    Sorry the video is a couple hours late today. I went flying all day yesterday when I should have been inside editing video, but can you blame me??
    THUMBS UP FOR FARMER RAY!!

    NICE!! Anybody that has an airplane and their own private airstrip in their yard is living the dream!

    greetings from Oregon. i'm 54 yrs old and all young life I been told I can't get a pilot's license due to being hard of hearing. When I was 25 I was then told differently by an FAA agent....just so long I don't flying radio airspace. NOW..with kit planes and ultrallights to paramotor gliders...my dream will....WILL come true! Paramotor gliding seems more cost effective but I rather have an ultralight amphibian. Working on achieving that dream. Thanks for sharing this fun video.

      Good for you!!! If you're at all in the area, there is a deaf pilot convention held at Katama Air Park on Martha's Vineyard annually. You would be the least deaf one there!! :D

      John, I attended a presentation for deaf and hard of hearing pilots at Airventure, Oshkosk in 2016. A lady from Los Angeles did a very nice presentation and I did not know about a deaf and hard of hearing pilots assosiation until then. It was very interesting to learn that there are commercial pilots that are 100% deaf. Check out this link ... www.deafpilots.org/ ... there's a lot of this kind of thing on Google. Go for it.

    Nice video! Lovely part of the world to explore by air! I began my Sport Pilot training w/ an instructor in South Dakota, who had a FlightStar IISC, w/ the HKS engine option. Even w/ only 60HP, we'd climb quite smartly from the 3200' field elevation to around 5-6000 feet to practice (depending on how cool/warm the day was). Very easy to fly; cruised at 65MPH; steep turns were a blast! Finished up my training in Ohio, in a CTLS, also a very sweet-handling plane...I worked on landings about the most; they love to float on down that runway! Thanks for posting!

    Hey Braddah, remember me? I was born and raised in Hawaii. Born in Honolulu, raised in Pearl City on Oahu. 8 generation Hawaiian/Puerto Rican. I have family all over the islands, including the Big Island. Nice to see some footage of back home! Aloha ke Akua!

    Love this video, Farmer Ray is a very cool guy. My favorite part is where he discovers he has plenty of fuel in mid air...lol! awesome!. Also, one chance landing with no go around, now that's a commitment right there. Keep flying Farmer Ray! and thanks for sharing FSF. Hope to see more.

    Fantastic video! I love the FlightStar! It looks like it flies in the same speed range and with the same characteristics as my plane (Beaver RX 550) I'm not sure if I'd trade in my Beaver for a FlightStar, but I'd definitely be tempted! :-)

      @bobbeals2893 7 років тому

      That's true. If you call a kite with a lawn mower engine attached "high weight" LOL! (but I get what you're saying). Loved you reaching out to touch the tires and the strut. Looked like you were having the time of your life! Good for you!

Not a bad idea, especially where the impact could render you unconscious. Sorry... not just a long boarder...

    the more air speed the sooner it deploys ?

    I lived in Hawaii before I was into flying, it would be a great place to fly.
    Thanks again for posting this.

    In this video Mr. Friendly takes a trip out of his normal climate, where the air is lighter and so are the planes! Curiously enough he was worried about the landing but not about how reliable a reduction gearbox is on an experimental aircraft...

    • @FriendlySkiesFilm
      @FriendlySkiesFilm  7 років тому +1

      I was waiting for your comment!! :D I'm definitely pinning them from now on. I'll go back and find all your previous ones too.

    • @computer5272
      @computer5272 7 років тому +1

      But seriously, that gearbox, makes me nervous.
      The Diamond TwinStar (DA-42) has reduction gearboxes but they have to be replaced every 300 hours.

    • @FriendlySkiesFilm
      @FriendlySkiesFilm  7 років тому

      It does!? How about the DA-40?

    • @mmatt
      @mmatt 7 років тому +2

      The DA-40 does not.
      The Rotax gearboxes are very reliable. I have an older A model (made in 1987) on my Rotax 503 and it hasn't failed yet. As long as the proper maintenance is done on them, they work very well.

    • @kkiwi54
      @kkiwi54 7 років тому +1

      Some of the best aircraft engines have gearboxes, including the RR Merlin. I haven't heard of any Rotax gearbox failures.

    • @FriendlySkiesFilm
      @FriendlySkiesFilm  6 років тому

      I don't think I could have hoped to meet anyone better on the whole island, to tell the truth. That seems to be the case wherever I go. Those who are worth knowing in aviation will make an impression that you're unlikely to forget for your entire life. I treasure the moments that have brought us together over this great hobby :)

      There is a regulation saying a civil aircraft can’t carry passengers who appear intoxicated so there’s that. Certainly would be asking for trouble from the FAA if they caught you.

    Pretty sure two place aircraft aren't considered ultralights in the USA? I think it's an LSA...

    • @TheeAthis
      @TheeAthis 7 років тому +3

      That is correct, and it requires an Light Sport Pilots License.

    • @rcbif101
      @rcbif101 7 років тому +4

      I thought so. There seems to be a mindset that if the aircraft is lightly built, it must be an ultralight. This video is not better informing anyone of that fact.

    • @TheeAthis
      @TheeAthis 7 років тому +1

      Right. The FAA separated these "light" aircraft into two categories. Part 103 and Light Sport.
      Part 103: (Today known as Ultralight no license req)
      (a) Is used or intended to be used for manned operation in the air by a single occupant;
      (b) Is used or intended to be used for recreation or sport purposes only;
      (c) Does not have any U.S. or foreign airworthiness certificate; and
      (d) If unpowered, weighs less than 155 pounds; or
      (e) If powered:
      (1) Weighs less than 254 pounds empty weight, excluding floats and safety devices which are intended for deployment in a potentially catastrophic situation;
      (2) Has a fuel capacity not exceeding 5 U.S. gallons;
      (3) Is not capable of more than 55 knots calibrated airspeed at full power in level flight; and
      (4) Has a power-off stall speed which does not exceed 24 knots calibrated airspeed.
      Light sport: (LSA Pilots license req)
      Max. Gross Takeoff Weight: 1,320 lbs (600 kg) or 1,430 lbs for seaplanes (650 kg)
      Max. Stall Speed: 51 mph / 45 knots CAS
      Max. Speed in Level Flight (at sea level In the US Standard Atmosphere):138 mph / 120 knots CAS
      Seats: Two (max.)
      Engines / Motors: One (max. if powered.)
      Propeller: Fixed-pitch or ground adjustable
      Cabin: Unpressurized
      Fixed-pitch, semi-rigid, teetering, two-blade rotor system, if a gyroplane.
      Landing Gear: Fixed (except for seaplanes and gliders)

      You're awesome!! It amazes me that a guy with well over 35,000 subscribers and several thousand views replies to little Ole me.... And so quickly too. Flying has always been a dream of mine. I initially wanted an icon a5 but im just a cheerleader and that doesn't pay so well. Then i saw farmer Frank and this video, and thought - wow! I would LOVE his life. I also picked up a flight book... Who knows? Cheerleader today, Pilot tomorrow?

    • @FriendlySkiesFilm
      @FriendlySkiesFilm  7 років тому

      Hey, it's all about the community :) I know people who have had crazier transitions in their lives! I've done some speaking at vocational schools before about pilot careers, but the fact is that flying is so different from anything else, and so intense, that anyone from any background can become a pilot if they love flying. If there's every anything I can do for you, don't hesitate to shoot me an email via the form on my website.

    A brother of a friend has offered flights up in his ultralight for years. I still haven't gone up. I'm still not sure if my fears are based on him or the plane, lol (hey, watch how a man goes through a divorce, and you'll know immediately whether or not you'd go up in a plane with him). If I could choose my first ultralight experience, Hawaii sounds incredible! Thanks!

    I guess if the engine fails at approx 7:40 you are going swimming.

    That was mad cool. Do you really feel the wind blowing you in an ultralight?

      You feel up/down drafts in a big plane too, that one was just crazy!

      Friendly Skies Film by the way. I found a Groupon for an hour lesson in Fitchburg. Taking a couple lessons when I take a week off shortly. Will let you know how it goes.

      just a heads up these are typically 30 minutes of ground school and 30 minutes in the air to decide if you want to start learning to fly.

      I tried to!! It was right when he arrived, so I gather he was busy, but he never responded.

      If it was right then he was probably very busy with ground school from his videos

    • @FriendlySkiesFilm
      @FriendlySkiesFilm  7 років тому

      Nope, just thought you guys would appreciate the takeoff. I actually thought you were referring to any number of the cuts later. The obvious ones are always just to speed things up. No need to bore you guys with a two hour flight. Trust me, when I don't want you guys to hear a part of the conversation, you can never tell ;)

    If you already have a private pilot certificate, can you fly ultralights like this?

  • @citabriaable

    Beautiful flying and scenery but shouldn't they be wearing some kind of flotation-wear for low altitude over the ocean flying ? I'm betting if that Rotax or whatever engine it is "quit" they would not be able to glide back to terra firma before taking a not so nice dip in the cold Pacific waters. Sweet but risky flying !
