FlyWire is about exploring flight and the freedom this incredible experience brings us on a personal level. Flying has always captured the imagination and excitement of living life to its fullest. Hi, I'm Scott Perdue. In a former life I flew the F-4 and F-15E, more recently I retired from a major airline. I've written for several aviation magazines over the years, was a consultant for RAND, the USAF, Navy, NASA as well as few others, wrote a military thriller- 'Pale Moon Rising' (still on Kindle). But mostly I like flying, or teaching flying. Some of the most fun I had was with Tom Gresham on a TV show called 'Wings to Adventure". We flew lots of different airplanes all over the country. Now with FlyWire I want to showcase the fun in flying, share the joy and freedom of flight and explore the world with you. Make sure you subscribe if you want to go along for the ride!

I like the "paint it black" solution. You're liable to get some folks who disagree. Well, that's life. Sometimes you can't get no satisfaction....
You are awesome, Scott. I always recommend your channel when someone tells me they are learning to fly. You, Juan and Dan do so much to make GA safer and better.
Thanks for the update. Paint it black with a mustard colored spin on it. Yeah, I know…you can’t always get what you want…
....... The "Stones" man...... far out...
We couldn't even listen to what you were saying for trying to figure out how you got those wing tip videos. Please explain
Great shots!!
It is an Insta360 camera. Pretty cool. Just started playing with it.
Good job Scott! I’d say go have a beer after all of that work, but wouldn’t want you to compound your CG problem 😂
Great video. I have found metal props to be super efficient, bulletproof, easy to overhaul, yet heavy. Fixed pitched metal props also keep pulling hard if the idle is set too high. MT's are awesome propellers yet expensive. You should show the new prices on both. 20 extra lbs. on a Husky is not much although a lot of leverage weight at the front tip of the airplane. Metal props are also much easier and safer to hand prop. If you're not doing aerobatics it's not worth the cost and hassle to change IMHO. Light weight composite props are really designed for aerobatic airplanes doing tumbling maneuvers that can snap the crankshaft.
We have a Husky A1C on Amphibs. It had a MT 3 blade when I bought it. At 400 hours the prop leaked and worped. MT did absolutely for us, and we bought a Trailblazer. MT treated us like shit.
Heck of a drone to formation fly so steady
Prop change sounds challenging. Smart to wait a day & be fresh to test fly her.
Black is a great choice.
Ditch almost all carbs and you can ditch those 20 pounds easily! I’d recommend medical supervision but it seems like the latest science supports this and my experience concurs.
I had all the intentions of commenting the spinner needs to be black. lol I'm glad at the end of the video you stated that you are going to spray it black! With your attention to detail, I figured you would. :)
Hartzell Trailblazer...;-)
We gotta do a comparison!
Great vid! Completely agree on the white hub. Paint it black!
Beautiful airpark. I can only dream....
Pretty interesting stuff Scott. Thanks for taking the time to put this all together for us.
G'day Scott,
Yay Team !
I love the Triangulated Airspeed Truth Calculation ; and, yeah, 0.003 of a Difference sounds like the Airframe Drag plus Induced Drag have ganged up to agree between them that it doesn't matter if the two Propellers climb with differing efficiencies due to the differing Disc Density effecting "slippage"...; because at Cruise Power both Prop's run into the fact that as Speed doubles then Drag Squares - so the small difference in Thrust generated at that RPM are almost irrelevant compared to the Drag-increase generated by raising Airspeed by even 1%...
My Control Freak tendencies lead me to wonder if weighing the Fuelburn used on the two separate Flights might not be the definitive method of determining the Relative Efficiency of the two Airscrews...(?) !
With the same Ground-Track and Distance flown, with the difference in True Airspeeds barely the width of a Sandfly's Foreskin....; then with the same Engine..., the only way to measure Airscrew Efficiency - at your favourite Throttle/Oil/Head-Temp. settings..., is to weigh the mass of Motion Lotion burned in the two separate exercises...(?).
Keep on keepin' on...
Stay safe,
;-p
Ciao !
Paint it black and yellow so it looks like a nuclear fall out symbol when stopped. And it strobes when spinning
sounds like a great idea!
love the camera work!
Good test, good data
Thanks for sharing Scott. Love all of your content.
I recommend a tiny bit of yellow highlight to match the airframe on the new black spinner.
To cool neat test
Ok, How do you get those shots from the wingtip? There is no support for the camera!
Another fine video. During the flight footage I completely tuned out the audio trying to figure out how you got that camera footage off the right wing. If it's not a trade secrets would you explain how it was done? Thanks again
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black! 😂
Black is beautiful but I was thinking that black and white checkerboard would be double extra beautiful...and kinda match Charlie a bit.
That is definitely worth thinking about!
@@FlyWirescottperdue Black and yellow checkerboard would probably be even better. I can't really tell but there might already be some black and yellow on your Husky.
I have to admit I was pulling for the Hartzell, just an old time 2 blade thing, and I'm old. LOL. Was there any difference in sound, or feel? 20 more # spinning? Is there much advantage to having them balanced on the engine? Thanks! --gary PS, I'm an old musician/guitar player, "I see a white cone and I want to paint it black!" LOLOLOL
If you get the reference great, if you don’t.....I can’t help you.
How about a checkerboard prop spinner, charcoal gray and black? Thus keeping with the checkerboard theme from the Bonanza.
I’m starting to think about black/yellow with a little red thrown in.
Leni Riefenstahl, is smiling...
Doing things alone can be a challenge at times, When I come across a situation where it requires 2 people I try to find a way to Macgyver it, works most times. As for that larger prop, how does it affect the air flow over Elevator and Rudder control surfaces at higher density altitudes when you pull back on the throttle for approaches? That looks like a pretty large Disc-Area when rotating (the prop). Thanks for the update. :) NC
Paint it with black white spiral like some hub of jets or old prop fighters.
I can’t help but wonder if the Sharrow Marine propeller has an application in aviation. 30% range increases at medium cruise. Just imagine…
Water is much denser than air.
@@FlyWirescottperdue oh yes! I meant the design concept to eliminate vortices at the tip; nothing about size and pitch! If that’s what you thought…
Enjoy the new prop! Cheers
Scott, what airpark do you live on in Texas? I live at 1AR9 in Lonoke, AR.
Reversed for quite a while and we keep waiting to see if you’re going to straighten your pictures. My wife is threatening to turn off the TV if she has to look at the creek and photos in the background any longer. Love the channel but can you please help me out so I can keep watching it? 😂
I was told that “ need for speed “ is not a good thing to say . The pilots say it’s bad luck .
I've never heard that. It's a quote from the first Topgun movie.
I for some reason think the cruise fuel efficiency would better? Is this an accurate guess or an ungrounded question?
I think the world of your work on this stuff but I have one question.
Do you ever just get to go out and fly these beautiful airplanes just for the pure enjoyment of it?
We had to fly that way at work but once in a while it's just nice to go chase clouds.
Thanks Jake. I do indeed I think I will do that in the morning!
@@FlyWirescottperdue Awesome!
I'm a bit surprised by your numbers, as I didn't see such. But not scientific tests by me. If you don't want to paint that spinner, I just happen to have a chrome spinner for an MT prop, that came off a Husky. I'd make you quite a deal! Yes, seriously.
thanks BD, I think I'm going to go Yellow/black and Red.
Roger that!
I'm first and second Like, wowser. If I was to learn/buy which type a C150 VS a: Husky, Carbon Cub, JustFly Highlander? I still like the G36 wish could learn in that. Thanks in advance.
You have listed 4 very different aircraft, in capabilities and price. You need to be more specific about use case and budget.
Fly a Pitts Special
@@chadwickalexanderjr1758 OK I'm sorry I didn't realize there was that much difference between the tail draggers and the Cessna 150. I do realize quit a difference in a good Bonanza. So pick one; can a person learn to fly in a Husky or do all beginners have to start in the C150-C172. I have eliminated the Highlander since they stall tail first. They fall like a duck.
@@pittss2c601 I think that safety record for a beginner trainer is very poor.
@@MrCobb-rq8iv it's not the airplane, it's the pilot.
HAHAHAHAHA!!! I love things “PAINTED BLACK”!!! Interesting data. Seems like that Husky hops right off the runway. I know of one Husky that is consistently beating cubs in STOL competitions. Of course the young pilot Austin Clemens doesn’t weigh as much as many of the pilots he flies against. You probably know who I’m referring to.
Austin's prop is also able to produce reverse thrust. Comes in handy especially doing STOL drag.
@@ginacalabrese3869 Very true, or even traditional STOL competitions. It certainly helped to get that monster Draco slowed down.
Yup, paint it black. Any other color makes it look like a clown nose.
Husky, ya' say?..props for said Husky, ya' say?..Didja' have a friendly chin wag with fellow Husky 'bruh, Senor Blanco abou' prop vicissitudes, nuances?.. An' aviatin' raconteur nee bon vivant DG?
