Nice video...I watched the whole thing! Honest!

New camera angle is approved. Carry on. :)

Good decision to land to develop a Plan B from the safety of the FBO. I thought your controller did an outstanding job describing what she saw on her screen. A full case of Get-There-Itis would have had you air file an IFR flight on a northerly heading. It probably would have worked out OK, but the pucker factor could have been high. My uncle who taught me used to say "the sun is always shining at the funeral of a pilot."

Excellent decision making Kristoffer...it's always hard to turn back when you are excited to get somewhere! Like you, I'm a big fan of traveling VFR in our type planes if thunderstorms are a factor to ensure you don't enter an embedded one. Looking forward to seeing you at Sun n Fun!

I love a controller who has my back. She did her job very well to keep everyone safe.

One of your best videos. Great discussion, ATC interaction, decision making, and yea, music!

I WAS THE STUDENT PILOT IN 84G WHEN YOU WERE DEPARTING

Looks GOOD!! Excellent Coms at 15:50! Thanks for Sharing!

Great engine overhaul vs new info, loved the music, good call to divert to CTY. I think that flight was the day I was planning to fly up North and got back to Boca after departing and seeing how bad the weather was. Can’t wait for the next episode with the Continental specialist on board.

Great video and thank you for the b-day vid requested by Megan. Made my day. Thank you, Craig

Great job of piloting! I made the wrong choice during a trip from JAX to the Atlanta area and just made it though a hole in the weather. Unfortunately that gave me the confidence to try to pick my way through some weather that closed in on me. It could have ended very badly. Never again. This is a great video because "get there itis" is a very real thing.

Love the video! I really appreciate you intentionally calling out the "get there itis"! That is such a powerful motivator that calling it what it is is important. Good on ya!

The wing mounted camera is the best.

It has put me in to some very bad situations . Nice to see common sense prevail. Excellent video and ATC was excellent.

Thanks for the ride along!!! I definitely like the new wing camera!!!! Thank you for reminding us to be SAFE RATHER THAN SORRY!!!!

Welcome back, buddy missed your videos. Good luck with the new engines.

Good luck on the new install sounds great all the best and nice to see u back cheers

Just what I need to relax before sleeping. A baron pilot video! Looking forward to your new engines

I liked seeing your ADM and you struggling against "get there itis". Well done keeping it real.

Wing mount is awesome !!

Didn't expect that to happen. Smart though. Enjoyed your describing the why/why not on Engines. GL

Super cool. New engines has to be exciting. My brother and I are taking flying lessons and he is planning to buy a Barron, so hopefully I'll be getting certificated for flying it as well. I'm glad you diverted. That's a good example of aeronautical decision making!!

Thumbs up on the wing cameras. Great video. I love all the info you give about getting new engines.

Lits of great info in this video! Answered a lot of questions for non pilot types like myself about engines. Since you're paying for new engines, I would of thought they would take a brand new one right off the shelf! I would hope so anyway. You mentioned doing a booth at Sun n Fun with Corporate Pilot Life and a few others, I was lucky enough to get to meet Shaun and Guss of CPL just last week when they flew into PDX for the afternoon and I had a fantastic time with them! Very fun to hang with and truly gracious and wonderful people! It was my lucky day and I truly enjoyed my time with them! I enjoyed your video! Congrats on your new engines, I cant wait to see how you like them.

Good to see you again. Good decision to get out of the weather and good decision on the engines. Fly safe

Good talk, Very valid points made. Our old Seneca we had a shop rebuild. It was cheaper ( not by much in the end), but by the time we got them, it might have been better to go new. However the plane was basically sold and the Navajo was ready about the same time so it worked out and if we had kept the plane, we probably would have just gone new. Though we also didn't know the rebuild was going to be such a long time either.

I like the wing mount camera.

Wing mount camera is cool. My favorite outside view is looking from cabin over the wing. Luv that view from Greg’s P1D vids.

Glad you addressed " get there itis" . There have been too many accidents caused by poor decision making, especially " get there itis".

A great flight video and vital info on the engines. 😊👍

Love the wing cam! It's always good the see the entire airplane while it is UP in it's element!!! M

You are a great mentor - I learn a bit more every video - Thank you ...

I flew down to Dog Island last Saturday with John and Steph from Fly8MA. We had a blast. They are cool people.

Hi from Canada! Hope you get your new engines asap and find them worthwhile.

Nice work by ATC -- thinking ahead, about going out over the water as well, and providing just the right information needed.

Outside camera is ok. Once in a while. Inside is more where the action is. Equipment is more important for me. Avionics with atc is great. Front view is good as well. Good luck with your engines. Expensive.

Kristoffer, thanks for letting me come aboard. And letting me hang around with you.

👍 on the new camera and great job on edit.

Great video with good aeronautical decision making. Nice work!

nice flight love it

Love the new camera angle! Nice view of a nice airplane! I also found it interesting that even instrument rated pilots divert sometimes instead of simply picking up an IFR clearance and plowing ahead. I've known that getting an instrument ticket only means you can go SOMETIMES when it's not VMC, but not always! Keep up the good work. Congratulations on getting new engines. That's exciting.

Great video (and channel) ... I am new to your channel... Always had a soft spot in my heart for Barons ... Love what you have done with your flight deck... 6 pack on the left, glass on the right!

Nice to see a 3175W video again. Looking forward to future videos with the new engines.

Very much enjoyed the video. Liked the new camera angle and good decision making. My Jodel here in the UK is continental powered so I am looking forward to that flight you were talking about with an engineer from the manufacturers. Thanks Tim

Love the wing mount Baron, great move!

Great idea to divert. Remember this newer pilots. Live another day.

Very informative. Thanks.

Glad to see you back making vids. , missed you and I think your making very good decisions ! 🤔😁

Kristoffer, Great timing on your video as my plane went into annual and didn't make it out with me having to make a engine decision. Not sure what I am going to do quite yet but I will figure it out. Nice job on the videos and thank you for all the time and effort you put into them.

Wise choice there! I'm the most impatient person on the planet (born and raised in MA, so that's not a shock, lol), so I can completely understand get-there-itis. I get it driving! Definitely have to change that mindset if I ever start flying, for sure. Those storms sounded extremely unpredictable - good ones to land for and wait out. Kudos to ATC for emphasizing that fact, and to you for listening! True statement there - engines do talk to you, no question about it. Doesn't matter what the engine is in - they're all somewhat similar in that regard (with obvious differences between 2 & 4 strokes, and diesels of course). Been around them my whole life on the diagnosis and repair side of things. The speed at which everything moves inside always fascinated me, especially after you've held the parts in your hand prior to assembly. Sometimes things can happen without warning, like a broken crank, connecting rod, spun bearing, or broken piston skirt, but that is pretty rare these days. It's pretty amazing they last as long as they do given how fast everything moves, and how hot the parts can get. Good part about the aviation piston engines is, most spin at half the RPM to reach peak power - slower speeds = less stress, which = longer life. Being able to adjust the mixture plays a big part in that, too (knowing where it should be is critical) - wish we had that ability with autos and outdoor power equipment today, but government has taken that freedom away from us, unfortunately, which shortens the engines' life substantially. I could talk engines all day long ... but anyway, GREAT video as always - your production quality has gone WAY up since I first started watching you well over a year ago (closer to 2, I think). Can't wait to see & hear the new engines, and note the performance differences! Keep up the great work, Kris!👍 👍

Cool. New engines. Exciting.

Nice view on the wing camera

wing cam is sick! very kewl

So glad we can watch this great video on the Baron Pilot channel. I would have hated to watch this footage on the Air Safety Institute's channel because you succumbed to the Getthereitis!

Port Charlotte has really changed from when I flew there back in the late 90's Tower and airline flights now... we used to land to the side of the runway to practice soft field landings ;)

Another great video Kris!!!

Thanks for the video. How's your Mom. I shared the video of her on Facebook when she flew with you and she had everyone in stiches! ✈✈✈

Another great video, lime the wing camera. Thanks to you, steveo and premier driver videos i have climbed back into the cockpit and just completed my BFR. Didnt realize how much i missed it but flying by myself again is such a thrill. Last time i flew was in a T 42 army baron with the General of Fort Monroe. Now i need to find an inexpensive headset. Cant wait to see and hear your new engines.

Like the video and the new wing mount camera.

yeppers im diggin the new wing cam!!

Congratulations on the new engines. I really like the wing camera it shows why I’ve always thought the 55 series Baron was a lot prettier than the 58s. I also appreciated the chance to watch the process leading up to your decision to divert. Too often, I think, pilots misuse their instrument rating to facilitate bad decisions to press on. Navigating through IMC is one thing but attempting to penetrate a fast moving squall line and pick your way through severe storms is clearly something else.

I like the wing mount; Also, looking forward to the video where you are talking about engine management! Thanks for the video and explanation. RAM engines are real "big" here in Texas, since they are based in KACT (Waco). Blue Skies

Good Call on the engines & WX BP plus nice landing too ';-)

Yep, make sure you know what ADs (esp older ones) are still in effect for your engine or engines on that used plane being considered for purchase. As an example new crankshafts can be $12k each, new camshafts at least 2.5 k each,, new fuel distributor 5k each. Advertised cost typically only includes expendables like bolts and bushings, cleaning, polishing, maybe sending parts out for consultation or minor refurbishment etc.

Approve wing Cam...picking up a new Gropro 7 Black this week.. happy flying neighbor...

Better safe than sorry. Love the elevation sign... 42 ft. LOL

As far as I’m concerned you made the right call on the engines, I have never been a fan of rebuilt’s for all the same reasons plus you can hold Continental to standing for there product over time on KZfaq where you have thousands of viewers, not a bad idea in my view. As to the camera view I love it and by adding a swiveling base controlled by WiFi you just might be on to something truly profound, just say’n :) Can’t wait for the next video by the way ...

Love the logo on the shirt sleeves... Very nice!!! -- KZfaq should sponsor a booth at these shows (ie. Oshkosh, Sun & Fun, etc. etc.) and let KZfaqr have a meet and greet time, even thou I have no way of attending one of these shows, but that would be a great idea....

I just did the same engine replacement last year on my Cessna 310. Easiest and fastest way to get it done.

Great new shirt - nice job. Wing mount camera nice extra. Window tint product seems to make interior comfortable. Best of all was divert decision. Sitting safely on ground always much better than wishing you were safely on ground. Side note - I'm starting panel upgrade research process. EI or JPI monitors; Avidyne or Garmin avionics. I fly a C182 steam gauge IFR certified chariot. Welcome your insight.

Nice to see you back! Always enjoy the videos. Interesting info about the engine swap but one bit of information was missing, COST! It seems like this is a taboo subject with most aviation youtubers. I don’t know if I’ll ever see it, but it would be great if someone can chronicle, not only their flying experiences, but also the costs of plane ownership. I guess the simple answer is If you are questioning it, you can’t afford it. Lol. I have a number of friends that tell me to just go ahead and pull the trigger on buying a plane. But I always get cold feet. Lol

The window covers look very effective as well as the simplified panel. Your worload appears to be far less now that things are consolidated.

Very interesting enjoyed the video

Good decision to wait out that storm. I've found that ones that build that fast tend to have teeth!

Beautiful airplane

Wing camera 👍👍👍

Boron Pilot the man. love this

Another great video man. I just knew you would opt for a pair of 500 shp P&W PT6A-21 turbine engines with fully reversible, four-bladed Hartzell props. :)

New camera mount is cool. I agree, new power plants from the manufacturer is the way to go. May I ask what is the price of two new engines for your Baron? Thanks for the video. Looking forward to upcoming videos with the new engines!

Great ADM 👍

Good deeds 🙋

As the old saying goes, " There are old pilots but not bold pilots"! Look at it as just another inconvenience in life! I think you made a wise decision by having Continental do the work rather than using a shop. I like the wing mount camera. It provides a different perspective for the viewer. I guess your next video will be to your destination. Good Luck!

Smart move. Storms are not my kind of fun! You got good time on those engines. I guess you couldn't complain. Now you can fix that split mixture levers. LOL

Great new look through that new camera. If you get a chance watch Trent Palmer's new video with a new 360 camera out on the wing you can see the whole plane it is amazing. Probably only good for experimental planes.

Must be nice to have the money to change both engines together. Most owners spread them out a while, either for cash flow considerations or just to give each engine a break-in period.

Good deal, Mo-Power-Mo-Speed!!!

Great video! I liked how you mixed the music and other sound like getting the full ATC ground clearance concurrent with fast mo taxi. How do you manage the battery life in the cameras?

The easiest way to tell if your engines are getting clapped out is looking at the fresh hot idle oil pressure. When you see a significant drop you can almost be certain your bearing clearances are opening up. Obviously there are more invasive testing but that alone can tell you it's time to look harder.

Great video! I agree with always quoting engines from the manufacturer, but also familiarize yourself with other options. For example, in the Twin Cessna world, RAM engines are the gold standard. A new or overhauled Continental engine from RAM is without a doubt better than an engine from Continental.

Great ADM, amazing how that line filled in, scary stuff! Are you getting new engines or remanufactured?

Wing mount is super

Love the new camera mount! Are you KZfaq guys planning a booth at Oshkosh, also?

like the camera good job

Ever consider an AXP322 remote transponder? I've done a few Adidyne IFD suites, and I very often recommend using the AXP322

Could you make a circle around the race track very close to the airport at Punta Gorda!

This was one of your best videos; excellent discussion and decision-making. Please bear in mind with the TCM rep ride-along that they have a vested interest in selling you engines and parts. The recommendations they have are for their benefit, not yours. I agree that FRM is usually a good deal, and that TCM may have given you some consideration to have this discussion, but they simply cannot be trusted to provide information counter to their business interests. New cam is fine, good for when it's bumpy, but pretty boring in smooth cruise.

muito bom amigo, seus vídeos são incríveis, gosto bastante das explicações e procedimentos em voo, e quando for fazer uma manutenção de rotina em sua aeronave faça um vídeo se possivel ok (fica a dica!!!) abraço e sucesso!!!

"TBO"? The wing mount allows me to see the changes in the background - cloud layers, ground appearance changes - kinda cool. Didn't you at one time, have a belly mount that you used from time-to-time? I always thought that was a fun view. Thanks for all of the engine info. I never knew there was so much to take into consideration regarding this subject. And thanks for sharing your videos with all of us. The offer for coffee is still open the next time you have some time when you are in my area. I might be down in your neck of the woods sometime this year as the wife & shop for an RV (van-style.) There are a few in Florida we are considering.

Will be interested to learn what continental says about how to operate and manage the engine. I’m not that far from an overhaul on our Baron.

Love the shirt! Also I might have missed it but can you post a photo on a future video of the camera mount?
