My New Kitplane Is Insane!

This was one of the wildest trips of my life.
I have no words for how tired I was, how excited I was and how stressed I was all at the same time. There are few things in life that have made me feel this alive and really look forward to your comments on this one. Flying a kit plane Across South Africa is no small feat.
Thanks for being patient. its here.

What a great vid. Congrats Jared.

[@TheRipster777]

They BOTH need to hurry up and put a ring on it.

[@jaredwatney]

😅😅 thanks guys. Tough crowd hey Tristan

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

@@jaredwatney keep pushing and keep uploading. You’re not uploading enough content for KZbin to push you. I’m currently on 3 vids a week.

[@TheRipster777]

@@jaredwatney Two weeks later and Giv has a ring. Your move Jared...😆

[@TheOUboy]

Great video and a nice little Kit. Did you have Tom fly because it was a new kit, and such a long flight that he he had done before? Cool to see the end where you and your better half saw each other. Is she doing art full time now, or is she still yachting during season. Thanks for sharing the video with us and really happy for you brother. Can't wait to see what new adventures the kit adds to the channel along with yachting.

[@jaredwatney]

Tom flew as he is definitely the more experienced and competent pilot especially in this type of plane (taildragger). It was a new plane with low hours and in a circumstance of emergency he’d be able to make a more experienced decision. With all that above, it just made more sense for Tom to be the pilot in command. - Thanks for asking and watching.

[@FlightFrames]

Another great video Jared! Can’t wait to see more adventures in the plane.

[@jaredwatney]

Thanks so much for watching. Excited to learn each flight!

[@ThomasMarrow]

Very very cool man! Sooooo good to finally have another aviation creator nearby!

[@jaredwatney]

So many good times ahead! Thanks for everything!

[@kfaaircraftandadventures]

Very well done. Enjoy her and fly safe. Will see you soon down there in Knysna.

[@jaredwatney]

Thank you KFA. It looks so good down here

[@nolariggs6959]

Thanks for sharing. You are living what for many of us is an unreachable dream. Fly on/ sail on.

[@jaredwatney]

Thanks Nola. It’s FAR more reachable than you’d think!

[@brucewatney4416]

Thats was well overdue, and really enjoyable. Look forward to seeing more of your stuff. More adventure, aviation & marine.

[@jaredwatney]

Thanks Dad. Many adventures to come

[@iamhuman_]

The plane is finally there and it is looking awesome, does it have a name? Can't wait for all the new kind of content to come, very stoked for that. Of course as always, really enjoyed the video. I felt like I could see your excitement in the edit.

[@jaredwatney]

No name yet. Will work on that!

[@warwickmostert7347]

Well done. Now the adventures begin. Looking forward to seeing what you share 👍

[@jaredwatney]

Thanks so much Warwick. Proper adventure time!

[@tingeling953]

Amazing. Congrats.

[@jaredwatney]

Thank you so much

[@chrisinafrica]

Wow Jared!! I cant believe I only saw this video now! Well done! I'll have to pop up to Highway Airfield and come have a sneek peak at your beauty one of these days.. What a fantastic trip down with Thomas, on my bucket list too..

[@jaredwatney]

Hey Chris. You absolutely welcome to 😊

[@Flyer210]

Awesome video! Makes me so homesick! Keep them coming Jared!

[@jaredwatney]

Thanks Kempen! Much appreciated

[@markwilliams8476]

Brilliant keep flying and doing what you do such an amazing individual

[@rodtrevor2315]

Fantastic just what I expected from you. Let the fun begin.

[@jaredwatney]

Happy to hear that! Thanks Rodney!

[@siseroscicero]

I love the new idea with the plane hopefully many people will see it so that we get way more of the great content in the future

[@jaredwatney]

Hope so to. Thanks for the support

[@karenrichardson3432]

Great views and video. Congrats on your new plane!

[@jaredwatney]

Thanks so much. Love it

Awesome scenery!!! Love from Vermont

[@alexrattray2956]

Such a lekker video Bru. Congrats on that mooi plane 😍

[@jaredwatney]

Hey Alex! Thanks man!

[@snakessnyman990]

Jared congratulations now the fun starts

[@jaredwatney]

That indeed it does. Thanks man

[@maxcullen3427]

Another great interesting video Jared thanks

[@brianloughlin6060]

Congrats man very cool to see how pumped your are for finally getting your plane. Just shows that anything is possible if you work for it. Looking forward to seeing what amazing content this will bring

[@jacquespotgieter2700]

Great idea man riding that rescue boat from the bow. Tempting fate...

[@jaredwatney]

We are strapped on to the crane in the event the boat drops, we are not going with it. It’s the only way it can be done. And it’s common as a red boat needs crew from the bow

[@nedanthony7419]

What a life Jared! I aspire to be like you one day!

[@jaredwatney]

Thank you Ned. A lot of what I am today is based on chasing those aspirations as I to have people I look up to. This plane is a perfect example. Thanks again!

[@nedanthony7419]

Jared Watney my pleasure!

[@teddynebel]

that was absolutely amazing. keep up the great work

[@jaredwatney]

Thanks Teddy!! Much appreciated

[@TheshBuilds]

Holy shit. Congrats Jared!

[@jaredwatney]

Haha thanks so much. I’m over the moon

[@introvertadorj1262]

I recently came across Trent palmers channel. He flies bush planes around the US. Pretty cool stuff. Growing up my parents had a Christian Husky we’d fly around. Always was fun.

[@jaredwatney]

I’m a huge fan of his vids myself. Pretty much watched all of them

[@duncanritchie724]

Makes me think back on a ferry flight I was privileged to be part of in a Tigermoth we went down the same routing, never got any good footage unfortunately.

[@Travel-with-Chris]

Awesome mate.

[@minecrafter0505]

Oh my word, your plane looks beautiful, congratz!! Making a trip like this in a new plane must be the best feeling ever, I understand why you didn't sleep ;) About the birds, maybe it's beneficial to get some covers to put in when the plane is parked. Keeping birds and other debris or animals out is probably a good idea. KFA might be able to recommend you sth there, or you send out the dimensions to your followers, I bet someone has a 3D printer they really want to use ;).

[@jaredwatney]

Thank you so much. It has been a long journey and then as the time came closer to leave I slept less 😅 - I have had some temporary covers made but definitely will be looking for something more permanent. Thanks again for your comment and support

[@mohamedawadh9051]

Jared, you just amaze us by every single video. Keep doing that, it’s litt 🔥🔥👌🏻

[@jaredwatney]

Thank you brother

[@willbruce15]

What a video Jared! You and your vids inspire me to go further and higher, trying new things and live life man. Keep up the good work bru 🤙

Thank you so much Will. Really appreciate you bro

Very beautiful Jared!

Thanks Jasper

Well, I guess your expression around 10:57 says it all. Congrats man!

Bruh this was so cool! I'm so jelly of the footage u get to capture and play with!

[@jaredwatney]

Thanks bro. Come shoot with me sometime

[@nicolevanrensburg1181]

So many goosebumps! Very proud!

[@jaredwatney]

Thanks so much Nicole!

[@jackson7421]

That’s quite an awesome little plane. Unfortunately it seems as it’s made for two skinny people. Oh well. I guess I’ll just watch. Btw. You’re right, epic scenery and a great job by you in capturing it .

[@jaredwatney]

I won’t lie, this plane is made for skinny chaps. After this model they released a plane called the “safari”. More space, more power. Options for all of us 😊

[@isaacschiff-lewin8590]

you gotta go bush flying in the alaskan mountains some day. its beautiful, and there are so many airstrips

[@jaredwatney]

That is 100% a bucket list of mine

Hey Jared, if you hurt your lower back check out gravity/inversion tables. They really worked for me throughout my life.

[@jaredwatney]

Thanks so much

[@Sminstes]

Quality over quantity! Good job

[@jaredwatney]

Hoping to have both soon haha

Love it Jared bro been waiting, home is so nice to see awesome can’t wait for more.

Who landed the plane Jared? It looked like a great taildragger landing

[@Matt_Ashwell]

Epic bru🤘 I'd dig to fly with you sometime🤙 In Knysna for December hols🙌😂

[@jaredwatney]

Thanks Matt. Let’s see how we go as I’m still learning the ropes on this bad boy. Taking it slow and safe

[@Matt_Ashwell]

@@jaredwatney Sweet bru. Sounds like a load of fun. I'll stick to paragliding in the meantime🙌

[@haydentaylor66]

Next Trent palmer wanna be🤪🤟 nah seriously though great video keep it up

[@jaredwatney]

Thanks appreciate it.

[@noahgist4833]

Bro, I love your vids, but I hate seeing the decline you got to pump out more content to get on the algorithm because I believe you should have millions of subscribers!!

[@jaredwatney]

Hey Noah. Thank you for the support bro. Buying this plane is a way that allows me to pump out more content. Also the decline off the algorithm is somewhat justified. Iv been away for a while and the content before this last video has been sub par during these weird times. - It has taught me though to see it as just numbers and not be massively upset like I used to be when videos didn’t do as well. I KNOW my time will come again and have plans in place to come back with a vengeance. Thanks again for caring. Means heaps.

[@nicholashastings5409]

Why didn’t TopGear just employ Jared and be done with it, Chris Harris and Jared... job done ✅

[@jaredwatney]

Top gear of the skis and seas. Coming up 😅

[@Eatmagnificent]

that poor birb, it worked so hard only to have its home destroyed by humans, it looked at you as you destroyed it... i hope you are happy... (jokes of course)

[@jaredwatney]

I won’t lie, we felt bad to 😅

[@svshootingstar]

Beautiful plane. Absolutely HATE the way the music modulates up-down-up-down...

[@jaredwatney]

You mean the music is loud or lower for the talking? What many people don’t realize is when you tubers download the audio it comes astronomically loud and each song is at different volumes. I spend huge amounts of time adjusting all my tracks but sometimes I don’t get it perfect. Sorry about that

[@svshootingstar]

@@jaredwatney Starting at 9:00 in, the volume "pumps" up and down and up and down like someone is constantly cranking a volume knob between 3 and 8 and 3 and 8, etc. Very irritating.
