Old Warden Airfield Rwy 02 approach & landing. Vans RV-7 G-RVAH 11-Aug 2024
Flight to Old Warden airfield near Bedford, England. Home of the Shuttleworth Collection of classic aircraft. Attended Family Weekend Air Show and saw a fabulous air display on a beautiful summer's afternoon. Unfortunately the oldest aircraft (Edwardian Collection) could not fly due to the wind strength. Very warm welcome by the staff and volunteers. Would recommend a visit especially for one of the air show days.

Henstridge Wings & Wheels Fly-In Rwy 24 landing. Vans RV-7 G-RVAH 26-Aug 2023
Переглядів 355Рік тому
Great day out at the Henstridge Wings & Wheels fly-in. Had to do several orbits to allow a Seafire to do a couple of runs & breaks, but enjoyed a bird's eye view of it. Busy radio due the number of movements but all very professionally handled by the team at Henstridge. Lots of classic cars and visitors despite the showery weather. Recommended as a great place to visit.

A great trip to the LAA Grass Roots Fly-in at Popham on 2-Sep-2022. Video shows an overhead join with left hand circuit for runway 03. The tall tree on short final is a bit off-putting :) My landing window was 10:30-11:00 local time. I landed at 10:35.

Vans RV-7 wheel shimmy / vibration 01 Aug 2021. After installing wooden stiffeners film from behind.
Переглядів 4583 роки тому
Testing wooden stiffeners on the main landing gear legs to see how the resolved our problem with shimmy / vibration. As you can see the problem is largely resolved. By filming from behind we were trying to detect side to side oscillation which might indicate a tracking problem due to bent legs. There was some minor oscillation but nothing severe.

Unboxing of this British made cycle light set. The TRACE Mk2 and TRACER have 125 and 75 lumens respectively. I bought them mainly for day use in order to improve my visibility since they have a distinctive DayBright flash pattern. In the video I compare them with the Cateye Volt200 (front) and Moon Nebula (rear) lights which although they have higher lumen outputs I think they are less visible ...

Nice landing! had some fun last week working on getting accustomed to my own airstrip with my RV6 ua-cam.com/video/K7zolzFgdTk/v-deo.html
Very nice, I'm envious, looks great fun✌️👍💜😊
Golf Alpha Hotel - nice landing, no shimmy - Jeremy Clarkson is always looking for new ways to make money from his farm. Maybe an aerodrome? All the best as ever.
Thanks Rich, good idea for Clarkson's farm, as long as he doesn't try drag racing his tractors when I'm trying to land 😂
Nice review!

Very useful overview, thanks. Have you tried updating software using the AV link? I cannot update mine using an IOS device, despite following the update instructions.
Hi David, yes I updated the AV-30 to software version 2.4.1 using the AV-Link. I followed the instructions in the 2.4.1 Service Bulletin and it worked OK for me from my ipad mini. Best regards, Chris.
@@ctbyoung Thanks Chris. I tried with an iPad with absolutely no joy. The iPad finds the avlink wifi but does nothing else. Also, the update software app from Uavionix just displays as a Microsoft windows file, which the iPad cannot cope with & just sulks!
Thank you for the review.
Can use this as sak alternative for light usage other than gardaning floral?
Yes I don't see why not 👍
What an amazing piece of avionics. 👍
Great unit, looking to add one to my RV6
Did my seaplane with trevor. Great CFI
"Promosm"
I have two pieces of the tail light and one white front, just in case they are discontinued :D Great lights. I also have a Moon Meteor Storm Pro from Moon and it's also great.
Does the charge light change when it's fully charged?
Hi, yes it goes from flashing blue to steady blue once fully charged.
i’ll be doing this one day in the future
Hi good video I just seen these in a shop. Are you based in Marlow?
Can it mount horizontally under the seat instead of vertically?
I’ve been using Moon lights for years and they’re super solid and reliable. A highly underrated brand that sneaks under the radar of a lot of riders.
thank you you have made the purchase easier for me by the video
How much did it cost after everything?
Hi, overall the cost was just below USD.$2000. It would cost more if you require more time for training. Hope this helps , Chris
Hi. Thanks for posting this review. Could you tell me if the lights can be used to see in the dark or is it just to be noticed. Thank you
Hi Lee, I would say it is mainly for being seen. It is not really strong enough for seeing your way if it is very dark. Regards, Chris.
@@ctbyoung hi. Thanks for this information and your reply. Regards
@Lee Edwards Hi Lee. If you want a really good well built front light I'd go for the Hope R2i. It's expensive but you won't need to buy another light. I've got a Exposure TraceR at the back and Hope R2i for the front and that should be my lights totally sorted for a very long time.
@@Mark.Cleworth thank you Mark for the reply and advice. Will look into these lights.
Nice
Bravo Chris, tu as réussi à sauter les alligators ! Good job 👍👏
Great review. Many thanks.
DO NOT BUY THESE LIGHTS. I have 7 of them, 3 have failed, hardly any use, they just stop working for no reason, I'm here as yet another has died, never been in rain or mud, I love the light but sadly they just fail. Shame.
Great plane, I would love to fly to Glenforsa one day!
Great review
Great review. Thank you.
Hi, thanks for the Rosetta video. Could you let me know what power unit you used with you install please? Thanks.
Hi Allan, it was the Anker 12V Power Supply which came with the PilotAware installation kit. It is also available separately via Amazon, here is the link: www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-Charger-PowerIQ-Technology-Motorola-black/dp/B00VH84L5E?ref_=ast_sto_dp
Over the numbers at 80kts?. Left hand upwind for a windsock check?
Hi Michael, yes I normally would be at 70kts but when the wind is strong or there is reported wind shear I carry more speed. Yes I overflew upwind to check the windsock and any obstacles on the runway. Best regards, Chris.
😎
I love it
Excellent video, thanks for posting. When looking at decent lights, pattern and options are all-important but usually only given cursory mention in reviews. The effort put in to this is much appreciated - especially the comparison side by side. Thanks.
Beautiful views on the approach, charming.
Is this the $100 helmet?
I'm not sure about the pricing in $. In this UK it is £150 (Ambush), whereas the Ambush Comp is the lower spec and is £110. Hope this helps.
@@ctbyoung ok, thanks!
Fantastic informative review thanks
My RV-8 gets this problem. I found TIRE PRESSURE to be the primary culprit. I tried balancing the tires -that was only limited help. In my case, keeping tire pressure between 37psi and 30psi greatly reduced shimmy. Above 40psi the shimmy is severe.. I have noticed shimmy return below 27psi.. Good luck to you.. Try flying without pants and experimenting with different tire pressures in your RV.. Let us know what you find? (BTW. when I was experiencing the extreme shimmy -like yours, it managed to loosen the bolts that secure the axle to the main strut!! You may want to check that out.. Folks also recommended I check main strut attach in the airframe.. that was ok in my case)
Hi Tony, thanks for your advice on the tyre pressures. I'll try the pressure range you suggest and see how it works. Regards, Chris.
Downwind base and final all at 70 kts??? Please expedite the circuits 🤣

Hi grt video. How is gnc 255 with skyview. Are you able to operate 255 from dynon skyview.
Hi, thanks for the feedback. Yes the GNC255 integrates well with the Skyview you can set the course and follow an ILS approach on the autopilot. The only thing you cannot do is select a radio frequency this must be done directly on the GNC255.
@@ctbyoung thanks appreciate
Cuanto valen
Waste of money, I have this front and back for about a month and the front light I put it on charge it's show in 2h fully charged and holds on light only for 10 min, any one who wants to buy moon nebula, I will save them some money because I will give them for free, I got lezyne proper light
Thanks I did find this useful 👍
Great video!
Can you remove the visor?
Yes you can.
short field performance of the RV's is impressive, I am working on building a 2000' grass strip on my land starting summer of 2022
I have had a couple landings where the gear seemed to shimmy, I think the conditions have to be just right (or wrong) for the shimmy to happen (on my RV6 anyway) where the bumps in the runway, speed and tire balance all find the natural frequency of the gear legs. I have found light braking usually rectifies the shimmy. Great videos! haven't mounted the GoPro under the wing yet... coming soon :)
