Hey! I'm Rory. I live in Perth Western Australia. I am a passionate pilot/aircraft owner, and small business owner. This channel provides a means for me to share my passions in life. I'm a highly motivated, self driven, goal focused person. I achieve everything through my own laser focus and drive. I come from a humble background and everything I have in life is through my own hard work and dedication.
I would not be the person I am today without aviation in my veins. Becoming a pilot when I was 22 has always defined me as a person. Learning to fly facilitates one of the most profound changes in a person. It teaches you self confidence, discipline, decision making, trust in your own ability, a unique prospective on the world, risk management, situational awareness, how to plan and execute, ability to thrive in a dynamic and ever changing environment. I would not be where I am today without the skill learnt through aviation. Hopefully I can inspire you to take the leap too.

Pitts Perfection Sunset Aerobatics
Переглядів 992 роки тому
I have no words! Beautiful plane, beautiful sky, beautiful planet. Strap in for 6 minutes of Pitts perfection. This one of my most memorable flights to date. Pulling up into a half-cuban and seeing my trail cut into the sunset-lit clouds as I skimmed the tops as far as the eye could see was out of this world. This is why we fly!
First Pitts formation flight over Perth Western Australia. WE NEARLY HIT A FLOCK OF BIN CHICKENS!

Join me and 2 buddies for a formation flight over Perth southern suburbs. This is my first formation flight in my new to me Pitts Special S1S. We had to aggressively maneuver to avoid hitting a flock of Ibis aka- Bin Chickens. Was exciting to finally do a formation flight with my friends as we had been talking about it for ages while waiting for my Pitts to arrive.

Join me for a session of landings on my second flight out in my new to me Pitts Special S-1S. When I was waiting for my Pitts to arrive I could never find many good videos of Pitts landings so hopefully this will be of benefit to another budding Pitts Pilot! Enjoy.
Awesome!
I have about 70 hours of TW. Do you think I’ll be able to handle a s1s?
Nicely done, what kind of tailwheel experience do you have prior to Pitts? Just bought a share of a S1SS, i have very limited tailwheel experience.
Hi Pete. Thanks for the comment. I have about 350hours total tail wheel time in Jabiru tail wheel, RV6, Super D, Skyfox and a small amount in a couple of others. If your low time I would suggest a Pitts specific checkout. They are not as bad as people make them out to be but still a bit to handle if you don't have much tailwheel time 😁 Where are you based?
@@roryhicks2058 Ended up doing my training on a christen Eagle 2 from The front seat. Did solo in My Pitts a week ago. No problems, awesome plane, cant wait to fly it More.
Nice job bud. Looks like you did great! Locking tailwheel or non?
Hi Nate Thanks for the comment. Yes mine has the haigh locking tailwheel. Quite like it actually. Sill quite a lot of ability to steer on the runway at speed though even with it locked which is a good thing.
Awesome....thanks Rory. I needed inspiration, though I think you are a little hard on yourself in the comments!
Hey Martin. Thanks for the comment. Ha yes that is me I'm pretty critical of myself. I am doing ok at it! Also if you decide you dont want to do thats Pitts project of yours I will take it over ;)
