Half throttle takeoff? Mistakes made First Time Soloing the Lancair Columbia 300 

What was the scariest mistake you've made while flying?

I really appreciate your willingness to talk about and explain your mistakes in flying. It helps out future pilots a lot by leaning some lessons ahead of time. Keep up the awesome videos 👍

You survived and learned a lesson. I took off with flaps full down after a touch and go once. Thankfully the runway was 10k ft so there was room for error and thanks to tactical editing it’s not in my video 😂. I do plan on making a video about it though so maybe others can learn from my mistake. I love the channel btw!

Отличное видео, красивый самолёт, и приятно видеть русскоговорящих пилотов в штатах.

Dude that's sick

Just found your channel today, thanks for making your start to finish video about getting your private certificate! It was awesome to see that you used Greenville aviation, I had no idea when I watched your video you were also in SC. I'm down in Columbia and I've been thinking about getting my private cert for about 6 years and just haven't pulled the trigger yet. After watching that video I've looked at training in Columbia with eagle aviation at Owen's field, or maybe going up to Greenville since they looked like a really awesome school from your video. I also couldn't help notice you had a red hat shirt on in that video, I'm working on an MS in Comp Sci at the moment at USC. I'd love to pick your brain if you still read the comments!

You had me holding my breath at 4:30 😳

I am de captain now 😂

I wanted to learn flying

That aircraft is sexy!

Я тоже Руский и летаю как студент в Вашингтоне

You have a tough decision to make, bro - stop making mistakes and be safer, or continue like you did this time to create more exciting videos. It's your choice, but remember that your subscribers like a little excitement while we watch you fly! 😉

What's the TAS at altitude?

Do you have a nervous tendency to twitch your hands? lol
