I'm Flying again!! Teaching a friend how to Land his NEW Bush Plane.

[@rvingjetpilot5302]

Jonas you really should get your CFI. You're really patient, and you have great teaching skills.

[@matrixclese]

Evidently you are new to this channel. lol

[@JonasMarcinko]

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback!

[@friedclutch97]

@@JonasMarcinko The incredible thing about seeing Jason flying was that he literally had to fly the air plane by feel. Every now and then you would show him the "ball". He started flying by feel and looking outside the airplane. I WISH I had this experience when I started my training.

[@flytelaw1]

Since 1984, I have sent a few hundred students up for their first solo....that feeling of seeing a students grin after that first solo never dies....keep up the good work Jonas and get an Instructor rating:-) Cheers!

[@MadDawg91108]

For being the sketchiest pilot on KZbin, you sure do a nice job of instructing. Good job Jason!! Great to see you back in the air Jonas.

[@JonasMarcinko]

haha appreciate that!

Great job Jonas ! Your helping a friend achieve his dream of flying ! Get your CFI and I’ll send some friends your way to get there tail wheel endorsement !

[@joshgarrison479]

Good to see you in the air again!

[@shady0079]

learning how to fly in a dragger much respect. I had over 500 hr when I first flew a 140 with small wheels. had that been my first experience im not sure I would be flying now.

[@deltafour1212]

The more I watch your video's, the more I am convinced to get a Experimental STOL Bush Plane. Basic and simple. Enough to get you from point A to B. Love the doors. All clear from top to bottom. It gives you a huge field of view and gives you an open cockpit feel

[@jasonpreston1611]

Thanks Jonas for everything you have taught me and tell Silvija thanks for letting me Steal you away from her for flying.

[@artd.]

Great Video Mr Jonas, Maybe some slow flight at altitude for him to get use to slow speed handling, just a thought......🙂

[@JonasMarcinko]

good idea!

[@the-not-bigkuhrbowsky4869]

Yep I wish the instructors I had would have mentioned that was the point. Maybe they did. Slept a lot tween now and then

[@TheGizMan1]

Heck yeah fly the Avid! Fly all of the planes! It’s a great time! Glad you’re back in the air!

[@dba750]

Love hearing the crunch of snow, it's a long hot summer here in NZ, I prefer winter, it's so nice seeing crisp wintery landscapes on a stinking hot day

[@Lithonion1]

As my father use to say, "Take offs are optional, landings aren't. Great to see you in the air again.

[@Bubble_0f_d00m]

Jason, smooth landings and a perfectly timed flare are some of the hardest things for new pilots to get down, and things are harder when you know you'll be watched and criticized. You did good, and every time you fail you're learning to do better. You stayed positive and calm, that's how I know you'll be a good pilot. I hope we get to see you fly more. Good luck on that pilots license.

[@Smokey2-2016_USMC]

Good to see you back in the air Jonas. I know the feeling. Time to get your CFI.

Way to give back by help a person build some confidence. Love it.

[@chuckpf7018]

Perfect way to start a new year. Great being back in the air. And like you said. Do it!!! Thanks for sharing the ride Jonas!

[@ryang656]

I was a passenger on a flight like one of these in a 182…. The “instructor” was screaming about everything and I was panicking in the back thinking the worst. The “instructor” says the the copilot, “that was a nice landing, just need to refine it a little”. I thought we were all going to die and but I guess it was a nice landing lol. I appreciate your comforting, smooth voice.

[@sawdust466]

Flew 350 hrs in sonex Waiex, many hrs in tail wheel ultralights… 13 months w/o flying. Then bought Kolb Flightstar 2. First trip to strip, 3 of 6 crappy landings…. What had I forgot? Second trip, first 3 were crap. Then I remembered what a really high time pilot told me long ago. “Look way down the runway, not in front of you. Next 4 we’re greasers…. Always learning. Love your videos…

[@itswhatido1404]

I did a lot of my tailwheel endorsement in a Kitfox 4 like this with a friend that I couldn’t log any time with, but then my transition to an instructor was smooth! Love taildraggers!

[@jimseals8659]

Yes on flying the Avid.

[@its9429]

Great to see the flying again.

[@Savagetech96]

As always, Awesome video! It's nice to see some air time. Stay safe!

[@JW-gb6hq]

Explain the wind during taxi and have him look at the flight controls to understand the why. It's tough to learn from the back seat without reference to instruments. Especially when just starting out he doesn't have a real what it looks like when everything is correct and how that feels in the seat when the picture is correct. When he's getting it right have him remember something about that moment and eventually all those moments gel together for a better understanding and repeatable skill. Anyway be careful a competent CFI is a cheap investment. I have taught many and learned a bunch from lots of folks as well. Coordinated flight always....stay far away from stall/spin scenarios. "Stick &Rudder" a great book that's still relevant even in the modern airplane. CFI

[@wallyfirkins1664]

Very cool Jonas. You are a natural.

[@robertstonejr1000]

Great seeing you in the air again, Jonas. All's right with the world! Say hi to Silvija :)

[@danaskubic2145]

Same here, thanks for sharing.

[@cateyesaerial7703]

The Rans S7 is a great plane. It looks like a mix between a cub and a Kitfox/Avid.

[@flyaerovoltz]

Jason, welcome to the family!! like anything else in life that is worthwhile, it just takes time and effort! Great job Jonas helping him achieve his dream of flight! Friends that will take the time to help folks get started in aviation is what will keep our beloved sport alive! fly safe and keep at it.

[@WilliamMathers-tn7ge]

In my small opinion, the best airplanes to learn to fly in are conventional gear airplanes (taildraggers). Much better way to teach stick & rudder, and also a great reminder that the airplanes not done flying until your stopped and the engines shut down. I learned in a J3 cub, then on to a Cessna 180. Love them both. Jason’s doing good in that wind, mean Jonas, lol.

[@natal777]

Landing is much harder to learn than you might think . It took me 10 hours of landing lessons to even feel somewhat comfortable with them at all . Jason you have a great teacher and your doing real good!

[@richardcollins3825]

Man I really missed watching your flying videos. Great to see you in the air again. Still looking forward to Defiance!!

[@whatsupeh1]

Ah…. Ya… want to see you fly that Avid. Not sure if I’ve spelled it right. I’m not a powered, fixed wing pilot. I flew hang gliders up to four years ago. Decided to give it up. I wasn’t doing it enough. Still have an interest in aviation though.

[@earlaker]

I love it! Good to see you in the air again, Jonas. Now get your CFI! BTW, nice plane, Jason! Its easy to see you'll be on your own in no time.

[@OneAV8]

Yes! A flying VLOG! Good job Jason!

[@jameski5oeb668]

Of course you should go fly with that guy in the Avid. Oh by the way, Kitfox had financial issues as well, business in the experimental world. LSA saved them in my opinion.

[@tompinnef6331]

Good job Jason - Jonas has that teaching vib in this video. Thank you for the video. Take care - be safe.

[@Mrsournotes]

Yes Jonas, would like to see you fly the Avid Flyer. I visited both Avid and Kitfox at Caldwell and Nampa back in ‘91 looking to buy a kit. Excellent video by the way.

[@stephenreese5921]

When I was learning to fly, I had a problem with my landings and couldn’t understand why I occasionally porpoised down the runway. I just needed to learn that I shouldn’t give back (push slightly forward) the yoke. It’s a matter of mind over matter and feel of the planes speed at touchdown. Jason will get it. He’s doing great! Welcome to the flock, Jason!

[@_spartan11796]

Happy New Year to you both!

[@1cirrus_pilot]

You should get your CFI. Sounds like you would be a good one.

[@romainlena8082]

A good teacher and a good student 😁👏👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@roberthegedus5022]

I own a Rans S-7S, same paint scheme as Jason's, just no bush gear :( Anyways, I've flown it a few times from the back seat, and it's WAY more difficult due to visibility. That being said, if he can nail it from the back, he should have no problems from the front seat.

[@timothymix7758]

You control speed with pitch and altitude with throttle! You use the rudder to stay coordinated! Step on the ball! You need to slow that thing down on short final and let it settle down, maintaining directional control with the rudder. It should feel like your first dance on prom night! (Shuffling your feet) if you don't keep up on rudder input and speed control your either going to ground loop it or stall/spin in on final.

[@RandyKildow]

YES, JONAS backwards is the best way!!😄😄😄

[@Haines_riders_907]

Good to see ya back in the air

[@InducedBank]

Nice job! What finally made sense to me regarding the flare was that it was just to slow down the rate of descent, rather than a 'flare' - somehow that translated better into my head and reduced the incidences of flaring way too much. If the flare is done right, everything after that happens that little bit slower and therefore easier.

[@ramit439]

Excellent video.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

This was great, Jonas! Nice job creating another pilot! I don't think I really understood what "coordinated" meant until now. I was learning right along with Jason. Nice work Jason, BTW!! You guys are lucky to live in such an open, beautiful place! What a great place to fly! I always wanted a slow-flying, fat-tire'ed fixed-wing, but it's impractical for me where I live (Unless I hit the lottery tomorrow, lol). For now the paramotor scratches the itch. Some day I'd love to get a Mosquito or Rotorway heli. Perfect for the tight spaces and lack of runway length around here. You sold me on that S7 though! Looks like a blast!

[@JonasMarcinko]

Thanks Smitty! I would love to build a Mosquito someday!

[@SmittySmithsonite]

@@JonasMarcinko Indeed! Would be so much fun! I'd finally be able to fly to my dad's house to visit every Sunday, instead of getting up at 4AM to drive there. I'd be in heaven, lol. :)

Jonas I am not a pilot I love your channel and your creativity, I was down in Texas visiting my brother-in-law and he's got a plane with his son and they were saying something about the avionics and I said oh you got to check out Jonas marcinko they this thing that goes under the wing and an app that interfaces with it and it can give you a glass cockpit. And I couldn't think of the name of the thing but you guys tried it and kind of liked it and you guys know flying. What was the darn name of that thing?

[@JonasMarcinko]

The BOM! By levil aviation. I think I have a link on the first goodbye Kitfox video.

The best way to learn is crappy weather windy conditions that’s how I learned and now I can pretty much handle it all

[@fulltacticaltv]

Just found your channel love it! I am working on ground school right now. I am building an ultralight to learn in. I have my own property so having a ultralight that can take off and land on a short runway is important if I want to fly from my house.

[@ginacalabrese3869]

It was good seeing you call out your "friend" for purposefully crashing a plane. He is Sooooo lucky he didn't start a wildfire. I feel like he's going to be seeing not only problems with the FAA pulling his license but possible charges and fines from the FBI down to the EPA on the Federal side but also charges from similar state of California agencies. He made any of the mildly "sketchy" things you've done in planes look like nothing. You never put anyone else in danger like he did.

[@robtebay1]

I was the same - fine on take-off and the circuit until final approach. Went to pieces every time! After 5.5hrs circuits over three sessions, and another landing she had to rescue, she told me to stop, and she got out. "Where're you going?" I asked. "For a cup of tea. Go and land the plane yourself". It worked. I had the choice of land or crash!
