As a flight instructor, the flight instructor's reaction is totally justified. Aviation demands diligence in study, discipline, humility, and respect for the craft. Take what your CFI tells you to heart. As a viewer, I'm fuckin' pumped!! I seriously can't wait to see your progress through flying and going through everything from straight and level, ground ref maneuvers, stalls, cross country flights, and hopefully even your instrument rating! I'm an airline pilot, always wanted to do aerobatics, and I am incredibly jealous of your Extra and couple aerobatic flights so far haha But for real, take it slow, don't get ahead of yourself, and be humble. Lots of people get killed by hubris via aviation.

As someone with over a thousand hours just on high-performance tail-draggers, I can safely say that an Extra is probably the last aircraft I would purchase for your planned mission. Even forgetting the significant aerobatic capability and instability of the Extra, the weather over the Irish Sea is poor at the best of times, with either solid IFR or at best a very limited visible horizon to assist you. Sea crossings on even the nicest days have a nasty habit of the sea blending into the sky and you feeling like you are flying in a goldfish bowl unaware of which is up or down! You require an aircraft with IFR capabilities, preferably FIKI and a stable instrument platform - an autopilot would also be of great benefit!

As someone who has flown both real airplanes and RC airplanes, its about 100x easier to take off and fly an actual airplane even for long distances. Now remembering what all the switches and knobs do and landing safe and smooth is the hard part. Im talking about single propeller planes tho, I know nothing about jets or multi props. But I took off and flew a cessna before I graduated high school. My first flight was over an hour. Ive never had a rc plane fly more than 3 mins without crashing. A stunt plane is a wild first choice but I can't knock it. Still light enough to glide pretty well incase of engine failure. Just focus more on learning than actually filming or cameras until you get comfortable. A tumble wumble hits alot different from hundreds and thousands of feet in the air.
@turbocateyeS4752 ай бұрын
Also just to be clear, as far as transportion a aerobatic plane is a terrible choice. Alot of fuel, more maintenance, no room for much luggage, all that plus what you mentioned. It's absolutely not practical and saving an hour on the commute isn't going to make up for it. But if half your reason is for pure fun and adrenaline then you made the right choice and it'll be easy to deal with the rest. Who cares, it's your money and life and it'll be fun to watch you join the aviation hobby. Plus it's not like you're in it... Oh wait 😂
@muskokamike1272 ай бұрын
If you've flown, you should know about lift....a low wing sport plane has minimal lift and relies on HP to keep it up. A high wing like a cessna doesn't require a lot of power to keep it flying. For eg: the stall speed of a cessna 172 is 40 knots, an EA-300 is 55 knots. (almost 50% faster). with a high wing aircraft, it basically WANTS to fly level since the weight is below the wing. A low wing aircraft all the weight is above the wing which makes it want to tip over, hence why you can do aerobatics with them.

I am 100% behind you Kev as far as getting your pilots license Kev. But you really need to listen to everything your instructor tells you. Everything about aviation is about being 100% thorough. There are no short cuts and if something goes wrong the outcome can be pretty binary. I'd like to keep watching you for years yet, so do everything properly. As nice as your new plane is, it's fundamentally not the plane for a beginner, or even very good for doing distance. The plane you are learning on, and say something like the Cessna 172 are very stable planes and are much better for the first couple of years of flying. That kind of lack of control responsiveness and stability gives you time to figure out what is happening and get yourself out of bad situations. That aerobatic plane is the very opposite, and you need years of experience to fly it safely. Anyway, best of luck.

Sometimes there is paper thin room for error and sometimes even experienced pilots crash due to mistakes or freak accidents such as the seat rolling back on takeoff causing the yoke to be pulled back or spacial disorientation which is especially not uncommon over water even to experienced pilots. It even happens to fighter pilots in sophisticated aircraft. Case in point, there is a thousand ways to crash due to carelessness, weather, mechanical issues or other pilots not paying attention.

IMHO the CAA or EASA should issue a restriction of at least a 1000 hrs airtime before being let loose in control of an Extra. I learnt in flying school to fly a Cessna 152, then after I obtained my PPL (JAA CAA) at 45 1/4hrs having passed all my written exams I flew a Cessna C172 Rheims. I then went onto to fly a PA28 Cherokee 180 which again handled totally different to a C172-180. I also flew a PA28 Warrior and a PA28 Archer 3 again different beasts, before flying a PA28 Turbo Arrow 3. That was enough for me at almost 500 hrs. My first ever flight was in a Beech Bonanza V tail as a kid, I’m now 70, this particular plane is now known as the widow maker. Kev, listen to your flight instructor and forget about the Extra. Before even thinking about flying from Isle of Man you need some ratings after you qualify with PPL like a night rating and instrument rating, IMC is the very least otherwise you’ll become a statistic. An Extra and your attitude in this KZbin is a recipe for disaster or a fool and his money. You just can’t qualify with a PPL then jump into an Extra and fly with low hours experience and fly you need ratings ad experience which you get gradually.

I’m a professional pilot that’s flown everything from ultralights, float planes, helicopters, private jets, WWII bombers, Super Decathlon, Waco YMF, Cubs, etc etc etc. I’ve even owned a Pitts and Citabria. I’ve had 1 flight in an Extra and although perfectly legal, it would be highly inappropriate for even me to jump in an Extra today without having a serious course in the airplane from an experienced instructor. There are so many layers of experience that are worth having before approaching a plane of this caliber. Take the most conservative advice from the most experienced, low ego tailwheel and Extra pilots you can find. I was good enough in slower tailwheel airplanes that the landings were almost boring - even at that level of proficiency stepping up to flying/landing a Pitts or Extra for the first time is still a big step. I’m so excited to follow your journey, but please heed the warnings, commit yourself to the craft and grow your experience at a reasonable rate.

Awesome Extra. Here are two canopy-related pieces of advice: Make shure that nothing comes loose inside the cockpit when you fly. Close all zippers in your suit. If a camera or some other tool hits the inside of the canopy during sudden negative G's, the canopy could easily break. And then you are without a usable plane for months and it will probably put you back at least £ 20k as suggested in this video. And make shure the canopy latch is locked completely before starting the engine. Or if there is a chance a helicopter may hoover close to your plane.

Learning to fly is pretty easy. It usually doesn’t take more than 4-6 hours to reach a level of competence that will allow you to take off, fly a pattern, and land…in a Cessna at least.

Aerobatic planes aren’t made to fly anywhere. They’re made to take off, do aerobatics over an airfield, and then land…at the **same** airfield. They **can** be flown from one place to another, but they’re uncomfortable, unstable, and really bad at all the things you have to do while flying from one place to another. That’s ok though. You apparently have an infinite supply of money, so once you’ve realized what a ridiculous mistake you’ve made, you can tuck your Extra into the back of a hangar somewhere, buy a Cirrus or a Honda Jet or something that’s actually pleasant to travel in, and forget you even own the Extra. 🤷♂️

with that money he could have bought a Daher TBM 930. That is way easier to fly and it's super comfortable, it's like a Mercedes with wings.

That techno babble waffle is what is going to preserve your life. A casual attitude to even the smallest detail can do you in. Risks don’t add they multiply when flying and the pressure to make KZbin videos and/or to save time make it extra risky. Will you still fly if the weathers a bit dodgy and you have a deadline? Take care mate.

Buy a high-wing aircraft and after a few years of experience you can sell it off and go to a low-wing model. There is no reset button if you get into a unrecoverable stall.

If I was the instructor I would not train you until you either sold the extra or promised not to fly the extra until you had at least 200 hours and 2 years as pic and then at least 30 hours dual time in the extra with a very serious and safety focused instructor. If you keep up the attitude you showed in this video, I'm not sure you'll be alive much longer... IN AVIATION, EITHER SAFETY OR THE COFFIN WILL BE PRIORITY, ITS UP TO YOU.
@clarkstonguy10652 ай бұрын
I would divide those recommendations by two and replace the word "fly" with "solo". Keep in mind that he is already an RC pilot and is very familiar with flying aircraft that have a lot less static and dynamic stability than the Extra has. He needs to learn situational awareness and the flow of general aviation more than stick and rudder skills.
@danjames4086Ай бұрын
I think that's the thing...his attitude. It's great for the R/C stuff, and eventhe monstertruck. But it just feels like he's being disrespectful to an entire industry by clowning about.

Not a pilot, but rather a happy sim pilot here. I can fly and land any plane in the sim. Some of the jets take a bit more dedication and concentration. There is one plane that I 100% avoid, since I cannot fly nor land it comfortably, and that is the Extra.

I fly Cessna Caravans for a living, imo for visiting family you're probably better off with something like cirrus (for practicality) but power to you nothing wrong with buying that thing. You really need to take your time, respect the limits and never push yourself. Accidents can and do happen and complacency is where it starts, aviation is dangerous when not respected.
@hfvhf9872 ай бұрын
That was super cool. All the best Kev. What a sound thing makes on a fly-by from ground level. Proper bit of kit. The scene with the instructor after buying it was hilarious. I can't wait to see the antics you get up to on this journey!
@artgreen69152 ай бұрын
Depending on how much this is just an act for KZbin, it wasn't super cool it was super worrying. He doesn't seem to understand the foundations that flight safety is built on, and nor do a concerning number of commenters (though some are all too painfully aware). Even if he has a different attitude buried inside his head somewhere, why show this side to the world to potentially lead others astray? Signs of a very inappropriate attitude.

Get yourself your NPPL with Greg. Plenty of fast 600Kg composite microlights coming to the UK. That Extra will kill you. If you want something bigger progress to PPL and instrument ratings etc. But it's small steps - you can't rush experience.

We all know Kev. I suggest you donate to the lifeboats on Isle of Man. They will be fishing you out of the sea. Because we all know you will ignore the techno babble. And go straight to crashing with RC. I sincerely hope you pay attention to the techno babble. And get some serious hours under your belt before you dance that "extra" all over the sky. Break something up there you may not walk away from it. 21:46 several hundred hours and your still alive. I suggest getting simulator if you don't have one already and rack up as many hours as you can. I have watched to many stunt pilots fatally crash. I do not wish to see a RIP Kevin Talbot video in the next few years. Chase your dream but be cautious and get the skills and knowledge.

Hey Kev I absolutley love the videos and youre the reason i got back into rc trucks after a long 10 year pause. I live in southern michigan (USA)where experimental and ultralight aircraft are huge. I also have heard horror stories from the news and can only imagine. Almost a year ago today i almost got killed on my motorcycle on the way to work by a woman pulling out her driveway and i was doing about 55mph. I am thankful to be alive and completley blessed to be able to comment my story on here but i guess what im getting at is be careful my man and stay around to keep making these awesome videos, im sure that your channel is a huge factor in the new people getting into RC these days. Safe soaring Kev!
