    Glad Nikk is recovering. Prayers bro.

  • @DCGULL01

    Love Nikk- many prayers headed his way for a speedy recovery. His quick smile, his humor, his obvious love of flying- I hope his down time is short, but, glad that he's still among us- a great addition to your wide and varied group, Trent. Obviously, the accident was caused by hypothermia. It must've been hard to fly in the cold and imposing shadow of TRENT PALMER, heating vents would've helped that scene.
    Thanks for the numbers, and, the insights of the 915 iS. It's easy to forget all of the FADEC tech, dual alternators, engineering and planning that went into the design/build of that motor. I agree, it's super well considered from all aluminum construction to dual ECU's, programming, etc... I will admit that I'm a little sad that it lost some of it's zippy, fighter characteristics, but, the slight forward C of G will have that stabilizing effect, the increased weight (inertia) along with no modifications of wing or tail feathers will net out a little less responsive overall.
    It looks friggin awesome (love the carbon V on the front cowling!), it climbs like Draco -OK, almost like Draco, and, I adore the teddy bear in the mouth of that rangy fox... I sense a purchase in my near future! I enjoyed the cub vs. fox ribbing, but- let's be honest- they're BOTH great planes! (Don't tell Cory or STOL Pilot Quinn I said that tho!)
    Hey, we need a house update soon. Can't wait til you're flying out of your driveway...
    Thanks for the info, we've all been waiting!
    Dave
    P.S. Thanks for the Garmin G3X input, I found it very insightful. I like the way it integrates firewall forward, it seems to mate up well with the Rotax engine, which seems to be well planned in case of failure...THEY seem to work well together...

    As an A&P, and a pilot, I have to say it’s nice to hear a pilot speaking fluently with a clear understanding of this type of stuff. It kills me when I hear people say insane stuff like: “carb heat reduces the effect of gravity so the fuel can flow easier” because they don’t understand the machine they’re operating thousands of feet in the air.
    Anyways nice work as always, and sorry to hear about your friend.

    Nikk, don’t let injuries get you down. If you survived, you can recover, and you’ll recover with an outlook on life, a second chance, that many don’t get. You will come out galvanized, you will see clearly what matters in life. (Not that you don’t already)
    Thanks for sharing your stories with us Trent, Nikk, and the rest of the fliers.

    Trent, full details of the crash would be good to put out there when you are ready. Many people following your videos and your exceptional flying (you make it look easy) have no idea how close to the limits you guys are flying and how quickly something can go wrong.
    I hope Nikk gets back in the air soon.

    First off, Prayers to Nikk for a speedy recovery. I lost my mother this past week and her father was the one that had everything to do with my love for all things that fly. The brevity of our lives is one thing that we really take for granted. I can see the passion that you guys have for flying and for living your life to the fullest! As for now, I am an RC guy but events of the last couple of years have made me realize how much I miss flying. Your videos have steered me more towards getting back in the air than any others. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your passion,experiences,and insight with us all ,Trent. Fair winds and safe landings to you my friend and prayers to Nikk for a speedy recovery and return to the air.

    I'm glad Nik made it to hospital, I don't do prayers, but I certainly wish him the fullest, speediest recovery possible, and note that technology and medical care has never been better than it is today, so thanks to the hard, unceasing work of good people at universities, hospitals, laboratories and so on, chances of recovery from traumatic injuries have never been as good as they are right now.
    I'm no pilot, but I work with high-voltage electrics where things can also go bad in an instant - my advice is check that you are shitting yourself every time you do it - as long as you're still aware enough to be scared, you'll stay careful. One thing I do that some think is weird, is I vocalise my checklist as I'm doing it, hearing my own voice is somehow like hearing someone else ask me, and I'll double-check and answer myself as I'm writing it down. Keep checkin' those filler caps, Trent. (PS this second paragraph is just general comment from someone who regularly works in an area with great hazards - I do not mean to imply that a lapse in procedure had anything to do with the particular accident Trent described).
