I would love it if you could call out your approach speeds as you're on down wind, base, final and short final. You could also talk through what your plan is during cross winds landings. Love your videos!!
Hey mike. Great idea. I’ll do that next time for sure.
What a great plane. I can't miss any of your videos. Keep up the great work you do David.
David, keep it up.. You are doing an awesome job. I enjoy the outstanding video work along with your clear narration. Yeah.. I'll keep dreaming of a Tri-Pacer and maybe one day.. 🙂
Thanks man! Hopefully one day!
I know you're on your way west right now, just checking in for a new video. Looking forward to seeing it!
Day 3 of my trip. I am trying to do some live updates on IG if you are interested. Theschmaus is my account. Have a good week!!
Great content David, I like what you did with the opening scenes and the coloring, nice to see how your new videos are coming along
Thanks Carlos. I had some time while I warmed the plane up. Pretty fun to shoot.
Awesome videos!!!! I just took delivery of my Tri Pacer today.
Oh man that is so exciting! Congrats. Hope the weather is looking good where you are.
@@davidschmaus1 The weather is awesome here in Ft. Myers. 94FL
The silhouette image at 0:19 - 0:20 is classic: "Man and his flying machine". Sort of resembles a thoroughbred in the stables, champing at the bit with the trainer or jockey covering it with a blanket. Way cool.
Thanks man. I enjoyed shooting those opening shots while I warmed up the plane!
David, Enjoy your videos. I fly out of KIGQ south of Chicago with my Tripacer. Would like to meet you sometime, maybe spring or early summer for some comradery. after your California adventure. Flew mine from Prescott, AZ back to Chicago. Good flying. May the weather be fair and the wind on your tail.
Thanks John. That would be great. My son lives in Aurora and I have been wanting to fly up to see him. When the weather clears we will plan something.
If you plan to fly over high desert, do it in the morning before you get the desert convection. That really can get rough!! I know!! John
Absolutely. TY!
Awesome video! Great adventure.🦅
Thank you!
I see you you upscaled to Bose. I bought my Tri-Pacer at Gillespie Field (San Diego area) in 1977. Still flying it. Have a safe trip to California.
I bought them for my wife and thought I would try them for a bit to see if I I like them better than the David Clark’s. So far it’s a wash. I have flown out of your airport before. Last winter I came in the general pacer out of your airport. I plan on flying there on this trip. Maybe we will have to do some flying together.
@@davidschmaus1 Sounds great. Keep in touch....
Sounds like you may be passing near Albuquerque. I've got an empty hangar you can put your plane in overnight, if you want. All it will cost you is a flight around the local area. 😉
That actually might work. What airport are you at?

This is crazy but that Velocity flew straight over my house at almost 200 knots from South to north. He basically flew directly over WPAFB. I had to look it up to see what the heck it was😆 Yes I'm obviously an avgeek but I'm proud of it. I am so looking forward to following along on your trip. I really hope you have a great time and as always fly safe.
That’s crazy. He was coming from NC and headed to Michigan. That thing seems like a XC machine! Thanks man. Looking forward to the trip!
I've been to Moraine several times during visits to the Air Force Museum. We could've landed at WPAFB, but the Air Force is a pain in the neck to deal with.
Nice people at Moraine. Enterprise would drop us off rental cars too!
Subscribed. Flying my recently purchased tri-pacer from concord, ca to houston, tx the second week of February wx permitting.
That’s awesome! Would love to hear how that trip turns out!
Flew kccr-kwjf-kblh-ktus-kelp. Had to leave her behind due to the winter storm in Texas. Hopefully will be able to complete the trip on friday and saturday. So far, it has been an epic trip with beautiful scenery. Absolutely beautiful flying little airplane.
@@titanhank1 glad to hear! Hopefully you will be able to pick her up soon!
Hi There David, what engine do you have in the Tri-Pacer?......150 or 160Hp Lycoming? Used to fly a 160Hp in South Africa, it performed exceptionally well. Even with four people, full tanks and baggage. From an airfield 4100FT AMSL (Wonderboom Airport, Pretoria, South Africa) on a hot summers day. Handled all the bush airstrips wherever (in or out) we went. One gets a lot aeroplane for the dollar. Really enjoying your videos.
Hi Johan. It’s the 150HP. If been in a 160 and you wouldn’t thin that extra 10hp would make a difference but it really does! You are right though. It’s a great plane for the money! Thanks for watching.
Nice video David, I truly enjoy your content.
Thanks Ronald. Really appreciate the nice comment man.
She flies again.....yey! Nice video David. Cant wait to fly mine again. Been battling with the dreaded " Lurgy" thats apparently doing its rounds throughout the world at the moment. Unfortunately I contracted C19 and its been a real battle. Safe flying bud.
Oh man Vincent. That’s terrible. Really hope for a full recovery man.
@@davidschmaus1 thanks bud. Im trying.
Two mile final... isn’t that just cruise at low altitude? 😂🤣😂
Yes. It absolutely is. It’s felt like I was flying an instrument approach.
@@davidschmaus1 I’m looking forward to the videos from your trip. When are you heading west?
@@earthsciteach thanks! I leave on Feburary 22nd. Can’t wait!
Did you fly through Gila Bend, AZ?
First! Safe travels!
Thanks so much!!
Im based out of greene County thats funny
What about AZ where do you think you might stop at?
I feel like I want to explore Arizona a lot and should land at Sedona. I haven’t researched AZ yet. I’m open for any suggestions.
When do you plan to start your western journey? Are you still considering oxygen? Seems like a good idea if it can be portable.
Heading out of Ohio on February 22nd. I am definitely taking oxygen. Just not sure which system yet.
is it possible to transport your paramotor on ur pvt plane? i know nothing about aviation frankly :) - i am guessing you will to have to break it down to transport it, but not sure if its even legal in the first place!
It sure is and I’ve already checked and it fits. I think I am taking my free fly wing and harness and skip the parameter this trip.
Will you be coming through the D/FW area?
Fairly close. Wichita Falls.
The opening sequence was very rushed but I assumed you did allowed the oil and engine temps to at least touch the green on the indicators before applying takeoff power?
Yeah. Warmed her up for an hour. I figured it would be boring to watch. :)
