FLYING TO WORK | Hilton Head in The Tri-Pacer | PART 1

[@jamesrutherford9597]

Love this coverage on a beautiful flight.

[@drobertsone]

This channel is awesome. I am an A&P and have purchased a PA-22-135 project. Looking forward to flying my "new" plane. My first plane was a Cessna 120, another project. Only way us working stiffs can afford planes.

Great video.

Try Blue Mountain Airpark, Trion GA. My parents just built a small house and a hanger after living in MI for 20 years. 2400 ft grass runway, 2 hours from ATL and 40 minutes to Chattanooga. We also own a Piper Tri-Pacer that was converted to a Pacer. 1958 N8714D

[@davidschmaus1]

Awesome Klaus. We will check out that area this spring. Would love a concerted pa22.

Hey David, just a shout out. I learned to fly in 1990 bought my first Tripacer a PA22-150 that year and flew that one and a second one for almost 30 years. I am 70 now so I grounded myself because of eyesight, just can't see good enough to fly any more. Just sold all of my airplanes this summer. I appreciate your videos very much, I can still smell my old girls like I am sitting in the left. Thanks Well done brother! Keep them coming.

[@davidschmaus1]

Richard. That is wonderful. Anytime you want to fly let me know and I’ll come and pick you up! Always up for an adventure! Merry Christmas!

[@saxman1969]

@@davidschmaus1 Merry Christmas to you to! I live in New Mexico so that is a trip for you. I go back east from time to time. I can't quite figure out exactly where your little strip is, but is is pretty much perfect for a TriPacer. I could show you some tricks with that will open new doors for you. At your altitude, you can get that bird off from 90 to 120 feet. Land at 45 MPH with about the same rollout. The Tripacer is a totally misunderstood and under used aircraft. I spent most of my time mountain flying here in NM. My dad had an airstrip on our family cattle ranch. Good times. Happy to see these airplanes still doing what they were designed to do and so much more!

Look into Mt.Dora FL Right next to X55, X23, and LEE. Lovr it here.duting the winter months.

[@davidschmaus1]

Wonderful. I sure will. Trying to fly down this weekend if I can get out of Ohio!

[@dklbbach]

Hi Dave, We should talk some time. I have a 1956 22-150. Love the videos!!!!!! It’s great to see you traveling with it. You can IM me. I also have another aircraft it’s a project. Not a TriPacer though. I love the TriPacer. I am in a couple type clubs and work in Aviation. Hope to hear from you. Mike

[@mikefogle5874]

Ah my old stomping grounds. I was stationed at Beaufort in the USMC and spent many of weekends at HHI. Great video as always Sir!

[@davidschmaus1]

Thanks Mike. We need to get out and do some flying soon!

[@martinbguk]

Great video as usual David. You get the same fuel consumption that i do at 2350rpm. Looking forward to getting my night rating in my 1954 Tri Pacer this winter.

[@davidschmaus1]

Thank you! Yeah. Flying at night is so relaxing. You will enjoy it!

[@nfill4131]

Well done David..

[@davidschmaus1]

Hey Norman. Thank you!

[@JMOUC265]

OUTSTANDING, David! Really enjoyed that flight. You'll find that the climate in South Carolina and Southern North Carolina to be quite hot and humid for much of the year. Muggy. But, as you mentioned, winter is much more temperate.

[@davidschmaus1]

Thank you! Yeah. I have to figure out if we are going to just be there like nov-March and leave it vacant in the summer or what. Appreciate it!

[@kevincollins8014]

I still think that it's pretty cool you are able to mix aviation with work. Almost makes it not seem so much like work 😁😆

[@davidschmaus1]

Kevin. Yes. Absolutely. I’m glad this little trip worked out. I’m still in the honeymoon stage so the journey is as fun as the destination still for me!

[@chrisolson4772]

N5355N is a 182 out of Maryland 😁

[@davidschmaus1]

:) they were climbing out at 142 knots and I was sitting level at 115. Wish I had a little more speed sometimes.

[@kevincollins8014]

@@davidschmaus1 it is a Q model if it makes any difference

[@kevincollins8014]

To me the extra few knots isn't worth 100,000😆

@@kevincollins8014 I’m with you. 3 times the cost. Crazy.

Oh man. It’s my favorite thing in the summer. It’s really surprising how much air comes out of that thing!

What are the avionics you have I've been looking to get a tri pacer and how r u ifr capable, and can u do ils approach. And the AP panel which one is it?

[@davidschmaus1]

I can do a RNAV approach, VOR approach but not a ILS. I don’t have an autopilot. Thanks!

[@047thRonin]

David are you color grading your videos now? This one has a nice cinematic look to it, good job!

[@davidschmaus1]

Thanks Carlos. I’ve been trying to do a little more coloring on them until I kind of find my niche. This one had a simple LUT and just kind of tweaked the overall color a bit.

[@047thRonin]

@@davidschmaus1 Looks great, I'm liking it better than the work of some long time aviation KZbinrs. Keep up the good work!

[@davidschmaus1]

[@drobertsone]

Not a very high time pilot, but not keeping your hand on the throttle during take-off/ landing is a bad habit.
