Great video. Love the Lancair Legacy, and would really like to fly one some day. I'm flying a 182 now, so it would probably be like going from an Explorer to a Ferrari. LOL Can't wait to see the next one.
@@JollyRogerAviation very true! I fly over every year, there’s no “official” NOTAM or traffic pattern but the generally accepted practice is counterclockwise N/W/S/E using the outer edges of the fields. I’m in a 172 and have sometimes been overrun by faster aircraft, it’s ok for slower to be lower (1K) and faster above (below 1300) and wider. I use BVS’s frequency for intentions (like field turn advisories) and to deconflict with other traffic. Kinda reminds me of an average summer day in the AWO pattern!! Really enjoy your videos, great job, hope to see you out there this summer 👍👍
Enjoy your videos, and listen to your talk about 28 years in the Jets and now in your Lance air, at 160 on shorter field runways. As I only flew small GA planes and some rides in the Right seat of a Twin back in the 1970s in Cessna 150 172's all the Glass panels and Fiber materials in planes is new. I did most of my Flying in So Fla at Garden Aviation as J.D Mc Carther personal strip that was 8 ft wide and 3000 Feet long Gave me the skill to feel comfortable landing on most any small airport as PBIA was over 8000 feet which seems forever in a Cessna or piper Archer to land or take off.🙂 Can only wish for a fast Lance Air at 78 yr old
Thank you allowing us to follow along with your adventures. Constructive Crit & a tip from on the production side, any post music added to the video during editing should not blow out everyone's speakers. 🙂
Nice. The Lancair must be the precursor for all the light sport aircraft that look like it. Isn't it technically required that you stay above 500feet AGL unless landing? maybe don't make it too obvious :)
Nose comes up on the legacy around 70kts. Last night we took off SEA-DCA in a 737-800 fully loaded, 4.5 hour flight so not that much fuel and we rotated at 150kts.
@@JollyRogerAviation I understand in years past pilot's were stigmatized for reporting unidentified objects in the air space but that seems to be changing. I asked because I witnessed something once on a flight that I couldn't make sense of.
Thanks Sam. I machined a small part on my lathe that bolts up into the tail tie-down slot which I then clamp my GoPro onto. I’ll try to remember to show it in the next video. Does the 360 have a recessed threaded hole for a tie down eyebolt?
Was there anything special in the pattern for you to make a tight turn into final at what seemed to be like a pretty low approach on final? Very nicely done!
You can’t really get the Navy out of me lol. I’ve never flown box patterns, it’s always been a constant 30* AOB, descending turn from the abeam all the way to final for me. I’m still kinda getting a feel for the descent rates of this plane and have had to drag it in a bit with power….trying to get the feel for a tighter pattern so I don’t have to do that.
@@JollyRogerAviation I wrote based of the click bait title before finishing the video.😅 I still assume it to be true for many small airports so I left it up. 🤔😉
@@Kirk_Wood the $100 hamburger is an aviation term many use. It’s based on how expensive it costs to operate an airplane. When you do even a short trip like the 12 minute flight in the video….the fuel, hangar, insurance, annual inspection turns that $12 plate of French fries into $100 plate based on how much it cost to get there. It’s not clickbait if it’s true 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Cheers brother

Bet it would be awesome to fly over the Lompoc California where they grow so many different flowers. I've seen it from ground level and it is beautiful, from the sky it just be spectacular! As you celebrate this Resurrection Sunday, may you remember God’s Perfect Love for all mankind, and may that Love fill you with Hope for the days to come. Today is an opportunity to thank our Lord, Jesus Christ for his ultimate sacrifice and to live in gratitude for his cleansing of our sins. May ALL the Choicest Blessings That The Life In Christ Bring, Be Bestowed upon you and fill your Life With Peace, Joy, and Love From Him! May all who seek You Rejoice And Be Glad In You; May all those who Love Your Salvation always say, "Let God Be Exhalted!" (Psalm 70:4) As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
In the eighties, my folks would fly their Malibu from Scottsdale to Sedona for breakfast.
$100 breakfast….love it!
As I sit here in my 2nd bourbon of the night after a 14 hr work day, I am hollering (silently)stop weaving on that take off! Love these vids!
Easy sir…I haven’t used my rudder pedals in 28 years 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Lol
@@JollyRogerAviation go back to the 2 bourbon portion 🤣 it could have been dead staright🤣😁
Camera angles are really good; makes the experience so much more relatable.
Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate that!
This is my new favorite channel! Beautiful plane!!
Oh man Austin you just made my day! Thanks for that. Been waiting on weather to go for another quick flight…it’s been crappy lately!

Where do you live? Never know 🤣. This thing really is a little sports car for sure!
@@JollyRogerAviation NW Georgia, fly out of Centre, AL KPYP.
@@md4droid ahhh well ya never know, we do plan on lots of x-countries!
Great video! That bird scoots!
It’s kinda ridiculous lol. Can’t slow it down!
“Just don’t make me throw up”😂😂
She has so many little zingers like that I don’t think I catch them all 🤣
Nice plane!! They called it a $100 hamburger when I got my license over 20 years ago. I'm sure it's a $300 hamburger these days.
lol yep that sounds about right 😆
Really figured out the audio and camera angles. Very cool.
The volumes are tricky! Getting there!
Great video, haven’t made it above there yet myself so appreciate it! 👍✈️🍀
I hear it can get a bit busy over the tulip fields in full bloom. Head on a swivel!!!!

Thanks KB, enjoy putting these together.
Won’t be long and you’ll have her doing the briefing and comms…
She eventually wants to learn to fly enough to get it in the ground! 🤣
@@JollyRogerAviation hoping you meant ON the ground…😳🤪 It’ll stick itself IN the ground with a minimal help.
@@georgedreisch2662 🤣
Really liked this one. Thanks -
What did you like specifically? Just trying to get feedback to improve the videos moving forward. Thanks for the comment!

Right on John 🤙
I'm out of Bellingham. I would absolutely love to go for a ride. Happy to split costs and buy lunch. Working on my license currently.
Would be fun to get a viewer’s reaction! Ya never know.

I’m getting a handle on that! I appreciate the feedback
Love you guys! Kya is next! 😊
Let me know when!!! I’m all about doing that!
Hope you saved me at least one taco! Lol fun video yall.
Tacos, it’s what’s for dinner!!!

No that’s not exactly accurate. Theres very specific verbiage when it comes to that type of thing.
Because I have no clue…
How fast does that plane need to be for take off?
How fast for one of the Bigguns you fly?

@@JollyRogerAviation cool, Thanks!
I'm curious if you've ever seen anything out of place in the sky when flying?
I’ve seen things that mess with your eyes / head but later make sense.

I really like the new camera angle on the tail. How did you mount it? I would like to install one on our 360.

Are you going to be at Webb's June 17? I'll have to make it out there
Absolutely YESSSS!!
do you practice aerobatics in the Lancair Legacy
I haven’t yet but plan on doing mild maneuvers. It has no zero or negative oil system so as long as you keep it positive, it’s good up to 4.5 Gs
I'm willing to bet many small airports over charge customer because they are barely getting by staying operational.
Ehhhh their prices were fine….the gas & maintenance on the plane to get there is what’s expensive lol
