First Flight in the New Airplane!

[@KutWrite]

Hi RUss. Fun flight in a great airplane. Hope you enjoy it in good health for a long time. That whine sounds like noise bleed from the alternator. It's a simple fix you can do or ask your local avionics shop. They might even have a filter you can plug in line with your audio cable.

[@RusscanFLY]

I think you are absolutely correct. I’ve heard that before and other aviation videos from other pilots. When they said they plugged the power cable in to their camera, they got the wine. So I have another power source that I can use, and I’m not getting the wine there. But I like your option of a filter. Take care!

[@WolfPilot]

@@RusscanFLY I think it is more likely a ground loop.. If you power your camera from a anker battery or something and it goes away, you have a ground loop.

[@RusscanFLY]

@@WolfPilot interesting! That sounds about right.

[@DaydreamAboutNiceThings]

Congrats on the new plane ! I’m living my flying dream through you. I know that if it’s Gods will I will fly someday. It makes my day when I hear you give God the glory !

[@RusscanFLY]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your note of congratulations. Charlie is truly a blessing, and I am just so thankful. Keep praying, planning, and believing, and this too, good Lord, willing, can be your reality and even that much more! Take care, and thank you again.

[@joelneuman2332]

Hey Russ, you've come a long way. Your hard work and dedication has paid off and I'm so thrilled for your success and you being able to own this gorgeous airplane.

[@RusscanFLY]

Thank you so much! It is definitely a dream come true for sure. Thank you so much for your support throughout this journey. It is greatly appreciated!

[@randyteeme6936]

Exciting and extremely deserved my brother. To God be the Glory. Have a ball.

[@RusscanFLY]

Thank you so much, brother Randy! I appreciate your support, well wishes, and prayers. Definitely feel the love from my room 11 brothers. Take care!

[@emellina1]

Yeah buddy!! And you’re off and running. Godspeed brother! Love it.

[@RusscanFLY]

Thank you so much! It is so exciting, and somewhat overwhelming as well.

[@411sponge72]

I've been binge watching all of your videos! Love them! Keep 'em coming my friend!

[@RusscanFLY]

Thank you so much, and thank you so much for the positive feedback! I’m glad you enjoy them, and I’m definitely gonna stay encouraged for sure. Thank you for your support, it really means a lot to me. Take care!

[@Cess08van]

Any panel with the GFC500 is a life simplifier, not merely a life changer! Enjoy it brother.

[@RusscanFLY]

Thank you so much! Yeah, that auto pilot is already spoiling me. I have this rule that my flights out have to be hand, flow, and as reward Flight back is auto pilot. Take care!

[@jdub7771]

That's a good rule?​@@RusscanFLY

[@1dullgeek]

1:18 Oof. That buzz is brutal. I had it in Maggie - my Cherokee 140. You might have to switch to using a separate audio recorder that can handle line level audio. That’s what fixed it for me. 3:00 Maggie didn’t have toe brakes. Before that I was training in an airplane with toe brakes. And it took me almost no time to get used to reaching for the hand brake. Actually, the 235 has toe brakes. And it took me a lot longer to get used to using them. For probably 50-60 hours of flying, even though I had the toe brakes, I just used the hand brake. I still sometimes do. 3:36 Get used to being called “Dakota” by ATC. The fixed gear Cherokees < 235 hp have a type code of P28A. But the 235s have a type code of P28B. And when ATC looks that up, they see “Dakota”. So get used to being called “Dakota 1541 Charlie”. 4:31 is that an ADSB in receiver on your glare shield? It looks like a stratus. But I also see what looks like a sentry on your pilot side window at 5:20. 6:10 Ooh baby listen to the purr of that 6 cylinder! Such a deep voice Charlie has. 7:40 Yeah man that GFC500 is soooo sweet! I love the one in our airplane. Wait until you start flying it on an approach. A friend of mine describes it as “cheating”. Makes instrument flying a ton easier and as a consequence safer. I will no longer fly single pilot IFR without a working autopilot. If I have an IFR flight and the AP doesn’t pass my pretakeoff check, I’m cancelling. It’s that important. 8:36 YES HE IS!! 9:58 Oh wow! You have autotrim! First off, that’s really nice. But a word of caution: be careful with it. There are a few additional ways that autotrim can cause failures. Recommendation: read up on crashes related to autopilot trim. There are too many. We don’t have autotrim. Instead what we have is an indicator in the G5 that says “trim up” or “trim down” when the AP senses tension on the elevator that it wants relieved. 10:58 oh, you also have a single piece front windshield. That’s nice.

[@RusscanFLY]

I love all the observations you made in that video. I gotta have you do my commentary with those phenomenal powers of observation! At any rate, yeah, you see my century on the window, and his ADS EB in on the dash. We were both checking for traffic, and since he technically has the Cfii/MEI, he was helping me make sure that we stayed on top of the traffic situation. Yeah, the flights have taken since this video, have been majority hand flights, using the trim lever. I want to get used to it, just in case something happens with the electric trim. also, my flights are fly out, and then as a reward auto pilot back home. So I try to get the best of both worlds. Anyway, Airplane is an absolute beast. Dust is still settling, and I’m still getting used to so many aspects and Airplane ownership. Take care and fly well!

[@martygenska8117]

Never did get a chance to comment on this when I first saw it, but wow; what an experience!

[@RusscanFLY]

Marty, it really was! I don’t know if you have your first sake off posted anywhere on KZbin, but I will say that first takeoff was exhilarating and terrifying at the time! Take care, brother! I’ll be coming down your way at some point!

[@martygenska8117]

@@RusscanFLY I do have two short clips Peg took for me; I'll send you an EMail :)

[@glennwatson]

No toe brakes, that's different. Glad to see you out there enjoying your new aircraft.

[@RusscanFLY]

Absolutely. Apparently, that’s not unusual. Somebody did say I can get them, but why go through the extra expense.

[@jimmydulin928]

Very nice. I liked the lack of toe brakes in the Cherokee. It taught students to taxi at slow speed and not to rely on brakes in any stage of flight. Like all short winged pipers, slowing enough to get a good sink and bringing dynamic throttle into play as the most excellent glide angle and rate of descent control allows a high percentage of prop blast on the short wing and lets us land slowly and softly as Wolfgang spoke of. Thus no need for brakes here either. Have fun and enjoy/learn the technology so that you are still in control.

[@RusscanFLY]

You know, I didn’t even think about it the way you described in this amazing comment. For the life of me, I was trying to figure out why not have toll breaks, because every other planet that I’ve flown has had. But it definitely makes sense the way you presents The fact. Thank you so much for taking the time to send us amazing comment, and for all of the amazing support. Take care!

[@fsodn]

You make interesting comments, Jimmy. I have occasionally also flown a Grumman Cheetah, which has a castering nosewheel and thus you MUST use toe brakes to steer while taxiing.

[@JS-wz3km]

That airplane looks like a great find. I used to rent a PA-28-140, really fun to fly. The shoulder restraint modification will save your life someday. Enjoy the plane!

[@RusscanFLY]

It was definitely a great find for sure. It is absolutely amazing, and the past owner really loved on it for the 24 years that he had it. Definitely an amazing aircraft for sure take care, and thank you so much for the support!

[@allofJACK]

Congratulations brother🎉! I know the feeling. Felt the same way when I got my first plane.

[@RusscanFLY]

Thank you so much! If you don’t mind, my asking, what was the first Airplane you purchased?

[@ProPilotPete]

Congrats on the new plane! Cherokees are a great plane, easier than the Cessnas when it comes to crosswinds! You’ll love it. If/when you’re ready to get rid of it they sell quickly. Enjoy!

[@RusscanFLY]

Yeah, I definitely love it for sure. The thing that I also loved the first time I flew in archer, is when I turn from base to final, and I can actually see the runways! I was hooked after that! Thanks a lot for the support, I really appreciate the positive feedback.

[@pixamite1]

Again, I’m so happy for you! I communicated with you when you did your airplane purchase video. Yes I noticed the trim handle moving on it’s on before you showed that. I was thinking that’s got to be the auto pilot/it better be the auto pilot Lol. I’m in north GA only 30 miles from Chattanooga TN. My local airport is Dalton. Ironically my work takes me up to Danville KY. If you are ever going to be in my neck of the woods, as the old timers used to say down here. Let me know. Blessings and continued safe flying 🙏🏽👍🏽

[@RusscanFLY]

Thank you so much for your continued support. It is definitely greatly appreciated. I definitely will let you know if I’m back out that way for sure. I was just sorry that we didn’t have enough time to investigate that barbecue fest that was out there. Anyway, be well!

[@nathanwildthorn6919]

Love that trim crank! 😊

[@RusscanFLY]

It looks spooky when I first saw moving by itself! Too many spooky movies back in the day!

[@Hawker900XP]

Sweet! When I started as a flight instructor in the early 70s, we had a lot of PA28’s. Always like the overhead trim.

[@RusscanFLY]

That’s awesome! I have to admit that I have to get used to that overhead trim. So used to the trim wheel. I don’t want to get too comfortable with using the electric trim until I understand how to swing that on!

[@roderickrobinson1866]

Congratulations brother 👏 🙌 🙏

[@RusscanFLY]

Thank you so much! I appreciate the love family!

[@JabariHunt]

[@NathanBallardSaferFlying]

That autopilot is going to change your life! Best tool ever to have at your disposal! Congrats Russ!

[@RusscanFLY]

Thank you so much! I try not to get too spoiled too fast, but it makes flying so easy! All of my flight since then, I challenged myself to hand flat out, and then as a treat and a reward, I use the auto pilot back home. it is amazing what this airplane can do. Thank you so much, brother, I really appreciate your support.

Awesome Russ! What's the year, make and model of Charlie? You mentioned it's a Piper Archer. I thought it was a Cherokee 180 when I saw the baggage door opened. But a Cherokee 180 is not a high performance airplane and you said this airplane is high performance. So, what is it? 😊

[@RusscanFLY]

It’s a piper Cherokee 235. The other way is described as a PA 28 bravo model. It’s high-performance because it has a 250 hp engine 180 hp engine typical chair. So, Charlie is high-performance!
