Some Unexpected Twists on a Weekend Flight to the Beach in My Cozy MKIV Airplane

[@joaquinandes]

Thanks for including this gratitude segment. You're living the dream. I've watched a lot of pilots on KZbin but rarely hear them expression their gratitude for the privilege to fly. Thanks for the motivation to pursue our dreams and make them a reality!

Amazing video!

[@rumym]

Hey there! fellow Canadian and canardian here! Thanks for the effort you put into making these videos. I look forward to the notification for when your videos drop. Love the maintenance ones just as much as the flying ones.

[@CanardBoulevard]

Thanks for the kind words! What kind of canard do you have?

[@rumym]

@@CanardBoulevard Velocity XLRG

[@CanardBoulevard]

@@rumym That's an amazing, beautiful airplane!!

[@rumym]

@@CanardBoulevard thanks, it is my first canard and I love it. But, thanks to your videos I keep falling in love with it over and over again.

16:30 I have some frequency-specific radio gremlins too. Sometimes it sounds like a string+tin can audio, sometimes really scratchy, sometimes fairly decent. I'm gonna have to take it to an avionics shop and see if we can work through things. My guess is a bad antenna cable or a grounding problem- I fly a plastic plane as well, I think they tend to have more problems with that.

[@CanardBoulevard]

Mine is purely the sidetone (what I hear in my headset, and what gets recorded by my camera). I've gone online to LiveATC afterwards to listen to my transmissions that I had heard as scratchy in my headset, and they were crystal clear in the actual transmitted signal.

[@flysport_tedder]

@@CanardBoulevard aha. Mine seems to be okay some of the time and not others (on liveatc). Too bad, was hoping to lean on your learnings!

[@Raven9409]

It gives me great pride knowing I was present for perhaps the first-ever episode of the forerunner to Canard Boulevard…..seeing the progress since the crude film making of 33 years ago is impressive.

[@CanardBoulevard]

LOL!!! You should have great fear that the results of that crude film making of 33 years ago could once again surface... :)

Hey! So I’m in the 14%! Glad to know I’m supporting you somehow, but sad that people would not subscribe! Yours is one of the few channels that I’m always looking for new content! Keep up the good job here!

[@CanardBoulevard]

Thank you so much!

[@nose49]

Wonderful video! Great flight! Appreciate the work you put into your videos, always learn something from your channel.

[@CanardBoulevard]

Thanks so much for your kind words!

[@astralbody]

Hey, Scott! As a subscriber from when you started the channel. I appreciate every video you've made. I really liked this one because of your "speech" 😊. I'm a 52 yr old career 2.0 finishing up their commercial training and heading towards CFI with the ultimate goal of corporate flying. I can't agree with you more. Keep going or just do it. Aviation is magical and is worth it. Those on the fence, find a way to do it, find your path, and remember you're never alone in it. Cheers! Oh yeah, I will be using that wealth of knowledge in the Canada visit video....that is an amazing source of info!

[@CanardBoulevard]

Thank you so much, I love that you're well into your career 2.0, and you're exactly the kind of person I was talking to!!

[@qwertyplm13does51]

Thanks for frequent videos.

[@valleyken]

- Cool.

[@jimbojones3400]

👍✌️

[@janrhebergen5783]

Hey Scott! I'm enjoying your videos quite a bit. You are quite an accomplished and talented KZbinr now. Thanks for interesting and entertaining content. PS: if everything always goes 100% your way and all systems work it would probably be less so. Keep on going!

[@CanardBoulevard]

If everything always goes 100%, it makes for boring content! I've actually been doing KZbin for over a decade now...this is not my first (or only) channel. :)

[@janrhebergen5783]

@@CanardBoulevard Ha! :) That explains a lot. You're good! A very pleasant way to communicate indeed.

[@majorpayne608]

Love your videos Scott! I am becoming a real COZY fan. I might just have to sell my Piper and look for a COZY.

[@justanavgguy7802]

So great of you to provide encouragement to prospective pilots, plane owners & enthusiasts of GAA. Have you ever had to do a glide approach & landing? Your wisdom & concern for safety is quite evident when you mention that you have island airports available when crossing the lakes. Part of your personal minimum standards no doubt & best way to stay flying. Looking forward to your next YT flight!

[@CanardBoulevard]

Once....many (like 30+) years ago, during my initial training, when returning from a cross country flight in a Cessna 152. I entered into the pattern at midfield downwind and pulled the power back, and to my utter surprise, instead of the power coming back, the engine coughed and died. I continued around the pattern and landed, then coasted off the runway. Once back on the ground, the engine started right up, so I figured at the time that it must have been carb ice.

[@sasquatchishere7453]

Cool video Scott, thanks for sharing.

[@cozyflyinggirl]

great motivational video, but FYI the only time you need to state you are "experimental" is upon first call up to ATC. See you at RR?

[@CanardBoulevard]

Force of habit. :) Did I see you at RR?

[@lowelldueck3096]

Nice flight with a great cruise speed. What are your power settings and fuel flow? What engine is installed?

[@CanardBoulevard]

It's an IO-360, I will typically run at 60-65% in cruise, at between 7000-9000 feet. That will get me 160-165 KTAS at from 7.2 to 8.2 GPH (depending on power and altitude).

[@idlewise]

08:00 the ATC sounds English!

[@CanardBoulevard]

I thought the same thing!

[@dimaclipse25]

Rough River.....??

[@CanardBoulevard]

It was supposed to be this weekend, obviously got cancelled due to weather. It's been rescheduled for two weeks from now...but I have something on that weekend already. We'll see...

[@billwilliams9527]

So you have to land and go through customs? Whoops, I have my answer.
