Thank you Wheels. Your videos are a gem. The scenery, airplanes and the perfect calm narrative takes us along a meditative journey. You nailed the composition. Please keep them coming. ❤

I miss flying SOOOO much. But when you lose you're medical due to cardio problems there's no going back.

@WheelsInTheSky 7 күн бұрын

@bobjoatmon1993. Yeah, sorry to hear that. I switched to Basic Med 2 years ago. As soon as I retired from the airlines, my AME started getting finicky. Like, I didn’t really need a medical anymore, since I wasn’t flying for a living. I know my day will come soon enough, so for now I get as much enjoyment as I can.

@bobjoatmon1993 7 күн бұрын

@@WheelsInTheSky unfortunately, aFib treated with a Cardioversion (they shock your heart stopped then shock it back beating) is a disqualifing condition for Basic Med, I reported it and had the FAA pull my license. Still, I have my A&P so I still get some amount of aviation fix, it's not cold turkey.

@user-ny2bxez1c. Hi, glad you enjoyed it. That was one of my first videos. Me and Joe had just gotten our planes and we’re having so much fun, I thought I’d try making a video. Joe sold his 3 and then recently bought it back. There’s also another 3 coming to our airport soon. I’m excited to do a dedicated video on just the RV3. With my new camera setup, I think I can get some great video of the two flying formation. Thanks for checking in.

Beautiful. This is what the Dark Aero could have been if they got an experienced designer to the the layout design and lofting of their craft, which is unfortunately to say, not very good on the eyes; not to knock those boys’ efforts. But that’s the reality of it.

@alexgriffith7680. Hey Alex, good eye. Yeah, I tried it backwards a few times. Seemed that the top of the headset sat further back on my head and didn’t touch the canopy. I don’t have much clearance. But now I think my seatpack chute has collapsed enough I can wear it right.

I’d love to see the tail mount up close. After geeking on many of your newly discovered formation vids, I like the tail mount the best and want to put that on my RV6. I just ordered the 360°x4

Dang, I see the tail camera has a great view of the tail chase and rejoins. The selfie stick also has great perspective with the acro. I should have done this years ago. I hope I can keep up with editing. Thanks for the inspiration.

@stoldrag85 Ай бұрын

I am about to mount a 360° x4 and due to my searching YT for mounting options I came across your F1 mounting, which led to this Hidden Splendor gem. I’ve been into there and came thru the canyon too and it is even more spectacular than your video captured, which is saying a lot. I didn’t get video when I went there and sure will in the future. I ordered a mic pole and some other gadgets that will arrive this week. I’ll put that on my CCub before heading to AK next week. Had I found your vids sooner I could have tried your DIY. Pretty clean setup you did. I’ll do something similar for my RV6 wing mount. I wonder though, how are you able to get the great engine/prop sound without much wind distortion? It’s music all by itself!

@WheelsInTheSky Ай бұрын

@stoldrag85. My X2’s weren’t too bad about picking up wind noise, but my X3’s pick it up much more, even when set to wind reduction. I finally just put little pieces of painters tape over the mics. With the tail mount in the prop wash, there’s more wind noise than the wing mount. With my Rocket down for mx, I’ve been using my 185 more. I removed the cargo door and have been using my Canon R6 on a gimbal to get video while my buddy flies. It’s been so much fun, I think I’ll post a video in the next few weeks. PS., my X4 is coming tomorrow, I thought today was Monday??

@apuuvah. Between the two planes, I would go with the Risen since I’m not very interested in gliders. But, there is quite a difference in price. Of course, I personally went with a Rocket, and it was a used one. There’s a lot of choices and getting to be more every day. Have fun deciding.

You did not spend a fortune on fuel, but you already spent it on buying the plane, cost is a key area where this plane did not come close to addressing. I am sure at least several more manufacturers would be able to design an equivalent or better product if the financial restraints were off .
