  • I need a way to get from Isle of man to UK quickly, and a fast stunt plane was the best idea I could come up with........ or was it?
    Also, it's the most fun you can have in a plane and hopefully you will like the footage!

    Listen, this is very serious. I'm an experienced pilot with hundreds of hours in Extras. The holes in the swiss cheese are lining up here. I can think of countless fatal accidents where rich inexperienced pilots have gone all out and got a powerful first aircraft. Please take the time to train in a typical Cessna or Piper. The likelihood of getting yourself killed in that Extra is high and when you crash a light aircraft you either die on impact or burn to death. This is a serious matter. You don't know better than experienced pilots. You don't know what you don't know. Get your PPL in a PA28 Warrior or Cessna 152/172 and build experience in those. You'll think you know bettter until that 10 second window when you realise you messed up and it's lights out. Aircraft failure isn't the main killer, it's pilot attitudes that are the biggest risk.

      Kevin my friend! - stick to what you know best! I am an experienced pilot ( retired now) this aircraft WILL kill you! It suits experienced pilots - NOT novice pilots like yourself! We all have to learn but do not start with 360hp aerobatic aircraft- if you wish to aspire to that then fair enough! But, gain your PPL first and a few hundred hours under your belt first! 😮 I am serious - believe me!!

      He needs to watch more Pilot Debrief to get an idea of how quickly things can spiral out of control in these small(er) airplanes. I couldn't agree more with you, and I'm not a Pilot. I watch a lot of Pilot Debrief, Mentor Pilot, Etc., and there's just so much evidence on pilots that get in over their heads where a simple mistake kills them.

      I think all the experienced pilots brow-beating this guy for buying a fast airplane failed to pay attention to his intro. He explained how long it takes to get from one place to the other. Therefore he wanted to do the trip quicker in the Extra vs a slow Cessna. I doubt he plans on any barrel rolls or flat spins along the way.

    I seriously can't wait to see your progress through flying and going through everything from straight and level, ground ref maneuvers, stalls, cross country flights, and hopefully even your instrument rating! I'm an airline pilot, always wanted to do aerobatics, and I am incredibly jealous of your Extra and couple aerobatic flights so far haha
    But for real, take it slow, don't get ahead of yourself, and be humble. Lots of people get killed by hubris via aviation.

I've loved the monster truck series as well, and now you've gone and got an airplane. Please, please, please, listen to all the advice from your instructor and don't fall victim to temptation to start going crazy with this plane any time soon. I was an instrument flight controls specialist in the Air Force, and I know how complex and dangerous planes can be, especially the high horsepower, high performance models.

  • @markjarrett6893

    As someone with over a thousand hours just on high-performance tail-draggers, I can safely say that an Extra is probably the last aircraft I would purchase for your planned mission. Even forgetting the significant aerobatic capability and instability of the Extra, the weather over the Irish Sea is poor at the best of times, with either solid IFR or at best a very limited visible horizon to assist you. Sea crossings on even the nicest days have a nasty habit of the sea blending into the sky and you feeling like you are flying in a goldfish bowl unaware of which is up or down! You require an aircraft with IFR capabilities, preferably FIKI and a stable instrument platform - an autopilot would also be of great benefit!

    @turbocateyeS475 16 днів тому +53

    As someone who has flown both real airplanes and RC airplanes, its about 100x easier to take off and fly an actual airplane even for long distances. Now remembering what all the switches and knobs do and landing safe and smooth is the hard part. Im talking about single propeller planes tho, I know nothing about jets or multi props. But I took off and flew a cessna before I graduated high school. My first flight was over an hour. Ive never had a rc plane fly more than 3 mins without crashing. A stunt plane is a wild first choice but I can't knock it. Still light enough to glide pretty well incase of engine failure. Just focus more on learning than actually filming or cameras until you get comfortable. A tumble wumble hits alot different from hundreds and thousands of feet in the air.

    • @muskokamike127
      @muskokamike127 16 днів тому +8

      If you've flown, you should know about lift....a low wing sport plane has minimal lift and relies on HP to keep it up. A high wing like a cessna doesn't require a lot of power to keep it flying. For eg: the stall speed of a cessna 172 is 40 knots, an EA-300 is 55 knots. (almost 50% faster).
      with a high wing aircraft, it basically WANTS to fly level since the weight is below the wing. A low wing aircraft all the weight is above the wing which makes it want to tip over, hence why you can do aerobatics with them.

    Not to mention that it's a terrible cruiser. Uses up a ton of gas, doesn't carry very much, it's very uncomfortable, and you'll probably freeze in it. You need a Diamond Katana, mate.

    I am 100% behind you Kev as far as getting your pilots license Kev. But you really need to listen to everything your instructor tells you. Everything about aviation is about being 100% thorough. There are no short cuts and if something goes wrong the outcome can be pretty binary. I'd like to keep watching you for years yet, so do everything properly.
    As nice as your new plane is, it's fundamentally not the plane for a beginner, or even very good for doing distance. The plane you are learning on, and say something like the Cessna 172 are very stable planes and are much better for the first couple of years of flying.
    That kind of lack of control responsiveness and stability gives you time to figure out what is happening and get yourself out of bad situations.
    That aerobatic plane is the very opposite, and you need years of experience to fly it safely.
    Anyway, best of luck.

    I know several people that died in airplane crashes. It happened more often than you think, one little mistake like forgetting something on the check list and it’s over. Sometimes there is paper thin room for error and sometimes even experienced pilots crash due to mistakes or freak accidents such as the seat rolling back on takeoff causing the yoke to be pulled back or spacial disorientation which is especially not uncommon over water even to experienced pilots. It even happens to fighter pilots in sophisticated aircraft. Case in point, there is a thousand ways to crash due to carelessness, weather, mechanical issues or other pilots not paying attention.

      Goes home or dies… not the type of industry to go big if you don’t have the experience. This is not a toy like a lambo. I love kev but this is just a really bad decision. Even for cruising this is basically the worst plane possible. Way better of with just a Cessna or something like that

Mark is a legend, even here in the states if you follow aviation. Glad you got the Extra, makes perfect sense for travel. Fits all your luggage, easy to fly, haul youself and all your friends around confortably, economical to fly and maintain, perfect sense 😂. My pops had an rv-6 and it was a rocket of a prop plane, slightly similar in design to the extra, kinda. Eagerly awaiting this series!

      He doesn't seem to understand the foundations that flight safety is built on, and nor do a concerning number of commenters (though some are all too painfully aware).
      Even if he has a different attitude buried inside his head somewhere, why show this side to the world to potentially lead others astray?

  • @knight907
    @knight907 16 днів тому +8

    Learning to fly is pretty easy. It usually doesn’t take more than 4-6 hours to reach a level of competence that will allow you to take off, fly a pattern, and land…in a Cessna at least. With a couple months of solid practice, I’m sure you’ll be able to do the same in the Extra. Also, by then, you’ll have realized that it is absolutely the **worst** plane for what you want to do. Aerobatic planes aren’t made to fly anywhere. They’re made to take off, do aerobatics over an airfield, and then land…at the **same** airfield. They **can** be flown from one place to another, but they’re uncomfortable, unstable, and really bad at all the things you have to do while flying from one place to another. That’s ok though. You apparently have an infinite supply of money, so once you’ve realized what a ridiculous mistake you’ve made, you can tuck your Extra into the back of a hangar somewhere, buy a Cirrus or a Honda Jet or something that’s actually pleasant to travel in, and forget you even own the Extra. 🤷‍♂️

    Everyone speaking with the exception of Kevin is correct. Having been a part of the aviation community for years as a certificated pilot I can sadly say we've all known and seen these type of want-to-be-pilots come and tragically go, leaving the rest of us broken-hearted with the clouds of NTSB investigations hanging over our heads and rulings made in response to the untrained and foolish actions of those who won't listen. My 5 year old loves Kevin, as do many many others and even he asked why is he not listening to the others so he doesn't get killed. We will pray for him to come to his senses and stick with flight training and flying in a sensible and docile aircraft. The only "to-the-moon" and "more power" we want to see are more RC cars not his one and done imitation of a lawn-dart. Wake up Kevin.

I’ve had the pleasure of flying vintage fast jets and aerobatic aircraft, and currently own a very high performance complex aeroplane. But i started on a little trainer which is exactly what Kevin needs to do. I imagine he’s putting this on for the camera but the amount of mistakes he’s made in this video alone is concerning, like flying an Ikarus C42 to learn on despite that not even being the same licence as the one he wants!

    That techno babble waffle is what is going to preserve your life. A casual attitude to even the smallest detail can do you in. Risks don’t add they multiply when flying and the pressure to make UA-cam videos and/or to save time make it extra risky. Will you still fly if the weathers a bit dodgy and you have a deadline? Take care mate.

And go straight to crashing with RC. I sincerely hope you pay attention to the techno babble. And get some serious hours under your belt before you dance that "extra" all over the sky. Break something up there you may not walk away from it. 21:46 several hundred hours and your still alive. I suggest getting simulator if you don't have one already and rack up as many hours as you can. I have watched to many stunt pilots fatally crash. I do not wish to see a RIP Kevin Talbot video in the next few years. Chase your dream but be cautious and get the skills and knowledge.

    I fly Cessna Caravans for a living, imo for visiting family you're probably better off with something like cirrus (for practicality) but power to you nothing wrong with buying that thing. You really need to take your time, respect the limits and never push yourself. Accidents can and do happen and complacency is where it starts, aviation is dangerous when not respected.

  • @nixxonnor

    Awesome Extra. Here are two canopy-related pieces of advice: Make shure that nothing comes loose inside the cockpit when you fly. Close all zippers in your suit. If a camera or some other tool hits the inside of the canopy during sudden negative G's, the canopy could easily break. And then you are without a usable plane for months and it will probably put you back at least £ 20k as suggested in this video. And make shure the canopy latch is locked completely before starting the engine. Or if there is a chance a helicopter may hoover close to your plane.
