Airplane Action! Mud, Snow ,Big Rocks, Water and Tight landings

I find him very easy to understand and have learned a lot.

[@cougarlove8542]

You are an excellent pilot. Saw you fly by near my house in Costa Rica about 9 months ago.

[@Coops777]

Im glad you put the Mooney takeoff in!! Was worth the wait. Great video thankyou!

[@66lwmorgan]

After all these years of watching you're video's I'm still amazed at the grassy, muddy, rocky sand bar landings you guys successfully make.

[@mark_barrentine]

Learned a new technique from watching, flaps up on power up, as you approach Vr speed lower flaps to takeoff position. This will allow the plane to accelerate faster for takeoff. The Mooney one upped this by retracting landing gear as soon as the wheels were off the ground. That was one of the fastest retractions I have seen for a takeoff.

[@avbriefs838]

Absolutely amazing!

[@TheSportFlyer-xy6sn]

You showed that Mooney landing once before, and I still can't believe it. Now I wonder how he got out of there- that is a short strip for a non-stol plane to take off from. Masterclass in energy management in a slick airframe. EDIT oh crap I posted before wathing the end of the video 9:35. That's how he took off!

he is piperpainter on youtube, guy flys that mooney into some tights spots.

[@VictoryAviation]

Good lord! He wasn’t messing around on that last departure 🤣

[@zombieapocalipse2020]

Another great video ❤

[@avbriefs838]

Absolutely amazing flying 😀

Compass. Mine kept falling of the tape mounting like yours ! Great video .

[@YamahaC7SRG]

Great video, as always! Could you explain your thinking for starting with 10 degrees of flaps and then adding 10 more at 40 MPH (or knots)?

[@motoadveBackcountry182]

Just did it on Memaloose because high density altitude and mud, I knew it was going to be a long take off run, so did not want to add the drag of 20 degrees of flaps from the start, so started with 10 and when almost ready to fly added 10 more

9:45 Those wheels are impossible fast to retract

[@theresacaron4238]

Johnson bar activation, fully manual and quick just like a BD-5, there's nothing quicker than manual retraction.

[@theresacaron4238]

Did you know that the 185 you flew with the reversible prop is for sale on wheels by Mark of Skywagon University. It would make a hell of a replacement for your 182 being STOL equipped with that prop for short stops. Just a thought.

[@marksinclair701]

How would you know if you had overloaded the nosewheel following a soft field landing and hitting some deep mud or something. Will it collapse first or pitch you over forward?

[@motoadveBackcountry182]

You feel it pitching you forward

[@marksinclair701]

@@motoadveBackcountry182 I'm just curious if you do anything special to monitor the condition of the landing gear, especially the nose wheel of the 182. Easy to imagine all those vibrations catching up one day. Has it been modified at all?

It would be nice if we could understand you…. Please try “articulating” your words.
