No point to this video

Not very bumpy

Busy morning in Midland! Nicely done!

BS Reslution

The decision to return to the airport should have happened either as soon as the engine hiccuped or definitely when the cyl head temp started to rise... why did you wait?

Are you flying from a new airport? If I remember your old videos were from a grass strip.

Nice flight! And a perfect example of why you must say the airport at both the beginning and END of your traffic calls .. that was so annoying of that guy in Collingwood!

Oh how I miss my CH II

Soooo, let's recap shall we....these pretend pilots hear a strange and "concerning " noise coming from this flying coffin and instead of returning immediately to the field, they continue on? Outstanding safety plan. These guys are to pilots what Jeremy Dimwitte is to cops.

These guys should practice over a cemetery. Saves time.

Increase fuel mixture, decrease RPM's, and pick up some airspeed on a slow descent to the airport to cool the heads.

Kudos for staying calm but with both of them concerned about the hiccup and the rising head temperature, it means something is wrong and the prudent thing to do is get heading for the nearest airstrip first and then do what they were doing, thinking through and analyzing the situation.

Landing on green in a sea of green.. I was clueless that this was going right until he touched down. Good work.. thanks for sharing.

Flying is stupid...I can think of a better way to die

Did the owner actually say 1100 degrees when asked what a normal cylinder head temperature was? Jesus Christ! When asked what it was the day before, he had no idea. They put those instruments in for a reason. Use them, and know where they belong. Not sure what engine you have in that thing, but I try to keep my cylinder head temps around 360 degrees and will never go above 400. Above that, the wear on the cylinders due to oil thinning goes way up. Continentals usually have a 460-degree red line, but that should be considered an emergency limit.

massively overblown clickbait title, to a very dull video. very very dull

Install a fresh air scoop and do away with the cooling fan belt. Gains extra 2 H.P. as well.

If the fan belt failed you would have landed in about 2 minutes

Not to nitpick, (too late) shouldn't the deteriorating belt been detected on the pre-flight?

Not sure if I would want to fly in something that sounds like a sewing machine

Easy to solve, have the fanbelt only complete a set number of flights and log it. Simples!!

At 5:13, did anyone else think that there was a bug on their phone screen?? Lol

Should head back at first sign of trouble. Not worth it

With fan belt broken surprised CHT only rose a little - if I have a problem I keep high until landing place is in gliding distance - but guys kept very calm - nice landing.!

If power had quit at the tree line they would not be here today. They should have stayed high till the last minute over the runway coming back in

It sounds like it's already in a rad spin into the ground

In the states we say, “entering the pattern.” I thought I heard you announce, “joining the circus.” LOL

Hi Chris… trying to get a contact at the Stouffville fly club for passenger endorsement flight training. Any thoughts?

Why is your Yaw String so high up on the winshield? Nice landings. Was wondering where you had been or if you sold the plane.

That fly on the windscreen probably thinking "How the hell did I get way up here"

Wow, as an aspiring pilot, this makes me so jealous you have that plane! also, good recovery!

Thanks for the ride along, my brother built one of these. His CFI took me up and have not been up since. I subscribed to some of you commentors just for fun.

Just curious, why dont you climb out @ Vx? Most ultralight airstrips are much shorter and usually have obstacles, where Vx would be required.

For future reference...Max EGT 1200° with a 50° Split @ max, CHT Max 350°

That was a lot less dramatic than I would have expected. I'm rebuilding and modifying a Challenger 2 with a 503, and was wondering how drastic the over heating would be if the fan belt let go. It does heat up, but it doesn't seem to be catastrophic and is manageable. That sure is a relief. Cheers from Winnipeg.

Chris I'm interested in getting a challenger 2, what pilot license would I need the fly or is it classified as an ultralight

Does it steer easy with skis?

What feeling! good for you i'll drop in on my circumnavigation of Canada in 2022

Is your electric fuel pump in series or parallel?

What’s the purpose of keeping the electric fuel pump running? I only use mine for a couple seconds before starting and for emergencies

Which engine? 582 or 503 (or?)?

I think I've done that same flight in the simulators at least 100 times. :) .... Maybe 2021 will finally be the year... Cheers!

Thanks! I suspect the days when a Challenger flight isn't bumpy would be few?

I do the flight from Baldwin to Midland in X-plane all the time, and the 2000 is in my satellite scenery. :)

Can you post it in real time as well? Looks like a fun roller coaster.. ;)

Turning final 426? ;)

What the length of runway and can you land and take off from your own property let say 20 acres?

What is your callouts you in your checklist?

Great video! Your audio is amazingly clear. Whats your setup?
