agreed!!

Thank you my friend!!! me too!!

agreed, thanks william!

thanks Trent!

thanks tree!

thanks brother

thank you 👍

glad to hear that man!!!!

he sure has been a lot of places with that 19!

thanks Jim!

thanks Peter!

Apples and oranges. Different content, both excellent. Enjoy the difference.

very kind!, Trent does excellent work.. Trent also was more so one of the first guys in the aviation community to really put effort into vlog style videos. I don't know how he managed to capture so many people outside of the aviation community but he did... he's definitely better at marketing himself than I am myself. thx jeffro

@@GravityKnightFlying I wasn't really putting trent down, but the google algorithms do favor the connected and those that carry the correct narrative.

@@gyrojeffro2263 you are not wrong from what I've seen.....

glad to... thank you!!!

agreed! first for me. those big sandbars were sure hard to not go land on..... wish it was legal, amazing spot. i think I'll be back up there to film some more of that at some point...

thanks my friend! I may do that.. only of the big 4 I have not done yet 😉

@@GravityKnightFlying A challenge for sure, but for a safe pilot like yourself a few high level scopes, and in... Looks like a really great camping spot too! ; )

Right on!!!! what will you be training in?

I think it’s a Cessna 162. I’ve read that I will need additional training to land a tail dragger. Found a few older Kifox’s thus far.!!

ouch!! heal up!!!

I like it better. It runs as smooth or smoother in normal flight, although when you slip it or do something to mis-align the prop from the oncoming air, you then feel the "pulsyness" of only having 2 blades. It also has that NR whine or hum at around 5400ish engine rpm that is kind of interesting. Sounds way better from the ground from what I can tell. Impressively lightweight. Good mix of pull and cruise with the 2 blade. A bit longer would be even better. 3 blades do pull quite a bit harder from what I'm told... but I'm sure cruise would take a hit.

Seriously, home video shaky cam throughout. Has no clue. 10 year olds make better quality

not a bad idea, might be able to rig that up on the inside cam, which would be good to have.. the outside ones go in special cases so doubt there is any way to prevent it on those...

Somehow I've missed stopping there 4 years now... it has been on my list.. definitely will do, thank you Steve!

thanks! couple of dji osmo action cams outside, gopro 9 inside.. handheld is panasonic x1500 and iphone 12promax.

If you were getting 500 out of these strips it would be fine for most of them, but a lot of factors there (climb angle, turn radius required etc.). What are you flying? Johnson creek is 5000ft high. Many of the others are around that, some are lower. There are a few that are higher in the 7k range up there, but Wilson Bar for example is 2300ish. So they vary. Density altitudes can be pretty high at times, like in this video it was unusually hot up there.

@@GravityKnightFlying thanks for replying it’s all very interesting. It would be awhile before I would get out there. You will laugh but I fly a Pietenpol two seater with a 100 hp corvair engine at 0 to 1000 ft MSL I might get 600 ft per min or a little more It does pretty good at 3000 but I would have to do some experiments first if where talking 5 to 7000 plus density .’ I might need a bigger engine what do you think ? Thanks 👍

@@onthemoney7237 You have the right idea about doing plenty of testing beforehand. Load it up heavy on a hot day and see what you get at high DA in a safe environment. What does the plane weigh empty? Time of day can make a huge difference in a situation like that (temperature). Keeping it as light as possible when in the mountains is big. Letting the wind help you etc. Hot afternoon in the mountains with a tail wind could be disastrous. A lot of those strips up there could be scary with a low climb rate, but some of them are lower like Moose Creek for example. If you took off on a cool morning, it would be a whole different situation than coming out of Johnson creek with a tail wind in the afternoon. Stuff like that. But I would stack the deck against yourself on a safe runway and do a little testing if you can and see what you have. More HP is always better, unless it comes at the cost of a lot of extra weight. Keeping them light goes a long ways too. But you can work around being a little underpowered with utilizing the conditions. I spent a lot of effort and money to have enough power to claw through about anything at any altitude, but it was quite expensive and involved to do so.

@@GravityKnightFlying 830 lbs empty 1320 max thank you check the wind that makes good sense a lot to know out there

97 in the shade.. not bad at night - cooled down enough. mornings good till about 11 ish...

If you consider visiting a couple strips in a day, while stopping, hiking the area, having lunch and spending time “bagging” … your a cry baby. PS, your welcome for the out of state money

@@GravityKnightFlying Never asked for your out of state money. Idaho is not an “Airborne Off-road Park”. Thanks for nothing.

@@billhalbert7955 thankfully people like you don't get to dictate whether someone from out of state is allow to visit the backcountry of Idaho. again, if you think I bag strips, you didn't watch the video. if you are mad that I have shown others how beautiful the backcountry of idaho is - many of which will never get the chance to fly there and enjoy it in person... it's a little late to worry about letting the secret out. everyone has seen it all, all over social media, for years.. thanks for the ignorant comments, and negativity... hope you find happiness someday
