This was the last time I was at Oshkosh and I remember this fly over specifically! Currently a student pilot with actions in place to purchase an RV-7 kit next year! Love this video.
Hi there, I was wondering if I could use this video in a top 10 aerobatic airplane video that im creating for my youtube channel? If so that would be much appreciated! Thanks
Wow, my experience has been the opposite. I’ve been running one in my Avid for over 5 years now and I would never go back to the heavy lead acid. In fact I am adding a second one to backup the EFI IM INSTALLING on my 912. Around seven lbs compared to 32 lbs for a dual lead setup.Customer service, haven’t needed any so, more than that I can’t say.
Is that your RV-8? Did you build it yourself? Does the smoke kit add significant weight or affect CG? I'm looking at taking the plunge that's why the questions.
I wonder why anyone would put an airspeed indicator on a plane in "mph". It just seems silly. I think a big part of it is that the numbers are higher and it makes the plane sound faster.
I just got a pair myself. I absolutely love the "no wires". Not quite as comfy and noise cancelling as my Zulu 3's but, my plane isn't noisy. They work great!
3 weeks ago I had the honor to get on a Vans rv8 with a pilot friend of mine. First time in my life I would ever fly in a small airplane. He did a lot of aerobatics and I ended up so sick and dizzy but when we touched down and while he was trying to help me recover, I told him that was the best day of my life. I own a restaurant bar in AZ and the day after my experience with that particular airplane I started my private pilot lessons. That ride has changed my life and possibly my career. Nothing compares to the feeling of feeling free. Literally nothing.
Good for you. 40yrs later after getting my license, I get in my 172 and still feel liberated. No hearing, thinking or fearing Covid-19 putting along at 2500ft (+). Hope you stuck with it and got your license.
The amount of effort and planning that went in to this, to pull it off, flawlessly... Great to be an American where excellence is appreciated. Superb job by all patrons. I'm an RV fan, have RV intials, and, you can call me Van, too!
3 minutes to tell us that they are wireless. Wow. Don’t bother to mention build quality, access to volume, controls, backup, charging options, etc etc. but wireless hey ;-)
Sorry Paul you don't like the video. This was the first time I tried them on and used them. This was a few months before their release to the public. All I can say it's on honest review of the first time I used them on and tested them in the cockpit. As the title says - it's a "First flight Review" not a full product review.
Do you have to have your tail stagger endorsement before the transition training on an RV7? Or can you earn it as part of the transition? How long does the transition training usually take?
Just came across this today. Such an emotional shot with all the aircraft in formation with smoke on coming across mid-field. I’m not sure why, but maybe it’s the understanding of what you all went thru to make that happen, great work!!
Your voice is far superior to what they call "elevator" music. DOT retired lawyer - father born Michigan 1910 met Henry Ford and worshiped him. I went to Hotchkiss with Bill Ford 1973 CT.
In this case no modification to the wing was needed. We test the airplanes beforehand to higher than Vans Published VNE speeds to meet a Reno Racing requirement. Since this is in the experimental category we are allowed to test, observe and learn.
@@GeorgeFord1 As I am getting ready to build an RV 8, request to know your top airspeeds for this race. Is tail/rudder flutter an issue at these speeds. Thanks.
