FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.

Morning Flightchops , just an other back to back viewer having watched Steveo and your video. Thanks for your great production skills. Totally love all your work and how you make sure others get something out of what you are doing this time your wife and last week Paul. Your professional attitude towards flying shines through every week.

I can only add onto Greg's perceptive review my agreement and say he hit the salient points. I've not been up in over a decade and these videos of yours do put a smile on my face. You used an acronym for something one of the planes had that I didn't understand. Was it the rod rigging? or ailerons? The majority of my time was in a Piper Tomahawk. It occurred to me that there will be a lot of planes for you to fly.

I always loved flying with an instructor. It's fun flying with someone that understands aviation. Those flights usually have great converations. Most of my passengers have no idea what's going on but generally have giant smiles. Even if I get to play the game of "100 of the exact same questions" everytime I have a new passenger, it's totally worth it. Fire away with the questions

I soloed at 16 and have been flying ever since 1968 and never soloed a taildragger. It's in the top 3 in my bucket list to get a conventional gear rating. I'd love to fly a Carbon Cub. I know the guy who taught Harrison Ford in N.J. His flight school is a half hour flight from home base and I haven't taken advantage of this yet. After watching these videos by FlightChops it's time.

I think when I can I would like the X Cub. I have limited time in a taildragger, I have never flown a Cub before just the Aeronca Champ. and the Decathlon. I love the tandem seating because I like to see equally out of both sides of the airplane. After watching this video on the Cubcrafters and the little research I have done on them. I think the capabilities of the X cub is right what I want, but I would be happy with any of them. Thanks for this one.

I flew a Challenger ultralight in 35-40mph winds...basically lifted off the ground with no ground roll and required a tremendous amount of flaperon input. Landing safely in those conditions required a little head speed. So normal approach is 45ish and on this one I maintained about 65-70 until I crossed the numbers. Taxing was the tricky part !

Flight Chops. GoPros are good but you might consider using a dash cam where there is protection from weather. I use one all the time for road surveying, often mounted on a selfie stick and using on rough roads sitting on the back of a motorbike. The suction works fine too if you have a handy smooth surface. It will run all day (or more actually) on a medium sized power pack before a recharge is necessary and a 64 Gbyte card will run all day too. The mike is good enough. I find it much more useful than the GoPro as the GPS coords and time are logged continuously on the output files making synchronisation with other things such as waypoints logged in the field easy as all times are GPS locked. And of course - Thanks for the videos. Always informative and interesting even to a non-pilot like myself. Keep 'em comin'

+James Adams - haha, well, my technique is when airspeed is low, I put in ALL the cross wind correction (like for taxi, etc) then as speed increases I reduce it when I feel the plane start to get light. Opposite for landing; I slowly increase the amount of crosswind control input as the airspeed reduces on the roll out as the weight moves to the wheels.
