Both takeoffs were the same. Its a short runway and you are playing with fire there in that aircraft. If you are going to keep using that runway, you should hold the brakes until the engine gets to max RPM, start the roll, holding the stick all the way back, get airborn a couple of feet quickly to get free of runway friction. The aircraft will speed up much faster in the air, than on the runway. And you will be able to climb at Vx instead of Vy.
Both takeoffs were definitely NOT the same. Watch the video. I am holding brakes, advancing to max RPM, then releasing brakes. However, holding the stick all the way back on a Canard on takeoff roll will guarantee a prop strike, followed by massive over-rotation, and a crash. What works in your Cirrus is not going to work in every airplane. Also, "runway friction" is far less than the drag created by creating lift, even in ground effect, at least at takeoff roll speeds. Acceleration on the ground in a Canard, when zero lift is being produced, is much faster than acceleration in the air, when there is considerable induced drag. That was the cause of this problem here.
@@CanardBoulevard You use the same technique in both takeoffs and you get airborne in about the same place. The principal of getting airborn as quickly as possible in short field takeoffs is a proven and standard procedure. You are incorrect that the ground is less draggy than being airborn, that is why short field landings are performed in the same way. The goal is to get into the air a couple of feet off the runway, take advantage of ground effect, even at slow speeds, keep the plane level until your speed reaches Vy rotation which will happen sooner than being on the runway, and angle at Vx once your speed is achieved.
I wonder how many peeps FARGAMNz are freeking out when they are RIGHT THERE @ 17:29 on the way in FINAL FINALLY APPROACHING, and they were 50 feet off where they were last week?? and they forgot to reset the guidance line>??? well farmers and their GPS lines was whreere that funny thought came from...
ummm about your ''sweater overheating sitch'' I had an image of a ''jacket'' that had removable sleeaves, and a pianio henge kinda string thingie in the back down the spine, so you can remove the sleaves, and pull the piano henge ''cord'' fromt he back (cord is tucked behind the collar at back of your neck... and peal the VEST sides *off* without gettin ''UP'' ...... I can draw up where I saw the seams if the translation was bad... don't kno if they make such a jacket but... eh... :)
Scott I was wondering if in all your landings you use the speed brake or if you need to get to the end of a long runway you land without the speed brake ?
I always use it. The airplane accelerates very quickly (it's slippery) and it is difficult to hold your airspeed consistently on approach without the brake deployed.
The ailerons are always a compromise. Make them too big, and the aircraft is too twitchy and hard to control at high cruise speeds. Make them too small, and you run out of authority at slow speeds. When you get down low on final, you're slow, and it gets gusty, so you need a LOT of aileron input to compensate. The ailerons are definitely smaller than you would find on a Cessna.
I’ve been curious about why the Vari-Eze, Long-EZ, and Cozy always seem to drop their noses like a sack of potatoes when the mains touch down. Do the canards carry so little lift at landing speeds that they simple give up when the mains touch and the wings are unloaded? [ed] Do they land in a relatively flat attitude, only a few degrees nose-up? Do VGs on the canard and main wing help with land speeds and attitude?
Correct. You have to land flat, if you pull the nose up into a flare like you would a Cessna, you risk a prop strike. With the mains on the ground, the nose will fall a bit, and it only takes a very slight drop on the nose to make the canard angle of attack such that it is no longer producing usable lift at the current elevator setting. It's possible to land gently at lower speeds and hold the nose off...but it takes finesse, and it's not going to happen in gusty conditions.
Dude, sorry I am late. I have SUPER FAM responsibilities, for now. 1. I love this video. 2. I am not an aviator, but clearly, I used to call them in on improvised landing strips. 3. Para is a thing, so, offset, You are running a 170 Canopy to the normal 172 220 Canopies for landing. Or, 190s. This is excellent for the Cozy Community because they land a little hotter. 4. We have the same birth nations. 5. There are irons in the fire other than just what you do on the channel, and what I do in my consultancy. Plus you have a commercial rating from the way back machine, and your spouse is supportive. Previously briefed. Other iron in the fire I don´t want anything from you, 6. You getting it on pavement is serious zen. Plus, transition for the Canard community of slighter hotter on landing aircraft. These days it seems to be about IFR, Range, Engine Management... Etc. I don´t underrate your community. Plus, where you take this, is your gig. But the risk management is in lane and supportable. 7. Nobody likes zoomies until people understand zoomies. Entiendo. Zoomies is UK slang for Aviators. Do I sound UK, eh... 8. 8th point, there is a clue here. I don't want to guess what you are up to. But you are clearly working on something while you do this. You and the Canard Community. 9er,th point. Another clue. 9er is command in Canada and the UK. I am private side, and sometimes bust moves like hooking audience in Canada towards a Canadian, or ex Canadian, US citizen, breaking ground. Potentially but not conclusively including the zoomie community. Plus you obviously have other irons in the fire, and I can approximate who may watch your channel by how you manage risk. Keep it between the oncoming trafic and the ditch on the motorcycles. And, nice zen watching you get that HOT but not too hot air-frame on the ground. You have the background for it actual. Comment help, as you said, So does business diversification. For you, and the Canard community. It obviously is not a cheap thing to get into. And, we have a shared interest in motorcycles. In my ability to afford. Nice work there Sir. So, lets leave it there, other than I will put up a funny song that you should not take to literally. Its supposed to be funny. Out. Oh, I have no doubt your wider canard community can read wind. Who doesn't want a Meridian. I do, and I would´t know what to do with it. lol.
You know, just today after this video went live, I read the title and thought; "hmmm...it could be interpreted that way, which would be really crazy." I suppose if you count bounces as a landing... :)
You might want to re-think the use of hose clamps in critical applications . With the vibrations generated by most aviation engines who are literally trying to shake them selves apart . No Mater what the band is made of they are not the proper way to clamp something of importance. Why is the exhaust stack so loose?
That is how these planes are built, and those clamps have been on this airplane exactly like this for 20 years. The exhaust headers are independent, each one goes to a slip joint on the header flange, so they need to be held together to AVOID vibration. They aren't CRITICAL, but without them you could end up with vibration-induced wear.
I very much enjoyed that, and you can see your landings approve a lot. Could you please make something to always get the camera angle at something similar to 4:37? That way we can see everything including your control inputs and the instruments. I find the videos where you can see those the more entertaining than just seeing the outside.
Very interesting Scott. I can't read the indicated airspeed on the PFD. What is your target airspeed for when the main wheels first contact the runway?
Ideally, it would be 68-69 kts, a little above stall. A lot of these are more like 75-80 kts, especially if it's gusty. When you see me landing on long runways in this video, you can see I hold it off to bleed speed. In this video when I touch down at KLAL, I wait until I'm at 69 kts before touching down. On shorter runways, I don't have that luxury.
@@CanardBoulevard Thanks. Ideally, you would bleed off speed and touch down at the same speed and position on all runways. Forcing it onto the runway at a higher speed on short runways just compounds the problem of having a shorter than desired runway and eats up a lot of brake pads (and hammers the nose wheel). Do you think that maybe your brakes are on when you touch down much of the time? I keep wondering why the nose gear slams into the runway almost immediately after the mains touch down on most landings. On my Long-EZ, I touch down as close to the numbers as possible at about 70 mph (61 kts) and carry the nose wheel in the air just off the runway for at least 1,000 ft until the indicated airspeed reaches about 55 mph (48 kts) when I can no longer hold the nose wheel off the runway with full down elevator.
@@LGEZ53S I definitely know what it feels like to land with the brakes on - I did it just the other day, when I was holding the rudders out for deceleration, and didn't get off them in time for touchdown. It slammed the nosegear down and was not pleasant! I can touch down and hold the nosewheel off, but it needs to be at a much lower speed - or hold it off and let the speed bleed off, like you mention. But on a lot of runways, you don't have the luxury of thousands of feet of length with which to do that. That's definitely preferable to scrubbing my brakes away...
Awesome, seemed like there was one particular strip where you had to land fast every time. It was the one with the road just before the runway afyer the trees
That's Columbia, and that runway is not particularly long - plus there are tall trees. So I have to come in close over the trees (which makes it look faster than it is), then dive for the runway, which makes the speed jump up, to get the wheels on the ground so that I can brake.
your foundation is shot. Your patch will last a few years tops. You need to have the slab raised or it will keep settling. Companies out there do it all the time for warehouses that need flat floors. For a few hundred bucks you can get an ACTUAL fix not some crappy patch.
Yup, for $500 I could have someone come and raise the slab...but it's not my hangar (it's city property). So if this lasts a few years, I'm happy - then I will fix it again if needed.
- Cool t-shirt. But I guess you need some more airplane t-shirts 😀 - Looks like a useful product. I've never used it. But I might have some applications for it around the house.
I wondered about the cold patch when I saw it in the first video you mentioned it in ! I have a few applications for that stuff ! Thanks for sharing 😊👍
Slick, You are almost to 5K subscribers. Nice. Are you just recommending this stuff or are you hopefully getting click through revenue on it? Just curious. Obviously its works for you. Filler? "Like, "Sham-Wow!, its going to make you say Wow! You know the German's make good stuff right..." Watchers know you have a number of different projects afoot with the other activities in your life. I still think there is something going on in the background; but, its difficult to determine if its channel based, life based, other activity based. Almost to 5K though, so... Since you aren't a clown, you are probably going to have slow steady growth with a different market. Not a bad thing in my opinion. Stay Groovy.
That's one of the awesome things about this airport, there are some GREAT people here! It's hard to get work done sometimes, but there's usually someone around to lend a third hand if you need it.
Could you switch to U-bolt style muffler clamps to replace the flimsy radiator screw clamps that can't take the heat/expansion of your exhaust pipes? Might save a prop.
Too heavy, and would damage the thin, delicate (and very expensive) stainless titanium alloy pipes. Those screw clamps are special stainless designed for this type of thing - I'm not sure why the one failed, as I never found it.
Much better hanger ! The floor is level ! Looking good 😉bummer about the thumb 👍 ( hint : keeping your thumb at heart level should help the throbbing )
I’m sure you’re an experienced husband, but I think you forgot the cardinal rule. Never ever ever say in public that your wife complained about anything. You will pay for that. I know you didn’t mean it in any disrespectful way and I’m just giving you a hard time but your wife’s probably gonna give you a hard time too. I do understand the irony of the situation your damned if you do you’re damned if you don’t. It’s either too cold or it’s too hot. But your wife seems very pleasant and the fact that she didn’t complain at all, and simply waited until you asked and then told you that it was too hot makes that clear. if I recall repair video about the heat, you have a cable that I assume you can use the air it’s only allow some of the hot area to regulate correct?
I'm safe, because she doesn't watch any of these videos!! :) I have two cables that I installed actually, one of them turns the heat on, and the other changes the output of the heat between the front and the rear (or both). Oh, and yes, 20 years experienced :)
