Pinto Bean V2.0 flys at last

[@AkPacerPilot]

Absolutely fantastic!!!! Hands down, best looking pacer, Period!

[@RobOlsenDrye]

Thanks Andy! Been a long time coming

[@AkPacerPilot]

@@RobOlsenDrye we will absolutely have to meet up and bus around this summer

[@RobOlsenDrye]

Heck yes! See you at Valdez maybe?

[@AkPacerPilot]

@@RobOlsenDrye maybe, if I go to Valdez it will likely be a fly in for one day, the Saturday. It’s an in between for me at work and I’d normally get trades from work but I’m taking a trip down to the lower 48 to get my complex endorsement and get a bunch of ifr time towards my instrument rating.

[@RobOlsenDrye]

Fantastic! I look forward to seeing ya there and watching your ifr progress!

[@rickkemper4260]

Beauty, love that Pacer

[@RobOlsenDrye]

Thanks Rick!

[@leefinstad4272]

Job well done! Congratulations

[@RobOlsenDrye]

Thank you Lee!

[@rcbigtirepilot]

Looking better than ever!

[@RobOlsenDrye]

Always forward, always up. Never backwards!

[@rcbigtirepilot]

@@RobOlsenDrye unless you have Draco. Reverse thrust can make you go backwards 😜

[@RobOlsenDrye]

Haha. True true. Next mood maybe? 🤔

[@MrSpaceRatt]

I see a few mods, such as, rear door removed and front left door installed, right yoke removed, and now is a two-place with lots of cargo area. Love it !

[@RobOlsenDrye]

Purpose built! But to be fair, from the factory it only had one rear person door. I do love the extra cargo area!

[@GaragebandandBeyond]

Nice work!

[@mnztr1]

Absolutely beautiful job It looks amazing. Love the color scheme.

[@RobOlsenDrye]

Thank you! It sure came out nice.

[@airmackeeee6792]

Good work mate! 👍

[@RobOlsenDrye]

Thank you! Time to put in some hours and learn to fly again!

[@timhickey9687]

Congratulations mate, have a safe and fun year!

[@RobOlsenDrye]

Thanks Tim!

[@jimecee]

Gotta be the nicest pacer around now, hoping to see a video on all the mods and what you put into it 👍🏻

[@RobOlsenDrye]

I’ll have more soon. Gotta work out some kinks and put some time on it to relearn how to fly it. Much has changed and it’s been a while since I flew much

[@CalebICT]

Congrats!

[@RobOlsenDrye]

Thank you Caleb!

[@nelchinanoble]

Looks good Rob!

[@RobOlsenDrye]

Thank you!

[@airborn7506]

Very, very nice! Great job!

[@RobOlsenDrye]

Thank you! So excited for the adventures to come

[@Thejohnmullen]

Great work man, I’m happy for you and can’t wait to see the content!

[@RobOlsenDrye]

Thanks! I took some video from a flight the other day. Might make a little teaser for ya

[@burkejam3487]

Congrats!!

[@RobOlsenDrye]

Thanks Burke!

[@bhhacker]

Man i am so stoked for you. I have been hoping you square that away for a while and was worried that maybe like life sometimes happens, got sidetracked. Glad to hear it and youre out and having a ball. I am starting a pressure washing company down here in Juneau and hoping to get back on track for pretty much what you had/have. C19 really put a dent in my plans and wallet haha

[@RobOlsenDrye]

It’s been a long journey for sure. And covid didn’t help any. Very happy to be back on the skyroads. Good luck with the power washing business! I hope it serves you well and helps keep you flying!

[@Lt_Tragg]

Well done sir! Thanks for the teaser. Now we're all awaiting your debrief with great anticipation as to the specific upgrades, mods and credits for whom assisted. I'm digging the skylight, blown out baggage area and the wingtips to name several mods that interest me.

[@RobOlsenDrye]

Awesome! I got in three east landings yesterday, nothing but myself and full fuel, with the battery forward and the big tailfeathers, etc. I still could easily touch tail first. More to come soon!

[@RobOlsenDrye]

To answer your question from another video, the tips are stewart tips. It’s all fabric, no plastic or composite tip. Gives a simple look, doesn’t impede visibility like a droop tip and increases surface area!

[@Lt_Tragg]

@@RobOlsenDrye They look great. My guess is they give you a little more wing area but not to much that would create decreased aileron authority assuming your ailerons are staying as original.

[@RobOlsenDrye]

Aileron is stock, there isn’t a legal way to change that, yet. But I bet you are right, it’ll help round out the other mods

[@mattmansell3486]

Just found your channel. Very nice.

[@RobOlsenDrye]

Thank you for following along. Hoping to produce way more videos now that my adventure machine is back in action

[@FalconImagery]

It looks fantastic. Amazing the transformation. Enjoy flying it!

[@RobOlsenDrye]

Thank you! Stoked to be on the skyroads again

[@gregwatruba4541]

Congratulations. Great looking plane. Will you do a walk-around at a later time and tell us what you did/had done??

[@RobOlsenDrye]

Yes sir. I’ll work on that video soon.

[@jayalaska4806]

Damn, nice airplane. I dig the skylight upgrade as well.

[@RobOlsenDrye]

One of the must have mods on a pacer. For many reasons!

[@marcericdavis]

How is it getting in and out over the higher door sills? Thinking about doing the sea plane doors.

[@RobOlsenDrye]

Not bad, I have a long step and I’m flexible, which helps. Still better than sliding over from the right
