A friend of mine is a helicopter pilot, and back in the 1980s he was working a job north of Denver. He had a turbine-powered helicopter that was on wheels. Rather than fly 50 miles back to the nearest airport, it would just fly down the hill and land at the local truck stop, shut down the helicopter, and push it over to the pumps. It ran fine on diesel fuel.

[@rune_lol]

lol

[@colins2]

That makes me think of the Larry Hagman film, Deadly Encounter, where he drops into a gas station in his turbine helicopter and tells the guy to put in x gallons of gas and top it off with diesel. I always wondered how accurate that was.

[@helibob2367]

@@colins2 Actually, the flight manuals on most turbine helicopters specify that diesel 2 is an authorized fuel.

[@colins2]

@@helibob2367 Ah, I didn't know that, thanks.

[@steveb1739]

Used to do that with my JetRanger in South Africa. Either diesel, or illuminating paraffin, which was easily available in the 80's. The injector nozzle on the Allison 250-C20B had to be decoked every 5 hours as a precaution. That involved leaving it in a caustic solution overnight. We never did notice any carbon accretion on the nozzle, no matter what fuel we ran! Good times 😊

[@jimshaw899]

Ryan, you are raising the bar on production quality. I appreciate the effort that takes and know that video work goes up by the square of production quality. You're killing it.

[@carloscortes5570]

That's right,when flying between mountains you never go down the middle, you hug one side in case you need to get out and make a 180 turn.specially in high altitudes where you don't have enough power to climb.but in the canyon at that altitude thats not a problem

[@n55ma29]

Some of my favorite strips: Ballarat, Panamint Springs, and Chicken Strip--named for a few pilots who were intimidated, and too chicken to land there. It has been widened, cleared, and marked much better than the last time I landed there. Too bad you missed the hot springs. Another day, another great video. All the best.

[@bermripper]

I'm enjoying your Kitfox videos, Ryan. So glad you were able to get your own plane!!

For warm up, I have a modification on my 912uls in a ch750. I go from cold to in temp on a 35f day in about 5 min. It's basically a thermostat for your oil but I don't have the name of it in front of me.

[@fireflyrobert]

One word for this video Ryan, awesome!

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Wow, thanks!

[@nicksharp7972]

My O-200 says something like "if the engine responds normally to throttle input, it's warm enough" and that's almost immediately to any temperature. I give at least a 5 min warm up after either hanger nights or my electric cylinder head+oil pan heater. I have no oil cooler to tape off so I have to close off so e of the cowl opening. Half the opening is good down to about 0°F for full temperature, half closed off is a bit under kill for less than that but acceptable to about -15. Colder than that I'm not sure as I'd like to maintain some cooling at the base of the cylinders and not just close up the middle of the cowl out towards the edge

[@valleywoodstudio7345]

I see negative posts about risk taking - but it inspires me to get up and about, and do stuff and not fall into the trap of being a couch potato. Not flying though as that is beyond me investment wise as I'm all wrapped up in recording and studio work. Love planes though since a wee kid, especially piston ones up to the late 40's - the nadir of mechanical technology. We need this type of stuff especially after lockdown. Keep it up!!

You can do it Kimberly. Overcome those fears! Most dangerous oart of a flight is the drive to airport. Especially with a competent pilot like MissionaryBushPilot

[@m99343]

Great videos Ryan - I love all of yo content. The ads are a little over the top - albeit I did see your video where you explained why you need them. I get it. However - most You Tubers have adverts but they don't interrupt the flow of the flow of the videos by spending 5 minutes discussing why you might want a VPN ! Not what I tuned in for.

Not sure if you can hear the high pitch noise in the cockpit audio. I'm guessing it's caused by the transponder? A high-pass filter might take care of it.

[@agfzagfsz29yaxrt67]

the high pitch tone is kind of annoying in the video. That said, superb video i wish i was a bush plot

[@trbeme1346]

I as thinking you meant to say 170 as I though that was tailwheel vs nosewheel but I looked up the tail number and sure enough it is a 172. Great video. Sure wish I could afford a Kitfox as they look like neat little planes to fly. My Decathlon is fun to fly but nothing like being able to go low and slow and land almost wherever you want.

Great video, but I’m curious… is that canyon one way or is it wider than it appears. I would be concerned about a moderately fast plane coming from the opposite direction around some of those curves.

I would love to hear a detailed explanation. for example what wind aloft are a no go, what winds at the ground are show stoppers. etc. im very close to doing a kitfox build but dont know realistically what my wind limitations will be. for example, do you only fly on very calm days or what are you parameters that you look at when making a decision. thx

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

To be honest, I'm still learning that. I think that would be a pilot to pilot thing. What I might feel comfortable flying it would be different than another pilot. I prefer calm days though. It's too much work fighting wind
