Don’t worry about the lack of flying content - any content with you guys “just mucking about with planes” is good content.

I love the idea of the Monster Shocks, but I don't think I can handle raising the nose any higher.

It’s crazy watching this video all this was done at the airport I’m currently training at

@williamferrigno3099 5 лет назад

Nice job Scott, I did the same with my experimental clip wing Cub, only I used Acme Black Ops shocks. Added 6 pounds over stock bungees but I gained 5 mph in cruise and best of all they make me look like I’m a much better pilot than I really am.

@ScottPalmerair 5 лет назад

That's great, The Black op has a nice small drag profile compared to my Monsters. I wish i gained cruise :)

Dats a bad boy! 🤘🔥🤘

@carlosserrano2488 5 лет назад

Congratulation Scott, the Kitfox 4 is looking great now with the upgrade, next I guess on your bucket list I imagine would be larger tyres and a bigger tailwheel ! Are you going to cover the Cabane gear with skins? A new paint job and you'll be all set........I'm glad that you are back posting videos!

@ScottPalmerair 5 лет назад

Thank you 😊 I installed a temporary larger tail wheel today. I would like to cover the gear legs with something, I just haven’t decided what yet

@righthandy6526 3 года назад

i like it--great work

@NileMcMillion 5 лет назад

Awesome Scott! Now you just need some JATO boosters and you'll have a Draco Slayer! Oh, and if you're not using those Grove gear anymore, I know a guy that's working on a Model 3 and could use them... Great work on the filming and keep the adventures coming! God Bless!

Killer set up looks like it really soaks up the rough landings, now you got to go test it on the Idaho gravel bars while the water is still low!

@ScottPalmerair 5 лет назад

I went looking today. But the water level is high everywhere I went

Where do you live? Love planes. With it so wet this year we had to get our peas crop dusted. They do amazing. I can watch them for hours.

@ginacalabrese3869 5 лет назад

Mike and Mark need to get you guys a Best Tug or two. It's extra advertising after all.

@ScottPalmerair 5 лет назад

That would be pretty sweet

@joshrichling464 5 лет назад

Looking good bro! You must have just finished the gear when you taxied by my hangar at KMAN (the one full of planes ) as you looped around to steve henrys and then disappeared. love to go flying with ya.

@ScottPalmerair 5 лет назад

That must have been just prior to doing the gear. Let's fly

@joshrichling464 5 лет назад

Anytime your at Nampa, just go to the tower grill and ask for the owner (Nate) he can put us in contact.

@RXRSawdustStation 5 лет назад

Nice mod!

@Damianthelovetour2024 5 лет назад

I bet this will help avoid ground looping and give more control on touch down

Will you be posting to your channel? I am in Flagstaff plotting my own SuperSTOL build (some day).

@petrokemikal 4 года назад

I have a soft spot for a Bird dog Cessna.. Would make a great hotrod bushplane with a few mods !!

@deankinch6328 5 лет назад

Looks great!!!! but you gotta do something about that tail wheel! :P Looks out of place now

@JohnDLeo-rg8tc 3 года назад

It looks great however i would be concerned that it was so difficult to install and that as you said the brackets on the plane were not square so is there any part of the new gear frame stressed out just because of the install problems?

@hotrodray6802 5 лет назад

YeeeeeeeereeHaaaaaaaaw!!!!!!

@maxradford5089 5 лет назад

Looks great. Now to change the tail wheel. Just looks so tiny.

@ScottPalmerair 5 лет назад

Hi Scott. Any chance next time you use that 45 deg angle air drill you could tell me the manufacture and perhaps the part number, thanks.

@oscarb9139 5 лет назад

What tires did you settle on? I couldn’t tell from the video.

@crazyflyer618 5 лет назад

Looks good/What tire pressure are you running ?

@ScottPalmerair 5 лет назад

6PSI

@paullaverty3038 5 лет назад

Scott at looks really cool I would like to know more about the gear cost where you got it and applications for tail wheel or craft the manufacture need to put some website or something in there for that thanks

@ScottPalmerair 5 лет назад

Cost is around 4k for that particular set up. Check out TK1racing.com Tony can make custom gear for anything.

Looks GREAT Scott. Tony & Jeff are working on my set for my KF4 now too. How's the breaks? I was planning 29" tires and not sure if my breaks will be enough.

@ScottPalmerair 5 лет назад

I will be upgrading my breaks as well, I need to win the lottery

@rayfletcher3683 5 лет назад

You guys probably already figured it out but changing the leverage at the master cylinder helps a lot. The master dosnt need to move very far so that gives you more pressure with longer pedal travel.
