- In this video I was supposed to do impossible turn practice but the weather had a different idea! please subscribe! #texas #aviation #flying #grassstrip #challenger #airplanes #experimentalaircraft #rotax #2stroke #1000subscriber
Thanks for the video. Good to see you changing the plan with the changing weather.
Thanks for watching! Yea that's kinda why I posted it to show the reality of flying and how things can change in a moment!
Really enjoying all these Challenger videos. Keep it up!
Thank you I will! When it's not 20 degrees out!
Good video. Safe too.
Thanks!
Awesome video dude
Thank you! Hopefully I actually make the real video in the spring!
You made good decisions, you have nothing to question. I would of been more concerned if you didnt turn around and say nope this isnt going to happen. good job.
Thank you! Yea I'm all about safety I wouldn't have even flown if I thought it would be that bad!
I have felt your pain. The Challenger gets thrown around, like your riding a bull, in certain conditions.
Haha that describes it perfectly 😆
I love flying my CH 2.
The ‘impossible turn’ sends chills up my spine so my personal minimum is 500 feet. If there’s any wind higher than 10kts, I’m landing straight into wind. The slow forward speed is much safer, IMHO.
100% a high speed approach to a small runway would almost guarantee you will over shoot! That's also the decision I would make!
10:30 "simulated engine out - fuck no" That's what it sounded like you said 🤣
Omg lol I will never unhear that now! I said Vaca Moo 🐮 I think 🤔
@@TheJonjonj That's not what I heard. 🤣🤣
@@paulis7319 😆 I promise!
@@TheJonjonj next time someone asks me to do something stupid I'm gonna say Vaca Moo
@paulis7319 😆 🤣 followed up with an explanation, I assume!
Good job, thank you.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Entertainment none the less
Yea I debated on not putting this up but it's winter time so videos will be few and far! However I think it's a good thing for future pilots to see how fast things change!
It's a real example of a possible situation, no matter what it's doing out ya still got to fly that plane safely back on the ground,,shit dose happen lol
@alkempton1512 haha well said my friend! Yes it does!
Great video, great camera angle, and great flying. I most always flew my C2LW in early mornings and evenings during the summer (winters were less gusty during the daytime) because you can get bounced around like popcorn in gusty winds and it was not pleasant flying. On calm days I would go to 3K' over the strip and completely turn off the engine and just glide and circle all the way down to a dead-stick landing. It was the only way to get a real-feel of an engine out. I had no BRS, so a glider pilot I would be in the event of a real engine out, so i needed to be good at gliding. But I have to say you practicing in those gusty conditions was ok because there is no such things as perfect emergency landing conditions. Engine outs occur when you don't expect it and you didn't expect those winds, so it was a good match made practice, IMHO. I also used to fly a C1CW and on no/low wind days I could chop the power on climb out and wide-circle glide maneuver back and land down wind on the same runway I took off from. That CWS flew like a helicopter, sometimes. Good times in these little airplanes. keep up the good work.
Thank you I will! I will redo this video when weather is nice!
I think it depends on wing loading. Lbs per wing area of the aircraft your in. Cant wait to fly my mk 3✈️
I agree! All scenarios will be different! Thank you for watching
I agree to a point. But these light planes in turbulence is like taking a flat-bottom duck boat on choppy ocean waters. It doesn't really matter how heavy the boat is, it will still get tossed around in a bad way.
Reason you have to push down elevator is thrust angle of the engine being a pusher. Also with light airframe like yours wing loading is completely different then Cessna or any other planes. Your glide ratio is long. It’s like a kite. Low wing planes and planes with less wing airfoil and or war birds/jets glide slope is way different. They need lots of air speed to avoid stall.
Absolutely agreed! That's basically what I said minus the wing loading 😆 🤣 thanks for watching!
Awesome video bud. Keep sharing its cool so many people can learn.
@shergillfamily7983 thank you so much I love the positivity! It's my fuel to keep doing it!
