PUSHING THE JODEL TO THE LIMITS - PILOT VLOG no 415

[@JodelFlyer]

Thank you Terry. Glad you liked it. I always watch when pilots say “airspeed alive” We are usually at the brow of the hill at that point with no abort option. 😊

This is really interesting to see the weight calculations, i have never seen this before. Very informative. Good ol murky weather. Great stuff tim.

[@waynestotton9982]

Good to see John still taking to the skies.

[@JodelFlyer]

Yes, we are keeping him flying!

[@kevchilton908]

Great vid Tim. I particularly enjoyed the weight and balance refresher, and it was good to see the Jodel didn't even notice how close you were 😆

[@JodelFlyer]

Thank you. Glad you liked it. We were very pleased with the performance. I didn’t mention that the POH states that the maximum landing weight is 740kg. Not sure how they came to work that out?

[@ShortField]

What a great video Tim. I was watching the ASI and it seemed a bit sluggish at the start but got up OK and nice to know two up and 80kg of baggage in the rear is totally do-able.

[@JodelFlyer]

I did write a reply to your comment Terry but it just appears in the feed? 🤔

[@gordanmilne7034]

Mr Joly and Mr Delemontez knew what they were doing. Nice trim and trip Tim.

[@JodelFlyer]

The certainly did! Thank you

[@FlyingDarkLord]

Such a versatile aircraft! 😮👏🏼 I’m impressed to see how comfortable it appears with 3 onboard 👍🏼

[@JodelFlyer]

It performed really well Geoff. 😊

[@Payne2view]

It is always good to see you get air under the tyres and have a mates trip up together. I hope everyone is keeping warm.

[@JodelFlyer]

Log burner on today and editing next weeks video 😊

[@theflyingfrog]

There’s no getting away from the fact that Jodels are the best 😊 🏆

[@JodelFlyer]

I think we are a little biased but I agree Mark!

This makes a new meaning to three men in a boat to three men in a plane, looking forward to the next adventure, thanks Tim.

[@JodelFlyer]

3 men in a boat or Last of the Summer Wine?😂

[@HarryFaber-z7l]

That was a lovely video. What caught my eye was the title, and it took me back to 1975. I was in the upstairs office in a hangar at a former BoB station, outside was a row of cars parked by the grass. There was some excitement and we all went to the window and saw a chap, flying a Jodel, over the top of the cars but below our window height. That was pushing some limits! That bold pilot was compared to me an old pilot, but I shan't mention his name!

[@JodelFlyer]

Thanks for watching and leaving me the comment. Interesting to read 😊

[@s1spittsdriver]

Good to see you boys having fun! ❤ Please put the date of your flight in the description because I always like to check if I was airborne on the same day!

[@JodelFlyer]

I do on some but I take your point and will try to remember. This one was the 10th of November.

[@s1spittsdriver]

@@JodelFlyer Thanks mate 👍 Just checked and I flew on the 11th. So I wasn’t prowling around on the Sunday😂

[@clearprop]

Just shows what this wonderful little aircraft can do if needed. A superb machine. Really hope to meet G-AYEH and its owner at some point in the future. 👍

[@JodelFlyer]

We were very impressed with the performance on the day. Looking forward to next years flying season!

[@poetpilot]

Great little aircraft, the DR1050. I part owned G-ARRE back in the 90s. Load lifting and short strip performance were amazing.

[@JodelFlyer]

They are great machines! 😊 Thanks for watching

[@jmanhuntley]

That's a great little aircraft 👍

[@JodelFlyer]

It is a great load lifter and reasonably economical

[@Sluf7]

Pretty much what ever ya can get between the. Leading and trailing edge she will lift it.😅😂 John looked quite at home In the cheap seats and had a good view of everything up front.😮😂 Good to get out and muck about in some WX keeps one Honest and useful when it does turn a bit crapo.😅😮. Keep at it and always remember if in doubt turn the engine off if not stopping.😂😮😢😅❤

[@JodelFlyer]

I think John enjoyed his trip in the back and Duncan did make us a cup of tea.

[@barrywood5357]

Nobody puts baby in a corner. Doesnt matter what you sound like but as long as you talk they know your there and the content is done.. keep it safe keep it coming

[@JodelFlyer]

Thanks Barry

[@GULLPERCHFLYER]

A murky run out Tim, good to be airborne. Chris in Devon.

[@JodelFlyer]

It was quite a murky day but good to get into the air!

[@tez4274]

Nice one Tim

[@JodelFlyer]

Thank you

[@sleightsflyer9757]

Impressive take off performance 3 up on wet grass. 😊 👍

[@JodelFlyer]

We were very pleased with it.

[@flyingkub]

I like the section about Weight & Balance but I must say I do the landing part differently, I always look at worst case so with min fuel, that way if I have to divert or hold for a long time I know my CofG remains in limits.

[@s1spittsdriver]

And I always have to do a third calculation, to cater for inverted flight 😉😂

[@flyingkub]

@@s1spittsdriver Especially just after take off 🙂

[@JodelFlyer]

Good idea Algy. Good to share ideas

[@flyingkub]

@@JodelFlyer Well I try to prepair for the unexpected, especially as I fly test aircraft, I have to make provision and report on performance.

[@pbulfin8488]

Great video! Quick question, what engine have you got in your aircraft? 0-200? I only ask as I’ve got a variation of a Jodel (Falconar F-11) with the 0-200, my MAUW is a lot less though, 620kg

[@JodelFlyer]

Thank you and yes, it is a 0200

[@jeffbridges666]

Alright in the back 🧐

[@JodelFlyer]

Got to make sure they are all okay! 😊

[@mikegmdw1]

In terms of safety I'd like to see a shoulder harness for the back seat passenger.

[@JodelFlyer]

Maybe I will look into seeing if there is an approved mod to the factory build.

[@bernhardecklin7005]

Great post, thank you very much. What I also like... the constant smile of the passenger in the back seat... No offence, of course.

[@JodelFlyer]

Glad you liked it. Thank you for watching
