AIR CAM FLYING OVER AIRVENTURE | VLOG0095

[@atlasair]

As someone who just got started with the Young Eagles program, this guys story of how he's the only one in his family that is involved with aviation inspires and motivates me. Coming from a family where I'm the only one interested in aviation, I thought I had no chance of ever becoming a pilot but seeing how this guy did it, it motivates me to put in the effort. It was great seeing Josh at Eaa and hopefully I'll see you guys there again next year!

[@hobie1613]

Zach Godkin Cool! I am 13 and the only person in my family that is as passionate about aviation as most pilots. I have been doing my ground school for a while and am going to start flight training soon. Good to hear that there are other young people flying. Keep at it!

[@danruleman7038]

Zach & Hj, awesome, hard work pays. My father was the start of aviation in our family, today we have 5 commercial pilots. Hope to fly with ya some day.

[@colt.45rc76]

Zach Godkin that was me!

[@jarodmorris611]

LOL "Don't lose your camera because we will make fun of you for a long time. Don't be THAT guy" That's hilarious.

[@FliteTest]

Right?! Got eem! ;)

[@FPVREVIEWS]

I notice both props turn the same way, so the left engine would be the critical one. i wonder how much vibration is caused by the props being in the pressure differential of the wing.. anyway, looks like you had a great flight, and fun little airplane.

[@aviator]

Ahaha! One of my favorite fixed wing planes... SO glad you got this opportunity Alex! FUN video :D

[@bleachme8165]

I got a ride in the one that passes by at 2:44 on Saturday just before I left. still one of the high points of my week was meeting bixler. the other guys were out and I never found them.

[@bleachme8165]

+I can see my car in the "dog walking area"/no man's land

[@dneuens5919]

I was at Oshkosh on Thursday with my family. It was great to meet you Alex and Josh, my son was a little awestruck by the encounter lol. We went down to the ultralight field in the evening and that same Air-Cam was flying the pattern, what an incredible plane. -Dan

[@toptechtrend453]

DNeuens when I found the tent they were not there :(

[@FliteTest]

DNeuens awesome meeting you guys! Such an amazing event!

[@kennygee6627]

I’ve got a few hundred hours in AirCam‘s - awesome airplane! Safety factor of redundant power makes flying low and slow over trees and water, just fun, no fear - no guilt. It’s pretty easy to get a ride in one. The factory is at Seabring airport in Florida. Pretty much anyone that owns one around the world is a good option for a ride too. It’s experimental, so be ready to build. Builder assistance programs are available also.

[@air-headedaviator1805]

I wonder hiw the coversation with Alex and Dave went? "You want to fly in an overrated flying lawn chair through the busiest sky in the world?" Alex- "teah sure."

[@FliteTest]

Haha! ;)

[@SunShine-yd5xu]

Are all Air-Cams two seaters with two engines, or a single seater with one engine available too ?

[@kevinmasters7189]

The background music, Millie Vanilli! Nailed it!

[@AlexJoneses]

Flitetest is the new Casey neistat of vlogs

[@rcbif101]

How rude, you take that back.

[@sunspot6502]

Neistat is a total douchebag - don't even include him in the same sentence as FT!

[@fly72j]

Awesome vid. I got the privilege to fly in N912LA, one of the first AirCams, a couple years ago. Amazing aircraft.

[@FliteTest]

Indeed! Awesome looking craft as well as an amazing experience... from what I was told ;)

[@azgarogly]

Having nothing in front of you is a SG 38 Schulgleiter in original configuration. Flying one is a dream.

[@ulaB]

The Schulgleiter has nothing in the back too ;)

[@azgarogly]

Don't look back :)

[@owenknight2200]

Brilliant editing with the vlog guys lovely and smooth also like the general aviation best vlog in a while well done!

[@SuperRJohnston]

I got to take a short hop over Paso Robles airport in an AirCam a few years ago. Awesome little airplanes! I don't know why there isn't an RC version. They're made for cameras.

[@bsimmons00]

Am I the only one that saw the "Adult Weekly" wristband on the pilot's wrist at the beginning and thought of something probably completely different from that it's actually for?

[@mousedog440]

How do they manage to get the cg into the right spot with those 2 engines behind the wing?

[@jasonpage6952]

I've had the pleasure of flying in one of these on a couple different occasions. Absolutely amazing. Wonderful, comfortable ride.

[@UncleManuel]

This thing is just a giant model airplane! It's just awesome how quick you can get this flying garden chair up in the air... ^_^ It's amazing that Lockwood introduced the Aircam in 1995 and still produces the kit today! :-)

[@raymonroe1983]

Just beautiful.

[@AlfredHoudijk]

Thanks for sharing this experience with us Alex. It's been a while since I was in a small aircraft myself, I almost forgot how amazing it is!

[@FlyGumby]

Air cams are amazing. I did some low flying over the river in an air am this summer. It was awesome

[@FliteTest]

That sounds like a blast! ;)

[@ylekyoti4496]

Went to OSHKOSH on Friday, it was so great to meet Alex and Josh. What a real bunch of down to earth guys. Picture and great intriguing conversation was had for over an hour!!! Good luck at Red bull folks

[@gracklefpv8811]

Foam version?!?!?! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!!

[@tavi3938]

Andrews FPV why dont you make one yourslef

[@air-headedaviator1805]

Nothing says you couldn't try yourself too! Give it a go.

[@racko651]

The left rotax has a alternator???

Alex you are one lucky dog. Man that is a slick air machine.

[@ulaB]

I love how open it is. And it seems to have plenty of power for such a light frame.

[@sunspot6502]

I've only been up in a small plane once, and the noise put me off. I'd bet it's not as bad with the engines up and behind you like that - and of course the headphones help too I'm sure. Real nice vlog, Alex - thanks!

[@Timsfpvshow]

André Rousseau yeah that plane is pretty awesome. Alex has a cool job for sure

[@gracklefpv8811]

I want a air cam now!!

[@cloudsplitter24]

Love that airplane!

[@michaelupton1503]

Alex needs one of these. With launch rails for quads.

[@spazc]

The timing of this video was perfect, had an air cam fly over us on Lake Martin this past Friday and wasn't sure what it was. Keep up the great videos!

[@slicemaster2730]

What day was this

[@MoiraOBrien]

Fantastic aeroplane - thanks so much for sharing Alex x

[@codybell4110]

I can see my camper You guys rock I loved the Aircam i was at my camper watching this aircam go around an was like wish it was me

[@JarcodeRover]

Oshkosh, like Woodstock..everybody smiling and most of them got high.. :D Nice cover up Alex!

[@ulaB]

I see what you did there :)

[@JarcodeRover]

LOL Danke Thomas! :P We need an European Oshkosh don't you agree! Well i almost forgot Flite Fest eu, hope to meet you there man!

[@gryfandjane]

See if he'll let you take it to FlugTag. :-). Seriously, this was a great episode. I would SO have gone up in the AirCam.

[@wildblue2u]

I have been interested in the Air Cam for years, just not a possibility where I live (Hawaii). May consider after I retire, but as was mentioned below Josh Bixler should consider designing a foam board version for FT. Interesting thing about Air Cam is the single engine performance and it's near center-line thrust. There wouldn't be the issue with Vmc, but don't recall, given the weight of the Air Cam if it qualifies as a Sport Pilot and if multi-engine rating is needed.

[@rcbif101]

Multi engine cannot be LSA.

[@RedUtah]

"It's a flying kiyak" popped into my mind

[@AML45610]

6000+ hours and I think I would pee my pants flying that thing from the front seat. I want one.

[@xavierschario8337]

Went to Oshkosh a few years ago and got to ride in a l4 grasshopper

[@Phillips942]

Always wanted to go to Oshkosh! When my son gets a little older we will take a trip out there! Thanks for taking us for the ride!

[@mentuemhet]

Nice video. A mix of GE and radio controlled airplanes.

[@so-flamotorsports7491]

aircam is my dream plane , wanted a just highlander until i got a ride in one with floats

[@aslob9321]

Great video, cool content. Keep them coming, I miss the rapid output. Quit goofing off! LOL

[@evelasq1]

I thought it was another remote control airplane but it turns out to be the real thing. Peace, Flood!

[@angelreading5098]

Wow you have to build one of these Flitest ! we want to enjoy this amazing machine too in miniature and be able to fly these from our back yards,this aircraft has got everything going for it including the model version.

[@angelreading5098]

I am building one right now,check out my build sequence.

[@shanetillery254]

Incredible

[@danielhowsare778]

Jealous. That looked amazing

[@darthgremlinthelastx-wing6208]

about a couple of weeks ago I saw him ( possibly ) flying over my house. you don't forget that. damn cool.

[@S700KYFPV]

What a beautiful machine! You lucky lad.

[@JeffinLowerAlabama]

Air Cam Excellent adventure, Thank you, Jeff

[@hocadidilyocuttCAP]

I was one of the kids in camouflage and an orange vest in 2013 and 2015. Best way to experience air venture is by being a marshaller. It's just sooooo awesome. XD

[@matthewbrooder9414]

NBB is something i really wanna do. finally old enough so thats gonna be my NCSA of choice

[@Slurpy_Venom]

Just subscribed and turned notifications on!

[@charlieleonhart1314]

It looks just like a goose or something lol

[@ch4aser]

sick wit it!

[@rl2109]

Spectacular video! Alex: how did it feel to sit in a full-sized chase copter??? ;)

[@Hristovliverpool]

Watching it I can't stop smiling!!! Awesome!

[@colt.45rc76]

I saw you guys take off and land!!!! And the one in front of you!

[@wraysmith4753]

awesome video now that looks like a nice ride !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ErikUnger]

Please make a foam board version of this plane (with floats) :-)

[@NettAirLa]

Is there such a thing as "light-sport multi engine"? that thing is awesome!

[@rcbif101]

Nope, not in the USA. So other than this thing being crazy expensive, you also have to have a full private pilot license.

[@M0rdH0rst]

Since he is a AT pilot, he has it all: The money and all the ratings...

[@kennygee6627]

And multi-engine rating is also needed on top of the private pilot rating. It’s worth it 👍🏽😎

[@Slurpy_Venom]

Could you guys do a video about free style with drones Because you guys inspired me to start drones and air planes!

[@seaskimmer]

For some reason i can't explain that thing made me feel like there was nothing really around you at all. It seemed worse than a fan strapped to your back.

[@almib]

Stunning vid gentlemen

[@ronpence2092]

How do I get in contact with that guy to arrange a ride at Oshkosh next year? That looked like fun.

I don't get it, had sun glasses, but did not use them.

[@HOTSHOT-ls1bc]

I'll be interested to see a person flying in a( RC )foam plane just 5 feet above the ground

[@toptechtrend453]

I found your tent on Saturday, but you guys were not there :(

[@thenatedog]

That was really great awesome that you got to do that

[@FliteTest]

SUP NATE!! Dude, after watching i was a bit jealous! ;) -Stefan

[@thenatedog]

:)

[@g36pilot92]

Nice ride!

[@tjboomfpv5611]

That was a cool vid, thanks guys

[@beanhimself]

I'm not a full scale guy but that's awesome

[@RECK_Adventures]

I want to see a foamboard version

[@anthonyryder7097]

circuit dreamer that would be cool, but the frame would something, lots of skewers lol

[@RECK_Adventures]

Anthony Ryder I imagined that lol

[@fenrirthviti]

Fantastic.

[@Philberton]

This is great, thanks for sharing Alex!

[@FliteTest]

Thanks for watching Phil!

[@jaredswartz341]

This is my favorite vlog

[@MrSilverback62]

One of your best, Alex!

[@mikebee7371]

AWESOME

[@AlexJoneses]

What would you recommend for someone who doesn't have much (or any 🙃) money to spend on getting or making a racing drone?

[@AlexJoneses]

Senuht how much dO YOU HAVE

[@AlexJoneses]

Senuht not much. Less than 150$. But I do have a dx6i, receiver, few batteries, commonsense rc charger, and a boscam 600 mw fpv setup

[@johnlittle6415]

That Cathedral Guy you can definitely do it with that gear and budget. UAV Futures has a $100 quad video, that doesn't include the radio and goggles, but you've already got those.

[@FliteTest]

Tiny Whoop?! ;) They are fantastic!

[@Zubin19]

Wow that's an amazing experience it reminded me of my sky dive that I did in Sydney we were in a small plane. Jumped from the height of 14000 feet

[@stewjade]

How good was that ....... More.

[@feeb6216]

What licenses and certifications do people at flite test have?

[@oyvinator]

most of em are seen driving cars and quads, so i guess a drivers license.. for flying rc planes and multirotors, none because no lisence is required.. and for a paramotor, i cant be sure.. in norway you have to be pp3 i think.. 10+ hours logged flying.. dont think you can skip paragliding lessons when getting a paramotor either

[@InTransitStudio]

Feeb621 bixler would have a sport licence or private in the states. His piet would only require a sport tho.

[@gracklefpv8811]

I'm 13 and got to fly a Cessna 182 with a airplane camp That goes tward my pilots licenence and we did simulators then we flew in real life and my pilot let me take off and fly around and he helped me land

[@julianaframe4200]

BREWPLANES shut up we know u lyin

[@hobie1613]

What camp did you go to?

[@gracklefpv8811]

+Hj Aviation Dallas A.C.E academy

[@gracklefpv8811]

+BREWPLANES my uncle flys av-8b's

[@turtlesthatfly5695]

Andrews FPV I'm doing the same ace summer camp thing you are doing next week.... lol

[@davesell1]

Neat flight!!

[@brunoadriao1280]

Alex!! Sumol laranja! 👌🏻

[@eisenhead]

I just got my gremlin in the mail! I'm exited for the build

[@doranjaffas9645]

I need to be able to see the wings except in a helicopter:-)

[@redbearrc6706]

So nice!

[@mrmoseby7854]

Im just confused to why it has victory marks...

[@OGTylerP]
