One of my FAVORITE videos you have done...all kinds of details and fantastic camera work/editing!!! Showing the full capabilities of the aircraft is great!

That was great Tom! It’s wonderful seeing you out flying and thanks for sharing.

Thanks for taking us along Tom! Very informative!

You answered some questions I had about the bushcat with this video. I think I very much need to schedule a demo flight. Thank you for all your hard work with these videos Tom.

I cannot help thinking of an NTSB report about a talking duck 😂

Thank you Tom. Very informative and so well done. Yep, need to consider getting a Bushcat.

CFI here, great job nailing that landing right on center line! Superb airmanship!

This is a great video! Looking for my first airplane. Love the idea of this one.

Thanks for sharing. looks like a very nice plane. I definitely enjoyed being at deltas more than golfs

Thanks Tom that was really informative!

Very nice , thanks for the intro to the Bushcat

great video Tom!

I am glad you are feeling better, Tom.

Very intrigued by the BushCat as a fun flyer. Definitely need to learn more about it.

I really enjoyed the flight. The music accent at landing was a perfect editing touch!

Love it. Very nice airplane. Great video as well!

BushCat needs to put Tom on the payroll - great salesman! Cheers from the Mississippi Delta

Wow, great video. Just awesome!!!

Our family just discovered your channel today and we can’t stop watching these outstanding videos! Your channel should have a million subs.

Another great video!

Great video! I’ve decided that the Bush Cat is the plane for me! Keep the videos coming

Bahaha the music score and intro likes he's Maverick flying a F-18

Lucky lucky man ... thanks for sharing

BushCat Tom does the BEST Videos !!!! I got to have you show me how to get the inflight audio that is cool. Oh and he is a pretty good pilot too, of course the BushCat makes even me look like a good pilot. Waiting for Spring signed BushCat Darrell

Very nice plane, very nice video!!

I was about to take the Bushcat off my demo list. Someone else claimed it was “not as rugged” as other popular options. But this video made me out it right back on the list. It looks comfortable and fun to fly.

Excellent. Thanks!

Remarkable plane. I particularly like the Rotax and I think you nailed it on the colors! What are your impressions after the first year? What expectations were exceeded and what fell short? Thoughts on the “fabric” covering and the sturdiness of the airframe and do you need to check the nuts and bolts occasionally to ensure airframe soundness? Are there any improvements since your purchase or upgrades you might recommend in hindsight? How many hours did you put on in your first year? It is a slow plane but do you do any x-country trips? Keep up the informative and entertaining videos and say hi to Bob. Are you planning your next plane yet?

Freakin awesome thank you very much!!!

Thank you Tom!

Nice video!

Wow, looks like fun...🙂👍

Thanks, enjoyed with you.

That is true that unless I am doing long cross country ( which I rarely do ) I hardly ever use the autopilot in my plane - I love to fly the plane myself. Still the autopilot is an important safety device which can be life saving in case of VFR into IMC or similar accident ...so for me it was must-have, similar to BRS.

Me ok it’s time to get a full 8 hours of sleep Me at 3 am: ah yes let’s learn how to fly a plane

I really appreciated the annotation data on the screen. Some questions: 1. With experience flying the 912 ULS now, what do you plan for actual fuel consumption? 2. What portable tie down & chocking do you carry? 3. Tools? 4. How about a detailed walk-thru of the Kanardia? I was hoping for more. Could be some good vids in there somewhere.

Did you look at the Aerotrek, or Aeroprakt or Kitfox aircraft before making the choice of the Bushcat? If so, what was your deciding factor? Great video and safe flying!

Take Bob to the Brat Stop. He is hungry.

Love it!!!

Hey Tom, are you a CFI? The reason I ask is that I was a rotorwing instructor in the Army flying Apaches, and am planning to buy a bushcat/ get my FW rating and it would be really helpful if you did some flights with more MOI (Method Of Instruction) to share exactly what you're doing with your cross-check/flight controls during each phase of your manuevers. Love your laid-back, relaxed approach to narrating your flights - if you haven't gotten your CFI you should, you're a natural👍😎

Would love to hear your specific description of how to handle a stiff crosswind to the ground - seems like scariest part of flying LSAs for new pilots? Great video - thanks!

Can you do a video on how you plan your flights and where you go. I'd love to fly around your area. What's a good scenic flight

Air hike ( Luft wandern ) Nice !!!

You must be the only guy on KZfaq who gets as many comments as you get views.

Great video, question for you, on your rear camera is appears the tail is shaking side to side, or is that just the camera doing that? I know I've seen my camera show video that looks like its wobbling if there is some vibration then clears up when the vibration goes away, could be what I am seeing in yours? thanks

Great video,you explain it very well.what's the cost on that plane. Thanks for the video

Very very nice

Like the videos, Would you do anything different about your instrument panel after using it now?

Just rewatched and still a great video. Where do you get your music for your videos?

Excellent video, and a lot of fun to watch. Would the twitchy aircraft that you mentioned happen to have been a CTLS? I have a few hours on one of those and found it difficult to be smooth. Been considering going to Galt to take lessons on the Bushcat there.

Great and informative video per sop. You have answered some questions that i had. First, the heavy control feel. Like you, i would much rather have that solid feeling. Makes for a much more professional ride. Item 2 was the heating. I hate cold! I was considering just aircraft s line up but when i saw there is no seal between inside the cockpit and the frigid outside air, this was a deal breaker. Now, granted it was cold, and i understand the need to save all the heat for the engine but, was somewhat disappointed that your breath was still visible with the cabin heat on. Is there a way to block some of the cooling air to the engine to produce more heat or is there a heater upgrade available. I am one of those lucky but rare spouses who has a wife constantly nagging, " when are you ordering your bushcat"? I would hate for her to be disappointed to be wearing a snowmobile suit to go flying. Anyway, thanks for another great video! I will be visiting the knolls presently. Btw, am I out of line to ask what is your profession? Wife and i are having bets on who gets it right! That's what life is like with 2 typa A personalities living under one roof. Thank you again

Ace vid again, although that breath looks beyond cold!

Great!!!

Bravo.thenks

Great video, informative & entertaining! I just found your channel as well as just finding out about the BushCat. It reminds me in many ways of the C42 Ikarus ultralight - from the general shape right down to the flap mechanism & central stick. Seems the flying characteristics are similar too - docile and forgiving yet quite sporty? As a South African I was already interested in this aircraft and now I've come across your channel I'm definitely dreaming of owning one!

Good morning from Utah Bushcat Tom! We’re considering building a Bushcat this fall/winter. We currently own a Cessna 150, how would you compare flight handling characteristics between the 150 and the Bushcat?

Tom, Does the manufacturer talk about life span on the fabric? Like you, I always store my plane inside (composite) to keep it in good shape. I’m guessing that fabric is very rugged!

Wonderful pictures! Wish there was a Bush Cat distributor in Norway, so that I could look at one before ordering one.. Scary thought to order without even trying to sit in one and see if I fit.. I’m 6’4 ( 194 cm ) and can’t fit in my club’s plane..

Been watching your latest at least once a day. Q. since you have the top of the line Kanardia units, what is the use case for the iPad mini?

Thank you ( Danke ) !

I'm full of questions. How are you getting ADS-B IN? What is the instrument on top, above the trig units?

Yeah me!

Is ADS B -in and out included in the instrument package ?

“If you haven’t gotten one yet, you need to order one.” Speaking of which, our Bushcat just arrived at the Port of Baltimore Saturday. I’m so excited. We’re taking a few weeks off from Margaritaville Nord in Feb & headed down to Florida. While we’re down there I’ll fly with Aerosport South @ DeLand, to get my Bushcat checkout for insurance & pick up a fresh BFR. I’m still trying to figure out what I want to do about the Kanardia set-up. I really like your twin Nesis set-up. But since I’ve already got an Sentry ADS-B in receiver, I’m thinking I might mount a big screen iPad running ForeFlight on the right side. Then I could save a bit of cheddar by mounting the Aetos w/integrated engine unit left. That way I can plan on the iPad & keep the ForeFlight charts updated at home. Then on XCs I can just enter the next waypoint into the Aetos as each leg completes. Of course a full Trig stack with mode S & ads-b out. At MT Vernon I was so excited about the planes that I didn’t spend as much time as I now wish with the Kanardia displays. Anyway, great vid my friend. I hope you do more of the Bushcat how-tos. Best, Rick

If your plane was not certified and was an experimental, would you be able to land at that airport? Beautiful flight, love the play by play.

How tall is Tom? Curious for size fittable in the plane

Tower gave you wind 280/4 and cleared you to land on 25. Not much x-wind. Is there a crosswind factor given for the Bushcat? Just wondering how such a light plane really handles in bigger winds.

Checking in dude are you ok? Havent seen any vids in a long time

What a beautiful day for a flight. Is envy a bad thing?

What is the yearly cost to own this aircraft?

What's your technique for crabbing into the wind?

which state is this?

I keep trying to catch what you have in your panel but camera always moves to quick and not zoomed in enough.

I really wish there was a 3 or 4 seat version

Explain the heating system ?

Its been a long time since I talked to you, It was right after you hurt you back. Are you all healed up?

Why can't/ don't you turn on the heat?

What's the white arc?
