My STEC 3100 upgrade and avionics updates are finally complete! Great news is they work WAY BETTER than I thought possible. My buddy John (with the Cessna 340) came on the test flight with me and as ya'll can tell...he really approved of how it turned out. 1BC is finally ready for our west coast trip!! :)

@johnbecker1996 2 жыл бұрын

Nice information on the updates, and the electronic checklists look like they'll be handy! I'm sure John doesn't realize it, but he's developed a bad habit of not repeating back the runway number when talking with ATC or tower. When switching to tower, he'll say, "771BC on the RNAV", when he gets landing clearance, "1BC cleared to land". This may seem a little bit pedantic, but being explicit eliminates confusion and misunderstandings.

Hey Kevin thanks for the video. Feeding the 1bc habit was kind of you. My best to you, Jamie, kid's and family. I've decided you guys are awaiting delivery of your new Diamond DA62. You needed to upgrade hangers to accomadate the longer wing span. Hey, a guy can hope, right?

@GaryMCurran 2 жыл бұрын

The DA-62 would be an awesome plane for Kevin and family, or, if he didn't mind single engine, the new DA-50. Personally, I'd prefer the DA-62, just for the redundancy of the second engine. Plus, the fuel burn at cruise would probably be less than half of what 1BC gave him for almost the same speed. If I was flying again, and had the money, a -42 or -62 would be in my hanger.

First off... Kevin & Jamie, thanks for all the cool videos. They'll be missed if you don't come back at some point. Now for the rant... Some of you commenters are real beauties. I don't know exactly what is going on with them. However, I tend to think Kevin & Jamie have real lives with real jobs. Jobs that now require a bigger commitment. Jobs that pay the bills. Their flying vids are a side hustle. How many cameras is Kevin running? Have YOU tried processing all of that video and tried to put it together? Do you really think he's getting rich doing all that work? What do you think his hourly take is? Like not nearly anything close to his real job. Contrary to what your self-absorbed thoughts are telling you, they own you nothing. Get over yourselves!

@davidfrench5407 2 жыл бұрын

Agreed. They owe us nothing, honestly, since we're not paying them. I love the channel, hate that they sold the 310, but their ATC workload has increased, and they seem to have a plan (think he said they can retire in 5-10 years). When that happens, I bet they move south, buy something awesome, then resume videos. Heck, he may keep active a little on here, flying with John in his 340 when time permits.

They don't have time to fly currently and makes no sense to pay for a hanger and airplane just to keep it in storage. Personal life. Well, that's their business to share or not. Apparently they are not sharing as if it's any of our business anyway. I guess when you put yourself out their publically people expect more. I would never do it but they did choose to do so. And they choose not to share more than a short "goodbye for now" video. That's all I have.
