1 01:00:03,967 --> 01:00:05,735 Hey everybody, I wanted to take a few 2 01:00:05,735 --> 01:00:07,403 minutes to introduce you to my airplane 3 01:00:07,403 --> 01:00:09,339 that I've had for about six months or so. 4 01:00:09,706 --> 01:00:11,908 This is what we call Lil Ru. 5 01:00:12,742 --> 01:00:16,779 This is a Jabaroo J230, a 2008 model. 6 01:00:18,281 --> 01:00:20,516 And she's just an absolute blast to fly. 7 01:00:20,850 --> 01:00:22,318 We've really been enjoying her. 8 01:00:22,919 --> 01:00:25,822 I'm doing some lessons for students, 9 01:00:26,422 --> 01:00:30,159 doing some transition training, even 10 01:00:30,159 --> 01:00:32,061 doing its technologically advanced 11 01:00:32,061 --> 01:00:34,330 airplane, so I'm even doing TAA training 12 01:00:34,330 --> 01:00:37,433 for commercial candidates 13 01:00:37,667 --> 01:00:39,369 who need to get more hours. 14 01:00:40,069 --> 01:00:45,041 So yeah, she's a fun airplane, really a 15 01:00:45,041 --> 01:00:47,510 blast to fly, and I'm going to introduce 16 01:00:47,510 --> 01:00:48,511 you a little to her 17 01:00:48,511 --> 01:00:51,481 today and also take you for a 18 01:00:51,748 --> 01:00:56,386 (Music) 19 01:00:59,589 --> 01:01:00,456 All right, I'm going to be 20 01:01:00,456 --> 01:01:02,291 doing a little voiceover here. 21 01:01:02,892 --> 01:01:06,529 So, kind of like a director's commentary. 22 01:01:06,963 --> 01:01:09,098 So I'll pipe in from time to time when I 23 01:01:09,098 --> 01:01:11,034 want to give some after-the-fact 24 01:01:11,034 --> 01:01:12,602 commentary on what 25 01:01:12,602 --> 01:01:14,070 you're seeing or hearing. 26 01:01:14,570 --> 01:01:17,573 And so hopefully you enjoy that, gives 27 01:01:17,573 --> 01:01:18,708 you a little more insight. 28 01:01:21,744 --> 01:01:36,092 (Music) 29 01:01:51,741 --> 01:02:01,217 (Music) 30 01:02:07,323 --> 01:02:09,058 By the way, that's one of my favorite 31 01:02:09,058 --> 01:02:12,028 parts of this video when I act surprised 32 01:02:12,428 --> 01:02:13,963 when there was no passengers. 33 01:02:14,731 --> 01:02:16,699 I didn't mean to do that, but when I was 34 01:02:16,699 --> 01:02:18,468 watching it later, that was pretty funny. 35 01:02:19,802 --> 01:02:21,003 heat is off. 36 01:02:21,170 --> 01:02:22,472 Propeller is clear. 37 01:02:23,339 --> 01:02:24,707 Master's coming on. 38 01:02:26,509 --> 01:02:28,411 Boost pump on for five seconds. 39 01:02:33,116 --> 01:02:33,549 Clear. 40 01:02:37,286 --> 01:02:38,354 Start second car. 41 01:02:41,724 --> 01:02:43,593 Instruments coming on right away. 42 01:02:45,294 --> 01:02:47,196 And we do have oil pressure. 43 01:02:47,196 --> 01:02:47,764 That's good. 44 01:02:49,732 --> 01:02:50,867 Cortex heat is across. 45 01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:51,467 Good. 46 01:02:51,567 --> 01:02:53,236 Lights will turn the naps on. 47 01:02:54,904 --> 01:02:56,038 Leave the strobes on. 48 01:02:56,305 --> 01:02:57,340 Lift the landing light off. 49 01:02:58,074 --> 01:03:00,042 Weather received in flight instruments. 50 01:03:00,176 --> 01:03:05,114 So go ahead and turn the transponder on. 51 01:03:07,049 --> 01:03:08,117 Get my headset. 52 01:03:17,827 --> 01:03:21,464 Wind 090 at 5, temperature 32 viewpoint 53 01:03:21,464 --> 01:03:23,466 minus 2, altimeter 2, niner 8 niner, 54 01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:25,301 visual approaching use landing in 55 01:03:25,301 --> 01:03:26,936 departing, runway 4 left and 4 right, 56 01:03:27,470 --> 01:03:29,572 notice check if you notice your UAS 57 01:03:29,572 --> 01:03:30,773 activity, crane's in minimums. 58 01:03:31,941 --> 01:03:34,310 south of runway center line 124.6, north 59 01:03:34,310 --> 01:03:36,779 of runway center line 119.7, advise on 60 01:03:36,779 --> 01:03:37,446 initial contact, you 61 01:03:37,446 --> 01:03:38,181 have information Charlie. 62 01:03:39,081 --> 01:03:42,752 Alright, I went ahead and got the ATIS. 63 01:03:43,786 --> 01:03:45,721 I'm ground 994, leave my just to make 64 01:03:45,755 --> 01:03:48,891 sure there's not any major closures or 65 01:03:48,891 --> 01:03:51,194 anything, but I'm just taxiing over 66 01:03:54,597 --> 01:03:56,299 to the fuel pumps so I don't really need 67 01:03:56,299 --> 01:03:57,967 to talk to anybody not 68 01:03:57,967 --> 01:04:03,439 ready to go yet ( Radio ) 69 01:04:04,774 --> 01:04:08,878 So just listening to ground if they have 70 01:04:08,878 --> 01:04:09,645 to get in touch with me. 71 01:04:09,645 --> 01:04:14,951 ( Radio ) That's never 72 01:04:14,951 --> 01:04:16,619 happened before, you never know. 73 01:04:17,253 --> 01:04:18,054 ( Radio ) 74 01:04:40,409 --> 01:04:42,411 Why is 5 kilo Sierra parked 75 01:04:42,411 --> 01:04:44,247 in front of the fuel island? 76 01:04:44,247 --> 01:04:52,355 ( Radio ) That is strange. 77 01:04:55,024 --> 01:04:55,691 So, 78 01:04:57,593 --> 01:04:58,494 So I was talking 79 01:04:58,494 --> 01:05:00,196 there about 5 kilo Sierra. 80 01:05:00,529 --> 01:05:02,565 Later on in this video 6 kilo 81 01:05:02,565 --> 01:05:04,033 Sierra will play a big role. 82 01:05:04,634 --> 01:05:06,068 Both of those airplanes are part of a 83 01:05:06,068 --> 01:05:07,670 club that I am a member 84 01:05:07,670 --> 01:05:09,005 of but I also teach at. 85 01:05:09,639 --> 01:05:12,508 And so I've flown those airplanes before. 86 01:05:13,142 --> 01:05:15,511 That'll come into play later on. 87 01:05:15,511 --> 01:05:16,846 But the reason I was surprised it was at 88 01:05:16,846 --> 01:05:18,914 the pump is because we have a deal with 89 01:05:18,914 --> 01:05:20,516 the FBO and they 90 01:05:20,516 --> 01:05:21,751 always fill it by the truck. 91 01:05:21,751 --> 01:05:23,686 And so it turns out that I don't think it 92 01:05:23,686 --> 01:05:26,188 was actually parked there to get fuel. 93 01:05:26,222 --> 01:05:27,456 It just happened to be there. 94 01:05:28,157 --> 01:05:29,825 Anyway, it's going to come back up. 95 01:05:31,427 --> 01:05:32,561 go ahead and set that. 96 01:05:34,096 --> 01:05:35,498 Instruments are gonna come off. 97 01:05:36,732 --> 01:05:42,571 (Music) 98 01:06:06,729 --> 01:06:23,079 (Music) 99 01:06:33,222 --> 01:06:34,490 All right, I'm going to talk about 100 01:06:34,490 --> 01:06:35,458 something here that you 101 01:06:35,458 --> 01:06:36,959 might notice during the video. 102 01:06:37,526 --> 01:06:39,362 You might notice some flashing on the 103 01:06:39,362 --> 01:06:42,198 warning light above the PFD there. 104 01:06:43,265 --> 01:06:45,701 That happens quite a bit when I'm doing 105 01:06:45,701 --> 01:06:47,603 things like touch and goes or landings. 106 01:06:47,636 --> 01:06:52,041 I get terrain warnings and different 107 01:06:52,041 --> 01:06:53,642 types of warnings like that all the time 108 01:06:53,642 --> 01:06:54,844 on there, and they have to be 109 01:06:54,844 --> 01:06:56,712 acknowledged or it'll continue to flash. 110 01:06:57,046 --> 01:06:59,181 I'm going to work on fixing some of those 111 01:06:59,181 --> 01:07:00,449 so it doesn't happen as much. 112 01:07:01,117 --> 01:07:03,152 You'll also notice sometimes during the 113 01:07:03,152 --> 01:07:07,356 flight possibly that the light stays on. 114 01:07:07,757 --> 01:07:12,528 Well, there was a mistake in some of the 115 01:07:12,628 --> 01:07:15,698 limits that I had to figure out. 116 01:07:16,198 --> 01:07:18,134 It was happening for a couple of days and 117 01:07:18,134 --> 01:07:19,502 there were no actual 118 01:07:19,502 --> 01:07:21,604 problems going on at the time, 119 01:07:22,638 --> 01:07:24,740 but one of the limits had gotten messed 120 01:07:24,740 --> 01:07:27,510 up and so it was latched on all the time. 121 01:07:28,144 --> 01:07:29,745 The day after this, I fixed it. 122 01:07:30,246 --> 01:07:32,281 I talked to GRT. 123 01:07:33,949 --> 01:07:36,752 And they gave me some things to try and I 124 01:07:36,752 --> 01:07:38,020 was actually able to fix it. 125 01:07:38,020 --> 01:07:39,688 So that went away. 126 01:07:39,688 --> 01:07:41,757 But if you're wondering why that's on, 127 01:07:41,757 --> 01:07:43,292 sometimes that's why. 128 01:07:43,659 --> 01:07:44,527 If you're wondering why 129 01:07:44,527 --> 01:07:46,595 it's flashing, that's normal. 130 01:07:47,663 --> 01:07:48,197 off. 131 01:07:50,533 --> 01:07:51,033 There we go. 132 01:07:52,968 --> 01:07:54,904 Lights as required. 133 01:07:54,904 --> 01:07:55,938 We're good there. 134 01:07:57,239 --> 01:08:00,810 Transponder is set to altitude. 135 01:08:00,810 --> 01:08:01,677 We'll get that on. 136 01:08:05,314 --> 01:08:06,816 Radios are set. 137 01:08:06,849 --> 01:08:11,454 Got 119.7 on the other side. 138 01:08:13,956 --> 01:08:14,790 All right, take off brief. 139 01:08:14,790 --> 01:08:15,090 We're going to be 140 01:08:15,090 --> 01:08:16,292 taking off on four, right? 141 01:08:17,460 --> 01:08:19,428 It looks like there's almost no wind. 142 01:08:19,862 --> 01:08:20,863 Any wind there is looks 143 01:08:20,863 --> 01:08:21,897 like it's down the runway. 144 01:08:23,866 --> 01:08:24,533 We should be off the 145 01:08:24,533 --> 01:08:26,735 ground by Bravo taxiway easily. 146 01:08:26,769 --> 01:08:27,903 If we're not, something's wrong. 147 01:08:27,903 --> 01:08:29,038 We're going to abort the take off. 148 01:08:29,038 --> 01:08:31,640 If we're on the take off roll and 149 01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:33,442 something anomalous happens, 150 01:08:33,476 --> 01:08:34,877 we're going to cut the power. 151 01:08:34,877 --> 01:08:37,012 And we're going to slow 152 01:08:37,012 --> 01:08:38,848 down and get off the runway. 153 01:08:39,648 --> 01:08:44,353 If we are off the ground, but there's 154 01:08:44,353 --> 01:08:45,154 runway remaining, we're 155 01:08:45,154 --> 01:08:46,122 going to do the same thing. 156 01:08:46,122 --> 01:08:46,856 Chop the power. 157 01:08:46,856 --> 01:08:48,491 We're going to put it back down on the 158 01:08:48,491 --> 01:08:50,359 remaining runway and heavy braking. 159 01:08:50,726 --> 01:08:52,828 If we're in the air and something 160 01:08:52,828 --> 01:08:53,829 happens, we're going to keep it straight 161 01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:55,264 ahead within 30 degrees. 162 01:08:55,831 --> 01:08:56,932 And we're going to find some places as 163 01:08:56,932 --> 01:08:58,134 safe as possible to land. 164 01:08:58,501 --> 01:09:00,936 If we have electrical power, we're going 165 01:09:00,936 --> 01:09:02,438 to put the flaps down more. 166 01:09:02,671 --> 01:09:04,140 They'll already be at 10 degrees. 167 01:09:05,007 --> 01:09:07,676 If we're in the air and there's no runway 168 01:09:07,676 --> 01:09:10,713 remaining, but we are 800 feet AGL. 169 01:09:10,713 --> 01:09:12,414 That's 2200 feet. 170 01:09:13,048 --> 01:09:13,649 MSL. 171 01:09:14,316 --> 01:09:15,751 The airport is available to us. 172 01:09:19,722 --> 01:09:21,957 Falcon Ground, LightSport 648 Juliet is 173 01:09:21,957 --> 01:09:22,691 complete with a run up. 174 01:09:23,192 --> 01:09:24,260 LightSport 648 Juliet, 175 01:09:24,393 --> 01:09:25,461 continue

looking for traffic, not by street. 179 01:09:45,014 --> 01:09:47,216 Officer 2080 Fakken Tower University, 180 01:09:47,216 --> 01:09:48,250 Blue Dep pursuit, power out, OK, you're 181 01:09:48,250

01:10:00,763 --> 01:10:03,732 Arizona, it is a very, 185 01:10:03,732 --> 01:10:06,235 very busy GA airport. 186 01:10:06,702 --> 01:10:08,370 There's a lot of training going on there, 187 01:10:08,370 --> 01:10:10,039 but also a lot of based aircraft. 188 01:10:10,606 --> 01:10:13,375 So you'll notice during this flight that 189 01:10:14,176 --> 01:10:16,212 the radio's pretty much constant. 190 01:10:16,212 --> 01:10:18,414 There's always people in the pattern. 191 01:10:18,414 --> 01:10:19,715 There's always things happening. 192 01:10:20,149 --> 01:10:21,850 Anyway, you'll see here, 193 01:10:21,850 --> 01:10:24,653 it's busier than most airports. 194 01:10:26,755 --> 01:10:28,357 Takeoff doors are closed, 195 01:10:28,390 --> 01:10:29,925 flaps are set ten degrees. 196

Pause ) 200 01:10:49,979 --> 01:10:52,147 Alright, final is clear. 201 01:10:55,551 --> 01:10:55,985 ( Pause ) 202 01:11:04,693 --> 01:11:06,228 Alright, power is coming up. 203 01:11:09,031 --> 01:11:09,999 No more braking. 204 01:11:11,066 --> 01:11:12,268 Airspeed is alive. 205 01:11:12,301 --> 01:11:14,036 Engine instruments are in the green. 206 01:11:16,538 --> 01:11:20,042 Okay, we'll fly the nose. 207 01:11:20,776 --> 01:11:25,180 ( Pause ) Just continuing that heading 208 01:11:25,180 --> 01:11:27,149 for now for IFR citation and balance. 209 01:11:27,383 --> 01:11:29,018 No need to return to the green. 210 01:11:30,052 --> 01:11:36,225 ( Pause ) Alright, flaps are coming up. 211 01:11:37,526 --> 01:11:52,841 ( Pause ) ( Pause ) 212 01:11:52,841 --> 01:11:59,548 ( Pause ) ( Pause ) ( Pause ) 213 01:12:06,288 --> 01:12:07,556 Juliet runway 4R, cleared to land. 214 01:12:07,856 --> 01:12:09,291 Cleared to land 4R, 1-6-2. 215 01:12:10,125 --> 01:12:11,260 Music 216 01:12:18,567 --> 01:12:22,071 ( Radio ) 217 01:12:24,673 --> 01:12:25,941 All right, I thought it'd be a good 218 01:12:25,941 --> 01:12:28,243 opportunity to talk a little bit about 219 01:12:28,243 --> 01:12:30,312 Lil Ru, tell you a little more about her. 220 01:12:31,013 --> 01:12:35,017 She's a 2008 J230 from Jabaroo. 221 01:12:35,918 --> 01:12:38,921 It's got an updated Gen 4 Jabaroo 3,300 222 01:12:38,921 --> 01:12:41,623 six-cylinder engine in it and an engine 223 01:12:41,657 --> 01:12:44,126 instrumentation system from GRT or Grand 224 01:12:44,126 --> 01:12:45,094 Rapids Technologies. 225 01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:48,130 The PFD and the MFD are also from GRT as 226 01:12:48,130 --> 01:12:49,298 well as the autopilot. 227 01:12:49,431 --> 01:12:52,868 It's all part of an integrated Pretty 228 01:12:52,868 --> 01:12:55,404 easy to use but as with most more 229 01:12:55,404 --> 01:12:57,539 advanced instruments you have to spend 230 01:12:57,539 --> 01:12:58,707 some time to get to know 231 01:12:58,707 --> 01:12:59,975 them to get proficient. 232 01:13:00,909 --> 01:13:01,443 Here's the other 233 01:13:01,443 --> 01:13:02,444 thing about this airplane. 234 01:13:03,078 --> 01:13:05,647 It's not that easy to land and take off 235 01:13:05,647 --> 01:13:07,516 compared to more traditional trainers. 236 01:13:07,883 --> 01:13:10,185 I've noticed this as I've done TA 237 01:13:10,419 --> 01:13:12,287 training for a handful of commercial 238 01:13:12,287 --> 01:13:14,523 certificate candidates and I've noticed 239 01:13:14,523 --> 01:13:16,425 how they've struggled at first with the 240 01:13:16,425 --> 01:13:19,128 rudder with how light it is and probably 241 01:13:19,128 --> 01:13:20,429 other parts of the design. 242 01:13:20,729 --> 01:13:22,698 The left turning axis on takeoff are 243 01:13:22,698 --> 01:13:24,366 pretty pronounced compared to your 244 01:13:24,366 --> 01:13:25,667 average Cessna or Piper. 245 01:13:26,201 --> 01:13:27,803 You got to be Johnny on the spot with the 246 01:13:27,803 --> 01:13:29,905 rudder and it's a strong push on the 247 01:13:29,905 --> 01:13:31,106 right to keep that nose 248 01:13:31,106 --> 01:13:32,441 straight when you're taking off. 249 01:13:32,975 --> 01:13:34,376 But it's not just on takeoff either. 250 01:13:34,376 --> 01:13:37,079 The adverse yaw is much greater than on 251 01:13:37,079 --> 01:13:40,015 an Archer or even a 172 in just normal 252 01:13:40,015 --> 01:13:41,884 turns when you're flying the airplane. 253 01:13:42,584 --> 01:13:45,687 Besides the risk of ground looping, it 254 01:13:45,687 --> 01:13:46,989 kind of feels a bit like 255 01:13:46,989 --> 01:13:48,423 flying a tailwheel aircraft. 256 01:13:48,423 --> 01:13:50,559 You have to really be on the rudder. 257 01:13:51,193 --> 01:13:53,028 Likewise for landings it can feel a 258 01:13:53,028 --> 01:13:54,963 little squirrely on touchdown and roll 259 01:13:54,963 --> 01:13:56,465 out compared to common trainers. 260 01:13:56,999 --> 01:13:59,001 Not as planted if you will. 261 01:13:59,435 --> 01:14:01,136 You really have to dance on the rudders 262 01:14:01,136 --> 01:14:03,105 to keep the nose straight at those speeds 263 01:14:03,105 --> 01:14:04,239 just after touchdown. 264 01:14:05,007 --> 01:14:07,042 You really get rewarded in this airplane 265 01:14:07,042 --> 01:14:08,177 for keeping the nose off the 266 01:14:08,177 --> 01:14:10,045 ground as long as possible. 267 01:14:10,312 --> 01:14:11,613 So riding that wheelie on 268 01:14:11,613 --> 01:14:13,115 landing really helps out. 269 01:14:13,615 --> 01:14:15,451 The slower you are when the nose wheel 270 01:14:15,451 --> 01:14:16,552 touches the ground, the 271 01:14:16,552 --> 01:14:17,186 more off you're going to be. 272 01:14:19,655 --> 01:14:22,858 So today since I don't get to do that 273 01:14:22,858 --> 01:14:24,827 many landings anymore since I'm either 274 01:14:24,827 --> 01:14:27,229 with students who do the landings or I'm 275 01:14:27,229 --> 01:14:29,164 going somewhere with my wife or someone 276 01:14:29,164 --> 01:14:31,133 else and I only get one 277 01:14:31,133 --> 01:14:32,634 landing at our destination. 278 01:14:33,135 --> 01:14:34,470 So I thought I'd go up and 279 01:14:34,503 --> 01:14:35,871 just stay in the pattern a bit. 280 01:14:35,904 --> 01:14:37,706 It was really fun just to relax and get 281 01:14:37,706 --> 01:14:38,874 some reps in like that. 282 01:14:39,341 --> 01:14:42,010 Like most skills in aviation it's a bit 283 01:14:42,010 --> 01:14:43,912 perishable and I want to make sure I'm 284 01:14:43,912 --> 01:14:45,147 keeping my proficiency up. 285 01:14:45,914 --> 01:14:48,016 Maybe I got a little too relaxed though 286 01:14:48,016 --> 01:14:50,018 as you'll see later in the flight so yeah 287 01:14:50,052 --> 01:14:51,286 a little foreshadowing for you. 288 01:14:53,822 --> 01:14:57,693 ( Radio ) 289

Radio ) ( Radio ) ( Radio ) 299 01:18:09,651 --> 01:18:11,119 There you heard me coach 300 01:18:11,153 --> 01:18:12,988 myself more right rudder there. 301 01:18:13,488 --> 01:18:14,756 That goes back to what I was talking 302 01:18:14,756 --> 01:18:17,459 about a few minutes ago about, you know, 303 01:18:17,492 --> 01:18:19,494 needing an extra rudder in this airplane. 304 01:18:19,494 --> 01:18:21,730 So sometimes, uh, when I'm a little out 305 01:18:21,730 --> 01:18:22,931 of practice, I got to coach 306 01:18:22,931 --> 01:18:24,166 myself up a little bit too. 307 01:18:25,367 -->

01:19:31,900 That might be interesting for you, so 314 01:19:31,967 --> 01:19:33,001 I'll throw some out here. 315 01:19:33,368 --> 01:19:35,570 While the engine is very conventional by 316 01:19:35,570 --> 01:19:37,272 today's standards, it does 317 01:19:37,272 --> 01:19:39,274 have a bit of a wide RPM range. 318 01:19:39,574 --> 01:19:41,409 I say conventional because it's a 319 01:19:41,409 --> 01:19:44,246 horizontally opposed, air-cooled, direct 320 01:19:44,246 --> 01:19:46,681 drive, carbureted aircraft engine. 321 01:19:47,048 --> 01:19:48,517 Pretty standard stuff. 322 01:19:49,117 --> 01:19:50,318 But there are some things that are a 323 01:19:50,318 --> 01:19:51,086 little different, and we 324 01:19:51,086 --> 01:19:52,154 can talk about that now. 325 01:19:52,621 --> 01:19:54,156 First, it's got an 326 01:19:54,189 --> 01:19:56,124 altitude compensating carburetor. 327 01:19:56,525 --> 01:19:57,759 There is no mixture 328 01:19:57,759 --> 01:19:59,494 control that the pilot can use. 329 01:19:59,661 --> 01:20:01,730 The carburetor changes the mixture on its 330 01:20:01,730 --> 01:20:03,098 own as appropriate for 331 01:20:03,098 --> 01:20:04,866 whatever density altitude we're in. 332 01:20:05,433 --> 01:20:07,903 Interesting concept, but yeah, no control 333 01:20:08,470 --> 01:20:10,672 of the mixture by the pilot, which is a 334 01:20:10,739 --> 01:20:11,673 little strange when you 335 01:20:11,673 --> 01:20:12,440 first start flying it. 336 01:20:12,774 --> 01:20:15,177 To shut the engine down, for example, you 337 01:20:15,177 --> 01:20:16,444 turn it off like a car. 338 01:20:17,212 --> 01:20:18,814 With the key. 339 01:20:19,548 --> 01:20:20,615 It's something that's a little 340 01:20:20,615 --> 01:20:21,817 different for most airplanes. 341 01:20:21,817 --> 01:20:24,019 ( Radio ) 342 01:20:49,744 --> 01:20:54,449 ( Radio ) ( Radio ) ( Radio ) ( Radio ) 343 01:21:07,896 --> 01:21:09,097 ( Radio ) ( Radio ) 344 01:21:22,577 --> 01:21:25,113 It's also a pretty small engine, about 345 01:21:25,113 --> 01:21:26,948 200 cubic inches of displacement. 346 01:21:27,549 --> 01:21:29,751 But it's a six cylinder 347 01:21:29,751 --> 01:21:32,153 engine, about 120 horsepower. 348 01:21:32,654 --> 01:21:34,823 The result of that six cylinders, at 349 01:21:34,823 --> 01:21:36,625 least from my perspective, is that the 350 01:21:36,625 --> 01:21:38,393 engine is very smooth, 351 01:21:38,727 --> 01:21:40,028 very little vibration. 352 01:21:40,729 --> 01:21:43,131 With the lightweight carbon fiber prop 353 01:21:43,131 --> 01:21:44,766 this airplane has, it just 354 01:21:44,766 --> 01:21:46,735 starts and stops like a car. 355 01:21:46,935 --> 01:21:48,536 It fires up basically 356 01:21:48,603 --> 01:21:50,038 instantly every time. 357 01:21:50,605 --> 01:21:52,507 You can barely hear or feel it when it 358 01:21:52,507 --> 01:21:54,943 happens, relatively speaking, of course. 359 01:21:55,243 --> 01:21:55,944 It's pretty cool. 360 01:21:57,379 --> 01:21:59,748 Anyway, I'll let you watch this landing 361 01:21:59,748 --> 01:22:01,049 and then I'll pick this back up after. 362 01:22:07,289

01:24:27,061 --> 01:24:28,797 so I asked for it and got it. 372 01:24:29,731 --> 01:24:31,866 I don't, I haven't really gotten a chance 373 01:24:31,866 --> 01:24:33,902 to do a ton of those in this airplane but 374 01:24:33,902 --> 01:24:36,738 I like to feel what the glide feels like 375 01:24:36,738 --> 01:24:40,074 and kind of really get to start to feel 376 01:24:40,074 --> 01:24:42,844 how the energy is going to need to be 377 01:24:42,844 --> 01:24:44,579 managed on something like that so when I 378 01:24:44,579 --> 01:24:46,815 see this opportunity I had to take it. 379 01:24:47,449 --> 01:24:47,849 There you go. 380 01:24:58,126 --> 01:25:03,765 ( Pause ) ( Pause ) ( Radio ) ( Pause ) 381 01:25:03,765 --> 01:25:12,874 ( Pause ) ( Pause ) ( Radio ) 382 01:25:18,713 --> 01:25:31,626 ( Pause ) ( Radio ) ( Pause ) 383 01:25:32,260 --> 01:25:33,361 I should note this 384 01:25:33,361 --> 01:25:34,796 airplane's pretty slippery. 385 01:25:34,796 --> 01:25:36,531 It's got a 12 to one glide ratio. 386 01:25:36,531 --> 01:25:38,132 So it's actually not 387 01:25:38,132 --> 01:25:39,300 that easy to get down. 388 01:25:39,701 --> 01:25:42,203 So it's good for me to practice these 389 01:25:42,570 --> 01:25:44,372 power off 180s and things like that. 390 01:25:44,372 --> 01:25:45,573 So I can get a feel for it. 391 01:25:45,573 --> 01:25:46,841 It's quite a bit more 392 01:25:46,841 --> 01:25:48,443 floaty, quite a bit more glidy. 393 01:25:49,043 --> 01:25:51,012 If that's a word, then the 394 01:25:51,012 --> 01:25:52,914 trainers that I'm in a lot. 395

did put that right on the 401 01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:21,202 thousand footers which was my target. 402 01:27:21,202 --> 01:27:24,138 So, hey, you win some sometimes. 403 01:27:34,749 --> 01:27:36,551

Some of the numbers feel a little bit 410 01:28:15,957 --> 01:28:17,358 normal, like it likes to 411 01:28:17,358 --> 01:28:19,494 idle and taxi about 1,000 RPM. 412 01:28:19,494 --> 01:28:20,395 That's pretty normal. 413 01:28:20,795 --> 01:28:23,064 But pulling the throttle all the way out, 414 01:28:23,064 --> 01:28:25,133 all the way to idle, doesn't really 415 01:28:25,133 --> 01:28:27,068 reduce it much from that 1,000, maybe 416 01:28:27,068 --> 01:28:28,569 down to about 900 or so. 417 01:28:29,604 --> 01:28:30,705 Some of the other RPMs 418 01:28:30,705 --> 01:28:32,874 you use seem kind of normal. 419 01:28:32,874 --> 01:28:34,742 For example, I usually fly 420 01:28:34,742 --> 01:28:37,245 the pattern at about 2,100 RPM. 421 01:28:37,679 --> 01:28:39,414 The difference is, when I'm flying at 422 01:28:39,414 --> 01:28:42,083 2,100 RPM in the pattern, that's usually 423 01:28:42,083 --> 01:28:44,686 at about 80 knots, not the 90 or so you 424 01:28:44,686 --> 01:28:46,220 would see in a conventional trainer. 425 01:28:47,221 --> 01:28:48,456 Let's talk about cruise. 426 01:28:49,357 --> 01:28:51,292 This is where things are a bit different. 427 01:28:51,759 --> 01:28:52,960 The standard cruise range 428 01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:56,464 is from 2,750 to 2,850 RPM. 429 01:28:57,065 --> 01:28:59,367 She'll cruise at about 110 knots 430 01:28:59,367 --> 01:29:01,469 indicated or more at the higher end of 431 01:29:01,469 --> 01:29:04,539 that range, usually somewhere about 120, 432 01:29:05,573 --> 01:29:06,941 maybe even a little more 433 01:29:07,075 --> 01:29:08,876 true airspeed, maybe 125. 434 01:29:10,044 --> 01:29:11,946 She'll do that sipping 435 01:29:11,946 --> 01:29:14,148 about 5.2 gallons an hour. 436 01:29:15,583 --> 01:29:17,652 There's an information screen on the MFD 437 01:29:18,286 --> 01:29:20,621 engine page that, among other things, 438 01:29:20,688 --> 01:29:22,724 shows the current mileage and 439 01:29:22,724 --> 01:29:24,192 the average mileage as well. 440 01:29:24,792 --> 01:29:26,427 Often, she reports that we're getting 441 01:29:26,427 --> 01:29:28,963 about 23, 24, or even 25 442 01:29:29,063 --> 01:29:30,465 nautical miles per gallon. 443 01:29:30,998 --> 01:29:32,734 I haven't done the math exactly, but that 444 01:29:32,734 --> 01:29:35,770 translates to likely over 30 statute 445 01:29:35,770 --> 01:29:36,637 miles per gallon or 446 01:29:36,637 --> 01:29:37,605 somewhere around that. 447 01:29:38,406 --> 01:29:40,475 It's pretty funny that in cruise, my 448 01:29:40,475 --> 01:29:43,044 airplane gets better gas mileage than, I 449 01:29:43,044 --> 01:29:44,212 don't know, like a Corolla. 450 01:29:44,712 --> 01:29:46,914 It does it at about twice the typical 451 01:29:46,914 --> 01:29:49,150 speed and in straight 452 01:29:49,150 --> 01:29:50,351 lines to your destination. 453 01:29:50,852 --> 01:29:51,219 I don't know. 454 01:29:51,786 --> 01:29:52,754 I love the efficiency 455 01:29:52,754 --> 01:29:53,621 we get in this thing. 456 01:29:55,256 --> 01:29:55,823 looking good. 457 01:29:56,557 --> 01:29:58,860 I'm gonna start to walk that power out. 458 01:30:01,796 --> 01:30:04,465 Alright, power's all the way down. 459 01:30:07,068 --> 01:30:08,269 Just gonna let it float 460 01:30:08,302 --> 01:30:09,937 to the thousand footers. 461 01:30:09,971 --> 01:30:17,345 (Silence) Alright, that's good. 462 01:30:18,279 --> 01:30:20,214 Keep that nose light. 463 01:30:21,482 --> 01:30:23,951 All right, we are not 464 01:30:23,951 --> 01:30:25,486 gonna let it go to the left. 465 01:30:26,320 --> 01:30:27,655 Fly that nose. 466 01:30:27,855 --> 01:30:28,623 Full power. 467 01:30:31,058 --> 01:30:31,926 (Radio Chatter) (Radio Chatter) 468 01:30:42,236 --> 01:30:44,372 Obviously, if you've watched the video 469 01:30:44,372 --> 01:30:46,040 part of this flight, not just listen to 470 01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:48,709 the audio, you'll also notice that it has 471 01:30:48,709 --> 01:30:50,077 a control stick and not a yoke. 472 01:30:50,745 --> 01:30:52,814 So for those only listening, it's a 473 01:30:52,814 --> 01:30:55,616 shared center stick where it comes up in 474 01:30:55,616 --> 01:30:58,453 kind of a why, so there's a grip for each 475 01:30:58,453 --> 01:31:00,755 pilot on the same control stick. 476 01:31:01,456 --> 01:31:02,990 It's pretty easy to fly 477 01:31:02,990 --> 01:31:04,091 and works out pretty well. 478 01:31:04,559 --> 01:31:06,294 Because the stick is between the two 479 01:31:06,294 --> 01:31:08,296 pilots, there has to be a throttle 480 01:31:08,296 --> 01:31:10,932 control for the outside hands, and sure 481 01:31:10,932 --> 01:31:13,334 enough, there is a dual throttle control, 482 01:31:13,334 --> 01:31:15,336 one on the far left of the panel and one 483 01:31:15,336 --> 01:31:16,304 on the far right of the 484 01:31:16,304 --> 01:31:18,105 panel, so either pilot can use it. 485 01:31:19,173 --> 01:31:20,641 One more thing that might be a little 486 01:31:20,641 --> 01:31:22,977 different is that the push to talk for 487 01:31:22,977 --> 01:31:25,613 either pilot is just above their 488 01:31:25,613 --> 01:31:27,982 respective throttle control on the panel. 489 01:31:28,716 --> 01:31:30,918 It actually is pretty easy to use since 490 01:31:30,918 --> 01:31:33,688 your hand is usually resting right there, 491 01:31:33,721 --> 01:31:36,858 closer on the throttle, because there is 492 01:31:36,858 --> 01:31:39,527 an arm rest on each door that leads your 493 01:31:39,527 --> 01:31:40,928 arm straight to the 494 01:31:40,928 --> 01:31:42,230 throttle and the push to talk. 495 01:31:42,797 --> 01:31:44,298 Likewise, there's an arm rest in the 496 01:31:44,298 --> 01:31:46,033 center for the stick hand. 497 01:31:46,434 --> 01:31:48,903 Seriously, it's a very comfortable 498 01:31:49,003 --> 01:31:50,838 airplane to fly as your hands are just 499 01:31:50,838 --> 01:31:52,507 sort of naturally resting 500 01:31:52,507 --> 01:31:54,075 in all the right places. 501 01:31:54,075 --> 01:32:09,090 ( Radio ) ( Radio ) ( Radio ) (

why we call it a Lil Ru. 541 01:35:52,146 --> 01:35:55,316 First she's small so that part's pretty 542 01:35:55,316 --> 01:35:58,486 obvious but the Ru part comes of course 543 01:35:58,486 --> 01:36:00,488 from her manufacturer Jabberoo. 544 01:36:01,222 --> 01:36:03,524 Ru happens to also be a family name in my 545 01:36:03,524 --> 01:36:05,593 family so it fits even better. 546

01:38:33,474 --> 01:38:35,175 I should have mentioned this earlier, but 563 01:38:35,743 --> 01:38:37,945 one of the reasons I was out here trying 564 01:38:37,945 --> 01:38:40,814 to kind of do spot landings, I was trying 565 01:38:40,814 --> 01:38:42,483 to make sure I was landing most of the 566 01:38:42,483 --> 01:38:44,885 time beyond the beginning of the thousand 567 01:38:44,885 --> 01:38:46,654 footers, is because I'm probably going to 568 01:38:46,654 --> 01:38:47,655 be flying my airplane 569 01:38:47,655 --> 01:38:48,789 to Oshkosh this year. 570 01:38:49,189 --> 01:38:50,357 Yeah, it's going to be awesome. 571 01:38:50,891 --> 01:38:53,961 But because I've only had it for six 572 01:38:53,961 --> 01:38:56,397 months and I don't get to land it all 573 01:38:56,397 --> 01:38:59,033 that often I talked about earlier, I 574 01:38:59,033 --> 01:39:00,601 wanted to start getting real familiar 575 01:39:00,601 --> 01:39:03,170 about managing the energy like I said 576 01:39:03,170 --> 01:39:06,774 before, so that I can get proficient at 577 01:39:06,774 --> 01:39:09,176 spot landings, making sure I can hit my 578 01:39:09,176 --> 01:39:11,145 spots because that's an important skill 579 01:39:11,412 --> 01:39:12,713 when you're flying into Oshkosh. 580 01:39:12,913 --> 01:39:13,514 So that's one of the 581 01:39:13,514 --> 01:39:14,515 reasons I was out as well. 582 01:39:18,652 --> 01:39:21,889 ( Radio ) 583 01:39:27,995 --> 01:39:29,096 left base, turning four 584 01:39:29,096 --> 01:39:30,030 left, good touch and go. 585 01:39:31,665 --> 01:39:33,400

might be small, but 589 01:39:41,375 --> 01:39:43,577 again, if you've watched the video, you 590 01:39:43,577 --> 01:39:45,579 do get a glimpse at one point of the 591 01:39:45,579 --> 01:39:46,480 baggage compartment. 592 01:39:47,314 --> 01:39:48,882 I would bet it's likely the biggest 593 01:39:48,882 --> 01:39:50,484 baggage compartment in 594 01:39:50,484 --> 01:39:52,152 all of light sport world. 595 01:39:52,653 --> 01:39:54,355 My understanding is that the same 596 01:39:54,388 --> 01:39:56,790 airframe is used for a four-seat model 597 01:39:56,790 --> 01:39:58,492 that's available in other countries, like 598 01:39:58,492 --> 01:40:00,127 maybe Australia where it's made. 599 01:40:00,627 --> 01:40:03,597 So in this light sport two-seat model, 600 01:40:03,864 --> 01:40:05,265
