I’m dead serious when I say that this might be the best piece of general aviation filmography ever put out to the public. It absolutely captures what GA stands for and really shows the sense of community between all of us pilots. I loved every second of this and if anything it reaffirmed my love of backcountry and commercial aviation. Looks like I picked the right lifestyle!

I think Mr. Patey knows he's bringing a machine gun to a pistol match. Haha

Got to say, I didn't. Fantastic and glad to have seen it here on Trent Palmer's channel. Thank You for the journey. Have to add this. . . . the Freedom Fox looks OUT~FRIGGEN~REAL with her up-grade. Love the hell out of her nose and prop. Beautiful job on the build to the whole team. Three thumbs up to all.

Trent sure turned lemons into lemonaide this year... trashed airplane to certified CubKiller Extraordinaire! My goal for next year is to attend High Sierra 2019 in my brand new bush / STOL / backcountry airplane... which will look unlike any other airplane I saw on any of the High Sierra Fly In 2018 videos. The videos you FlyingCowboys and friends are posting this year are so great, I predict twice as many people attend next year.

And this race, I had to remind myself to breath when you raced Mark P, BOTH TIMES, holy cow what a great time, and then to race Draco. Man that was fun. It was also great to see you wife. I laughed so hard when she was screaming on that takeoff. Roller coster ride!!!!!!! Thanks Trent, you are a true inspiration. Keep up the great work.

Thanks to the complete Flying Cowboys team who inspires many us to keep pushing on ourselves to accomplish our goals related to aviation and for making this event possible to keep aviation FUN. In my very personal case, watching this videos where there's people doing what they love and enjoying it while being surrounded by their best friends and families makes me say: "Hey! I want to fly there with my little boy and enjoy my weekend with this guys!!". This is exactly what I want to transmit to him. Do what you love to do and share it with those who you love. Working on my PPL so hopefully we can be there soon. I wonder what's the motivation for Trent and the rest of the team.....

AWESOME job Trent! CONGRATS! 👍👍 🍻🤘🤘 Was like watching a football game - I was all tensed up watching your tail wheel like a hawk, waiting for it to drop! One of these days I'm going to have to make the trek across the country to come watch this event in person. Looks like a blast! Thanks for sharing - I'd have never known of it otherwise.

SO friggin cool. DRACO JUST SCREWS MAH GAWD. But Trent man, I've been following you for a while and you guys are what's going to push me into general aviation. The #freedomfox came out spectacular this has been an awesome story to follow. I wish the best for you this winter and can't wait to see the next adventure you go on. Hope to make it to one of these events someday and meet you in person!

Loved the comment “ So that’s what 4times the horsepower looks like”. Great job getting the mods done and finishing second. Loved the rematch that was so cool, been loving your videos since I found your channel a few months ago hopefully someday I can make it out there. Can’t wait till the next video, stay safe and have fun.

Believe it or not. A company has made a turbine that can fit in light sport aircraft it's called the PBS TP100. And it was tested in a Rans RV10. Pushes out 250 horsepower. Your thoughts Trent?

An amazing project and that Rotax 915 IS seems to be everything that it was alledged to be. I have one question, How is a Custom Wilga with over 700HP racing with other aircraft that has 1/5th the power it has?
@realulli
@realulli 5 жыл бұрын
It also has three times the weight. Without that prop beta mode, that race would have been *much* closer, IMHO. I wonder if there is a prop that can do beta for the Kitfox... :-)

Great photography, especially the drone work! I don't know how you flew the plane and drone at the same time, and you still nearly beat Mike Patey, but that was amazing. I was cheering and laughing as I sat in front of my screen alone. Inspirational!! You deserve to hold those awards and boast of being a very close second place winner.

Trent, that looked like an absolute blast, my friend. I must tell you, you and your channel have reignited my fire to learn how to fly. Getting ready to relocate from Silicon Valley, to Billings Montana, and after I get settled, it's time to go to school, to learn to fly! Thanks for giving this old guy the spark! Gman!
