Today I made three runway taxi test. I recorded a little of the last one from the taxi way. I need to make a better one, but for the first try, it's alright. Just short.
Wow! I have been waiting for that last clip of that run down the runway. It looks soo good. Can't wait to see it rise and retract the gear!!!!! Take your time and do it right. I'll be watching.
As your climbing in the cockpit an hour before Sunset nice gentle wind coming right down the runway. Give Susie Bella a salute and tell yourself, I done good.
It's really nice to see that beautiful thing running down the runway! It also sounded really good! You're definitely getting closer and closer to taking her for her maiden flight.
Don i have been watching your videos since you have started building the Corsair. You have done a Beautiful job. I fly rc jets and planes and I have a Corsair with the same paint scheme. Can't wait to see the first flight
She looks great coming up. Regarding that possible leak, maybe in true Corsair fashion, yer gonna need some sealing tape on the nose to add another level of sexy to the bird. haha. As far as comments, maybe most folks don;t know this ain't your first home built and that you are a licensed pilot with flying hours. You continue to do your own thing.
Looks great, getting closer to the finish line. I'm east of Cleveland if I know when the flights are scheduled possible drive to Port Meadville only 92 miles away. 😎
@@Dynodon64 Well, yeah, it's 3 weeks into May and the coldest overnight minimum I've seen this year so far is +2.5° C...; and Winter is supposed to start in a week. When I was a kid, the last Frost-free Morning used to be ANZAC Day, 25 April, the anniversary of D-Day for Australia's 9-month effort to invade Turkey, in 1915...; every year, ANZc-Day was the last clear Blue-Sky morning before we used to have to fill the Kettle and drain the Water pipes every night before bed, least they freeze and burst at night..., for the last month of Autumn till after the first month of Spring. Last weekend I drained my Firefighting Waterpumps, after a +4° minimum, and the +2° followed that - making me feel almost virtuous In 1999 I burned at least a thousand litres of LPG in my Car, 30 in my Kitchen Stove, plus about 200 Litres of Petrol in the Chainsaw and Brushcutter...; and every litre seemed to me to be "justified" at the time... But now that I've spent $27,000 on Firehoses, Pumps, Pipes, Nozzles, Towers, Sprinklers, Storz-Fittings, Tanks and Water, since 2018...; then every time I think about how much Fossil Carbon I emitted back then, which caused today's weirdly overheated weather - then the more I question my own decisions. Probably 500 Litres per year went into driving around busking Green-Extremist Poetry at Markets and Festivals, advocating for reducing Environmental Destruction. When I stopped running around Rhyming at the CitiZenry..., M own personal annual Atmospheric Fossil-Carbon Emission-Footprint almost halved... So at this point I can only hope that the worst of the Extreme Weather sort of Goes around the Endangered Species Sanctuary Upon which I've paid the Council Rates since 1990...; having half the Trees in the Forest die of thirst in the 2018-2020 Drought was a bit of a shock - but at least I wasn't burned-out, kinda thing. The Algorithm has been feeding me lots of Tornado & Storm-Damage Clips..., but I dunno if they're re-uploaded edits of old footage, compilations, or the result of an actual spike in Anomalous Storm Damage This year as compared to statistical "normality". I'm fresh out of ideas as to how better to cope with the effects of burning more Fossil Carbon, so now I spend a lot of time and money figuring out ways to burn less of it. What a pity that everything I buy needs to be manufactured, using Fossil-Fuelled Technology, and Transport..., in the long run it looks as if we might need to go back to living in a traditional manner, as it was before the Sheep & Potato Brigade arrived ; what a pity that the necessary Ecology to live that way, no longer exists (!) - even if anybody still knew how to do it. It's a worry. Off I go, now, to cut Firewood from drought-killed Trees in Oz..., using a Solar-Charged Electric-Chainsaw made in Sweden..., the Battery came from Poland, the Charger was made in Vietnam and the Solar Panels came out of China - but my Houselighting Batteries are Oz-manfactured Lead/Acid Golf-Cart 6-Volt 225 A/Hr units... It's beyond my imagination as to what the actually correct thing to do might be, at this point ; other than trying not to add to the Atmospheric Concentration of CO-2 more than I "have to", least the consequences beat my Fire-Hose Collection (!). Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !
@@OttoByOgraffey Experimental Aviation is all about being patient and thorough. "There are old pilots and There are bold pilots but there are no old, bold pilots."
I'm not a pilot. I've never flown a plane. However, you seem to have some trepidation in flying this plane. I'm volunteering to fly it for you. No worries.
@@Dynodon64 I think soon you'll be doing a high speed taxi on the runway and you will feel it's time and give it another 500 rpms and take off, fly around for a while then land perfectly on the center line. Just wish someone will be there to video it.
I don't think you need to be Chuck Yeager, to know this isn't safe! I hope he never flies this rattletrap! I don't want to read an obituary here! I actually care!
@Dynodon64 I will! I'll be posting a video this afternoon. I'll prolly need some advice on finishing the fuse. Right side is done, left will be in a week or two.. then the next challenge lol.
