Holy cow, this was well worth the wait! Editing is phenomenal, can't imagine how long it took you to edit it. Could easily pass as being a legitimate series televised on a major network, or something like a Netflix original series. Keep it up, looking forward to Ep. 2!
Thanks for all the support. If you enjoyed this challenge all I ask is please share the link on your social media: ua-cam.com/video/CwX98ruOqrM/v-deo.html - help spread the aviation message to your friends. Thanks, you all rock, stef 🙏
Fantastic videos Stef. However, as a keen aviation enthusiast and surveyor, it would have been great if you could have acknowledged the work of the early surveyors who set out the straight edge borders of Victoria. One of the surveyors who started the survey of the South Australian/Victorian border in 1847 was Henry Wade who had previously conducted surveys in Queensland. This border is known as the Wade-White Line is named after Henry Wade and Edward White. Henry Wade collapsed and died at the age of 44 while working in the Gisborne area in July, 1854. The Black-Allan Line is the eastern "straight edge" portion of the state between NSW and Victoria and is named after Alexander Black and Alexander Allan who surveyed the border between 1870 and 1872.
My Fleet 80 Canuck could not take off if it had the weight of the nav/comms ...but maps got heavier after a cross country from Pacific to Atlantic and back....low and very slow...great memories watching this...cheers.
Hi Stefan - now you have set me a challenge. I STILL use paper as a back-up to my iPad (no GPS in the panel). have flown the northern and western sides of “The Bay” VFR both clockwise and anti-clockwise, and I have flown coastal from Cape Otway to Warrnambool; so my challenge is firstly to link them up, then to fly the western border and the Murray (at least as far as the edge of Albury airspace before cutting to Wangaratta. I look forward to your mountain and south-east coast legs to work out my subsequent challenge. What a great idea - a really big thanks for sharing, and for showing the basic, VFR issues to be faced.
Well down matey. First part over. As you settled in those nerves just melted away to become nothing. Always a pleasure watching your content. Am looking forward to the rest. Stay safe and enjoy yourself. 👍👍
I received a email from FlightAware when you submitted your flight plan for this the Victorian boarder round trip. I followed you in X-Plane 11 using the SR22 Turbo G6, Hold My Beer version. Was looking forward to the UA-cam presentation. And here it is! I have to say, your scenery is looking pretty realistic compared to mine. (: . As always such an enjoyable video to watch. Beautiful and thanks for the presentation. BruceD
I have no real intrest in aviation but finding your videos a while ago and the way you tell the journeys has peaked my intrest , purely to watch your passion of it and learn a little of a topic i know nothing about. Great video.
That's really good feedback, thanks Kelly. I never wanted this to be an "aviation channel" but a place to share adventures / stories that are interesting and enjoyable to watch. So that means a lot, thank you for posting that comment.
Great content Stef. Keep up the good work. Just a tip on Avalon airspace (I’m an AV ATC), if you are VFR, you don’t need to ask for a transit clearance in Class E between A025 and A045. Just give them a courtesy call to tell them what you are doing so they can tell IFR about you if needed. Frequency transfers are then up to you. Looking forward to the next episode.
I’ve tried to do this flight in MSFS but my computer couldn’t handle it so seeing you do it and all the fantastic scenery our lil state has to offer is amazing. Hopefully I’ll get behind a real yoke and travel it for real someday. Love the video, absolutely brilliant :):):)
Great videos, Stef. A suggestion for consideration: Would you (and your channel) get more value from the wing-tip cameras if they were mounted BELOW the wing? I know ABOVE is sorta dramatic... but getting old. More/better scenery would be welcome (especially to those of us not from Australia) and could free you up from using a hand-held. Good luck with your border challenge!
Great video, Stef. Good job you have the disclaimer about not being qualified to give instruction, when you are flying the north leg (15:45) and say "to my right-hand" side while pointing to your left. I know it isn't a southern hemisphere "thing" as I am in South Africa, maybe just an Aussie "right" side.
Thanks for providing quality GA entertainment for thousands of us. Your production value far outpaces the rest and we genuinely love it. Safe flying, Stef!
Great! I still use the old ways of navigating to back up the new ways because electrical issues or dead batteries can get you if you don't have that back up.
What an awesome video. Thanks. Can't wait for number 2. Almost makes a beginner want to bypass VFR and go straight to IFR in terms of ease of navigation!
Talk about flying around the world without breaking a sweat.....spins globe backwards. Talk about flying around Victoria with a map...... visibly nervous...looks at map upside down. Another great video. I am looking forward to the next videos.
Just stumbled across your channel and love it so far. Looking forward to this series. My son and I are both students so obviously learning everything "old school", but it doesn't take long to realize the benefit of technology for navigation! At the same time, I do enjoy the "challenge" of flying my XC's via only pilotage and dead reckoning. But I'd be lying if I didn't admit that the magenta line comes in MIGHT handy at times. 😉
Absolutely brilliant Stef! Not only am I missing flying, i desperately missing home. What a beautiful sight to see the mighty murray river in all its glory. Looking forward to the next video.
The Murray River has great meanders!!! Luckily you have a big state to fly around my county would take a couple of hours I reckon. Avoiding Heathrow would be fun.
Welcome to the world of microlight flying. Having to work out flights based on land features and distance between each of them. And no IMC options in microlight. I did enjoy your flight and look for part2
Nice vid Stefan especially through these tough times that were going through in England at the moment with a third national lockdown put into place for like a month and a half so keep up the good work stef mate 😁👌👏🙌👏👍
Once I did a 6.3 hour long nav to Port Augusta..... I was so bored that I was climbing and descending randomly, just to kill time.. kinda miss those good old days now... I can't imagine a nav so long that you're doing😁 👍 Kudos to that.
You flew over me, I had not long landed at YORB in my Tecnam. We seen you fly past and a mate looked on flight radar and said ” he's flying the border”. I might do that soon, looks like a good challenge.
@@chrisbowpiloto I only caught it because I literally made the same mistake myself once, and was mocked for it (in a good-natured way) for quite a while. Never made that mistake again.
And now I just realised that this sounds like a snarky comment. I don't want to leave that impression. This video is awesome. Your channel is awesome. It was one of your videos that gave me the final push to start taking flying lessons. Now I'm about 6 hours in (did stalls today), and still loving it. So please don't take this one comment as anything other than good-natured banter.
Stefan, What a magnificent country, I've read most of the Napolean Bonaparte(not that one) mysteries by Arthur Upfield and always enjoyed his descriptions of so many of Australia's regions, but your flight makes me wish I could be there with you. There is still so much to see and discover in spite of the many years after that book series was completed. It's so rewarding to watch you challenge yourself mentally and physically, even the mistakes are worthwhile. Someone is missing? A certain cowww.... Cheers, Rik Spector
Thanks Stef, unfortunately for me sometimes I don’t do the social platforms but will takeaway what I can from here. I appreciate your response too, planning the whole picture and choice of PIC. Cheers.
The NT border is straight lines on the inland parts.... 😄 Awesome video mate, all the best for 2021- hopefully it's a better one for all of you guys down in Vic.
It is always good to get back to basics, I actually moved my ipad from the yoke to a mount on the right side of the panel, I found it a distraction, so I use both map and ipad, using the ipad to check my track and position. Great video and looking forward to the next one!
Holy cow the production and storytelling in this video is seriously amazing just like a mini documentary. Stef, you just keep getting better and better!! (although I think the cow herself may have missed this adventure?). Looking forward to the next one :)
Very nice so far mate. Have you tried OATS TO GO choc brownie ?? in the health foods section at Coles. Don't think flight following is used much here in Australia. Thanks Stef
Hi, if you get a chance, pls do visit my channel and watch my videos on aviation and travel!! Do check out my latest video on HARS Aviation Museum visit! Also, watch my other videos on my channel. If you like the content, pls subscribe to my channel for more upcoming videos! Thanks!
G'day Stef! Firstly, Happy New Year my friend! :-) What a fantastic video - Really enjoyed it! - So miss Victoria! Love seeing a big paper chart back in the cockpit! hahaha. Love your work. Take care my friend - Plus, geezz mate. Almost 100K of subscribers! Nice one!
Another awesome video! I know a nice rule of thumb for calculating your drift angle which would have kept you on track nicely during your straight leg along the western border of VIC. If your TAS is 120kt, then the drift angle when the wind is 90° to the direction of travel is half the wind speed. If you're faster, it's less than half, and if you're slower it's more than half. At 60kt the maximum drift is 1x the wind speed and at 180kt it's 1/3 of the wind speed. Assuming your TAS was 180kt (is that about right?) your drift should have been more like 4° not 11, which explains why you kept going off track to the right. For angles other than 90° you can use a proportion of the max drift- e.g. 20°= 1/3 max drift, 30° = 1/2 max drift, 45° = 3/4 max drift, 60°+ = all of the max drift. These are just approximations of the sine of the angle. Great work though! Looking forward to watching the next one :)
Hello Stefan 'expert at leaning on planes'😂 That looks like a good adventure and look forward to the following vids. Good idea to keep up your basic skills as it's all too easy to use the gadgets. See ya in the next one. Safe flying.
Great video, very well made. I like your challenge, it’s really creative and I can’t wait to see how it goes. I watched your second flight live on flightradar24 so I am really excited for the next video. :)
Thanks Oscar, yes the next episode is a fun one - quite a lot happened on the second day so I'm looking forward to sharing that. Thanks for following the adventure.
14:39 “flying at an angle of 363” also known as 003 🤐 if your heading is greater than 360 you may be going around in circles (clockwise, would it be a minus number if going anti-clockwise?) I know your pain here, as only two of the three club aircraft I fly have GPS, but one of the Robin DR200’s doesn’t, so it always gives me a chance to brush up on my “chart art” and practice using the VOR.
Good old fashioned heading and time. Got to keep those map reading skills sharp. Going back 20+ years I remember instructing a young fella in navigation. "I don't need that stuff" he said, pulling out one of the first generation GPS units. :(
Fantastic content as always Stef! Hands down one of the most authentic aviation content one can find on UA-cam. Beautiful landscape as well, just a great video!
You, the plane, scenery outside, a chart in your lap. This is what it's all about. ❤️
For sure
You said it!!! Makes me want to get out there so bad.
Oh ya
Stefans clearly spent the lockdown figuring out how to increase the production quality of these videos and it shows.
The late fifties in open cockpit biplane (DH82 TigerMoth) in 5 point (baby) harness, with leather/canvas flying suit, Gosport Tube, leather helmet & peering through "WW1-2 Goggles", ALL sans radio,autopilot, zero navaids try holding various paper DCA maps & WAC Charts & 'box Flt Computer' on a VFR " Cross Country" from Moorabbin VIC, Mt Gambier SA, Wagga (Wagga) NSW. etc.. Praying (well nearly) for the right TMG & that CTR 'Airspace' was NOT ENTERED enroute to [fill the box .............]. Thanks very much for this excellent video series. ps. Australia is aeronautical bliss.
Holy cow, this was well worth the wait! Editing is phenomenal, can't imagine how long it took you to edit it. Could easily pass as being a legitimate series televised on a major network, or something like a Netflix original series.
Keep it up, looking forward to Ep. 2!
Stick, Rudder, Paper, Compass, Watch - that’s my kind of flying! Looking forward to Part#2.
Thanks for all the support. If you enjoyed this challenge all I ask is please share the link on your social media: ua-cam.com/video/CwX98ruOqrM/v-deo.html - help spread the aviation message to your friends. Thanks, you all rock, stef 🙏
Awsome idea Stefan
I was wondering what you would do next.
Can't wait for all of it and I am not even a pilot.
When you’ve been waiting since the countdown was on insta and it finally comes
Ha, thanks for the support, enjoy the video.
Nice size shark at 9:29 what a beautiful flight.
Wow already I can tell this will be a amazing series can’t wait to see more. I’m heading to flightradar24 to see what your up to next time!
Thanks, no cheating on FlightRadar!
no vistors in great ocean road
Great video Stefan! Love your work 👏🏼
What a brilliant challenge for yourself. Back to the basics! Can't wait to see the upcoming episodes.
This how we trained in my day. NDB and maps. Mostly got to waypoints spot on. IFR easier. Thanks for sharing Mate!! Keep em comming

Haha, thanks Charles!
Awesome to go down to the old methods! Great video!
This is one of your best videos. Thanks Stef

Absolutely brilliant Stef! Not only am I missing flying, i desperately missing home. What a beautiful sight to see the mighty murray river in all its glory. Looking forward to the next video.
Loved it Stef, just awesome and now as I get close to my PPL flight test it’s on my bucket list.
What a great little adventure! Nicely done! Looking forward to the rest. Why did you say you weren't supposed to fly into South Australia?
The Murray River has great meanders!!! Luckily you have a big state to fly around my county would take a couple of hours I reckon. Avoiding Heathrow would be fun.
Thanks Stef. Another entertaining, and interesting video. Well done
Brilliant. As a non-pilot but (before Covid) a frequent flyer, I found this fascinating.
Im 2 min 20 into the vid, and instantly thought WOW - what a brilliant idea, as long as it's safe Stef!
Welcome to the world of microlight flying. Having to work out flights based on land features and distance between each of them. And no IMC options in microlight. I did enjoy your flight and look for part2
Anxiously waiting the next episode. Looking good.
Thank you, coming soon...
Always good to go back to paper very easy to forget. Great video Stef.
Makes one appreciate how they did it in the early days.Great idea for an adventure. Thanks Stefan.
great editing and content. Keep it up Stef
Another fantastic video Stef! Love seeing more scenery of our beautiful state, and the flying was superb! Keep up the great work.
I've been looking forward to this series since the instagram leak 😂 , perfectly timed too as I just started nav theory yesterday 🤘
Nice vid Stefan especially through these tough times that were going through in England at the moment with a third national lockdown put into place for like a month and a half so keep up the good work stef mate 😁👌👏🙌👏👍

@@Skywolf76 we have all received and given that kind of ribbing. I took it that way and I bet stef did too
Hate to add to it, but he also said the town to his right when pointing to his "other right" later on. All easy mistakes that we all make sometimes.
No tech video- then the first thing you do is show us tech which will determine how accurate you were! Oh the irony!
Haha! Loved the vid!
Awesome stef the whole thing is definitly growing and the overall quality of content has risen through the roof!
Awesome stuff Stef! Can’t wait for the rest of this series!
Thanks Nick, much appreciated.

Scenery is amazing!!
EYZ is pretty cool too ;)
What fun! Good show Steph.
Great video mate!!
Heard DCB on the radio as well 👌🏻
Was good to finally meet you in Mildura before you departed! 😁😁
Thanks Stef, unfortunately for me sometimes I don’t do the social platforms but will takeaway what I can from here.
I appreciate your response too, planning the whole picture and choice of PIC.
Cheers.
Absolutely love the documentary style you are using
Thanks, yeah thought I’d try something a bit different for this adventure. Nice to vary the format to keep it interesting.
The NT border is straight lines on the inland parts.... 😄
Awesome video mate, all the best for 2021- hopefully it's a better one for all of you guys down in Vic.
Ha, good point. Maybe “Fly The Border” can become a regular challenge on the channel.
Great series, and love the film making 👌👌
Cheers Bryan 👍
Awesome video Stef. Bring on the next episode. Let us (Mildura Aero Club) know when you are coming to Mildura again.
It is always good to get back to basics, I actually moved my ipad from the yoke to a mount on the right side of the panel, I found it a distraction, so I use both map and ipad, using the ipad to check my track and position. Great video and looking forward to the next one!
Neat idea, thanks for watching Robert.
Enjoyed the video! Thanks for sharing. Fly safe!
Kudos on great filmmaking! You make it fun to watch.
Holy cow the production and storytelling in this video is seriously amazing just like a mini documentary. Stef, you just keep getting better and better!! (although I think the cow herself may have missed this adventure?). Looking forward to the next one :)
Thanks, Milkshake is in this one briefly, you just have to spot her...
Really enjoyed this. Can’t wait for more!
The best day when Stef uploads a new video. Thanks Stef!!😁
Very nice so far mate. Have you tried OATS TO GO choc brownie ?? in the health foods section at Coles. Don't think flight following is used much here in Australia. Thanks Stef
This was so much fun to watch. Well done Stefan. Great job
What a great idea and video. Keep it all up. Thanks.
This is awesome! Such a beautiful country. I hope one day I can visit Australia.
Thanks for taking us along on your flights!

G'day Stef! Firstly, Happy New Year my friend! :-)
What a fantastic video - Really enjoyed it! - So miss Victoria! Love seeing a big paper chart back in the cockpit! hahaha. Love your work.
Take care my friend - Plus, geezz mate. Almost 100K of subscribers! Nice one!
Happy New Year to you too Ben. Thanks for that, glad you enjoyed the video.
Hey Stef! Try using half the crosswind component to account for drift, you'll find that it'll be better for tracking.
Another awesome video!
I know a nice rule of thumb for calculating your drift angle which would have kept you on track nicely during your straight leg along the western border of VIC. If your TAS is 120kt, then the drift angle when the wind is 90° to the direction of travel is half the wind speed. If you're faster, it's less than half, and if you're slower it's more than half. At 60kt the maximum drift is 1x the wind speed and at 180kt it's 1/3 of the wind speed.
Assuming your TAS was 180kt (is that about right?) your drift should have been more like 4° not 11, which explains why you kept going off track to the right.
For angles other than 90° you can use a proportion of the max drift- e.g. 20°= 1/3 max drift, 30° = 1/2 max drift, 45° = 3/4 max drift, 60°+ = all of the max drift. These are just approximations of the sine of the angle.
Great work though! Looking forward to watching the next one :)
I'm so happy to see you go back to basics!! A real Stef flight insight, just like the early days!
Would just like to smash the like-button multiple times! Nice one! Greetings from Germany!
Ha, thanks Fredde 👍
Thanks for sharing. What a wonderful adventure. Appreciate the hard work editing the footage.
This is wonderful. Great scenery, low tech navigation. Feels like proper exploring.
Hello Stefan 'expert at leaning on planes'😂
That looks like a good adventure and look forward to the following vids.
Good idea to keep up your basic skills as it's all too easy to use the gadgets.
See ya in the next one.
Safe flying.
That’s me! Cheers Sean, thanks for watching.
Great video, very well made. I like your challenge, it’s really creative and I can’t wait to see how it goes. I watched your second flight live on flightradar24 so I am really excited for the next video. :)
Thanks Oscar, yes the next episode is a fun one - quite a lot happened on the second day so I'm looking forward to sharing that. Thanks for following the adventure.
Absolutely loving the new series! Can't wait to see the rest of the border trek. Keep up the great content, Stef!
In our flight school we do it in that way before using the GPS , good video as always Stef!
14:39 “flying at an angle of 363” also known as 003 🤐 if your heading is greater than 360 you may be going around in circles (clockwise, would it be a minus number if going anti-clockwise?)
