My pleasure

Hey Gary, good point but there are two reasons. One this video is purely for showing how to maintain the brake fluid no matter what fluid you have in the reservoir. It’s applicable if you have 87257c or 5606. And second have you ever dealt with Mooney brakes? I don’t want to have to bleed them if I don’t have to. I had no leaks in my system so no concerns of fire too. Hope you enjoyed the video other than that.

Hey Justin did you end up getting one? I still love mine.

I kept the battery charged because my 201 had electric flaps:) I’m guessing Mooneys with hydraulic flaps have a similar reservoir like the brakes someplace. I would keep them topped off in a similar way. Check out Mooneyspace.com for additional info for mooneys.

I’ll have to do that!

Sure there is, if I’m filling the reservoir once a month I have a problem. This video highlights the procedure in checking your fluids to make sure you don’t have a problem. On my 201, I had a small leak on the pilot side caliper. At every annual I would clean it up and check the fluid and add about a half an inch of a straw worth of fluid as well.

It is definitely a great saw.

You’ll love it. If it was lighter it would be my best gun, but still without a doubt it’s the funnest gun I have!!!!

@Charles McKenna I definitely plan to get a Blue Force Gear M240 or M249 sling and probably a barrett carry handle for it too. Just one of my considerations

@@lukelacross190 let me know what handle you get and how you attach it. I would love one on mine as well. It’s been hard finding any accessories for it since it’s kind of an orphan…

@Charles McKenna in a weird twist, I actually bought a 29" barrel M82. Now I don't have to worry about a handle but I couldn't find any during my research that woukd work. There were some on Amazon but they weren't nearly as sturdy it seems

@@lukelacross190 that’s cool, you’ll love the 82. While I was sighting my R2mi my buddy was there with his 82. Bad ass gun!!!! Send me a clip when you are sending rounds down range…

I’m working on an introduction video right now. I’ve been sick the last few days and got behind. She is fully electric and a great cross country IMC capable plane. I love her:)

I do love it!!!

Just bought mine today.

Will do, hope you enjoyed the video.

Cool, thanks for the info and hope you enjoyed the video.

Hope you enjoyed the video!!!

Hello from the USA. glad you enjoyed the video! That is impressive to cut firewood everyday with a 345! I am loving my 500i, right now the forests are closed due to fire danger. But I look forward when everything opens up and I get to go cut with it.

@@charlesmckenna6164 OK FRIEND HAVE A NICE DAY

Appreciate the support!!!:)

Thank you. It was a fun flight

Great to hear Jim! Glad I could help out. Last time I was in Australia was in 97’ seem like another trip is well deserved...:)

The first starts the hardest. Since Ive been running it for the last year I never need to and plan on putting a plug in it so it never leaks.

Yeah I love my 880 for milling. But a band saw is in the future for sure!!

@@charlesmckenna6164, we got a Woodland 126 with the 14hp. Very well made machine.

That is my preferred machine!! Should do everything I ask of it.

@@charlesmckenna6164, yup you bet. We are going to have some fun with it. Dad is making a runout table for it so that will makes things nice. What did you take you’re pilot training in?

I did my training in N5355Q, she is a Cessna 152. She is still a trainer at the same school. The mechanic I use for the Mooney is on the same field so the week I spend doing the annual on the Mooney in the evenings I will fly 55Q:) I love that plane.

That’s great. I love flying, and maybe someday I’ll make a careerist of it. Just remember it’s never to late to get your license!!! Get out there and start flying:) If you’re ever in the Oregon area we could go up for a flight.

@@charlesmckenna6164, that would be great Charles. I'll keep that in mind. Iv only been to OR a couple times back in 1997. I hauled a couple loads of potatoes out of North West OR to Winnipeg Manitoba Canada. I'll check out some more of you’re videos! 🤙🏼

Great, hope you enjoy them.

Hey Glen, one of your comments asked me to email you but it looks like I can’t see it now?

@@charlesmckenna6164, thats odd. Either can i. I'll try it again lol. glcampbell75@gmail.com

You won’t regret it!!!!

@@charlesmckenna6164, i believe you lol My saw collection keeps growing. I'm thinking the 500 will become my main saw though.

@@echoglen8649 last year I sold my 046, 066, and Husky 372 and bought the 500i, 661, and an 880 mainly for milling. I love the 500i

@@charlesmckenna6164, i bought a 661 last fall. She is a sweetie! lol Its got the wrap and the Arctic package so it has heated hand grips. Iv also got a old Husky 181, a two year old Echo 680, a new Echo 501P, and a few others. A pioneer P41 that is minty, my Dad bought it in 1985. And to think 2.5 years ago all i had was the P41 and my Stihl 291. 😁

@@charlesmckenna6164, unfortunately they are not making the 500i with heated grips.

David, it’s my pleasure. Someone else asked that I turn down the music when I’m chatting so the next video I will make sure I do that. Thank you for your feed back and I don’t know if my comments are very interesting but it will make them easier to hear....:)

Glad you enjoyed the video. The airspace over Hanford is not restricted. I’ve been flying over it the last 7-8 years and it’s been that way. I gather from other pilots they lifted it about 10 years ago. They ask to fly above 1,800 msl and I was flying at 2,200 but I could have flown lower than the 1,800’. I fly into Richland about every other month. If you’re interested in a flight around there let me know.

@@charlesmckenna6164 how is it possible to fly lower than 1,800 there? I was contemplating flying my paramotor on the north eastern portion above the bluffs where the sand dunes are, but it's within the NSA. Is there a way to get around this restriction?

@@StephenMartin001 hey Stephen, if you look at the sectional it says pilots are requested, not required. So legally you can fly lower. I can’t post a picture of the sectional on here. I was flying at 2,200 just to be less obnoxious. But I doubt they would even notice you there.

I couldn’t agree more! Thank you for your kind words and glad you enjoyed the video. There is definitely a lot of history there!!!

Thank you, and thanks for the added info. Hope you enjoyed the video. I have a few friends that work and train there. I’ve always thought it was weird they keep the restricted airspace up around it even though all the munitions are gone.

@@charlesmckenna6164 yea no problem, a friend I work with is a pilot and also a broker and so I have learned lots in a few months. Will take a look at your other videos. Crater lake had nice views. I am around Lewiston Idaho, nice flight area up this way if you get bored. Look into the hells canyon area.

@@dannyboydkj7bpn the Snake would be a great flight. The editing and some of the video was not very good on the actual Crater Lake leg. But I’m learning..:) Thanks for checking out the channel!!! I’ve been into Lewiston once but always up for returning.

She misses you too. I need my flight review this month if you want to come up to Oregon. We can go check out Hanford again ;)

Ahh... it's a busy month for me... but come to Vegas, and I'll take care of you!

I would be on my way if I could!

Jason,,, you’re awesome! I will use all of those in my time stamps! Lots of history in a small area

So that kind of means my Thumbnail is misleading :( That’s a fail on my part. Thanks for the info!!!

That’s correct. The Columbia Generating Station run by Energy Northwest is strictly for power generation and is not associated with nuclear weapons production at Hanford. Energy Northwest simply leased the property to build the plant back when they were called WPPSS. Washington Public Power Supply System.

@@charlesmckenna6164 it's a very very common mistake. The hanford site is roughly the size of the state of Rhode island and most features that still exist are miles apart. You did catch the Central plateau including the Vitrification plant and part of the tank farms just before the steam plumes. It's was an interesting watch.

@@margaretsmoot4061 it’s all good. I love learning! Thank you...

Bet there are a lot of crazy things that’s gone on there :)

Hanford Patrol handled security. Several (5 I think) Cadillac Gage APCs, helicopter (2 I think). Lots of special training stuff. APCs are (or were) now local law enforcement staged around county. After Army thought about checking into but flooring kept me busy

Thanks for the info!

highly recommend it!!!!

Paul, thanks for the tips. I’m slowly getting the hang of editing. I’ve actually had the cameras for years but the editing of the flights is what held me back from doing anything with them. I’ve watched so many UA-cam videos of learning the art of getting the videos just right. Hopefully as the more I do it I’ll be able to incorporate all of the stages of flight into my clips. Any finer points I would love to hear them! I’m not the most artistic when it comes to seeing the whole picture. And in my last video I did had an intro I managed to put together with the beat of the music so hope good things are coming now that I see just how important that is to the viewer. If you’re ever out this way let me know!!!

Great to hear! I will have quite a few more videos specific to the J so hope you get use out of all of them. Enjoy your J, I love mine!!!

My normal alt that I raise them is 400’. That take off was actually pretty sketchy. There was a lot of rotor winds off the mountains, helicopters on Bravo taxi way, and sheer winds. It was a slow climb I was trying to get as much lift as I could for as long as reasonable. Matt my buddy next to me is a pilot as well and we discussed it and thought we also might have got some tail wind from the helicopter. It took awhile before I felt comfortable climate Vy and not Vx pitching the nose down that far.

My pleasure! More are coming starting today.

Definitely more of a pain, I have a video of it coming up after I do some other tasks in the engine compartment.Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy them.

glad to see this and look forward to the future videos

You should fly up here and we could make a video of removing the cowling on your B....:)

thank you I've enjoyed making them. its been awhile but more are coming starting today...

I can from my phone. But with all the WiFi and Bluetooth I have going on in the cockpit it will get shut off or loose it’s connection and I can’t turn it back on. I’ve lost what I think was “Academy award winning footage ;)” because it wasn’t running when I thought it... so this flight I just turned it on and let it run.

@@charlesmckenna6164 yeah, same here. Makes it hard for 2+ hour flights, have to land and change batteries

Yep, a friend is working on a setup to mount an external battery pack with the camera. He makes it with a 3 D printer. He pretty much has it perfected for his Cirrus. I’m starting the planning for the Mooney. I’ll let you know when we get it made up.

@@charlesmckenna6164 well count me in if you guys want to sell one.!

Thanks for the request and I’ll make sure I put them in the next leg. Let’s do some formation in Montana this year...:)

First posted video from the tail. Sometimes I like the shot, other times I don’t.

It was my pleasure, wish it would have been more though.

Charles, that t-shirt is great! I need one of those! 😂

@@echoglen8649 it is pretty cool!!!:)
