@@KitplaneEnthusiast Well, NOW we know where you've been! My buddy used to HATE the annuals- 3 weeks in hot, sweaty TX with too many other pilots to get into trouble with. It's like hard work & a spousal hall pass at the same time. Too much fun & too much hard work at the same time. As he got older, it got harder- he finally had to pass on the nights.... Ahhhhh, the joys of middle age!!! But, acing the re-ups are much easier! I just re-read my 'post' and it was meant to be funny, but- could've been mis-read as mean. You definitely seem to get the true intent but apparently my jealousy over your current situation: garage hanger with 3 Awesome planes, runway in the cul-de-sac and difficult (in so many ways) job of pilot just sort of seeps through. But, the offset is the gratitude that you share your passion via KZfaq with us. I'll keep recommending your channel, and soon we'll have all of the other subs from: Trent, MoJo Mike, Dan J. & those pesky (but talented) Flying Cowboys... You'll be getting your Gold YT plaque & thinking about only making content, selling stickers & flying! Idea: Make a video where someone can win a flight with you in their choice of plane. It'll motivate you to completion on one (focus), get more interaction with your subscribers- I'm not a 'joiner' but- even I would do it! I've been dying to get up to Canada and help Steve with his RV-14 build, and, I think a ton of others have either gone up to help, or are planning a trip to do it when he's working on it! Very interactive, while he completes his IFR rating.... Can never say Thank You enough, but, Thank You! for all of your hard work including editting. People think that these videos are simple- not so easy to maintain flow without have cuts, light changes, etc.... Thank You!

Thanks Timothy. I’m retired Air Force Egress. F-16 and A-10.

@@KitplaneEnthusiast by any chance do you have Instagram

Could develop into AIDS- Aviation Induced Divorce Syndrome. Gotta love the classic Mooney.

Hi Corban, I don't have any other footage of buffing the Mooney other than what's in this video, but are you referring to the video when I go through the whole process of sanding, buffing, and polishing? I've moved a few videos to my new KZfaq channel called "Kitplane Adventures" but I haven't told anyone about the new channel yet. If you want to see that video here is the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/odeSf5le26m0mJ8.html Make sure you subscribe to the new channel! I'll be promoting it soon with a whole series of videos on getting my Cruzer certified and ready for the first flight!

Kitplane Enthusiast, that’s exactly what I was speaking of. I have a Mooney as well. The paint job definitely needs some love. Do ya have a handle on MooneySpace at all. Thanks for the link. Stay up!

No, but everything I do is done with a buddy who is an A&P IA. I do the work, he inspects and signs it off.

Yes I am, but I don't post much on there. Lot's of good people on that forum!

@@KitplaneEnthusiast love your videos i liked the comment so true..... I'm the first one to poke fun i was a pilot before i was a mechanic.so I've developed some thick skin over the years....are you flying into Oshkosh? you better make a video if you do... i'm going to try it next year in my m20f. It got some storm damage on it a few weeks ago so its down for the rest of the summer.

@@KitplaneEnthusiast - Golf swing got so good that Tiger's been coming to me for lessons. Have decided that becoming a KZfaq influencer is my new path. BTW-might want to consider marketing the #davemustbesoproud tee shirts. Instant best seller. You can thank me now! See you in 2 weeks
