Plans Built Thatcher CX4 Aircraft - Builder Greg Pixley

[@wingslevel]

Hats off to anyone that builds from scratch! Good interview

[@jonahbrian174]

I know I'm kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good site to stream newly released movies online?

[@arisamuel7042]

@Jonah Brian i watch on FlixZone. Just google for it =)

[@patrickcarlin7396]

I am in the last steps of getting my CX-4 running. I got it with a blown motor which is now rebuilt and hung on the airplane. I hope to fly it this month or early next month. Awesome seeing a quality video being made on these airplanes!

[@3SM20Pilot]

Mr. Thatcher let me sit in his plane at OshKosh quite a few years ago. I thought that was the plane that was going to get me in the air. Such a nice little performer. If I recall the fuel burn at 125 is something like 3.5 GPH.

[@ExperimentalAircraftChannel]

Sounds about right! Thanks for chiming in here today and saying hello!

[@shevetlevi2821]

Looks beautiful. A little orange fighter. Stay safe.

[@slavasandsglam]

What a beautiful aircraft! My respect to the creator!

[@Gmoney_72]

Scratch builders,, a level of commitment that isn’t measured. Beast mode!

[@WWBIII]

Pix! One of the sharpest Weapons School graduates to ever strap on a fighter jet. Great to see you, squadron-mate - it has been a long time. - Burners

[@wesvasher]

I want to build a CX4 someday. One of the best looking homebuilts out there.

[@FloridaLightSport]

Excellent interview with a great craftsman. I love that he even shares his mistakes and fixes. Well done sir.

[@reidwardle3992]

Bryan. Always great to see the interviews that you do. Pertinent questions and you do highlight the craftsmanship in the builds. Thank you and don't be discouraged by the baiting by some. Aviation and Craftsmanship Forever! Reid. Keep it up

[@ExperimentalAircraftChannel]

Thanks for stopping by Reid! I appreciate your support! I love this DIY AVIATION stuff :-)

[@stewartbeckman7909]

He did a great Job! Thanks for the interview!

[@ExperimentalAircraftChannel]

You are very welcome. Thanks for saying hello!

[@Kevin_747]

Nice example of a CX4. Thanks for the interview and video.

[@danieljimenez8018]

Greg did an excellent presentation and video. Pix since his college days is a class act and too build an airplane , and fly it, is way above a bunch of us. Keep building Pix and see you in the sky some day !!

[@perrysplus]

Great that everyone gets to see what a nice plane Pix built!

[@P61guy61]

Excellent. Thank you for posting

[@erronius1]

a fly by would have been a nice addition.

[@ExperimentalAircraftChannel]

Agreed. But he wasn't flying this day. Sorry to disappoint. I am often at the mercy of what is available. Thanks for stopping by today! Will do more and more flying in the future! :-)

[@shortribslongbow5312]

Very nice aircraft, thanks for sharing.

[@SVSky]

I'd recognize those canopy rails anywhere, server rack hardware!

[@ExperimentalAircraftChannel]

Is that where they came from? I thought they looked familiar as well! :-) Thanks for watching today!

[@homertalk]

Love this guy!!!

[@raydreamer7566]

Good video with exceptional questions and answers.

[@matthewbrothers2823]

Very awesome plane, enjoyed all aspects of this video.

[@ExperimentalAircraftChannel]

Thank You! :-)

[@stevelyons6739]

Great Job! Great Achievement!!

[@stewartbeckman7909]

Beautiful plane! Thank you!

[@doncatch1]

Enjoyed. Good info.

[@wayneschenk5512]

At another level.

[@bobsakamanos4469]

Excellent interview and explanations. Would like to hear more on the slider canopy construction, rails & latches though.

[@chetmyers7041]

Builder did a great job. This may have been his first airplane, but bet he is very "handy" guy.

[@KowboyUSA]

Sporty little bird. Nice work!

[@jimshannon395]

Beautiful airplane!

[@konstantinoskatomeris3851]

Beautyfull!!!

[@ExperimentalAircraftChannel]

Hello my friend!

[@mhilderbrand7693]

Great questions!

[@Jeffopar]

Great to represent Glock. 👍

[@ExperimentalAircraftChannel]

Haha! All the details. :-)

[@johngriffiths118]

Surely his plane should be plastic and not metal ?

[@albertogarciaarango2411]

Beautyful , PLANE

[@foesfly3047]

I'm pretty sure that's an SPA Panther in the background. I'd like to hear about that one too!

[@ExperimentalAircraftChannel]

Well...you are in luck! Check out a few episodes back on our Channel. We did a full interview with Greg on his SPA Panther as well. ;-)

[@pepelepew4117]

Nice. One question though, he didn't build the kit cause his wife didn't want to be his airbag the CX4 is a single seater, so what about the wife?

[@ExperimentalAircraftChannel]

Sure. He realized after buying the first "kit" and her input towards it, that he would be flying "solo." Hence now the single seater :-) Thanks for saying hello!

[@georgesheptak5657]

Great build, your a purist, a very beautiful plane. BTW, those are great flags in the background. A real Patriot flying community. I would Love to live there. Happy flying my Patriot friend. Oh, before I forget, I built a Pietenpol Aircamper , Corvair powered.

[@dropdog395]

Supporting a sore loser who called our troops suckers and losers makes you a patriot. I guess you're a patriot then.

[@crawford323]

What issues did you have with the DARs and paperwork?

[@togle184]

Very interesting video. Please invest in wind noise reduction equipment which would make your videos great!

[@ExperimentalAircraftChannel]

Hah! Ironically I did in fact use "Noise Reduction Equipment" on the MIC that day. It just was in fact that windy....at times :-) Thanks for saying hello and for watching today!

[@risingsun_]

What’s the tbo on these?

[@ndcrtl1089]

Your wife is never going to ride in this one either. It’s a one sitter. LOL.....!!!

[@Alex-gj5ou]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@dirtcop11]

Nice plane. 120 with an 80hp engine says it is a good design.

[@ExperimentalAircraftChannel]

Agreed! It is rather "slippery" I am told :-) Thanks for watching today!

[@dmc2554]

My grandpa flew a Thatcher CX4 over Germany in ww2. He never spoke of the horrors he'd seen

[@timdumler5628]

Carbs on an airplane engine when fuel injection is so readily available? Guess he doesnt do aerobatics.

[@outlawflyer7868]

Cool plane, could have done without that seditious flag waving in the background.

[@treasurediver93]

Hey, wind socks are all they’re good for lol

[@ExperimentalAircraftChannel]

Please leave all of your politics out of this. This is an Aviation Channel and Aviation topic. We do live in a FREE COUNTRY (for the moment) which allows each and every one of us the freedom of choice and thinking. Thank You for taking the time to watching today. I hope this encourages you in some way to keep flying or to building something one day.

[@treasurediver93]

@@ExperimentalAircraftChannel Just so we’re clear you can let someone fly flags in your videos and that’s considered leaving politics out of the channel, but if someone with opposing views comments on it then you want to leave politics out of the channel?

[@treasurediver93]

What happened to the “FREE COUNTRY” part?

[@ToyManFlyer1100]

@@treasurediver93 so just let me be clear...Instead of admiring the craftsmanship, demonstrated ability and perseverance of time,money and effort, you 2 boneheads come here beefing about some dadgum flag....The collective intelligence level of you 2 is abhorrent... Tell you what...Stick to watching cartoons on the Disney Channel...Mite serve y'all better....
