I Almost Wrecked My Plane - Kansas River Sandbar Flying in the Maule on New Years

#backcountryflying #maule #bushplane
Join me as we kick off the new years with an epic riverbed flying adventure on the Kansas river. One small mistake and I almost did a prop strike.

Great to see Wamego again. Used to go there to watch my kids jump with the K-State skydiving club.

Those Acme shocks are going to be another great improvement.

Thank you so much for sharing! Especially the issue you had with the mound. Looking good for a first timer. I will soon have my Bearhawk finished and will be joining in on the fun! (also a first timer to off airport ops) I am following your journey for sure.

[@John_McCardle]

What Bearhawk are you building? I will be having a BH5 built in 2025.

[@barnbuiltbearhawk7267]

@@John_McCardle I am building the 4-place. Hope to be done end of 2025!

At 2:05 you can see your right wheel brake is binding. But nice vid, carry on. I love my RC Maule. Great for STOL and great as glider tug!

[@John_McCardle]

Great eye! I will get that looked at, thanks!
