“GA and bush planes are my jam.” Best quote ever.

[@darshodaddelt]

take me hooooome, country plane.....take me hoooome....

[@hazyperspective]

This is my home county, I had a lot of fun watching. Thanks for the flight.

[@heavysighs]

That’s some gorgeous bush flying area there in West Virginia! Great video as usual! Looks like fun!

[@domcamillo1633]

You are the best.

[@AvAngel]

Thank you :)

[@dillank3240]

You nailed those landings. That was very fun!

[@johnbow72]

Lovely video AvA , the old tune of John Denver comes to mind .

[@MrVerno1960]

Nice video and thanks for the link to the Cheat River area. So much fun flying in and out of that region of WVA. The Dawson Facility is used by U.S. Army as a rugged mountain and river training center. I would have included a recent article written by local newspaper on the facility, however KZbin would not allow the link to be posted.

[@Paul9601EX]

Love your videos and your Humor . Go on

[@KatherineCracks]

Lovely flying as always Rachael and two really nice landings. That little strip looks like just my kind of place, then when I’m done with my fun pop over to the big strip for dinner! As to what you were saying about the stall horn. I took my friend who is a piper instructor out for a trip in the islands of Scotland and scared the living daylights out of him with the amount of stall horns going off on landings and short take offs and my relaxing statements like well I’m going down here so a stall isn’t a problem. Wasn’t very reassuring apparently, I thought I was being reassuring! To this day he swears he still has ptsd! But admits he learned a lot about what aircraft are actually capable of but he still rudely called my cub (kit plane, I honestly forget which of the 678954 cub kits out there it was) I owned at the time a green house with wings, The cheek! Great video, love you Rachael

[@pto200]

Good on .Enjoyed the beautiful countryside. Would like to see more of flying around here.

[@LWJCarroll]

Thanks enjoyed being along for the ride and how you did the landings…. Laurie NZ.

[@AvAngel]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@GurtTarctor]

Love your videos. Glad to see you're finally getting headtracking, it makes a huge difference to immersion and VFR flying, and has some advantages over VR actually. A plane that I really recommend you check out is the Caproni Vizzola C-22J Ventura which has just been updated, and is £6.93 on Simmarket right now, which is an absolute steal considering the quality of it. I've just started a journey across the US from Miami to Seattle with it. Beautiful plane.

[@AviatingWithMel]

"The stall horn is more of a suggestion" I think there would be a lot of people that have only ever flown flying club rentals that would be freaked out to know there are plenty of aircraft that don't have stall horns. I did my TW conversion in a 1948 Cessna 120, it didn't have a stall horn and the Jodel 112 that I have just bought a share in also doesn't have a stall horn. You have to fly the aircraft by feel! I think on modern aircraft AoA indicators are far more valuable than stall horns as they tell you so much more. Nice flight, that scenery is lovely, the Husky is a fine aircraft too.

[@AvAngel]

Oh man yes my Instructor would have lost his crap if I said that back then! Now I just see it as a 'be careful' warning, once you fly an aircraft by feeling, and understand the effects of AoA, it's a different experience. Jodel 112? Jealous! Those are gorgoeus birds!

[@AviatingWithMel]

@@AvAngel Oh absolutely, though the stall warner in the T67M (unless you were doing aerobatics) was something to pay attention to as it had a nasty habit of dropping a wing and once in an established spin would drop 3000ft in four revolutions! The weather has been somewhat annoying recently I had had the share in the '112 for nearly a month and have only had a basic "do you like it or not" test flight with one of the syndicate members

[@samcollins8291]

Oh dueling banjos, obviously of a certain vintage of a better vanished time. Wow nice scenery. Would you have imagined such a game 10 years ago.

[@AvAngel]

Honestly I couldn't...

[@shivendrasingh2355]

Both your landings were absolutely gold today 👌. As ever, just love your jaunts into the backcountry...also, there are some lovely mods available for strips in Nepal, would love for you to maybe do some more trips there as it’s really enjoyable! 😀. Flew with the PC-6 from Pokhara to Jomsom today, both beautified...

[@mikecoffee100]

Another Fantastic Flight Thank You

[@tomhughes9639]

Luv the scenery

[@jamieoconnell127]

Great flight. Thanks for showcasing this fun scenery -- I will check it out. I just got back in action after SU6 forced me to re-download the entire sim for the 3rd time (all 89 gigs)!

[@AvAngel]

I had no issues with 6, make sure its not broken addons not the sim.

[@jamieoconnell127]

@@AvAngel I moved the entire community folder before upgrade. It still made me get the whole premium product again -- really annoying. I'm on the MS Store version, not Steam. On the main forums it looks like I wasn't the only victim either.

[@chanman4rings]

That's why I haven't bought anything from Carenado yet for this sim. I'm not buying any ports, only ground up builds

[@marshie1337]

i love this game. being able to explore all these backwoods strips without risking crashing and burning is why i sim. check out indian creek, just north of lower loon. pretty dope approach, so much fun in a caravan!

[@AvAngel]

Had a video on that a couple of weeks ago! Was fun!

[@randyjones9726]

Thanks for this video. I bought this plane on your recommendation and have really been enjoying it. My biggest issue with it has been not being able to see the screens. I've looked and looked for knobs to brighten them. You've revealed the mystery for me in this video. Thanks again.

[@AvAngel]

You're welcome! It changed with SU6, but it's more than fixable with the right button :D

[@belgeode]

Ooooh you are KIND OF in my neck of the woods now. I am in Southwestern PA. This area and West Virginia look pretty much identical. Definitely been over that area! There are so many little airports like that around the region. Oh rumor has it that *some* of the planes coming with Reno may have been made by A2A, and Orbx. At least that is what I am hearing lately. Lovely flight! Thank you much!!!

[@AvAngel]

Yeah most likely the A2A Mustang, but with stripped systems I expect... they already have a racing one.

[@belgeode]

@@AvAngel That is my suspicion as well, or perhaps the T-6 Texan. Either way, I am genuinely excited to fly those... and I have zero intention of racing anyone Haha!! I just need them in my hangar.

[@ThirtyOddOne]

I'm surprised you didn't hear the banjos in Darrington/1S2! You will love head tracking, it can take some tuning to get the right feel but makes flying visually much more natural.

[@Level10Productions]

Another gorgeous spot as always! Think I can put my CJ4 down in there? ((😄)) maybe in but not out... Im curious about this headtracker too.

[@AvAngel]

Think it might be a slightly tight fit.

[@Level10Productions]

@@AvAngel That's what my gf tells me but I'm very careful to ease it in gently.. getting it back out again is the tricky part. Oh, that didn't come out right, but u know what I mean 🙄

[@McArid]

That facility seems to be the school of military police...

[@AvAngel]

Cool! Good to know! Explains the lack of hangars lol

[@MojaveHigh]

The Bonanza G36 has a great freeware performance mod. There's also a very mature Turbo mod, also freeware.

[@AvAngel]

Problem is stinky glass boo

[@ceegnz]

Love these back country videos, they really do make me get out there and explore the back blocks of hometown New Zealand, and I never fail to be impressed with how you can make taildraggers stop without planting the nose :) I thought I had loads of these little planes in the sim but when I looked properly I just have 3 X-Cubs, the Savage Cub and the Savage Grravel - so maybe not. How different to the various Cubs is the Husky ?

[@AvAngel]

Lower and further rear CG, so you can lean on the brakes a little harder, and the wing is a bit different, I prefer its handling, bit less twitchy to me. It just depends honestly, but the CG is the big difference. Also thanks! And New Zealand is on my list for soon!

[@ceegnz]

@@AvAngel Sweet thanks ! I did buy it after I posted that, I had some cash in the Steam wallet and so many people have said that they weren't sure about this but turned out to love it that I took a punt on it and yes I loved it :) Elevator trim was fine, speed was in the same territory as the PC-6 / BN2, rudder trim would have been nice but I don't think the real plane has it so yeah ... My first landing wasn't spectacular, I came in way too fast and didn't have the balls to use the brakes, ground loops for the win :) Definitely glad I bought it, it's different enough to be worth it.

[@dionjennings2379]

Hi Hi! Good day. I just got through enjoying your last video (this one). I have a few questions. How do you get your plane to literally turn on a dime? My taxiing is atrocious, very often sharp turns get locked in place and I veer completely off course. I should mention that (for the moment, as I am new to MSFS) I use keyboard and mouse (gasp!!!). Is this problem of taxiing and turning one of many things remedied by a flight stick setup? Also, while you were on the ground (arrival location) you were able to view the area, a really lovely walkthrough. How is this achieved? I would love to be able to explore these locations once on the ground! Can you help?

[@docandersonshow]

I love how the Russian accent comes out the closer you are to stallin’. 🙄

[@AvAngel]

haha yes!

[@SabotAndHeat75]

Badoom Kish 🥁

[@WadeFrick]

Today is my Birthday and of course I'm watching AvAngel...lol.

[@AvAngel]

Happy birthday!

[@stevechalmers3607]

These beautiful backcountry videos are certainly your forte. The P-38, the Junkers, the Electra; not so much. The back country in a bush plane is were you excel, and where the beautiful scenery is. The world, as we all know, is a big place, and you are the perfect person to take us to the endless beautiful places around that world.

[@AvAngel]

Well the p38, junkers and Electra are reviews, not really the same thing. I review planes so people can make a more informed decision for themselves, these are for enjoyment

[@Mikinct]

If you had a lot of extra pocket money which GA Plane would you actually buy if given the chance? Cessna, Piper, Bonanza, Mooney, Cub, Cirrus or an custom build experimental plane?

[@AvAngel]

Cessna 206… without a doubt, with cargo pod and tundra tires

[@Mikinct]

@@AvAngel you’re my kind of pilot no doubt!

[@carstenbrohl1316]

nice video again! But I have one question, what can you use to look around to the left and right in the cockpit? Keyboard, joystick or mouse? The movement is so fluid and I can't understand that with myself. I've tried hatswitch and buttons before, but both are too slow and unwieldy.

[@AvAngel]

I have a hatswitch on my yoke that I use for it, I'm honestly just so used to it for nearly 10 years of simming that way...

[@MojaveHigh]

I was only able to find one reference to the Maule M7 (and M9) from about three months, with the developer saying he's working on them. Do you have any other info?

[@AvAngel]

Photos, month or two old, but not that unusual, freeware projects tend to work to slower

[@MojaveHigh]

@@AvAngel I've never heard of it. I hope someone makes it because it's beautiful!

[@prairievw]

what are your pc specs? everything seems to run really smooth

[@AvAngel]

Ryzen 2700x, Asus x470 pro mobo, RTX 2070 super gpu (8gb) 32gb of ram. :)
