seats? floats? skis? do you know anyone who's running the xp ti gear on 170? thanks again for posting such thoughtful and comprehensive content.
What year 170 is that. I love that plane. Whats the HP rating and engine type. . I noticed it has a non rounded tail rudder vs the regular 170b has a rounded tail.
Nice video but plenty of room for more explaing wow and what makes plane work , I been looking at Murphy radical plane , I don't see much on this plane not sure why maybe too expensive for a fit plane from b c Canada, Murphy been in the game long time
Hey John, I have just bought a Cherokee fuselage with tail section and wings, think its a 6 seater not sure. There is no data plate. I need help. Do yo I think I can make it a bush plane even though its a low wing?
Opinions vary. I've heard some say as little as 10 kts all the way to 35 kts. If you're going from the smallest 'stock' tires to the largest available, I'd say closer to the 35 mentioned. No personal experience myself as I'm sticking with the 8.5x6's on my Maule for now. Skal, ^v^
FYI: The belt zip tied to your motor, the belt will degenerate from hot-cold-hot-cold. You can spray belt dressing to extend it's life I'm guessing 8-12 PSI for your tires?
Can you do a video covering what happens if you turn only using the rudder and keep wings level. Saw a RC video and well respected chap saying this is a safe way to turn at low altitude. Coming from full size gliding years ago and now flying RC I was always taught coordinated flight was the safest. Can you comment or do avideo covering this please. (Flat turn with rudder only, possible opposite aileron ) many thanks
Turning with rudder while keeping the wings level (if that’s what you mean) is a skidding turn. If you stall while skidding, there is a good chance of a spin developing. You mentioned the R/C guy doing this at low level. Don’t ever do this, you can’t recover from a spin at low altitude. You are correct, a coordinated turn is safer. Slipping is generally safe as well, just don’t skid.
@@alexmoreland7938 Thanks Alex for the advice. I thought what he was saying was wrong but doubted myself. Now you mention skidding turn I understand. Cheers
I've been looking to buy (no, I do not believe I have the skills to build one) a back country STOL bush plane that not only has excellent STOL capabilities but is also extremely maneuverable and reliable. Money is not as large of an issue as preformance, reliability, and safety. Currently with a $300,000 budget, what would you recommend?
the prop thinghy, if zou keep adding power (actual hp, kW) to a 2 bladed prop you would start to loose efficiency. thats where 3+ bladed props kick in. also, a tire is a tire, on a bicycle, motorbike, tractor, gocart, car, truck, airplane. cessna or 737. wheel hub/rim is another. together they make a wheel (assembly; as per boeing/airbus/crj/canadair/atr amm) as we know it
Excellent video!!! I’m a VFR private pilot, own and fly a Cessna172. Thinking about flying the coast up to Alaska, it would be June or July, any advice?
If you don't, fly the eastern slope of the Rockies to Northern BC/Alberta then follow the VFR route through the Yukon to Alaska. The coastal weather is a killer without experience.
Why not sit down at your laptop computer and write a Script...then record the Script separate from the Video? Succinct. Professional. And half to one-third as long.
As a non flyer, but someone who really enjoys flying videos, this was extremely educational and interesting. Now I know! Thanks!
Thts great buddy!!!!
Go for a hour tour! U might just fall In love! Thts what got me hooked!!
This gentleman has been the most helpful man I've ever listened to on bush aircraft. He goes into everything. I have so much confidence in him, and his knowledge is encyclopedic. He is a really nice man to listen to.
Pretty darn comprehensive rundown!!! Hope you guys are doing good!!!
Thanks! We're enjoying the sun in Utah for now! Lots of winter projects lined up!

Awesome presentation…I used to be a bush pilot in Africa, C185 ,Robertson…!!!
How awesome. ..you were so blessed to fly in South Africa. .....I really like the Bush Cat by Sky Reach
One of the best videos on aviation I have ever seen
Really great guide. It's usually hard to come by this kind of information. I enjoy your style of explaining a lot
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, love it.
thanks for the free education

Let us know how the cub works out! Looks like Kirk builds some sick airplanes!

If you had to choose between the Cessna and experimental which would you prefer? Your ground school was awesome! Passed my test with ease!!
Aren't you supposed to treat that propeller like a possible live propeller that could start up the engine and hurt you?
Yep!!!!
Thanks love you GROUND SCHOOL
Thanks! Glad to hear!
Hope you guys are fairing well in this horrible wind we have right now
Super useful introduction. Thanks!! Would you consider Maule MX7-180 a capable “family friendly” bush plane? What major mods would you do first?
Hi John What about slats on the wings?
Great info.
Great info for flight interest.
Great info for flight understanding.
Great!
👍
great to see the Seldovia Intergalactic Spaceport in all its splendor. please show more of your 170b mods. what's the panel like? atlee dodge back seats? floats? skis? do you know anyone who's running the xp ti gear on 170? thanks again for posting such thoughtful and comprehensive content.
Great run down. Be great to get a pricing breakdown of them.
A wheel is any circular object with an ability to attach to an axle of sorts. A rim is the hunk of metal that replaced spokes. A tire is the rubber.
Great information to have, thanks for sharing
I can only find the plane names t-shirt on your website what about the hoodie you're wearing how can I buy one of those? Awesome video by the way!
Thanks for the education
glad you liked it!
Excellent stuff bro
What year 170 is that. I love that plane. Whats the HP rating and engine type. . I noticed it has a non rounded tail rudder vs the regular 170b has a rounded tail.
can we make a hybrid solar please? Cant run out of fuel and/or can power tools and accesories
Good info. Thanks.
very nice video!
What air pressure do you run in your tires. I assume you use Nitrogen not air.
Great job. Excellent explanation.
Perfect, now I just need an airplane!
If you jack your plane up too high to where you can’t see put a camera on the bottom of the nose and put a display inside the cockpit
Nice video but plenty of room for more explaing wow and what makes plane work , I been looking at Murphy radical plane , I don't see much on this plane not sure why maybe too expensive for a fit plane from b c Canada, Murphy been in the game long time
Great video! Of all the mods on the 170 I cant believe he didn't mention the engine conversion though...The most expensive one for sure!
Yes the engine upgrade is the best mod that you can make for Bush Flying. Let me know which engine you would like. Stoots Aviation
Hey John, I have just bought a Cherokee fuselage with tail section and wings, think its a 6 seater not sure. There is no data plate. I need help. Do yo I think I can make it a bush plane even though its a low wing?
How much speed penalty for the big vs stock wheel/tires?
Opinions vary. I've heard some say as little as 10 kts all the way to 35 kts. If you're going from the smallest 'stock' tires to the largest available, I'd say closer to the 35 mentioned. No personal experience myself as I'm sticking with the 8.5x6's on my Maule for now. Skal, ^v^
It still has 2 pads per wheel, it has twice the clamping force of a single piston caliper.
Depending on the pad size and piston surface area. I'm pretty sure my supercub had Aztec wheels and brakes. There's that wheel word again ...
Excellent video I am very impressed, thank you.
Very cool - Jon ! Enjoyed it
Do you consider putting logo stickers all over a plane a good mod for a plane with a beautiful paint job?
Nice video
Very informative video!
Hope you and Steph had a happy thanksgiving!
Thanks Nick, hope you had a great thanksgiving as well!
Great video man!
One question
Was an STC necessary to get the 175 wing on the 170 or did I understand it wrong haha.
Thanks!
Hub+tire=wheel
FYI: The belt zip tied to your motor, the belt will degenerate from hot-cold-hot-cold. You can spray belt dressing to extend it's life
I'm guessing 8-12 PSI for your tires?

Love these airplanes, I hope to have one someday
I would see this mod done on ultralights like minimax.
Is there a way to ask you questions but not public
Great video!
I've been looking to buy (no, I do not believe I have the skills to build one) a back country STOL bush plane that not only has excellent STOL capabilities but is also extremely maneuverable and reliable. Money is not as large of an issue as preformance, reliability, and safety. Currently with a $300,000 budget, what would you recommend?
Carbon cub
Looking forward to the Backcountry training.
the prop thinghy, if zou keep adding power (actual hp, kW) to a 2 bladed prop you would start to loose efficiency. thats where 3+ bladed props kick in.
also, a tire is a tire, on a bicycle, motorbike, tractor, gocart, car, truck, airplane. cessna or 737.
wheel hub/rim is another.
together they make a wheel (assembly; as per boeing/airbus/crj/canadair/atr amm) as we know it
rude, me. like! cant wait to get my ppl done
buddy has the gift of gab...in a good way.
I kept waiting to see an eagle get that little dog.
Hi, what do you think about adding a cargo pod to the Bearhawk?
What airplane is that
24:00 Where it is?
Good job, boy! :-)
Slingin Rocks!!! :)
Excellent video!!!
I’m a VFR private pilot, own and fly a Cessna172.
Thinking about flying the coast up to Alaska, it would be June or July, any advice?
Lots...most of all, find someone who's done the trip before to go with
If you don't, fly the eastern slope of the Rockies to Northern BC/Alberta then follow the VFR route through the Yukon to Alaska. The coastal weather is a killer without experience.
Just buy a 180...
Nitrogen…???
Actually, you make a confusion between wheel and rim.
Wheel = Rim + Tyre
No
@@jameskiceiii6856 Yes. @Vzmax is correct.
Excellent! but please cut on the coffee
Lucky for you I’m not a coffee drinker...just water😉
Sorry, I don't really trust anyone wearing flip flops and not at a pool.
Good report, thanks, but the background music is annoying and it doesn’t do anything for the intelligibility.
Why not sit down at your laptop computer and write a Script...then record the Script separate from the Video? Succinct. Professional. And half to one-third as long.
Dude do you know the difference between a 170 and a 172? You sound like Joe Biden😅
The music with you talking is very annoying. That way I gave it a thumbs down. Otherwise is was a nice informative video.
In Alaska Uber drivers pick you up in a Bush plane! 😁
Great Video!
Glad you enjoyed it! We'll be launching our bush pilot course on fly8ma.com soon!
