I think a single video is a better format especially if both videos are published at the same exact time. Beautiful plane, great video. Dana sounds like a chill dude. Whens the merch store coming? I want an official Skywagon plaid shirt.

I’d like to see the TAS at say 16,000. I wish you did performance runs on the airplanes you review

Mark, great videos! I really like the two video format.

@JMGlider 11 ай бұрын

Two or one video is fine for me both. If you continue the two video format, I'd love to see a more cruise performance/handling part in the flying video. Great content as always, greetings from a 206 pilot in Belgium!

This! I always hunger for more flying in almost all of your videos Mark, because around the pattern doesn't tell enough of the story. For most of these great planes you talk about, a run around the patch doesn't show what they are built for. I do respect that these are other people's airplanes, however.

Watched both video's , awesome details - Thanks Mark / in the late 1960s- 68-69 maybe - my Father sold his 182 * that was under powered- lousy radio's / badly faded paint & wanted a Mooney badly / however he let the family vote on it - as little kids we couldn't see well because of the low wings , ended up with another 182 - had a 200 hp Franklin engine - pitch prop nice paint -we all loved it - but my favorite plane to fly on Flight Simulator is the Mooney !

Nice. I had a 1989 based in Texas and easily handled east and west coast travel. Fast, relatively comfortable, and pretty much bulletproof. Served me well. Don’t know how new avgas will work though. No longer flying.

I own a '69C and love it. It will make mid to high 140kt TAS on between 10 and 11 gph. It's had mods to cleanup the airframe and it will actually make book numbers. Just went into annual yesterday.

@aorton7829 11 ай бұрын

Single video seems better to me. But if you’re going to separate them, maybe you can have the flight be a little more than a lap around the pattern.

Yes, like the two part format. Works for me! The order in which you publish them will have some effect on the number of views.

@swbarr 10 ай бұрын

I have no preference between the one or two part video. I'll watch them both. One comment, if you decide to keep the separate video format, it might be interesting to see some more flying content than just the pattern. Maybe MCA, stall break, Vx, Vy, etc.

@skywagonuniversity5023 10 ай бұрын

I fly them as much as I am allowed by owners/insurance etc.

@SuperGolfguy 10 ай бұрын

Single is good, but 2 videos is better if the flight includes a performance run showing power settings and fuel burn for high speed cruise…great work! Love your vids either way 😊

@skywagonuniversity5023 10 ай бұрын

I'll do one if it is a short flight and two if I am able to do a longer flight. The flight is up to the owner of the plane.

Mark i sure you do a video on that Skycatcher you have listed. I Purchased one in 2015. Only had 94 hours on it then when I sold it in 2021 I had 850 hours on it. Loved that little plane. Although they are a little floaty in ground effect they are great little run around planes. Super efficient on fuel and pretty sporty, I’ll call it the SS super sport version of the Cessna 152, at 172 speeds. They got a bad rap from being assembled in China but 90% of the crap we have is assembled in China.

@skywagonuniversity5023 11 ай бұрын

Excellent timing. We just did the Skycatcher. I was VERY pleasantly surprised with how nice it was in every way. It's be out a day or so.

@@skywagonuniversity5023 Perfect. Can’t wait I was actually going to come in a few months ago if you ever get a “fly catcher” in be sure and take it for a spin. The only complaint I had was the airflow inside. Those little Wentz have the air flow of a McDonald’s straw.!! I took it to Conroe Texas, which is about an hour south of me and head twisties put in the side windows

@musoseven8218 11 ай бұрын

Stunning aeroplane, such a fast, long legged single engine machine 👍✌️💜 Thanks for sharing. If doing a go around, would one have retracted the speed brakes after the second stage of flaps, or if one goes to take off flap setting (after Eg 2-3 stages) are the speed brakes linked and thus retract for a go around 🤔🤔

@skywagonuniversity5023 11 ай бұрын

Speed brakes are totally manual. It would go around with them out of you had to but retracting them as it lands is the best idea if you used them at all.

I figured mooney just likes 80mph (70kts) when crossing the threshold. Any other number it won't land beautiful. Too fast, it floats, too slow, it slaps on the ground
