The untold struggles to make it to #AirVenture last year in newly built aircraft.
Proudly associated with ForeFlight: www.foreflight.com/flightchops
Mike Patey and I discuss the various challenges we had completing our experimental aircraft builds and flying them to AirVenture 2021.
This year at #AirVenture 2022, a freshly painted FlightChop’s #VansAircraft RV-14 will be on display at the #Lycoming booth, be sure to stop by!
We’ll be giving away 2 flights this year at #AirVenture 2022!
A #VansAircraft RV-14 ride along - and, AeroLEDs has offered to send a FlightChops guest up for an Epic flying experience with the AeroShell Aerobatic Team!
Follow FlightChops social media and visit flightchops.com/contest/ for forthcoming details on how to enter to win these flights.
Don’t forget to drop by Van’s Aircraft’s booth at AirVenture - they’re celebrating their 50th anniversary. We’ll be giving away the flight in the Van’s Aircraft RV-14 at the show and I’ll be in and out for meet and greets - my schedule and details will be available closer to the date.
Productions like this wouldn't be possible without the help and support of my Patron’s. I want to thank all of you for your ongoing support!

FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.

This one really stokes the fire. I'm amazed at the thought that you, Mike, myself and thousands of others are planning to fly to OSH this year in planes we have BUILT. I'm finally part of the clan! Still sinking in... but I'm busy planning the flight, studying the NOTAM, practicing low/slow flight and spot landings and reconfiguring my camping gear for the aircraft. Don't want to jinx it; just staying focused and striving for success. Also can't wait to see the RV-14 in the Yellowbirds livery, before and at OSH. See you there!

My stick time is limited (Citabria, RV-6). Sticks are telepathic: you don't move the stick, you just think what you want the plane to do and it does it. I didn't make any Oshkosh plans this year - needed to renew my passport first - but 2023 is very much on the table. My Musketeer was at Oshkosh in 1999. High time I did something about that.

@clarencewiles963
@clarencewiles963 2 года назад
What was the flight home like after the prop balance? After seeing the shop do the work and the very tight tolerance that’s what’s used I’m thinking about your flight home. This balance was also doing the engine adding to it. Thanks again for your work and posting.
@FlightChops
@FlightChops 2 года назад
The airplane was already really smooth, so I honestly barely noticed it; but this lines up with what Hartzell said as far as the main reason for a dynamic balance is to remove harmonic resonances that could be damaging components, even if outside the realm of being detectible in the seat.

Somebody PLEASE explain to me why so many of these aircraft (I’m currently referring to the RV-14 in the video) have a center control stick, but the throttle is placed so that the pilot has to hold the stick in the wrong hand. I suppose if I had one of these aircraft I could always rearrange the panel a little and fly it from the right seat like a helicopter.
@FlightChops
@FlightChops Год назад
I like flying right hand stick, left hand throttle best for sure... But at the end of the day, if you want to be able to fly a lot of things, you need to be ambidextrous. That said, as you mentioned, the simple solution is that you can fly an aircraft set up like the RV-14, from the other seat.
