This was really cool to watch. Thanks for bringing us along. I thought it was kinda funny when you answered back landing being harder and she said great 😆
Hi, I’ve been enjoying all your videos!!! You should feel very proud of the great airplane you’ve crafted! You are living the dream that many many have (including myself). Keep up the great work in flying, filming and editing your videos. I have a question, can the AOA be adjusted? If so, will you adjust it to come off when the wings are in more relevant angle? Or is it supposed to go off that early? Thanks!!! Keep the video coming please. Regards, Eloy
Yes there is a problem with the AOA. It needs to be adjusted. It was adjusted during phase one flight testing to aggressively by my test pilot and needs to be recalibrated. But that can only be done in the air. It’s on my list to do. It does not bother me as it is now. Most find it annoying. Thanks for the kind words.
@@CraftingN112DR that’s great! You mentioned in one of your videos that you didn’t have to go through a PPL training. Is 2DR registered as LSA? I still trying to understand the requirement differences between LSA, SLSA, etc. I assume you had to do aspire Pilot license training (?)
@@backtorcworld5608 I did not have to go through PPL because I have had my PPL since 1988 so it was just a mater of getting the BFR and medical. N112DR is a E-LSA and is based on the S-LSA version of the RV-12iS that Vans builds in there factory. E-LSA aircraft are built by amateurs S-LSA aircraft are built in a factory setting. The minimum requirement to fly a LSA is a Sport Pilot Certificate or better. With a sports Pilot Certificate you are limited to certain air spaces and can't fly at night. If you are a PPL (its really not PPL because we hold a Certificate so its Private Pilot Certificate. As a certificate does not expired like a license does. Should really be PPC, but everyone calls it PPL) to exercise your flying privileges as a PPL you need to have Basic med or better) if you're flying with a sport pilot certificate then all you need is your drivers license as a medical but are limited to the requirements of the sports pilot certificate.
Pretty cool that she went up with you. Just as a point of constructive feedback, I'd probably abbreviate the abort criteria stuff for a nervous passenger down to something like "this is how we get out in an emergency" and then tell them the pertinent details - "push this forward, push this up and walk/run in a direction that is safest." Most passengers don't care where you're going to do in the event of an emergency and telling them all the engine out stuff only predisposes them to thinking about it. Your daughters first words after talking about an engine failure were "has any of that happened before?" So, she's clearly thinking about it. For a pilot, yeh, the abort criteria is good stuff. For a non-pilot, it's a predisposition to being scared, if they're already nervous. Just my $0.02 and we all know what that'll buy.. LOL
Very good advice, I have leaned a lot from everyone in this audience and I see the error in my ways. This is exactly why I put my videos out there to be critiqued. Thank you all.
Looking great!!

I should have told a white lie.

@@CraftingN112DR Thanks for the reply! What cruising speed are you getting from N112DR?
@@backtorcworld5608 about 109 TAS

Amanda seems to be cold...how well does the heater work in that RV ?
Very well, so well that she wanted it off.

@@CraftingN112DR It's excellent you're able to take the critique in a positive manner. :)
Beeping would drive me nuts!
AOA
I’m sure glad mine doesn’t have an AOA that is just annoying, making it useless.
A very nice flight with your daughter. What a great time together.
can that aoa be dialed back to be less aggressive? I would begin to ignore it.
