    “I don’t like that, I’m going to go around “
    That statement is the wisest thing you or anyone can say

      I think he decided to go around very early somewhere still by the threshhold. That runway was super long. I think he could've easily decended and put it down. His 2nd approach was no different from the 1st and he landed. But I agree with you when in doubt go around no doubt.

    I just did my first solo at Davidson last month. Cool to see you out there man. I’ve been following your videos for a while. Come say hey if you ever see a teal RV6-A. N121DS. I actually saw another sling that was orange a couple weeks ago at KEXX and pointed it out to my instructor. Fly safe.

    Stall warning! I'm glad you said that. I am sitting here working and watching UA-cam videos with a bunch of equipment monitoring equipment behind my desk and that beeping started and I was immediately up out of my chair trying to figure out which peice of equipment in the building was melting down or blowing up. Great airmanship BTW !!!

    I'm from Manitoba where uncontrolled airport always meant no other traffic. I called out all my positions over and over many times and no one ever heard them as far as I know (maybe there was some guy who I didn't see with a broken radio that could receive but couldn't transmit :-).
    So weird to watch a US uncontrolled airport where there's actually someone else to hear.
    Congratulations on your beautiful plane Mike!

    Nice landings Mojo. I remembered my 1st landing in my M20C back in September. I was nervous as hell, but somehow I greased the landing. I got over confident after that landing as the 2nd and 3rd got worst so decided that was enough for the day. Low wings are pretty slippery, fortunately I have speed brakes to help me slow down as needed. Congrats on the plane again👍👊.

  • @EdwardHefter
    @EdwardHefter 3 роки тому

    Mazel tov, Mike!!! So awesome to see your bird in flight. I like that you have specific goals for each practice flight (like staying on the centerline) - much better than just flying with no real goal. And the go-around is one of the most important techniques that too few people use. It’s almost never a mistake. Many happy years of flying, Mike, in this and any other plane you build or buy.
