What did you do with a ground wire

Good flying, but one tidbit: NEVER wrap any fingers that you care to have after the hand-prop around the prop. If the engine backfires or decides to fire in the wrong direction, suddenly about 150HP is held back by mere flesh and bones - and the prop *will* win. Just ask any old timers. To avoid losing precious digits, you should instead roll your fingerpads against the front of the prop and step back as you pass through TDC. Let inertia and the magnetos do the rest.

I flew that plane to Oshkosh in 2015. We got the Lindy award.

Cool flying man. You and I are pretty much at the same level. Been flying for 12 years and can’t seem to reach the “next level”. It’s damn hard to really get good at this.

Always did like super cub!!

Hey, lucky guy. Enjoy your girl and your airplane as well. Congrats.

What fbl controller?

Good stuff! Happy late anniversary you two!

Just found you tonight---live in Gainesville so looks like you're a neighbor! Loved the two videos I had a chance to watch. Keep 'em coming!

That is the most Awesome picture...

Awesome video, I love your videos

I like your "170C"! This was very helpful in diagnosing a potential issue on a 170B fuel tank. Thank you!

Get a volt meter from hobby shop come on they are a few dollars

Cutting the paint around the screw head (small sharp blade) can minimize the damage to your nice paint job. Nice video, I'll look for your reinstall video.

if my memory is correct the ESC align is a "hobbywing" with Align rename, you should have the "elf gov mod". with your transmitter make a flat curve of throttle like 60-80% "Idle 1 or 2". When you plug your lipo be sure to activate the throttle cut. after the initialization when you are ready to take off , push the idle 1 "on" and push "off" the throttle cut to start the engine. with that the elf gov should regulate your RPM base on the "%" of the throttle curve that you have setup in your Idle. when you push the throttle cut on & off you should be good. I miss my T-rex700, it was a good Heli. Sadly it's to hard for me to find spare part in France now. Lack of reseller. If you have the opportunity to test a SAB Raw 700 , it's more modern and robust heli today. way easier to repair than the Align. keep flying ! bye

Are you able to replace the battery with removing the cowl?

I think I saw a luggage door on the 172 straight tail. I need one bad on mine. Any information on who did it? The stc? That sort of thing? Enjoyed your video. Thx for sharing

Thats a very cool find.

Tons of learning and lots of fun watching!

Sounds like you're using the Helicopter Linear Throttle mode in the ESC and using the FBL for governor duty?

You were shredding!

I'm always amazed at your mad skills and knowledge of everything you do. Enjoy watching your videos.

Great flying! The Extra sure is an amazing airplane!

My friend Im so glad you doing good❤. Great video!

A super cub with a stall horn? Never seen one b4

Great video! I was one of your earliest subscribers, I love the super cub. I would love to have a property like yours, thats a great place. Well done.

Your going to be a massive channel!! 👍 Great production value; camera work, B roll, choice of music, great personality and interesting topics, and love your wife’s humor! Subscribed!! 👍👍

Whifferdill.... Is that like kerfuffle? Or brouhaha? Or wheezerdeezer? I like it either way.

That is a very handsome airplane. It is a very desirable airframe too. Congratulation on being chosen to be its new caretaker. Since you found a leak on one side, what are your chances of finding something amiss on the other side? I would change the pads under the tanks for sure at the minimum. If one is leaking, the other probably is close behind.

Betttt, been waiting for another video of the 172🔥

What reciever and gyro are you using! I've got the dx9

I need to dust my nitro heli and my Trex! Been doing more RC planes than anything else for a few years!

You're going to laugh. I started building an Align 500L Dominator 8 years ago that I picked up from IRCHA. JUST GOT IT BUILT AND FLOWN LAST WEEK with 8 year old Lithium Polymer batteries that were stored in a box in my basement. Everything A-Ok and flys great!

An alternative install perhaps on a rag and tube plane would be to mount the beacon inside the tail end of the fuselage - fab up a bracket and adel clamp to a tube and have kept the original tail light and not had all that fuss to make the beacon fit in its place.

That is a sweet Super Cub! Greetings from Gainesville FLA!

Hey big guy! Do you like having a non nitro ship? I am very interested in getting one of these 700 X's, and also I used to fly a scale jet ranger, just wondering what kind of fuselage changes are there for this machine? Thank you so much and enjoy your flying my friend!

I love the honesty and ambition about not having the skills quite where you want them yet, but being confident that you'll get there. :) Best of luck!

Beautiful thanks for sharing!

I have been looking for this same setting. The SL30 (nav2) in my Piper Lance is straight forward getting to the side tone. I will drive out to plane in the morning and get this fixed. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. Not having the side tone working drives me insane as well. It makes me think the transmit button is not working since all the other planes I fly I can hear my side tone when transmitting.

你這影片的義意在哪？騙流量嗎？

Hey Jim, can you elaborate on your maintenance log book entries pertaining to this install?

Jim, if you really loved that beautiful wife of yours you’d demand the shoulder strap.🤔

1:16 she is a beauty!

I tried on simulator...i keep crashing heli....I can fly the planes but heli is like a skeeter in the wind .lol

Cool vid, did you consider leaving her there?

Hi Jim, Nice video, thanks for posting. Just curious on how you grounded the TB since you had only a single power line to the original? Anything special? Cheers

I heard “Umatilla Traffic” in your CTAF call… any chance that’s X23 in Florida?

Hello, from London England. Like you, I wasn't able to fly due to becoming a dad and then Covid. Got my Trex 700x back in 2017 and probably flown it ten times, so still basic flight. You have a great place to fly, here we have to pay for insurance, pay for a local park permit, club membership and a Civil Aviation Authority licence. Its kind of no longer worth it. Anyway good luck.

That is the BEST camera angle I have ever seen. The music detracts a little: it masks off the sound of the blades fighting the wind. Even So, a fine video! congrats!

Very cool. You should be a pilot. Lol. Love the way you create your videos.
