What's your rough cruise speed with those setups?

Thank you!!!

thanks!!

Agreed 😂 thanks Tom!

Thank you!!

Love your movies!

that is awesome!!!!! have a blast!!

Thanks 😊

I would say the wingtip was around 30ft away. Wide angle camera does distort things a little too. Not many places you can get up that close to something, and still have 500-1000ft below you that's open... it's an interesting experience for sure! I love that "3 dimensional" flying where you are really down in it. Like the canyon approach into hidden splendor... I rolled it over and into the canyon fast, power to idle, glide all the way in. Touched the throttle just a bit off the end as I picked up some burbles.. but had the runway made from up top... yet you get to be down in the canyon the whole way, really exciting flying, and yet, pretty safe not needing power to reach the strip. Can't do that many places.... Thanks Edward. -T

Thank you my friend. This one did take some time, and I had to export it 5 times before it was over to get the sound issues worked out - still having lots of trouble with that stupid issue where the sound wont export for a small piece of the video, it will be random each time I export. Known bug that Adobe won't fix. But all good! The S19 is pretty impressive, Glenn can stuff that thing in some pretty tight spots!!!

agreed!

thanks Joe!!

Oh, come to think of it I was noticed a structure down there while coming in.... I will do this next time!

@@GravityKnightFlying it's worth the hike, super cool mine you can go take a safe peak at. you'll love it.

Levi, I agree man!

thanks Daniel!

Thank you Bobby!! 👍

Eric has been coming to breakfast, we ought to see how many Rans we can get over here.

this is getting old! thought maybe we had done or winding for this spring.. seems it will be one of those years it blows hard until may.. hopefully not longer! ill get up there one of these days soon!!

Definitely doable! We left an airport once at gross and 10,650DA! Still got off in 500' and managed 300fpm minute climb in the same aircraft.

@@s19flyer she's a good one the S-20

thanks Khris!

I would have enjoyed that a lot!! Back in the day, I made many BASE jumps in Mineral Canyon.

We were in there about a year and a half ago. It was a backup potential camp spot for this trip. We convinced the 3 that left Dirty Devil to stop in there on their way back to camp, I think Erik rolled it and said it was pretty rough on one end, so they didn't end up landing. Sounds like it might need a little work after winter. Neat spot though for sure, nice piece of river there!

Thanks Wiz!

Hey Terry, check out Mexican Mountain, Hidden Splendor, Mineral Canyon, Happy Canyon, Dirty Devil airstrips... best place to look those strips up is utahbackcountrypilots.org as many of these strips are not on a regular chart. Most of those are west of green river a little ways, and then main south west and south of green river. -T

@@GravityKnightFlying Thank you sir!!!

I think your right - I believe a lot of those old roads and trails were for mining. Not 100% sure, but I think some of them were for Uranium

That is an S-21, with the 180hp Titan 340. It performs great and we can't keep up with him when in cruise. The 21 doesn't have the gear to handle moderate to heavy off airport, and it won't slow down as much as my 7, 20, or S6... but overall it is a very well rounded machine, does great in the backcountry, hauls a load and has a very large flight speed envelope!

So some of these spots don't have road access (Mexican Mountain where we camped, dirty devil, happy canyon don't. But Hidden Splendor does have a road out there.... I asked someone who drove out once and they said it was an hour or 1.5hrs to a town if I remember correctly. Hanksville, Cainville, Green River are all towns in the general area - not sure which is the closest by road). Mineral Canyon (not featured in this video) has a road to it as well, and would be a neat spot to drive out to.. so check on that one as well.

Thanks! 91 pump (with ethanol). Rotax’s don’t mind ethanol, but your fuel system might… (mine is ok to use with ethanol).

If it's just me.. 25ish+ in the mountains and I'll usually pass. I've had 60mph winds in the mountains that were smooth wasn't supposed to be that strong, or would not have been up there). I've also been beat to crap with 15mph winds.. depends in so many factors. Typically where it gets exciting is when you have convective winds in the warmer parts of the year. Out on the flatter lands another 5-10mph is usually manageable. I've flown backwards a few times and it was fairly smooth... so it really depends on the type of wind. In the mountains is you really have to be cautious as it gets amplified and can be completely disgusting. Of course if I have two days to fly, and one is calmer, I'll choose that - Long turbulent days are not a ton of fun. But, it's windy here most of the time (blowing up to 90mph not far from here today actually), so I have learned to deal with it. I am a firm believer that calm seas don't make skilled sailors as they say... the question is how to no bite off more than you can chew.. that's the challenging part. Push it, and be challenged... to a point! The forecasts are usually wrong, so you will get stuck in it eventually here and need to be ready. Thanks for the question Mark -T

it is 👍

Sorry to hear that!, not sure what to say, there are no editing effects on the video outside of transitions and basic stuff along those lines.
