I really appreciate you saying that. Will do -

Heard. We'll be rolling out work-in-progress shorts as soon as we got 'em.

Hi Mike, this was the second video we put up on UA-cam. Check out the channel, every Strikemaster video after this one has flight time (minus the paint restoration of course). I agree it much more fun to fly than chat, but UA-cam algorithm doesn't always agree...😂

Previous owner replaced the engine. Not 100% sure why they did that... The engine got separated from the car and I was unable to find it (unfortunately). I do have the original numbers-matching transmission however.

Hey thanks Phil! ✈

You're the man Alex 😎

Hey! It was great talking to you yesterday as well. Thank you for your service, and I look forward to chatting with you again -

@@AirtimeTony you will for sure thank you

That is very kind of you to say. I do feel truly blessed indeed, and I hope the same for you as well.

We'll see you soon Phil!

I learned in a Cherokee 140, fixed gear, love those Hershey bar wings.

Thanks!

It is the Garmin TXi EIS Dedicated Turboprop Engine Monitoring System. Thank you for your question!

Hey Gary! Good question - the seats are not hot. We did a lot of ground testing through Code 1 . We literally ran an entire tank of Jet Fuel through it on engine and hydraulic tests, and multiple gear swings. Thanks for asking -

This channel has been a lot of fun for my daughter and I. We're aiming to make each video entry a little better than the last. Comments like this go a long way for us. Thanks much.

Thanks for the question, let me check that number and get back to you on that... 👍

Thanks for your patience. The avionics took about 150 lbs out of the airplane. However, we put approximately 150 lbs back in the front to maintain the CG for the airplane. So, the actual weight savings ended up being negligible.

Thank you! We are getting ready to re-upholster the seat, and put new carpet in. We will film it, and make sure to put that up too. We're also starting restoration on a 1970 Corvette Convertible. So that should be pretty fun. 👍

Great question. The short answer is no, you cannot see forward from the rear seat. The plane is landed 3-point, due to the large propeller that would make wheel landings dangerous and unnecessary. I fly a military style approach whenever possible, which means I am in a constant radius turn until flair. This allows me to see the runway clearly, until I set up for the flair. Then, I look side-to-side between the wing and the tail to keep the airplane centered until she settles in and lands. It's very similar to how you would land a WWII aircraft like a T6 or a Corsair. 👍

Thanks, it's lots of fun. I plan on posting some more advanced aerobatic videos soon.

Honestly, to me, what is more important right now is regional support. This is a fantastic airplane, but it requires being plugged into a network of people who can sources the parts and do the maintenance. If you've got that much, you have it made. I don't have much interaction with corporate, as I focus on Pre-Evo birds... Piaggio is still doing some reorganizing right now, and I hope to see them come out the other side as a much stronger company. This is an amazing aircraft that deserves great support. 👍 I manage several of these birds, and work on several more (as you can see). The key is to stay ahead of project needs. Great question my friend -

It is a LOT of fun... and I could not agree with you more! Flew from Florida to Rockford, IL.... and back to Florida on airlines x5 times due to scrubs 😂😆 Didn't even add up what that cost me, cause you can't put a price on safety. Glad to have you here in the channel.

Thank you! My daughter edits these for me, and she really appreciates it.
