I am 73, this year. When I was a preschooler, my Dad bought a Cub from the dealer in Medicine Hat, Alberta. I have good memories of flying with my Dad. On one trip from our farm in Orion, Alberta to Medicine Hat, I asked my dad for a toy farm set like the one I could see from way up there. There was a farm set, in a box, for me to open when we got home. In the 1950s, Dad's brother bought and flew a "V" Tail Beechcraft. Uncle Fred had a heart attack when he was landing his "V" tail in Medicine Hat. He lost his pilot license but continued to fly for the next 20 years.

Congratulations Trent. The 915 is the Holy Grail of Rotax engines. I've been saving my lunch money for two years to buy one and that dream comes true in December. I'm planning to make a coffee table out of the engine crate and put it in my living room. Don't anyone tell my wife.

"Hello, rotax motors"

[@randymartin5521]

Awesome! Can't wait to see some vids with the new motor and parts! Due to various issues I must fly vicariously through channels like yours. I was at Stead back in 2009 for the air races, what a blast that was. Looks like a beautiful area to fly in. Love what you do man, keep it up!

[@TheCamaro5]

Its so awesome you have some great companies and organizations helping you out with this engine. KitFox guys apparently are awesome and the Rotax Safety Club are awesome. Couldn't happen to a better channel.

[@Schevron]

Awesome - I'm happy for you! I can't wait to see the Freedom Fox all new and shiny. The 915 is such a beautiful engine and the blue fits your plane perfectly. So: back to work 💪🏻 😉

[@trangia12]

I am not a pilot but I am hooked on these planes. Bucket list is to become a Flying Cowboy

[@danielbrooks1845]

I love how humble Trent always is. That combined with an obvious love for what he does and wonderful shooting and editing make his videos a joy to watch. He makes me want to get back into flying.

[@Aventura2005]

Congratulations, you deserved it. Your coverage of Bush flying and light aviation makes you the right recipient of such prized engine. Please continue the excellent work.

[@moboengr3202]

Awesome. Congrats to you Trent. I'm happy for you that it's working out. Can't wait to see you flying around with more power.

[@paulm1905]

OUCH! Just saw the price of the Rotax 915 Turbo. You have real nice friends...Grandpa

[@soren2427]

So cool for you, can’t wait to see further install. Hope to see a clean instrument panel as well😊 Have fun🔧

[@MartinAdamMartinsen]

Congratulations Trent. I am so happy for You. 915is is a beast!

[@MegaNovi81]

As drone owner and aviation fan I really appreciate your channel! Good job Mr Palmer! You made me watch almost all of your videos with real pleasure 😁

Trent first off thank you so much for the time an effort you put into your videos I could literally watch the intro alone on repeat I love how much you capture and how awesome it feels just to watch keep the awesome footage coming and I’ll be sure to continue smashing that 👍🏻 button!!!!!

[@caphillres]

Dude! I’m totes jealous! Can’t wait to see how that 915 works out for ya. I’m considering that for my build this coming year.

[@Tommyflies]

So awesome, can't wait to see the performance differences! Congrats!

[@bboylionic8]

Love your videos man, thanks for being such an inspiration, hopefully I’m up and flying on my own by summer!

[@AeroBuilders]

Congrats!!! All your brilliant efforts with the VLOG have pulled through - can't wait to see your new engine in action!

I found this guy watching hard landings of big planes. The vid that came up was his bouncer while flying with Draco. This dude is really cool. I grew up around pilots and so many of them just love life. Always have great stories and knowledge. My stepdad was a crop duster in the 80's. He also rented an AT-6 and P-51 out of Hollister Ca. It was awesome. He had a Super Cub that he put on floats with no wheels. We set the Cub on a flatbed trailer, drove it down the strip behind a large diesel and he took off from the trailer. I'll never forget it.
