FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.
Thanks a bunch for your videos. I'm a 44 year old 7 hour student that has waited my whole life to pursue my dream. I can honestly say you have been a major influence in my decision. Keep up the great work!
What an honour to receive such a comment! It is rewarding to hear that I may have had even a small part in helping you get started pursuing your dream to fly!
Good job! Work hard, you'll get your license!
That thing is a handful.
Take care,
Be safe
Awesome videos, keep them coming! I recently soloed on my sixteenth birthday in August and I'm about to start my solo cross countries now. I cannot wait until I turn seventeen and can get my PPL. One day I hope to get my tail wheel endorsement, it looks like a ton of fun!
Love that multi angle shot of the approach. Great video!
Hi Steve, just started to fly the Chipmunk for my tail wheel conversion. It's an amazing plane and totally understand the juggling of controls :) Great video thankyou
Great to hear!
bubble canopy makes it look like a Japanese car.... nice vid, thanks, brakes would be great if they were not on the same side as the throttle, with the brake lever half way they come on with the appropriate pedal if set up correctly.
I really like seeing the approaches and landings from the field. As always a very interesting and fun video!!
Your trainer was AWESOME! "you're not over-speeding the flaps so I don't hate you yet..."
Excellent flying and excellent video production. I'm so jealous of all the things you get to do!
+americanflyyer - thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, I am happy to share the experiences.
Awesome flying! great to see you achieving your goal in the Chipmunk
You uploaded this video on my 241st bday. Keep up the good work! And Semper Fi & happy bday to my fellow Marine Corps brothers. For today thanks for all that served.
Did all this Easter 1963 & raced E-Type Jaguars along the M1 from Elstree Aerodrome & then did eight point hesitation rolls for Victory under the tutelage of
Andy Pankhurst!
Thoroughly enjoying watching your progress in this and all your other adventures. Keep it up! Excellent job!
+projekt89130 - thanks! Did you get to the end of the series? I still need to publish the latest, but I am now signed off to fly formation with these guys!
FlightChops Not yet - have been working my way forward from your first video. Almost there :)
Looks like a lot of fun. One of my biggest aviation regrets is never getting tailwheel qualified... or glider or seaplane or lighter than air.
Thanks! And I love your stuff by the way - I think you did alright focusing your energy where you did - I am a jack of all trades, thus a master of none.
Thanks Flight Chops. You do a great job on your videos. I like to think of myself as a Swiss Army knife when it comes to flying. I did leave one off that list, Rigid airship. All gone before my time but, it must have been a magnificent experience standing on the flight deck of one of those graceful ships. Unless of course, a small storm popped up and snapped it in two. Then, I'd rather just stay home and watch flying videos on youtube.
Love the videos...Such an inspiration for all of us... Thanks.
Everyone asking about "the line" - thanks so much for engaging - I did not expect that many :P but I failed to realize that many people have their UA-cam account settings such that I am not able to send a PM - please use the contact form at FlightChops dot com
FlightChops do you have a second channel? Because you always say "stay tuned for a full series on that" but I don't see that much coming from this channel just curious, huge fan of your videos and the quality of your work life long fan here:)
+Noah Farrell - hey Noah - I publish a new video every second Friday, and we are nearing 100 episodes now... But I don't release multi part series all in a row... So what I do for ongoing related content is make play lists on the channel home page, and add the related episodes as they are competed. There is a playlist for my original "tail wheel conversion training" that has to be near a dozen episodes... And the "mountain flying training" series that has about 8 episodes! There is also one for the WWII warbird / Stearman training that is about 6 episodes. And this episode is the 3rd in the DHC -1 Chipmunk Series that will likely get to 6-8 episodes when we cover formation and aerobatics... You've inspired me to make that play list now with the first three Chipmunk episodes that are already published.
Steve it was great to meet you today at AvWorld. Keep up the great work and thanks for the swag.
+UPS1000 thanks for coming to the event! Great to meet you as well!
Amazing videos Steve! You've inspired me to learn how to fly!
Right on!
Loved the OG Chipmunk vid. Another great one. Keep doing great!
Thanks!
Good job on learning the aircraft!
Glad you enjoyed riding along :)
"That was *&$%*# greasy." That was my grandad's favorite term for a smooth landing. It being given on your first landing in the aircraft is a huge compliment, you would've made a great ace back in the day.
Gotta know the line Stevo! Another great one mte.
your account won’t let me PM you - please email me - flightchops at gmail dot com
Nice! Making it look easy!
very awesome
can't help it.....I'm reminded of the song...
Put your right hand in
Your right hand out
Your right hand in
And shake it all about
You do the hokey pokey
And you turn yourself around
Just bought an RC Spitfire and practiced 3 point landings this morning.
You really have to stay ahead of the aircraft with the rudder on the take offs and landings, especially since the main wheels are so close together.
I had to abort one take off - I throttled up too fast and did not get enough right rudder to offset the natural pull to the left - she was headed toward the safety fence so I shut her down and started over. Once she is in the air she flies like a dream.
Was enjoying all the super cub footage when I stumbled across the video discussing the prop strike :( I am curious how the repairs are going, and if she will be airworthy again!? Thanks!
+BuzzedPancake - thanks - yes, it was a sad time... We lost almost 2 whole seasons with that plane, but the good news is she should be flying next spring!
Great video and cool airplane. Love your videos. I'm feeling the inspiration to get my license and at age 64 I'm wondering whether I should really do it. My dad was a pilot and tried to get me to learn while I was in college. Wish I had now.
Ron, the chief pilot of the CH2A is still flying everything in the fleet at 86 years old. If you can pass a medical, you can fly - get on it! :)
OK steve...you got me! I need to know the line now, please!
your account won’t let me PM you - please email me - flightchops at gmail dot com
that is a beautiful plane
agreed :)
Whats the line? Keep up the fantastic work. I love watching your videos.
I didn't realize most people seem to have their accounts set to not allow PM - please email me - flightchops at gmail dot com
Gotta love your instructor "that was fking greasy"
Nice work mate!
Thanks!
Whats the line Steve? Also, great content, very inspirational to all aviators young and old. Gotta get myself in a chipmunk someday!
your account won’t let me PM you - please email me - flightchops at gmail dot com
Very nice one, thank you :)
Steve! Great video! I'll email about the line. But I have to know where you found an instrumental version of Brisbane Nights. Love that song!
Just catching up on comment replies - I think I remember, we sorted this song thing out over email yeah?
FlightChops That we did, my friend. You're the best for being so diligent with your fans! Thanks dude!
Beautiful video, once more.
Thanks, Steve, for uploading.
I can't help but join the masses in wondering what that 'line' was about.
You tired of PMing people, yet? ;)
Cheers!
Haha - YES! I didn't think that through - But what I am more tired of is my failure to realize that most people do not have their accounts set up to allow PM - yours included :P - please email me - flightchops at gmail dot com. It is cool that so many people are watching right to the end though :)
Such a shame that ALL pilots do not have the opportunity to learn how to handle landings, especially crosswinds in a tail dragger. There are subtleties, which if properly taught and learned will increase confidence in their abilities. Which will build a solid base for a lifetime of safe flying.
That Chipmunk is beautyful... Hope I can fly those someday...
PS: What about "that" line? hahahah
I should have thought that through better - your account won’t let me PM you - please email me - flightchops at gmail dot com
Well done Mate! And PM me that line!!
Awesome stuff! Thanks a lot. Is the bubble canopy an after-market modification? I remember seeing some Chipmunks at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, and they had a more old-style canopy with several struts and rectangular side windows.
Canadian Chipmunks have the bubble canopy. British Chipmunks do not.
nice dude this is in my city in windsor
The Line! i need to know!
Nice going! Chipmunks are cool. how's the IFR training going? Got it done?
your account won’t let me PM you - please email me - flightchops at gmail dot com
i mailed you. You have mailed me last week :)
What's the line??? (I know, late to the party... But I haven't had time to watch lately... :()
Great video as usual, keep 'em coming!
What was that line?
Thanks - glad you like 'em! Your account won’t let me PM you - please email me - flightchops at gmail dot com
I just did. Thanks
Nice video man!
I gotta ask about the line though! :D
your account won’t let me PM you - please email me - flightchops at gmail dot com
Great content! Keep it up. I'm sending the email right now!
+STEVE LEVELEVE - got it and replied :)
Anyone else see this and hear "jump, jump John" "Jump, jump, sir" in their head?
Famous last words when landing conventional gear: Now you got it! Ranks right up there with, Hold my beer, watch this.
ok yes... i want to know what "the line" was!... although I'm way behind everyone in asking...
as a line collector i feel i need it :P
your account won’t let me PM you - please use the contact form at FlightChops dot com
You know I just have to ask for the line =)
your account won’t let me PM you - please email me - flightchops at gmail dot com
What were you talking about at the end of the video?! Nice video
PM sent :)
Great video! Have to ask what the line is though.......
your account won’t let me PM you - please email me - flightchops at gmail dot com
So many questions.
Did we see a spoiler at 1:00?
How does one go from regular, weekend-warrior pilot to "I have a real chance of flying a Spitfire and do all sorts of awesome stuff along the way"-pilot? (Well, we know, because somebody helpfully documented it all ;) )
Can I receive private messages on youtube?
What is "THE LINE"?
Enjoyed this video. Jealous as hell...
I thought you were flying with "The Czech pilot", and I was surprised when he had no accent
nice job! and the line is...?
Thanks Rickey - your account won’t let me PM you - please email me - flightchops at gmail dot com
On the first landing, after you mentioned having to make it to the displaced threshold, he said you were OK to land there...Are the rules regarding displaced thresholds different in Canada (from the US)? Can you actually land before them or did I miss some context?
There is no legal issue with landing in the displaced threshold. This is my home airport, and I know that surface is in excellent condition and the approach path is suitable for the chipmunk to land in the displaced threshold. It's not something I would encourage on unknown runways, or at night. For reference, here's what transport canada has to say on it.
From the Transport Canada AIM:
"When the portion of the runway before the displaced threshold is marked with displaced threshold arrows (see AGA 5.4.1), it is permissible to use that portion of the runway for taxiing, for takeoff and for the landing roll-out from the opposite direction. In addition, this displaced portion of the runway may be used for landing; however, it is the pilot’s responsibility to ensure that the descent path can be safely adjusted to clear all obstacles. "
Hehe, I'm interested in "the line."

That plane seems like a blast to fly.
Also, what's "the line"?
your account won’t let me PM you - please email me - flightchops at gmail dot com
I also must ask, are you planning on doing any classic turbine aircraft such as the de havilland vampire?
crazy enough - I do have potential access to one... interesting...
Give us the line! we are too shy to ask.
What did your instructor say about the last landing? Something about rear wheel first is for the pros? When I did training on the Falke, I was taught rear-wheel first from the beginning. What's your take on 3-point vs. wheels first vs. rear wheel first?
I said "exiting on alpha, that's only for the pros" - really a comment in jest, it's just the first taxiway on Runway 12 indicating a very short landing.
So what's the line you two were talking about? Haha
PM sent :)
Cool video, thanks! Can I get the line too? :)
Hi! I'd love to have a career similar to yours.. what exactly is your main income job? I love old aircraft and I want to fly them a bit like this.
Thanks! I am a freelance film maker
I'm extremely jealous.

The line?
Getting slow doesn't stretch the approach.
Nope... but trying to stretch it by pitching up with out adding power makes you go slow; That's a bad habit I am trying to avoid.
