@@josesbox9555 No, still have it. Thinking about selling it. I don’t use it much. Sometimes I have a friend fly while I’m in the back doing videos out the cargo door.

@ Ahhhh.

@@Xaunoki Hi, thanks for checking in. Sounds like you’re on the right track. Make sure you have plenty of fun along the way.

@@DustinNuttall Hi Dustin. Glad you liked it. Amazing country there in southern Utah. I think I’m ready to go back!

@@VoandoComMarcelo Hi, sorry, I meant to reply this morning. Most of those adhesive mounts are plastic, I probably wouldn’t trust it with a camera. You have to be positive that a mount won’t fail. It’s easy enough to make a mount that will attach to 3 or 4 screws out on your wing tip.

@@mpmcruz Hi. Glad you liked the video. Price is around $300,000 plus or minus, depending on extras.

@@mycoolbeernuts6870 Yeah, better is always better. But I’m happy to get the video a 360 camera provides me. That video was with an Insta 360 X2, insta is now up to the X4. A little better video, but for the extra battery power and space taken on the sd card, I drop the X4 performance back to X3 performance.

@@WheelsInTheSky Wheels - I was making a bad joke about your landing it looked so good and smooth like it was unreal - call it a "Videogame" - Great Video!

@@mycoolbeernuts6870 Ha, I should have caught on! That’s usually my problem- nobody knows when I’m joking.

@@portnuefflyer I see. That makes sense. My hanger in Utah is at 5000’ and it’s not as cold.

@@WheelsInTheSky I know JC caught me by surprise one morning, the place is an icebox! If you've never flown into Copper Basin, check it out sometime, but talk about cold! I usually come in via Antelope, from my place near Pocatello, following the road over the pass, then drop down to a low level circuit of the entire basin, leaving via Trail Creek, then breakfast at Mackay, awesome scenery.

@@portnuefflyer. Thanks. I’ll check it out next year.

@@purelife9000 I know. Seems that’s always the problem.

@@SteveM-q4z Hi Steve. Thanks. The flying, scenery, exploring, it’s a perfect way to spend a few days.

@@weshawkins7165 Hi Wes. Yes it is.

@ Beautiful area. Went with a co-worker deer hunting there back in 91. Stay on the property of a family by the last name of Cox just a mile or two south of the air field.

@@weshawkins7165 Yes. Amazing area. I go up twice each summer. Camp at JC, then venture out to explore the area. Can’t wait for next year.

@@FunPlacesToFly glad you liked it. Feel free to use as you’d like. That was a good time up there in Idaho. I’ve been meaning to make a video of the last trip

@@WheelsInTheSky Thanks!

@marcdragon2659. I sent your question over to Bob (that was his risen that I did the video on). Here’s his reply. The GW on mine is 1377 lb, the microlight production version in Europe weighs in at 1650. When Alberto and Reed flew his 916 non-stop from Goose Bay to Ireland, the aircraft was about 450 lb over gross weight, so there is a pretty large margin structurally. The airplane has strakes at the ruddervator fuselage point that makes it spin resistant, I got into a power on stall demonstration for my BFR a few weeks ago, and the stall occurred at about 54 knots, plenty of warning, but broke hard to the left because of the torque, nose fell through around 60-70 degrees below the horizon, I pulled power, neutralized the ailerons, stopped rotation in about half a turn with rudder. Everyone who has bought this aircraft wants the BRS as a last ditch fail safe.

@kris4897. Thanks. So glad you enjoyed it.

@@willsharphomes A few of the guys went up to Preston for breakfast. That may have been them. I slept in and then went out to work on my plane. It sure was a beautiful morning.

&Adamking8528. Let me check. If not I’ll take some more when I go out to the airport.

@@WheelsInTheSky thank you. I love the angle of that shot. I would maybe like to do something similar to my RV.

@@alphakilo-79 send me your email and I’ll send you some pics. I’ve been out to the airport 3 times and kept forgetting. But I took some today. [email protected]

@magardunoe. Interesting. I agree, seems to be just fine.

@DanFrederiksen. Yeah, right now I think everything is twice the cost it should be. Pretty disappointing, especially for us retired guys.

@StuartHutchison. Wow, I envy that you’re building one. My friend is building an F1, while he flies a Harmon. I’ll make another idea soon, my Rocket was down for quite a while for engine maintenance. But it’s back in the air again now.

@@sugershakify Great little low level machine. But probably not aerobatics down low- roll rate too slow. Even though, it does a fine barrel roll at altitude- not recommended by manufacturer. Sweet plane for getting around at a reasonable speed while sipping fuel.

@theaviatorew I did on my 185. The way I read the reg’s, no specialized tools or equipment was needed and it doesn’t alter the airframe. Simply put it on and take off with a screw driver. The bottom line is that you are responsible to make sure nothing falls off your plane. If you’re not 100% sure, I wouldn’t do it. It’s all fun and games doing videos, until something falls off and goes thru someone’s windshield. Then they loose control and hit a school bus and run into a tractor trailer, which goes off an overpass and hits a tanker truck which….. I also mostly fly over uninhabited areas.

​@@WheelsInTheSky Haha, I love your rabbit trail of your scenario. Thank you for the advice!

@Andre-z7s. Hi Andre, thanks. Nothing like smooth air. I set 2300rpm and use what ever power it takes to stay in position, usually about 21” manifold pressure. We take off from a field elevation of 5000’ so at around 7000’ we’re maxed out at 22”

@Still-Sitting. Yeah, I’ll bet that’s pretty cool on a Sim. I had hopped to go back a few more times this summer, but with all the fires, it got pretty smoky. I made that short little video just to encourage people to land North when needed due to winds. Seems to be a reluctance because standard procedure is to land south.

@@WheelsInTheSky landed an A-6 Intruder north on the sim. Unfortunately I’m paraplegic from a ladder fall. But have 14 instruction hours from my younger days. And absolutely love the sim. 2024 version comes out in November. Can’t wait. I salute you pilots. Especially ones who give beautiful videos like this to all of us. You guys are amazing. 🫡🙏

@Still-Sitting Thank you. Sorry to hear about the latter fall, I think about that a lot nowadays every time I go up a ladder or climb on the roof.- I did finally buy a safety harness I’ll get my buddy gear and make another video here shortly. Just seems life so busy nowadays. But actually, I’m just not very efficient probably

@SuperV8driver Hey, thanks for checking in. I’m retired airline, previous military. Now I’m full time just taking care of my planes and doing repairs around my old house. I’d sure love to fly the Alps.

@Latrina_Bidet_IRS_Enforcer. Yeah, I’m so upset with our economy. Everything seems to cost double what it should. Maybe drop everything but liability, to reduce your premium. Perhaps not a great idea, but it’s better than not flying. I think.

@graemecatty9921. Hi, I think he gets pretty good mileage-at least for a plane. I didn’t go back and listen to the video, instead I just sent Bob a text inquiring, and he just replied. He says at 10,500’ he’s at 195kts and 6.8gph. About 33 miles per gallon. I think 14 kilometers per liter. Better than anything in my garage or my hanger.

@PaulDouglas. Hey Paul. Yeah, it was fun. Five of us went up this morning- 3 Rockets, an RV8 and an RV6.

@lonzo61 yeah, makes a huge difference in the fun level when you have others to fly with. That’s why I like RV types so much. They feel like little fighters.

@lonzo61. Hi, thanks for the compliment. We’re pretty average guys, but we do have a lot of fun!

@lonzo61. The RV 8 is an excellent all round plane. I always thought the Swift was pretty cool to. Having a good group of guys to fly with makes a huge difference. Yes, we’re all ex-military. Pretending we’re still young.

@lonzo61. Just like the old days !

@earlstories. Either mogas or 100LL. But Bob says it likes mogas better. He just fills up some containers when he’s at the gas station and takes it to the airport with him.

@gerrykelly2440 Yes it is. I was just talking to Bob ( the owner ) a little while ago. We’re trying to arrange to go up again and do some video. We’d like to have two Risens this time.

@joellong438. It does bounce around at any speed, but the camera has good internal stabilization. Here’s a video of how I attached the camera to my plane: How to Mount Cameras on Airplanes #GoPro #Insta360 kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3yunIOGmNdsipY

@@filipv0471 That’s what I heard. I’ll have to check on its status. I know they’re pretty busy right now. Got a lot of orders at Oshkosh.

@@WheelsInTheSky i hope so. it will be fantastic

@Hoggdoc1946. Yeah, For the 915SV, based on avionics, $325-$360K

@manfredstrappen7491. Yes, it’s a pretty easy strip. I only post because I see a reluctance to land north, even when the winds are significantly from the north. But, you’re right, nice easy strip.

@dabneyoffermein595. Hi, glad you enjoyed the video. Vans still offers the RV4 kit for sale on their website. Of course they also offer several other kits. Since the kits are put together by the owners, each one is going to be somewhat unique. Burnie’s has a 180 hp engine, so it has great performance. We flew a six ship formation yesterday, Burnie was in his RV14, although he likes that plane, he made several comments about how much he likes the way his RV4 handles, especially in formation.

@@WheelsInTheSky Great info, THANKS

@gary3283. Hi Gary, nothing like a flight thru the desert! Flying in Southern Utah is why I picked up a high wing, so I could land at some of those cool airstrips.

@billybud9557. Thanks. Glad you found it. Yeah, the 185 is pretty versatile. I picked up a Husky since that video. But there’s some things only the 185 can do.

@@WheelsInTheSky The 200 hp Aviat should be great Super Cub substitute. Never flew a Husky, but want to.

@hpievyak. Thanks . Glad to hear you’ve got an airplane list !! I’ve got one to.

@justa.american8303. Yeah, pretty cool. Porto has a 916 at Oshkosh right now.

@flyguyblue1. That’s great! Yeah, he’s a good fellow. I just got the engine reinstalled in my Rocket yesterday. Planning on heading to OSH Tuesday. Thanks for checking in.

@@WheelsInTheSky wow, that's great! I hope to attend some day.

@smithbarney8164. Thanks you. That was a fun day. Looking forward to the rest of the summer- just got my Rocket flying again after being down for engine repair.

Pb8837. We landed at KBTF. Then drove over to U42 where Bob keeps his plane.

@erichetherington9899. Can’t wait to go back.

@erichetherington9899. Yeah, the best way.

@erichetherington8999. It’s an awesome place. Just got back the other day. Spent 4 days at Johnson Creek. High winds the first two days, then nice weather. Hiked Thomas Creek. And Lower Loon. I’ll see if I’ve got enough video to post something.
