Hello from Chicago. I enjoyed the video. Brings back old memories. Beautiful bay area. Stop in Half Moon Bay one day and walk to the harbor. Thank you again.
So cool to see HAF again. Learned to fly at PAO back in the '80's and used to hop over the ridge frequently to do touch-and-goes and cruise the coast. Moved away from the Bay Area in 2000 and miss it a lot.
Hey loved the video and looking g at an RV 7 or 9 until I have the time to build a 10 as well. I was interested in what you said about climbing at more than 75% power into IMC, did you say it gave you the feeling of tumbling backwards? I noticed you were pretty good at staying g focused on the panel when approaching IMC, so would you only get that feeling if you were looking outside? Just curious...the mind is a strange thing. Thanks
Awesome question! The RV has a ton of acceleration on the go around. This pretty consistently gave me a somatogravic illusion. In my training I would find myself pitching the nose down instead of climbing out on a go around. When I am configured for landing full power sends the nose into the sky! To the point I'll be climbing at over 2000 feet per minute. So I go 75% power until the plane is trimmed and flaps are up. Then full power after that. I do it gradually so I do not get that illusion. It feels like I am climbing hard when I'm actually straight and level or even pitched down. Its kinda wild. Here is a good explanation of it from bold method. www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/aeromedical-factors/the-somatogravic-illusion-causes-accidents-how-to-prevent-it-in-imc/ I hope this helps! Thanks for watching!!
@@svtpete83 thanks Pete. Always good information, so many crashes are caused by inadvertent into IMC or loss if control. Appreciate your thorough explanation!
I used a gopro max. It has 360 degrees of viewing angle. Once you sit down to edit the video you can select the angles you like. Its a pretty slick camera!
I did not build the plane. I will say that when I was shopping for a plane, fixed gear and a fixed pitch prop were on my shopping list. This was my first plane and I was very new to flying and wanted to keep flying and maintenance costs to a minimum. Thanks for the feedback and the question!
Great video! I’ve got a -9A with a CS prop and although it’s nice it’s probably overkill. Climb and cruise performance with a fixed pitch in the -9 is excellent, and a FP costs less to buy and maintain. Knowing what I know now, if I had built it, I’d have installed a FP and spent the saved dollars on avionics. 😃
Hello, I’m seeing I can put a brs parachute in the rv9 now. I fly over mountains in va and most of my return trips are at night. What are your thoughts? Are you interested in selling . If a parachute is 40 lbs how much more useful load do I have roughly with full fuel. Lastly how much fuel can you carry.
Our RV9 has 650 pounds of useful load. Main tanks hold 36 gallons of fuel and the tip tanks hold 9 extra each for a total of 54 gallons. With 36 gallons of fuel I can take another 434 pounds with me which is plenty. Even with a parachute I would not be flying over our mountains here on the west coast at night as rescues are hard to come by during the night time. That being said, at least the chute would increase chances of survival! I've never thought about selling our bird but everything is for sale if the price is right. But for us it has been the perfect aircraft! Thanks again for watching!!
@@svtpete83 no problem. I wish you could figure out a way viewer's can see the screen better. Im flying but renting a cirrus right now and looking at other options. I'm still a student pylot.
nice video. consider filter for the camera so screens can be seen without the black bar scrolling through. First video I have seen of yours, did you build or buy the RV9. Considering building RV7 vs RV9 . Will subscribe..
I ordered a set of filters today. Hopefully they do the trick! Thanks for the suggestion. For future videos I will prob mount the camera closer to the avionics so it is more clear as well. And you cannot go wrong with either. I dont do accro so the 9 was the perfect choice for me. The longer wing really gives you great performance up high!
@@GJHeckler I am just getting used to using the powerdirector 365. There was a lot of growing pains with it as I am just a burger flipper and did not have a lot of experience in video editing. 365 really helps with editing multiple cams and lining the audio up as well. As for the audio, I just use a cable sold on amazon to go from my headset connection to the gopro in the cockpit. Super simple and sounds pretty good. Hopefully as I get better at this my videos will improve as well.
Great to see another California UA-cam’ing pilot. Thank you for filming your flight.
Glad you liked it!! I'm new to this but there will be more to come!
Hello from Chicago. I enjoyed the video. Brings back old memories. Beautiful bay area. Stop in Half Moon Bay one day and walk to the harbor. Thank you again.
We definitely plan to!! Thank you for watching!

What a cool spot to learn to fly though! I am blessed to live so close by! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for posting the video. Love the RV’s. (7A owner)
Thank you for watching!!
Really great video. Hope to meet you sometime. My wife and I are building a RV-10.
That would be awesome! We would love to check out the 10 too!
I enjoyed this! Fly to KHAF often to get some actual instrument time in.
Great video. Had to laugh when you forgot to change frequencies, I have done that more than a few times!
Its my rookie move I do once a month at least! Thanks for watching!
@@svtpete83 Have you also tried to turn on the lights while still talking to approach? Cuz I've done that too!😂
@@crufflerdoug LOl I have yet to do that!

Nice flight. Did you build this yourself?
I did not build this one. I do think when I have a little more time in life we are going to take on building a 10. Thanks for watching!
Great video, thank you for sharing. How do you “rotate” camera under RH wing......What type of camera.
I used a gopro max. It has 360 degrees of viewing angle. Once you sit down to edit the video you can select the angles you like. Its a pretty slick camera!
Thanks
Great video. I have one question though. Why did you not choose to include a constant speed prop? I'm a T182RG pilot and thought that odd...
I did not build the plane. I will say that when I was shopping for a plane, fixed gear and a fixed pitch prop were on my shopping list. This was my first plane and I was very new to flying and wanted to keep flying and maintenance costs to a minimum. Thanks for the feedback and the question!

Thanks Mike! Its an IO360 180hp

@@svtpete83 Hi Peter,
How did you set up the audio? And looks like you’re happy with your video editing software...correct?
@@GJHeckler I am just getting used to using the powerdirector 365.

So not 24 squared?
