I’ve been flying over 50 years. Haven’t flown a single time at night since PPL training. I’m color blind, so restricted. Plus, I now fly under Sport Pilot rules so couldn’t fly at night anyway. But it would be very cool to do so.
David, I just watched the video for the second time. It is as awesome as it was the first time. You have a beautiful setup with your Tri-Pacer. I'm hoping that you and family are well.
Mr. David Schmaus I Love Your Vids Amigo! I Love Aviation along with Tons of Aircraft but....The Piper PA-22 Tri-Pacer is the Holy Grail and next a nice simple,Piper J-3. I am not a Pilot but I Love Aviation and Flight Simming. If I were a Pilot and had to pick 2 Planes to own it would be those 2 for sure! Thanks for bringing Aviation to us! God Bless!
@@davidschmaus1 I have a Story and it is a bit of a boring one but the main thing is I dreamt of being a GA Pilot and was about embark on making that happen when the rug got Yanked out from under Me. For Me Flight Sims are the only option now. That Tri-Pacer of Yours is one Sweet Lady!! Never been to Osh Kosh but it is on My Bucket list!
It definitely is more reliable than the GoPros. It’s not quite as wide of a shot though I’d that’s important. It’s close. I was kind of waiting to see if they would come out with an update but I don’t think they will. I might pickup another one. The price on them out under 200 now.
I do. I have lots of hours on both. As far as comfort. They are so close that I’m happy wearing either. The Bose feel a little lighter but the DC’s battery lasts quite a bit longer. For the money I would buy the DC’s again.
Man I love your videos, the quality is great and you make straight up good grass roots aviation content!! Also I want a Tri Pacer so bad, they are amazing little planes.
Hello David, hello everyone. I was to ask you if true or false. I've read that Tripacer is a bad floater and its famous for gliding like a brick. When you were on final you put flaps at 75 MPH. So its true that nailing 70 MPH and up during glide slope it is a good way to avoid stall/sink rapidly. Certainly I will miss my old Aeronca. That thing was incredibly floating during final with extremely good response while executing side slips. Would you help me out with this one please? thank you.
My dad and I just got back Sunday from Whiteside county KSQI and the ACCA. It wasn't nearly as bad coming back but going up took about 8 hours due to stopped traffic north of Indiana. Wow your aircraft is probably pretty easy to spot at night with those strobes. Great flight and looking forward to the rest of the trip. Thanks as always for taking the time to share this with us all.
What a cool video David! I love the Tripe, but I don't think I'd enjoy the night flying. I don't have a lot of night logged, but I probably should. I'm sorry I missed you at Oshkosh this year. My friends had a Tripe and a Pacer both in vintage camping, and we spent a lot of time there. I had to park my Cherokee in row 168 or so. I was almost at Fisk Ave.
Thank you! Dude. You will love it. I keep looking at other planes to find an "upgrade". It would take a ton of money to move to something significantly better. Feel free to reach out with any questions
@@davidschmaus1 I started working on getting in the air a few years ago but instantly didn't wanna pay for plane rentals. Now I'll just learn the rest in my own plane.
Very good footage. Waiting for next episode. I remember the Tri Pacers well. Im one of rhe vintage pilots. Planning to do OSH next year in my KR2 from 58N in PA. I can't carry as much as you can, so will be using hotels instead of camping. But will be 2 day trip each direction.
Thanks Gary, I really love my Tri-Pacer. Perfect plane for me. Looks like 58N is in a good location to be able to get our to the North East and do some exploring too. Thanks for watching! I'm uploading the next video as I type.
Nice night flight David. Some cool footage and a good women you have there bro. Let's you go have fun. Shes a keeper😂. Hope you enjoyed Oshkosh. Such a pity that travel is still banned from this part of the world. Maybe next year.
David thanks again. I could not go Oshkosh this year. Glad you could make it.
Adventures of Der Schmausmeister !
Cool to see those modern avionics in a tri-pacer, and doing a night flight with them at that. The picture at the end is great!
Thanks Chris. I did question myself when I originally put them in but I am glad I did. Thanks!!
I really enjoy these videos. Sorry to hear about your accident and so glad your going to make a recovery. Get well soon
Thanks so much! Appreciate it!
Just found your channel. Very nice video work and I like the story line. Looking forward to seeing the arrive alive. Well done!
Thank you Jim! Appreciate it!

Nice!!! The open cooler was making me crazy though! LOL
Haha. Tell me about it. My wife said I packed to much beer. I finally got it sorted. :)

Bob! Thanks so much friend! I hope you have some pilot friends that take you flying. If not we need to make that happen!

Nice job. Always great to watch fellow avatars. Regards
love that night picture at the end. How do you like the DJI Osmo Action? Looking to upgrade myself from the Gopros

@@davidschmaus1 yeah for the price they seem to be pretty good.
Awesome! And I never use that word. 😀 Looking forward to part 2. Thank you for posting your video, David.
Thank you!!! Have a good weekend!!
Hey man, noticed you wear both the DC one-x and the Bose A20’s which do you prefer in that plane?
I do. I have lots of hours on both. As far as comfort. They are so close that I’m happy wearing either. The Bose feel a little lighter but the DC’s battery lasts quite a bit longer. For the money I would buy the DC’s again.
Did that at Sun N Fun in Lakeland Florida. Not to be on tent sleeping now though. Flight was Atlanta to Lakeland back to Atlanta

I always liked the flying milk stool ;-)You passed close me my home, Marion KMZZ.
Haha! Absolutely!! I sure did. Ive been in your airport before!

My friend drove back from Oshkosh to Ohio abs said it took 12 hours because of traffic. Crazy. Thanks!! The second half should be out next week!
That last pic with tent and plane was amazing 👍🇨🇦
Thanks Gary!
@David Schmaus How is the availability of original shortwing spare parts now?

By the way, how many NM from your FBO to Oshkosh? thank you.
Very well put together video. I just bought a tri pacer and will get it next week. I'm so excited!
