Some Local Bush Flying Shenanigans

[@duncanritchie724]

When you prop swing don’t swing the lower prop, it’s much easier and safer swinging the higher prop it gives you more space and it’s much more comfortable with less chance of falling into the prop. Greetings from SA

[@Merlin-pm4vm]

Duncan Ritchie Exactly. Also I have taken my blade off and rotated the alignment by one set of holes to get it where I want it. I also carry a spare glove as my composite blade is sharp. I started to hand prop from behind,, just feels safer.

[@joelallen9040]

Merlin The re clocking doesn’t work with the Rotax engines with the clutch in the reduction drive.

[@cluelessbeekeeping1322]

Hello fellow 911 Dispatcher, was going to say the exact same thing till I saw your comment. Thank you!

[@andrewkubinski]

Cool to see a T-38 appearance at 1:25...Pretty much the exact opposite of the STOL aircraft these guys usually fly!...rotate speed in a T-38 is faster than their max cruise haha. And a minimum runway of 8000 ft required. Never thought i'd see one on this channel, pretty cool!

[@hshs5756]

The wisdom of Trent's preference for flying with pilots who know their limits was graphically demonstrated in Allec Joshua Ibay's most recent video kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmTado2rpNull80 where a captain (with over 10,000 hours) overrode the first officer's (with 831 hours) call for a go-around when things didn't appear to be going right on the approach.

[@kenskelso]

Please please Trent get someone to show you how to hand prop. correctly, we don't want to loose you. Come visit my strip in the UK and I'll teach you how to hand start our Chipmunk.

[@danielforde-pogson]

"Ground adjustable pitch"...Right, so you can't do that while you're flying...?!?

[@SkylerB17]

same here! ive had access to a certified flight instructor my whole life; my father. and im 25 without my pilots license. i think the biggest thing for me was i didnt feel like there was an aviation niche that i fit into. I knew bush flying existed but i thought it was only the kind of thing people do to get cargo and people and supplies into hard the reach areas. had no idea there was an entire recreational side to it. Trent might have rekindled my desire to be a pilot.

I always hand propped my high performance Pitts S1S. However, those lightweight three blade propellers are very dangerous to hand prop. They spin up so quickly to high RPM like a model airplane. Scary.

[@malikest.968]

Hey Trent, I've been following your channel for a while now and I've really been inspired, not because of your day-to-day lifestyle, which would be a dream to many people. It's more about of the simple idea of flying which is something I've always wanted to be able to do. However, I am discouraged because of the fact that I am deaf. I feel like I might not be allowed to have a pilot's license or even be accommodated because of my deafness. When I watch your videos, I think about myself in the air and wonder about the communication limits FOR ME and other pilots in the sky. Safety in the air is extremely important which is why I would like someone with patience to be able to teach me how to fly (not asking you but that would be too much to ask.. and a dream lmao). Generally, growing up, people tend to give up quickly after learning that I am hard of hearing and that I need a bit more accommodation. I imagine having my own pilot's license in the future and would specifically like to fly bush planes or Cessnas and I hope that once I start my journey, I am able to receive such accommodations along the way. Keep on inspiring! I will try to continue looking for resources that can hopefully support and guide me through this journey.

[@salnichols94805]

Trent, the safest way to hand start is to: 1) switches and mags off. It can’t fire. 2) pull the prop through to the top. 3) switches on, mags on, brakes on. 4) swing your right leg TOWARDS the plane, and as it swings back, pull the prop. Your momentum, caused by the leg swing will pull you away from the prop. I used to do this on my dad’s Aeronca when I was 12. Piece of cake.

[@airgliderz]

Never assume it "can't fire" / start with MAG's off. Than can get you killed/injured. A bad connection on how mags are off, shorted to ground and the motor can start when prop is pulled through. Stay safe, never assume anything is safe when it is your life, it is always your responsibility for your own safety, no one else's is. Others doing something as turning mags off should Never be relied on. Trust but verify, it will save your life and prevent injuries.

[@salnichols94805]

alan connelly I think I said switches (Battery) off as well, which should make it pretty difficult to start.

[@raptor7347]

Rotax engines WILL kick back, as the reason for not curling your fingers around the trailing edge. Also, as with a firearm, always assume it is loaded, (mag(s) hot). Communication between pilot and propper should be very clear and precise. Respecting hand propping should be as important as respecting the decision to land or not to land.

[@MrGaryGG48]

Heavy leather work gloves might be a good idea if you do much pulling on that prop. That sharp edge can get old if that becomes a habit.

[@ronjohnson9507]

[@JoshuaSobel]

Be careful not to be leaning towards the prop too much. You should do the leg-swing: right leg up and forward, pull it back as you swing and walk away. I think FlightChops has a good video about it.

[@prospectorsoils1240]

Pretty funny I see you jumping the e-bike silly (I own one) and then hand cranking a rotax. I’m here to tell you jumping the e-bike was way more dangerous IMO and I ride a CR500 on a regular basis.

[@SHOOTSHOW00]

What gun do you carry on your bush Plane? I think I'd want a rifle caliber but do to weight, maybe a 6.5 Grendel.

[@jodelboy]

when hand-propping the engine, why doesn't he stand BEHIND the propeller and instead directly in the pulling-wind infront of it?

[@doncrawford3697]

I'm an old pilot but not an old bold pilot, I HAD A Stinson 108-3, it was a very forgiving plane. I lived in Northern Idaho and the worst back country field I've been in was Moose creek and fish lake. I admire what you boys do, if I was younger and in better health I might do that too.

Disappointed to see the complete lack of any precautions, distancing, or even acknowledgement for the global pandemic. You realize that's killed hundreds of thousands of people, right? I'm absolutely in favor of going out and flying, but maybe try to keep your fellow pilots from getting sick too.

Hi Trent, I’m a 70s ppl just wondering why the Balanca citrabria with 180 hp constant speed prop wasn’t a popular bush plane? Was my dream machine at the time.

[@lushkvarla]

Hi Trent! I have been following yor channel for some time. I like your videos especialy about aviation. Every time you fly you make comment on the spots where you land. If I can suggest to make a video about how you choose a new spot, about safty issues upon landing and takeoff. Something about your safe rules for landing and takeoffs. Thanks and keep up the good work! :)

[@bjs2022]

Your hand-propping technique was a little off. You should not be leaning foreword/into the propeller. But, because of your height and the three-blade prop, leaning a bit maybe wasn’t too bad.

Alright, can someone explain to me why you are supposed to hand spank wheel planes from INFRONT of the prop, in the direction the aircraft will move if something goes wrong? I've hand bombed float planes a bit, and it seems to make alot more sense to me to be behind the prop.

[@karlschuch5684]

Trent, just some info on the hand prop... the safest way to do it is to get close to the prop standing up straight, put your back foot forward, and as you start to spin the prop have your forward foot moving back... that way your momentum is away from the prop and you're no longer leaning into it as in this video... from an old taylorcraft pilot.

[@jfbriggs]

Watch flightchops vid on how to hand prop, was a lil scary seeing you leaning in.

[@michaeldriggers593]

Please do not place fingers over the prop any farther than absolutely necessary and try not to bend at the waist. Bending get your head closer to the prop. Just something to consider.
