I'm not a pilot. I have no intentions of ever becoming a pilot or owning a plane. And yet... Here I am. This is fascinating and I can't get enough.

[@milomindabinda8115]

LOL, me too. Though strangely I am starting to have light aircraft appear in my night-time dreams... maybe this is peak Google manipulation.

[@harleygrit5358]

me too!

Oh give it some time you will start to like aviation

[@MrFuzzylang]

The other day, your channel popped up in my suggested. I can't stop watching these videos! I am now a subscriber and hoping you make a video on the Diamond DA 42-VI. That is my dream plane.

[@MrFuzzylang]

@@hardyad2102 the 62 is a stunning aircraft, but something about the 42 just makes me prefer it. I really like the 42's canopy. It also has a shorter wingspan. It should be much easier to find a hangar it can fit in. I don't see a need for more than 4 seats for what my mission would be. And finally I'm pretty short. The 42 appears to have a lower dash than the 62, making VFR easier for myself.

[@hardyad2102]

@@MrFuzzylang That's really interesting input. I'm in the market for a twin and the 42 falls under the minimum weight for Eurocontrol air navigation charges which is nice & 3 ft shorter. But, for the most part, these 2 aircraft would have identical operating costs.

[@talononeguy]

Got my multi, instrument, commercial in the 310R at an Air Force aero club back in the early 2000's. Loved that plane! N6104X. Cost $139/hr wet to rent at the time. Ahh, the good old days!

[@maxon1672]

Wow! These days you can hardly even find a C150 to fly for that price

[@talononeguy]

@@maxon1672 right?!

[@brettgoldsmith8584]

Would be interesting to see how much you could rent some of the more common aircraft in the videos per hour, i imagine it would be cheaper to a point

[@maxon1672]

@@talononeguy I was flying with an instructor for a while last year and after fuel the 172G we flew came out to like $180/hr wet. And that was for a dubiously maintained, steam gauge, peeling paint, oil consuming heap. In retrospect with almost no engine out options on either end of KRWY that was perhaps riskier than it should’ve been. But it flew and we were happy!

[@lukeurry8401]

the quality of content you produce is insane. thanks for doing these

[@GeneHaas0]

Excellent idea for a channel my man. I watch all your videos. I would love to see more videos like your first Ever video, the Cessna 172 video. I found your explanation for how the 172 has adapted over the years fascinating. Can’t wait to see more from you

[@shanewoz123]

I’m not sure how I stumbled onto this channel, but the youtube gods have surely blessed me. I don’t say this lightly, but this is the first time i’ve ever turned on post notifications. This is my new dream first plane, thanks for introducing her to me :) keep it up please

I figured since you did the Sonex I'd suggest an 0-320 Long EZ if that's possible. You're amazing, thanks for the vids.

[@BradiKal61]

My dad had a flight training and charter company back in 1980 and for a while had a Cessna 310 which was a beaut. there's a reason the Air Force used these planes. Unfortunately the 1980 recession made it impossible to keep the plane, or the business flying

[@groggysword33]

Very eye opening! I love the 310R, and hope to own one!

[@CompleteWalkaround]

Good luck, hope it happens for you

Dang. Expensive. Was hoping for a way to get near commercial ticket prices without the hassle of getting in a bunch of lines.

[@CompleteWalkaround]

Piston twins will cost more than the airlines 7 days a week sadly. Still glorious though

[@Ultrajamz]

@@CompleteWalkaround i’m not a pilot and just curious about all this, was looking at twins just for the safety of a fall back engine, I assume even a single engine will be much more expensive still?

[@CompleteWalkaround]

@@Ultrajamz some singles can be fairly affordable. Something quick that can carry 4 in people can be cost effective, sort of. If you compare to 4 airline tickets instead of one.

[@Ultrajamz]

@@CompleteWalkaround insteresting, but I imagine for a solo/duo flying ~1000 mile trips (Texas-Florida max) distances isn’t going to be worth it money/time wise.

[@queeny5613]

Awesome

[@jonathanrullman1278]

Does the cost per hour/year calculation include the initial purchase cost or just annual maintenance/operating expenses?

[@ohmiclaser2936]

Can you do a video on th yak-52 please

[@markoska3217]

Pls make your next video super decathlon

[@AymanRacing]

Could you do a modern piper seminole? These 6 seater twins are a little too costly for me to operate. I still prefer the redundancy of a twin and the peace-of-mind of a newer aircraft. The seminole seems like a piper arrow, but with 2 weaker engines instead of 1 stronger one. I'd prefer the redundancy of 2 engines over water. Not able to decide if the seminole is the right aircraft to buy since its primarily a trainer, and there isnt many videos on it having private owners. I have 2 main questions - Whats its operating cost? Hows its single engine preformance? (Can you successfully return to an airport with a failed engine over water?)

[@WillKinton]

Can you do a Twin Commander so I can know how much it takes to be Bob Hoover?

[@fellow7000]

Can you next time privide climb value in Si as m/sec?)

[@johnnyboythepilot4098]

Aero Commander 500 would be epic!

[@michaelhoffmann2891]

How about the Diamond DA-62? Their sales and marketing videos, right here on YT, claim it's the cheapest twin to own (but not to buy as they're mostly new or near new right now), plus performance gets into shouting distance of some turbo-props (at a third of the cost they say). Would be interesting if your data digging matches that.

[@CompleteWalkaround]

Interesting statements. I've definitely never heard da62 compared to a TP before

[@michaelhoffmann2891]

@@CompleteWalkaround Ah, you should go on Diamond's YT channel. Watch "history of the DA-62" or something like that. Not much history, mostly sales shpeel. Yes, they compare the 62 to some of the turboprop singles.
