Great video Jon!

I have yet to get. To 10,000

there is another guy that got shaken down by a tribe the ones that gave him permission lied and tried to keep his plane until he went to court

Wow, more videos popping up of the natives not honoring their own permits, and trying to shake down and extort white men. Seems to be extremely common, and getting worse. I'm sure you've seen the video where they tried to take a guys Mooney.

The natives will shake down their own mother.

What the hell you want to get that hi for? You will do anything to make a UA-cam video.

My family has done a lot for the Indian tribes over the years.I'm so disappointed in how they act now.I won't even go to an indian casino ever again. I can also tell you.I understand the indians wanting other people to respect their land it's a big problem when you have land.

That’s sick

I bet I could find it with a drone

This is some spooky shit. You got robbed both literally and in the search trying to find it. They were up to something in there for sure

There is respect for tribal laws and rules and then there is being shaken down by the tribe. The incident, UA-cam vids, mentioned about a pilot who landed on a tribal unrestricted airstrip and then had the tribe wanting to confiscate his plane is an example.

interesting.

Was it 33.853003,-109.611721?

My old neighborhood... 😆

What a cool story!

Good morning Jon

A few questions: Do you have enough room on the nose wheel for a larger tundra type tire? And how many feet do you think you would need to clear 100' obstacle and also to drop in over same 100' obstacle and land full stop? My back yard is 1500' deep to the tree line.

Awesomeness!!!! Brings back good memories!

Hmmm.. I would consider umm aiding a powerhouse that has the redundancy, and some floats that only weigh a few pounds and can't be removed which let the plane weigh up to 330 pounds.. it uhh, still weighs 254lbs without the floats.. but the darn things just don't come off anymore to check.

EXCELLENT👍👍😎 CWS2 pilot

I have well over 1000 crow hopes. I’m a firm believer in doing them, you can learn a lot about yourself and your plane. But like you said, do them properly.

You end up with the stick in your gut, nose high with a 300 feet a minute descent, it wont break, it just sort of mushes along. Even power on stalls are a non event.

An opinion on a Kolb light-sport anyone?

Lol! The "Scam ad" was posted by someone who can't even spell...(but I'm sure you can trust his workmanship !-)

I have the same problem but a few of my bolts/posts just spin rather than tighten down. Are the bolt heads inside the wall?

Thanks for sharing good stuff I need to put more thought into an engine out possibility 👍🇺🇸

My challenger has been broken for 2 months and waiting on parts 😭 can’t wait to fly it again

Interesting, very easy stall tendency.

I couldn't stall mine

Very nice dude!

I have the Yaesu FTA-450. Great radio. I picked it up on sale with the rechargeable battery, headset adapter, alkaline battery tray for around $200. It takes a few minutes to understand programming favorites and setting up scans for all channels, or stored memory channels. The more you use it the easier it is to remember the setup - and to be able to find the squelch button by feel. In my area (a little further west) there is almost never any chatter on "fingers" (123.45). When it comes to stalls, the most surprising is the accelerated stall on the base to final turn. Especially if the pilot is trying to correct an overshoot from a too-long base leg. Know how your stall speed is affected by bank angle!

Im gonna need one of those fuel bags.

Have you ever done a falling leaf?

Challenger is one of the safest airplanes. Experimentals that you can fly. It has a 10 to 1 glide ratio. That is why you have a hard time stalling out with power on climbing. With power off, it will stall under stall speed. And once it gains speed, it will level it Self back out.. . If you're under speed ,then it will stall Coming in for final. That is your most dangerous time. It is best to keep your speed up. Around 40 to 45 miles an hour to be on the safe side. I'm 69 years old. I remember those challenges back in the 80s and 90s. That is a nice-looking challenger. Enjoy.🫵🫡‼️ Any dog is unpredictable, if not raised, right🫵‼️ Just like a child that grows up. Don't know how they're going to turn out even if you raise them right. They have a mind of their own dogs are the same way. I have raised pit bulls. All my life, I have one now. That is fully trained, and I've had one before. That was a therapy dog. They are very protective of their grounds. And of their owners. I also have a bull mastiff. And he is trained. They get along great, like brother and sister. But you can always get bad with the good and the good with the bad as flying. It's not to fear. It's always being cautious at all times you always think 2 times faster, then the airplane. Be ready for anything. The main thing you have to remember is to fly the airplane. With engine stalls.🫵‼️

The most dangerous thing I’ve ever seen, massive steel school bus beside the runway. Our Airpark would have someone put in jail for doing that.

Another great video! It gave me a feel of trying stall in summer time. I have not tried it in the summer yet. I just have not been comfortable to try as my Challenger always gets tossed around with thermals. I have done some stall practices in the winter at below freezing temperature. I was around 5500 ASL (field elevation here is around 3400 ASL) and wind was dead calm. The stall speed was around 35 mph. It was uneventful and easy to recover like you mentioned.

Can I purchase a Challenger kit direct from factory? Also the latest prices. I am from South Africa

Challenger stalls are so easy. I flew Thunderbird and Challenger. Thunderbird drop like a bag of cement and right wing drop. Challenger is one of the safest ultralights to fly.

Awesome content. You are giving me lots of confidence jumping into my Challenger here soon. Finishing up pilot permit - I think my first foray into my Challenger will be on skiis this winter.

In Canada, the Challenger 2 is classified as an ultralight. We don't have any classification that allows flight without a license. Even a powered parachute requires an "ultralight pilot permit, which consists mostly of the law, regulations, and basic flight skills. It prevents people from doing stupid things, that can create a hazard, and you can never carry passengers or fly into controlled airspace. Then we have the RPP (Recreational Pilot Permit) which is almost like the full PPL, but you can not fly at night, IMC, and carry only 1 passenger. You can fly anywhere, even into very busy controlled airspace, as all of that is covered in the course. But the instrument portion under the hood and a few other modules are not done because this is for people who want to fly, but have no intention of ever becoming anything other than a recreational pilot. I often get some grief from people saying "a Challenger 2 not an ultralight", but here in the great white north, it is. And you must hold at a minimum of an Ultralight Pilot Permit to fly the Challenger 2, with all the restrictions with that "permit".

GA pilot here please explain what are the reasons to do crow hops?

I want to see a spin!

They seem to be pretty mild. I am looking forword to seeing your take on it.

17:30 😅 I was the kid who drove 12 hours to buy a paraglider off craigslist, and accidentally came home with 3 of them and taught myself with books and videos.. I'm glad I did it.. but damn I wish I would have saved more for the real training.. Years later I befriended another paraglider briefly (not many around here) and he was a certified instructor and started asking me questions and realizing i didn't have half the answers made me realize just how little i knew and how much risk I had been undertaking up until that point.. Lucky.. very lucky.. Now I'm looking at doing a home build plane.. I'm happy to listen to ALL suggestions that cost less than 15k all in.. Less is better though <3 I'm "The Flying Hobo" in this hobby

How bout a link to Amazon on that cargo carrier? Also, what app are you using there? Great vid, we have twin Challengers!

I’m unable to reply to your email, but yes, I’m looking into flying ultralight aircraft.

It sounds like maybe you’re not posting any longer, but I like your common sense video. I’m not a pilot, but have taken glider lessons in the past for about a year (until COVID). Where are you located?

Great video. Please keep making them. 😊

Looks so fun. We flew Bensen Gyro copters when I was a teen.

Kolb ultralights with FOLDING WINGS really work.
