It's super easy to critique sitting and watching the video but actually doing it is really confusing and everyone needs to practice and figure it out. Very difficult stuff and I thought you did an excellent job for your first time in a new airplane. You’re killing it.
These videos are really making me want to renew my license. I originally learned at Harv's back in 1978, and will most definitely go back to renew. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks for taking us along for a ride in the Pitts, looking forward to the Landing episode! I noticed the landscape looks the same in all directions - except for the roads. It would be easy to get lost in terrain like that, especially if you are focussed on technique and not maintaining an awareness of where you are.
Great video. I'm really happy to see Osama back. I'm very interested in the TBM and how his multi engine training went. Is he documenting and sharing his experience? If so, link please. :-D
Hi Flight Chops, I popped in a few times on your blog, and mentioned all the Stearman time I had. I see you're getting serious about flying. I did airobatics in my Stearman only as far as it would fly upside down, until it ran out of fuel. The inverted spin is nothing like the Pitts, you couldn't hold the stick far enough forward, because it wanted to through you out of the cockpit. I had to roll it inverted, kick rudder and put my other foot on the stick and push, while holding the side tubing. It was more like a gyration than a spin. Have fun, but be safe and always check around for any other planes. Bob
Nice job Steve. I am watching for the second time, your videos make me like flying more and more, you are choosing nice topics and doing great videos, keep going and we always will raise thumbs UP. Good luck and fly safe.
I saw this plane flying over my place quite a bit as I live in the practice area where they do there training and aerobatics. Pretty cool to see something close to home.
Having only done a little aeros I'm very, very impressed both with how well you got on and with the videos!!! With winter setting in here I can't wait to do some virtual aerobatic training ride-alongs :-)
And I almost forgot: Another great episode! Feels like we're there in the cockpit with you. And I'm a little envious, as always - that Pitts looked like a lot of fun. I've never flown anything that snappy, that's for sure :).
Best video yet. I LOVE the Pitts and have always wanted to take some dual in one. (I've got about 2 hours of aerobatic dual in a Cessna 152 Aerobat, heh). This was the next best thing!
Awesome video. I was quite impressed on how quickly you picked things up in the Pitts, shows how good your basic skills are ! Pitts rating will be a good one to have before stepping into the Spitfire!
Luke sounds like a good instructor, I’d like to fly with him so I googled Harvsairinverted, looks like the Pitts is gone and they are using the Extra 300L now. Getting up to Steinbach to get some inverted spin training is now on my bucket list!
Watch many of your videos, they are great. I started doing Acro a few years ago myself. I remember the barfing feeling after about 15 minutes when I first started…….that was my limit. Now it’s seems so much easier. If you are in southern Ontario, stop by “ Juergensen field” sometime, be great to meet you. We have a one design, a Staudacher and an Acrosport here, plus a bunch of altralights. Airport ID is CPG-7. Hans Juergensen ( DRY does Acro here on occasion…….)
Thanks for ANOTHER great video!! I'm a nonpilot with no desires to actually become a pilot (sissy), but have always been fascinated with planes. Through your videos, I can get as close to flying without actually flying (again, no desire to be a pilot). I have always wondered what it would be like to pilot a plane, and through your videos I am able to witness and feel the thrills of what it's like with none of the danger (to me). You're videos always delight (again, still no desire to be a pilot, but can't wait till your next video)!
FlightChops: awesome video and great flying! I know I'd love to try my hand at a Pitts! Looking forward to the rest of the series! -Joe (Commercial, SE)
I've only ever flown in a simulator but, whenever I fly upside down I don't think in my head that I'm upside down. Instead I think I'm rightside up and the earth is above me. Then you can fly and turn somewhat normally. Just a little mental trick.
Years ago, when 'Tricky Dick' was earning his moniker, I flew a Decathlon crosscountry for several hours to Phoenix. Navigation was easy: I simply followed Interstate 10 from Palm Springs…through the skylight. (The plane had been modified with a Christensen inverted oil system and temporary inverted fuel system.) Regrettably, there were no GoPros available then, and my camera plane lost sight of my plane not long after rolling inverted, so I don't have much to show for the effort. I'm delighted to see how you're using GoPros and other film and audio technology in your flying, and will use your ideas in my flying (but without the use of a skylight). You're doing a splendid job! Bon vols, John #BoseA2
Hello FlightChops, i really wish you put english subtittle, not randomly generated one please? I'm deaf (Cochlea implant if you wonder) and I have a hard time to hear what being said in the headshot coms. Cheers mate!
Ok - I am going to see if I can figure out how to enable the ability for users to add / change the subtitles... can you email me if you're interested in helping incase I need to give you some sort of access? flightchops at gmail dot com
hey man, never flown, even commercial, never even really had an interest. but after stumbling upon one of your videos looking for airplane fails, its weird, my cheeks started itching. i ran to the bathroom, it was dark, looked in the mirror, i realized i had aviators on for some reason. Slowly, i took them off and wouldnt ya know it even though i just shaved this morning i saw a 5 'oclock shadows of some mighty sharp flight chops growing in. got yourself a sub, and maybe a fellow pilot in traning in the future. love these vids man. love 'em
Great job Chops! You are acquiring such a wonderful compilation of experience! I am thrilled for you, and inspired! You're videos and commentary are some of the very best available! Keep 'em coming! Our whole Flying Club is among your audience! VP of SouthTexasFlyingClub.org
As always, enjoyed it... and was really glad for the contest reminder. All your prizes are great... but I could REALLY use that flight instruction money. Haven't been flying enough because of building costs. Having to get creative to afford my engine and prop!
Harv's Air. Have gone with their online ground school from PPL to the ATPL.. Nice to see something from their flight school other than online videos. Haha!
Another great episode! And yeah, even though I've never experienced motion sickness, flying a plane while hanging upside down sucks! It's fun, but it also sucks :).
Took my own initial aerobatic training in a Citabria recently, and I lasted exactly 1 hour before my stomach suddenly had enough and we decided to head back for landing haha.
+Victorien David - we considered it, but instructing for take offs and landings from the front is serious business, and he didn't want anything else obstructing what little view he had.
If you liked this (and you looked like you did :)), you should definately try glider aerobatics as well if you ever have the chance. For me it feels just more pure, subtle and immersive mainly because you don't have this roaring engine in front and you don't need to wear anything on top of your head (by the way - looks like #BoseA20 without any additional straps served the purpose there) but I agree, that powered aerobatics is hell lot of fun too :) Take care and I'm keeping fingers crossed for your IR and ME training, cause I'm in the same boat right now :)
#BoseA20 Hey Steve, this is rad! I can't believe I'm just discovering you now. I grew up in Burlington Ontario and currently living at the St. Andrews dorms and flying that same Citabria, ZKC. In fact I was training while this video was uploaded but I don't remember this day. Currently home studying for CPL exams but will be training with Luke for some aerobatics as soon as I get back. Currently I run an ancient headset with no active noise cancelling. I'm definitely well in need of an upgrade but am torn between active and passive noise cancelling. My main worry is that with active I won't be able to hear crucial noises such as the stall horn or a change in engine sound. It seems most pilots prefer active, and my instructor even uses #BoseA20 's. I still can't help but wonder, does my concern make sense?
Great video. Have wanted to get some training in a Pitts, very interesting to see what's it's actually like. Thanks for putting together all of your great content! #BoseA20
awesome video and i wish i was old enough to get my pilots license as i am looking to be a rcaf pilot in the future and the sooner the training starts the sooner i get my licence therefore i can get my multi engine sooner. the anitial licence i hope will be from 104 Starfighter brantford rcac
How the hell do they navigate on the prairie without gps? It’s just an endless grid! Out east we have rivers and hills and cities but out there they don’t even have grain elevators anymore. I’d actually have to use my compass. I don’t even remember where it is on my panel. I’d be lost in 5 min,
I'll look into that next time... but the rest of this weekend we did 4 other flights and I was ok. (except for almost breaking my neck on the 5th one when Luke showed me his competitive routine :)
Yea I had a horrible time with it it took me 25 hours to find out about it and after that aviation changed completely. But awesome man continue to do what you do and bigger things will happen!
Really? That would be great if that would help mine. Presume you get it from your local chemist? (Pharmacist).What sort of amounts or dosage? I've always struggled with motion sickness, car then planes although I found the more I flew the better I was but still its very frustrating. It has I think put me off unusual attitudes, not the fear of being upside down but more fear I'm going to throw up!
You did well to keep at it. I actually had to use a bag during my introductory flight! But I was usually ok unless it was really bumpy or hot or got any negative G on. Blind flying was a bit of a killer at times!
Wow, I am glad I stumbled onto this comment chain. I have really awful motion sickness (Including cars), and I went for a glider plane intro flight recently. It was fine until we started doing thermals, then it was time-out for me. I'll have to look into this too! I don't think it was disorientation (I have no problem with really busy/chaotic motion if my body itself is stationary), I think it was the G's.
As usual, trully great video. This time I was even more happy as I got to see you trying to sort out those rudder inputs during ailerons rolls... I have been trying to master it for the last 2 years now, here in the south of France with a very special air club I am part of, which dedicated to aerobatics (voltige in french :p) training and competition practice. You can check it out here www.midipyreneesvoltige.net/ (sorry only in french). We fly a Mudry CAP 10C for the training and then advanced practice is on Extra 200 and 330 (which you already now :) ). I hope one day you cross the Atlantic and see how it is done here!
Ive only got about 5 hours as a student pilot, so I just started. I always got car sick as a kid, and I started getting sick in flight when we were practicing maneuvers. Anyone know what to do to prevent this, or if there is any FAA approved medication that helps?
Usually if YOU are at the controls, it helps a little bit since most movement is what you are doing, so you can anticipate what is happening. So if you start feeling ill all you have to do is fly straight and level while being at the controls. Other than that you will get used to it over time, eventually. Oh and if the plane has fresh airflow from a vent or A/C, blast that in your face, nothing sobers me up more than cold fresh air.
Awesome video. You may not realize how great your content is because you're so close to it, but you put out some of the best content on UA-cam.
Thanks! We're working hard to produce the flying content we wanted to see, but couldn't find elsewhere! Glad to hear you think it is working!
That is so true
It's super easy to critique sitting and watching the video but actually doing it is really confusing and everyone needs to practice and figure it out. Very difficult stuff and I thought you did an excellent job for your first time in a new airplane. You’re killing it.
friendly feedback appreciated :)
I almost barfed watching. Nice flying!
These videos are really making me want to renew my license. I originally learned at Harv's back in 1978, and will most definitely go back to renew. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks for taking us along for a ride in the Pitts, looking forward to the Landing episode!
I noticed the landscape looks the same in all directions - except for the roads. It would be easy to get lost in terrain like that, especially if you are focussed on technique and not maintaining an awareness of where you are.
+Rory Filer - Haha - yes, that's the Canadian Prairies for you - but at least there are no mountains to hit :)
Great video. I'm really happy to see Osama back. I'm very interested in the TBM and how his multi engine training went.
Is he documenting and sharing his experience?
If so, link please.
:-D
My time learning in the S2B was some of the most fun I've ever had in an airplane. Thanks for this amazing video FlightChops!
Amazing video as always. Very educational yet entertaining to the very end.
Hi Flight Chops, I popped in a few times on your blog, and mentioned all the Stearman time I had. I see you're getting serious about flying. I did airobatics in my Stearman only as far as it would fly upside down, until it ran out of fuel. The inverted spin is nothing like the Pitts, you couldn't hold the stick far enough forward, because it wanted to through you out of the cockpit. I had to roll it inverted, kick rudder and put my other foot on the stick and push, while holding the side tubing. It was more like a gyration than a spin. Have fun, but be safe and always check around for any other planes. Bob
hey FlightChops, thank you for putting out all of this content! It has really gotten me back into wanting to get my license again.
Thank you again FlightChops!
Every video just keeps getting better.
I'm so jealous.....
Awesome man! He is a great instructor! I flew in a Pitts a few months back and loved it, this video reminded me of my flight!
Nice job Steve. I am watching for the second time, your videos make me like flying more and more, you are choosing nice topics and doing great videos, keep going and we always will raise thumbs UP. Good luck and fly safe.
i want to become a pilot one day, you inspire me, thx!
Totally incredible video and the way you explained different thing's too was great to see..Thank you so much for your videos too...
I saw this plane flying over my place quite a bit as I live in the practice area where they do there training and aerobatics. Pretty cool to see something close to home.
That should be on everyone's bucket list. Great video!
Love it! For me the nausea comes when stoping the aerobatics and flying straight and level... funnest flying I’ve ever done!!
Having only done a little aeros I'm very, very impressed both with how well you got on and with the videos!!! With winter setting in here I can't wait to do some virtual aerobatic training ride-alongs :-)
Too cool! Can't wait for more of this series.
And I almost forgot: Another great episode! Feels like we're there in the cockpit with you. And I'm a little envious, as always - that Pitts looked like a lot of fun. I've never flown anything that snappy, that's for sure :).
Awesome. Wow, I feel like I'm ready for a day in a Pitts! Thanks - great job!
Coming to you fm Oz. Mate your content is of the highest calibre. Thank you.
Fair winds ⛵️👍
+Theophilus Thistler - thanks! What do you fly down there?
Best video yet. I LOVE the Pitts and have always wanted to take some dual in one. (I've got about 2 hours of aerobatic dual in a Cessna 152 Aerobat, heh). This was the next best thing!
Awesome video. I was quite impressed on how quickly you picked things up in the Pitts, shows how good your basic skills are ! Pitts rating will be a good one to have before stepping into the Spitfire!
Wow, i would love to fly a pitts. Keep the amazing content flowing Steve.
Luke sounds like a good instructor, I’d like to fly with him so I googled Harvsairinverted, looks like the Pitts is gone and they are using the Extra 300L now. Getting up to Steinbach to get some inverted spin training is now on my bucket list!
Nice vid! great flying, great info, and nicely put together. And that plane....oh yea!
Really brings back the memories when I was up with him in the same Pitts.
Watch many of your videos, they are great. I started doing Acro a few years ago myself. I remember the barfing feeling after about 15 minutes when I first started…….that was my limit. Now it’s seems so much easier.

Hans Juergensen ( DRY does Acro here on occasion…….)
Reminds me of my 1st aerobatic lesson . . . well done!!!! (I was green until on final when I got my flying legs back - lol)
Nice job Steve, I am sure you will nail IFR. Thank you for the great vid.
Thanks for ANOTHER great video!!

Needs more top gun music and post flight beach volleyball! Great video! Very educational.
I've only ever flown in a simulator but, whenever I fly upside down I don't think in my head that I'm upside down. Instead I think I'm rightside up and the earth is above me. Then you can fly and turn somewhat normally. Just a little mental trick.
The plane yaws the opposite direction in response to roll when you're in an inverted AOA.
I don't understand what kind of people thumbs-down these videos. They are always so good.
Thanks - I don't try to understand haters.
Looking forward to that tbm850 vid then ;D
Without getting ahead of ourselves: great production again!
I NEED TO KNOW WHERE TO DO THIS. I love your content keep it up
Well done Steve! Great video as usual.

one of my favorite fc vids
As always, enjoyed it... and was really glad for the contest reminder. All your prizes are great... but I could REALLY use that flight instruction money. Haven't been flying enough because of building costs. Having to get creative to afford my engine and prop!
Great episode, can't wait to see the rest of the series. And, btw, Osama rocks. Love that dude.
Great job. looking forward to seeing more of the TBM too. Stevo's doesn't look as sharp as Osama's
Love this video! More!

New Subscriber here, love your content. Keep it up!
Great Chanel, enjoying from the U.K.
Yo chops
You should be proud to be a Canadian.
Beautiful country. Beautiful people.
Tell Osama to open a channel.
Keep warm.
+Cap'n Crunch - Roget thanks!
Took my own initial aerobatic training in a Citabria recently, and I lasted exactly 1 hour before my stomach suddenly had enough and we decided to head back for landing haha.
Welcome back to CYAV!
I can imagine what Sean D Tucker goes though with his routine. Great job Steve.
Great video Steve.
It would have been nice to have a gropro for Luke too inside the plane, anyway, great video like always, thanks FlightChops !
+Victorien David - we considered it, but instructing for take offs and landings from the front is serious business, and he didn't want anything else obstructing what little view he had.
If you're ever in an aerobatics aircraft again can you try and do some knifedge flying? I can't wrap my head around how it works..
+danlank - we did it :). Watch for that in a future part of this series!
That makes me happy! I just can't get my head around how it works 😂
With my rc experience the rudder becomes the elevator & the elevators become the rudder, ailerons stay the same.
What makes lift? Or do you just lose altitude during the maneuver?
Exactly! That is how it works.
Dutch rolls get me every time. I've yet to reach for the barf bag yet though.
Awesome video man!
If you liked this (and you looked like you did :)), you should definately try glider aerobatics as well if you ever have the chance. For me it feels just more pure, subtle and immersive mainly because you don't have this roaring engine in front and you don't need to wear anything on top of your head (by the way - looks like #BoseA20 without any additional straps served the purpose there) but I agree, that powered aerobatics is hell lot of fun too :) Take care and I'm keeping fingers crossed for your IR and ME training, cause I'm in the same boat right now :)
That would be so much fun.
Very cool and interesting video!
#BoseA20
Hey Steve, this is rad! I can't believe I'm just discovering you now. I grew up in Burlington Ontario and currently living at the St. Andrews dorms and flying that same Citabria, ZKC. In fact I was training while this video was uploaded but I don't remember this day. Currently home studying for CPL exams but will be training with Luke for some aerobatics as soon as I get back.
Currently I run an ancient headset with no active noise cancelling. I'm definitely well in need of an upgrade but am torn between active and passive noise cancelling. My main worry is that with active I won't be able to hear crucial noises such as the stall horn or a change in engine sound.
It seems most pilots prefer active, and my instructor even uses #BoseA20 's. I still can't help but wonder, does my concern make sense?
Nicely done!
Had to laugh when 'Smash that Like button' pointed at the Report flag. 😉
I like your instructor.
Then you're gonna like what is publishing Friday - Training with Luke again - except in the Extra 300!
great video. i just bought this plane in june.
Great video. Have wanted to get some training in a Pitts, very interesting to see what's it's actually like. Thanks for putting together all of your great content! #BoseA20
awesome video and i wish i was old enough to get my pilots license as i am looking to be a rcaf pilot in the future and the sooner the training starts the sooner i get my licence therefore i can get my multi engine sooner. the anitial licence i hope will be from 104 Starfighter brantford rcac
How the hell do they navigate on the prairie without gps? It’s just an endless grid! Out east we have rivers and hills and cities but out there they don’t even have grain elevators anymore. I’d actually have to use my compass. I don’t even remember where it is on my panel. I’d be lost in 5 min,
cool vid.. the Canadian "eh" and "yaa" definitely came out more.. I got nauseous watching the vid!! lol
Did my ppl there. Great flight school
Vitamin B6 Helped Me With Motion Sickness
I'll look into that next time... but the rest of this weekend we did 4 other flights and I was ok. (except for almost breaking my neck on the 5th one when Luke showed me his competitive routine :)
Yea I had a horrible time with it it took me 25 hours to find out about it and after that aviation changed completely. But awesome man continue to do what you do and bigger things will happen!
Really? That would be great if that would help mine. Presume you get it from your local chemist? (Pharmacist).What sort of amounts or dosage? I've always struggled with motion sickness, car then planes although I found the more I flew the better I was but still its very frustrating. It has I think put me off unusual attitudes, not the fear of being upside down but more fear I'm going to throw up!
You did well to keep at it. I actually had to use a bag during my introductory flight! But I was usually ok unless it was really bumpy or hot or got any negative G on. Blind flying was a bit of a killer at times!
Wow, I am glad I stumbled onto this comment chain. I have really awful motion sickness (Including cars), and I went for a glider plane intro flight recently. It was fine until we started doing thermals, then it was time-out for me. I'll have to look into this too! I don't think it was disorientation (I have no problem with really busy/chaotic motion if my body itself is stationary), I think it was the G's.
Lesson #1, fly inverted on an empty stomach.
I live 1 1/2 hours away from Winnipeg
Hey I live in Winnipeg and thats St. Andrews airport
There it is again, "Your not (doing some bad thing) like most guys" :) Just make sure your head doesn't get too big for the cockpit.
OMG Golly Gee. I've got 4.7 hours. I want this!
Great video as always mate. Btw how do i enter the contest? just subscribing and watching the latest vid? cheers.
+Dominic Ells - you need to visit the flightchops dot com website to enter the contest.
I think the word 'awesome' is a bit overused these days, but wow, this video did inspire some awe :D Thanks!
+Janne Peltonen - appreciated :)
I'm hungry after all that talk about pie
We are building a Pitts S2 special for a customer, I would love to fly it, but I don't think I would get the chance to.
So in and inverted turn, was it completely opposite control?
Thumbs up for the title alone
That is some crazy stuff. Helicopters can land anywhere but the average helicopter can't do that.
I've seen a video with osama that dude is a total pro and he's got an awesome plane!
I recommend bananas for flight sickens. They taste the same going down as the do coming up.
Axial rolls... the slower you do them, the harder they are to do.
As usual, trully great video.
This time I was even more happy as I got to see you trying to sort out those rudder inputs during ailerons rolls... I have been trying to master it for the last 2 years now, here in the south of France with a very special air club I am part of, which dedicated to aerobatics (voltige in french :p) training and competition practice.

+Thompilot - awesome thanks! I do intend to get to the UK soon!
Do what the doc tells you... Turn your head and... Good thing you are in the front seat. Sorry for the people in back if you toss oreos.
Ive only got about 5 hours as a student pilot, so I just started. I always got car sick as a kid, and I started getting sick in flight when we were practicing maneuvers. Anyone know what to do to prevent this, or if there is any FAA approved medication that helps?

Other than that you will get used to it over time, eventually.
Oh and if the plane has fresh airflow from a vent or A/C, blast that in your face, nothing sobers me up more than cold fresh air.
Always wanted to try this, but 2nd guessing it now. #BoseA20
That's a weird plane to do instrument training in...
Hows that IFR coming?
I was studying for INRAT while editing this one. I am in the thick of it now.
I'm sure you'll do great, you're a clever guy!
Highly recommend the Aerocourse before you do it
