Just a local trial run to check one camera setup. And a review of the flight characteristics so far. Still baby stepping my way into the capabilities of this airplane.

I don't know why I'm just seeing this video. Definitely one of the best I've seen, beautiful scenery no annoying music. At the beginning you can actually hear how you used your power management to do those excellent landings 👍😂

Love your videos flying C185 and now this Carbon Cub! I was always interested if you could talk little bit about comparing and "living" with these two different beasts. How much safety margin Carbon Cub adds to flying remote Idaho strips (slow approach speed, shorter landing distance, ... )? Etc..

@klpilot 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you. As far as safety margin goes the CC is night and day easier. What is marginal for a 185 is a non issue in the CC. Of course they are still very tricky and challenging spots, but you have so much less energy on landing and so much less takeoff roll the carbon cub. It is in a different league. However… the 185 can do 150knots getting there. But frankly that’s not a really factor for this type of flying. Cub also has much better manors landing and taking off.

Beautiful bird. Good job on the build. I just bought an new EX 3 in November and have 30 hrs total in the plane. It’s my first trail dragger so I am a newbie. I’m in TX so I don’t quite get the amazing scenery you have but I am headed to the mountains this summer. I will be watching your videos! I am struggling with GoPro mounts. Not the easiest plane to mount them on the exterior. Keep up the good work.

Boy what a nice job you did on your Carbon Cub. Big difference getting in and out of some of your favorite spots in ID I bet! Viewing your 185 videos, there is no detectable prop motion when you are in cruise. Can I ask what filter you use with your GoPro to get such clean videos through your prop? Happy Flying!

Thanks Steve. I use the Nflight prop filter out on the wing and the in cockpit one is just the hero 8 by itself 🤷‍♂️

I envy you. Living in a country where off Airport landings are forbidden, those planes make no sense really. I wouldn't get one anyway, I also fly Helicopters and those are even better at this 😊 but it would be really great to be able to land them on a friends property. We are to densely populated 😢 Still it itches from time to time, there are those short grass strips...😇

@klpilot Жыл бұрын

Of your three choices: If it’s by myself a cub. Specifically the lightest cub I can find… carbon cub is the 😎. If I have family, or need to put it to work a Skywagon. Every pilots mission is different but those would be my choices.
