I think a single video is a better format especially if both videos are published at the same exact time. Beautiful plane, great video. Dana sounds like a chill dude. Whens the merch store coming? I want an official Skywagon plaid shirt.
Magnificent beast. My light aircraft experience is limited to a B36 Bonanza in a flight from Melbourne to a tiny outback town called Pooncarie in NSW Australia. It was 40° C up there.
Two or one video is fine for me both. If you continue the two video format, I'd love to see a more cruise performance/handling part in the flying video. Great content as always, greetings from a 206 pilot in Belgium!
This! I always hunger for more flying in almost all of your videos Mark, because around the pattern doesn't tell enough of the story. For most of these great planes you talk about, a run around the patch doesn't show what they are built for. I do respect that these are other people's airplanes, however.
I own a '69C and love it. It will make mid to high 140kt TAS on between 10 and 11 gph. It's had mods to cleanup the airframe and it will actually make book numbers. Just went into annual yesterday.
Watched both video's , awesome details - Thanks Mark / in the late 1960s- 68-69 maybe - my Father sold his 182 * that was under powered- lousy radio's / badly faded paint & wanted a Mooney badly / however he let the family vote on it - as little kids we couldn't see well because of the low wings , ended up with another 182 - had a 200 hp Franklin engine - pitch prop nice paint -we all loved it - but my favorite plane to fly on Flight Simulator is the Mooney !
Nice. I had a 1989 based in Texas and easily handled east and west coast travel. Fast, relatively comfortable, and pretty much bulletproof. Served me well. Don’t know how new avgas will work though. No longer flying.
Nice review. Well done, as always. I agree with Saml01 about the single video format. Since you are making the videos, I'm appreciative of whatever you drop on RU-vid.
I have no preference between the one or two part video. I'll watch them both. One comment, if you decide to keep the separate video format, it might be interesting to see some more flying content than just the pattern. Maybe MCA, stall break, Vx, Vy, etc.
Mark i sure you do a video on that Skycatcher you have listed. I Purchased one in 2015. Only had 94 hours on it then when I sold it in 2021 I had 850 hours on it. Loved that little plane. Although they are a little floaty in ground effect they are great little run around planes. Super efficient on fuel and pretty sporty, I’ll call it the SS super sport version of the Cessna 152, at 172 speeds. They got a bad rap from being assembled in China but 90% of the crap we have is assembled in China.
@@skywagonuniversity5023 Perfect. Can’t wait I was actually going to come in a few months ago if you ever get a “fly catcher” in be sure and take it for a spin. The only complaint I had was the airflow inside. Those little Wentz have the air flow of a McDonald’s straw.!! I took it to Conroe Texas, which is about an hour south of me and head twisties put in the side windows
Single is good, but 2 videos is better if the flight includes a performance run showing power settings and fuel burn for high speed cruise…great work! Love your vids either way 😊
Stunning aeroplane, such a fast, long legged single engine machine 👍✌️💜 Thanks for sharing. If doing a go around, would one have retracted the speed brakes after the second stage of flaps, or if one goes to take off flap setting (after Eg 2-3 stages) are the speed brakes linked and thus retract for a go around 🤔🤔
Speed brakes are totally manual. It would go around with them out of you had to but retracting them as it lands is the best idea if you used them at all.
I figured mooney just likes 80mph (70kts) when crossing the threshold. Any other number it won't land beautiful. Too fast, it floats, too slow, it slaps on the ground
