Just building and fixing things. My area of expertise is Aircraft I am a certified A&P and hold an IA but this is more then just planes. Sometimes we will be working on the cars, sometimes the house, and if things go as planned even the barn. So stick around grab some popcorn and strap in for the most mediocre content on the tube.

Just wondering as another A&P IA with interest in part time work on the side, where are you located? General area is ok. Did you start by word of mouth as far as business? Do you bother with an LLC and/or insurance? 6 years GA experience, no longer work GA currently. 12 years total experience
The content is excellent. Video production side, you just need to make that you are well lit and that the lighting is even overall. Also, for a talking head video, you want to stay away from wide angles unless you want the background to be part of the focus-which will also need to be appropriately lit, in that case. If you are not going to light the background object(s), then a tighter field of view is better. But, again, the content is amazing.
Thanks for the tips. I finally got the mic adapter and case for my HERO 9. I'm going to consume content on production. The hero 9 is 10 times easier to change modes on the fly with. Plus, having a view finder on the back will help tremendously with setting up the camera.
Bryce, great video. You can perform the manual gear extension in flight. Bring another pilot and/or have a good autopilot. Set the autopilot up, ensure no traffic. Pull breaker and start cranking. Good practice in the Bonanza is 10 turns, stop adjust power and verify no traffic. 10 turns, power, traffic. repeat. I agree all owners should do it at least once.
Another excellent video, thanks! I did not notice the lighting in the cabin, sorry. 🙂 It's good to hear that you're a fan of both compression checks and borescoping. I bought my own borescope a year or two ago and find that it is invaluable in determining what's really going on inside the cylinder. The fact about the compressions increasing due to worn rings was new to me - thanks!
I’m almost done with school ,got power plant left ,I’m exited and nervous eat the same time ,I’m ready for a change I love airplanes ✈️ and ufo’s 😂,anyway my fear is working for people that are racist,or working for disrespectful people .i am 34. Gentle soul ,been there done it ,I just want peace and no hate or problems ,I grew up in the Caribbean so I’m not use to the racism and it breaks my heart to see us human beings hating each other over skin color smh ,anyway send some blessings my way brother ,bless you .
I'm sure there are still a few places you might run into that. But on the whole, A&P's are incredible people. They are kind, Helpful and very respectful. We are a brotherhood, we will give each other a hard time and joke but when it gets down to it most of us will give someone the shirt off are back. Yes there are bad apples but there are in every large group
@@brycebuildsitwow,I feel way better knowing that you took the time out to reply to my message ,thanks for your information ,my thoughts towards work is different now .blessings my brother ,I will subscribe 🙏
im looking to do possible career change and love aviation and am a Certificated Private Pilot. Was thinking of getting A & P to work on my own plane and also maybe some other planes in spare time and work when i want. What would be the best route to go?
I hate not being able to be in my home airport because no one is hiring a beginner a&p w 2 years experience because I get out bid by older people moving or temporary staying there tpa has no jobs but always says there hiring
That sucks brother, you might end up having to take a job somewhere like Atlanta for a year or 2 and then try to transfer back home. Its weird what airports end up being hard to get into. San Antonio is that way its basically where all the old hats come to retire so getting hired here is very hard
Yeah, that was my bad, I set the camera too far away and had to zoom in to get my face centered. Once I transition to the hero 9 I will actually have a screen to view the shot before I record and that should help with setting up tremendously. Thanks for the tips.
There is allot I can't do tbh. But I have done a STOL kit and Gap Seals before on a 172. You are right it is very very involved. If you are serious about it send me an email at bryce137ap@gmail.com and we can discuss it further.
Here's a PSA for the virtue of a borescope... Poking around my Baron's engines, I found an exhaust valve that is starting to not rotate. A new rotator cap, and about 10 hours of running, I'll recheck. Probably may have saved me a few AMU's leaving the cylinder on. I have 12 of them, so the more preventive and non-invasive tests I can do the better.
I don't like pulling anything off an engine unless it's absolutely necessary. You can very easily create a future point of failure. The less invasive the better
cool video, lighting was fine. interesting to learn about the cylinders expanding in that way, i would think that the time the engine spends running cold would cause a lot of wear
It's not as much as you may think the diameter cold is something like 5.0005 at the bottom and 5.0000 at the top. Plus, aircraft engines cylinders are very hot compared to liquid cooled, usually 350° and liquid cooled will stay down around 220°
I really miss all the aviation I did with my Dad. I was one of the few that didn't become a pilot because I couldn't do 45 degree banks without vertigo. But for some reason because a nurse which is becoming more toxic and dangerous as time goes on. I want to do this. I can't say much you tells me frightens me but gets me ready. Plus I'd rather work in a male dominated field.
Hey I’ve applied to a tech school that offers a and p. To your knowledge are majors still hiring like they were a few months ago? And obviously you’re not a fortune teller but do you expect it to continue? Any answer helps thank you
They are, you are right I am no fortunate teller but. There is a large number of mechanics that are expected to retire in the next 5 years so I think the demand will keep up at least that long.
They've been flying since the late 40's.. Plenty of time (DECADES) to rack up fatalities. It's not inherently dangerous. Only big issue I know of when the V tails were shedding their tails in heavy turbulence, but that issue has been fixed.
"I care very much about aviation" Howard Hughes. The plan is to have a full sleeve on my other arm that has nothing to do with aircraft but tattoos are not cheap
I only made it 34 seconds into ur bad video before I turned it off. Total click bait title and no interest whatsoever in watching u order food. BORING!!!!!!!
Another instructor hot wired the starter to the main bus? That is incredibly dangerous and I hope students don’t have access to batteries to install without instructors oversight. I’ve seen a few stuck starter relays in my day and it makes me cringe when I see pilots leaning on the prop while another is in the cockpit dicking with the master.
I actually said it wrong. Upon further inspection, they just took the amp meter out of the system. When I first got in a noticed a 4 gauge wire hanging down I assumed the worst. I thought I had edited that out of the video but apparently I said it twice
