I could listen to this guy talk all day.

@MrWATCHthisWAY 3 года назад

All great stories involve Pirates and this is no exception. I’ve never seen so many engineered design changes on one aircraft. This has to be one of your top five interviews and aircraft. You can spend more money but can you get the performance you desire, love the this STOL Swamp Monster! What a plane.... what an engineer!

@chrisjamison376 3 года назад

Thanks Bryan, I haven’t met Tony in person but on FB. As a new pilot at 54 he has inspired and encouraged me so much. A true promoter of aviation. Hopefully one day our paths will cross!

@angelreading5098 3 года назад

What a colourful character and a very clever one too,pushing the boundaries of add-on's to his great airplane that he really enjoys on a daily basis,there are not many pilots out there who can log 4 to 5 hours a day that is excellent untilisation for any machine. Love the unusual flaps and unusual additional elevators,note how everything is 'bolt on' meaning he can always revert back to how it was,this is a true experimental machine,more power to you Tony and many more happy days flying.

The Swamp Pirate who built the Swamp Monster is a very cool Dude, and innovator. Lateral Thinker 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It's really now a Woody Pusher sortoflookalike. Heck of a bird.

@riverrat4631 3 года назад

I told Tony for months to start a RU-vid channel. People needed to see we have back country flying east of the Mississippi. This man has forgotten more about airplanes and flying than the average Pilot will ever learn. He flys more time in a week for fun than a lot of Pilots do for a living. He makes a $20k Aircraft do more than these guys with $300k Carbon Cubs. This is what experimental Aircrafts are all about. Being at one with the machine. Congratulations Tony. I hope this helps gain you some subscribers. You deserve it buddy, And great interview Brain...

@theswampmonster4126 3 года назад

Your encouragement and support as well as from many others are truly what I owe this channel too. I would never have done this .otherwise, I would have just kept flying in my little neck of the world and enjoying myself.

@riverrat4631 3 года назад

The Swamp Monster people needed to hear your story. And they needed to see that you can do back country flying without spending $200-$300k. This interview only touched the surface of your flying experience. You need to do a Tony Zorn history video on your channel. I know people want to know more about the Pirate that tamed the Monster. I know there is a long history there. I’m happy your channel is growing so fast. You deserve it buddy..

@scotabot7826 3 года назад

That sounds nice and all, but there is NO WAY in Hello that that thing "out performs a Carbon Cub". You are in a Dream world my friend. The ONLY reason he "out performs a Carbon Cub", is because the people in those Cubs you're referring to, can't fly them. Again, nice story and all, but it's time to come back to reality!!! OK?

@theswampmonster4126 3 года назад

Scotabot re-read river rats post. He said the guy makes a $20,000 airplane outperform expensive $300,000 carbon cubs . He never said the cheaper plane has the performance of the carbon cub. But, I would love invite any of the carbon cub owners or pilots to come play in my sandbox. Would love to have them follow me around for a day. Even the most experienced Carbon cub pilots have an open invitation. 😎 It is a lot like aerobatics competition. You got a lot of pilots flying half million extras getting their tails handed to them by Little 30 and $40,000 pitts’s and one designs. Truly it is all up to the pilot. In a lot of cases. But, with all things being equal in the cockpit (pilots) an experienced pilot could make a carbon cub do more that the monster can, especially high altitude stuff. But there are very few carbon cub drivers that have the capability to match the monsters driver.

@riverrat4631 3 года назад

Scotabot if you use OK as a question that tells me all I need to know. Have a great day...

@LeftSeatAdventures 3 года назад

Sweet, that's putting the Experimental in Experimental! This is exactly what I imagined a Woody Pusher could be.

@FarmerTed 3 года назад

Great interview of one strange dude. Eye patch, pipe, and strange aircraft? Yep he’s his own man and I like it!

@wazzadog 3 года назад

That sums up experimental flying in 15m, Awesome episode :)

@trytolookbusy 3 года назад

This guy is really awesome! Tell the faa to leave him alone. He's doing a lot to promote aviation and innovation.

@DeadRoman 3 года назад

Is the FAA hassling him?

@alainlaflamme4051 3 года назад

cool guy he knows is stuff

@MrJdsenior 3 года назад

Certainly a BEAST anyway. That thing is NUTS...looks like fun. "I went to the local Aircraft Spruce and Specialties" company, otherwise known as Lowes" LOL This character looks like he's having way too much fun.

@hexdude24 2 года назад

I am from Vidalia and I know Tony. If you ever saw a plane doing crazy aerobatics above Vidalia you'd say "There's Tony." It's great to see you still flying.

@Mrsournotes 3 года назад

Wow, my new favorite mad scientist. Gotta play this back half speed to keep up with all of Tony’s innovations. Sure would love to have a cup of coffee with Tony. Off to liking “Swamp Monster.” Thanks Bryan!

@scotth985 3 года назад

For talking slow he goes pretty fast. Great interview.

@portnuefflyer 3 года назад

1100 hrs in 2 years. For those that don't know, that qualifies as A LOT, I only get on average 200, most get about 50 hours a year. You forgot one thing Tony, that lets a pilot get the most out of any airplane....lots of time in it, getting every bit of performance available out of it. You have the Monster totally wired.

@darnellcarver3987 3 года назад

Love the engineering ! Maybe some commercial manufacturers need to pay attention. I no longer have a medical, but who knows, that may change.

@pepelepew4117 3 года назад

Love it! I was wishing that you would've shown a close up of the tail wheel setup as he was discussing it.

@trytolookbusy 3 года назад

I've seen this tailwheel in person. Basically it's a regular tailwheel with a long axle and a extra wheel on each side.

@tomcoryell 3 года назад

I would like to see the tail wheel as well, thank you trytolookbusy for the description.

@Gaspedaleks 3 года назад

Check out this video from Tony, at around the 7:50 mark he shows the tailwheel setup :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ISC3DdhJsS8.html

@keepyourbilsteins 3 года назад

Crazy plane! Not my preferred style of flying, but mad respect for all the flying this man does and the mods he has put on his airplane. This is what experimental flying is all about.

@theodoroskosmidis9905 2 года назад

good job man

@cbshomebizplane 3 года назад

Wow that is almost what I am doing a lot of mods building my plane but I screwed up last week I tried to bend a tube with out a pipe bender buckled the tubing very expensive lesson to learn could have gone 30 miles to a friend and barrow his but wanted to save time, you know the old saying practice what you preach because if you don't it will bite you in the butt so now put me behind another two weeks. God bless you and see you on the next one.

@pastorrich7436 3 года назад

Great interview! You let him tell it like it is and that is greatly appreciated for those considering their next step in flying fun.

@millicentsquirrelhole582 3 года назад

Okay...there's Woody Pusher...check...but has Mr. Zorn met bushplanedesign's 'Double Ender'? that's a pusher and a puller...check out the YT Alaska vids of that twin engine job doin' som' amazin' flyin'...

Is John a Cygnet guy? I love mine and I would be interested in having him help me do some mods, like an engine mount for Rotax.

@walterbenson5275 3 года назад

What a breath of fresh air please don’t get hooked into the stol hags,I mean drags. What the hell are you trying to do,put the fun back into flying? Do you mean I don’t need to have two hundred thousand dollars for a bush plane ✈️. Let me introduce you to my friend Cory Robin!!!

@riedjacobsen8620 2 года назад

Nice interview! I've had a set of Pusher plans I dream over every once and a while to get some affordable fun flying. Was this built with wood frame or steel tubing? I understand the steel fuselage can manage 5 or 10 knots higher speed. Flying in northern IL, WI., I definitely would want to expand your canopy for winter flying. Any words of wisdom? I heard you put on a 90 hp engine. Any comment on the small Corvair engine for inexpensive power?

@ExperimentalAircraftChannel 2 года назад

You can find him on FB and VIMEO if you want to speak to him directly of course. This is a steel fuselage and wood wing design. Classic Airframe Construction. I believe the plans have suggestions for several different engines including Franklin. Not sure on the Corvair. But there have been talks of using the Corvair. The engine would be within the weight tolerances etc. Reach out to the family who is still selling the plans to discuss. Here is the video/interview with them: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3rjvbAiRIDo.html

@spyrosg3172 3 года назад

Great video. Man, I love your channel and the plane showcases that you do, but this is a bit of constructive (I hope) criticism: sometimes somebody will talk to you about something in the video, that you haven't framed in the shot. Usually you catch it and edit-in an image (or video clip) of it shortly afterwards, and that works fine, but sometimes you miss it, like the tailwheel in this case. It looks to me like your instinct is to always keep the person talking to you in the shot -- clearly a good idea! But a quick shot (or a wider shot) to include the item discussed, should help immensely. If there's something I'm missing, like a limitation of the camera or lighting etc, I apologize! Please keep up the good work!

@LSUtiger607 3 года назад

Couldn’t agree more

@scotabot7826 3 года назад

I'm kinda thinking Brian was a little too scared/worried to show the tail wheel on video. You know, some things are just better off not shown or talked about any further!!!!!!!!

@thesimplegig Год назад

Explain the glasses please

@krissfemmpaws1029 Месяц назад

Do you have a current contract for these people?

what's with the glasses? he has normal ones in his pocket. he reminds me of Ed Bassmaster's character Skippy

@1STGeneral 3 года назад

The woody pusher tends to make allot of noise? With all the helpers I'd imagine it sounds like a chuck wagon full of pots and pans on a rocky trail. His speech sounds like he may tend to bring a message from above from time to time can I get a amen thank you Lord for gravity so that one day you will break that bond and take us who call upon your mighty name in repentance come quickly Lord Jesus
