This channel is just me posting things I enjoy. Mainly, mountain bikes, motorcycles and airplanes. It's a fun way to document my hobbies for family and friends, and if someone else stumbles on it and gets inspired or entertained, awesome. Thanks for stopping by.
First time spins in a Citabria - 3rd Flight Lesson in 2021
Spins and falling leafs are not required maneuvers for your PPL in the U.S. I just wanted to see what they felt like.

Northern California Mountain Flying in a Sport Cub S2
Просмотров 142Месяц назад
Video from 2021 flying with dad over Philbrook Lake and the mountains of Northern California in his Cub Crafters Sport Cub S2. This was the plane we flew while building the Kitfox, and it's living somewhere in Kansas now. It was a really fun airplane.

RAW video from a few of Lake Tahoe's prime trails. No real edits here, just a single POV from a great day of biking. And helping a kid and his dad who went off the edge of the Flume Trail! Great trip with great friends.

Kitfox Landing Practice (with only one camera angle)

The only way to learn the plane is practice. I'm still a bit off on my sight picture, skipping it a bit on touch down. One step at a time.

An Afternoon in the Motor Glider: Shutting Down the Engine in a Perfectly Good Airplane
Hi Jason, congratulations to both of you for the successful project. Taking a photo next to your plane would be an honor.
looks top
What's the preferred Kitfox forum out there, if any? I want to dig for some info. Thanks.
@@lovetopew9054 The only one I’ve seen is teamkitfox.com. There’s also an active Facebook group.
What engine did y’all put in it
@@parkerdickens94 It has the Rotax 915is.
I love the kitfox, keep postin
What sort of content would you like to see of the Kitfox?
I have never seen flaps like those. Looks like they could even provide lift.
Hi Marc, they're called flaperons. They act as both the flap and aileron. And you are correct, they provide more lift and not as much induced drag as a standard flap design. Takes a while to get used. They're really responsive but you can't just add flaps and drop it in with a high rate of descent. At least in my experience. I find myself using a flatter approach in the Kitfox, or slipping it if a steep approach is needed.
Wow that is THE most beautiful Kitfox I’ve seen by a mile!! Congrats, what a paintjob!
Thank you for the comment! Much appreciated.
Nice! I'm outa KLHM with a RANS S-21... Hope to see you around sometime.
Awesome, I'll probably be down there within the next month to see Tony at TK1. If I see an S-21 I'll stop in.
Gorgeous build
Thanks!
No reason to be wearing that mask
You're correct. But Justin is a professional test pilot who uses that helmet every day. The comm is built into the mask. He doesn't want to buy a second helmet just for the days he doesn't need oxygen. It definitely looks funny in a bush plane!
@@Jason-Black someone should start a gofundme for an extra helmet for him, those masks are not comfortable 😂
...Stig!
@@niewiadomoco2236some say he wears his helmet and mask to bed.. we know him as stig.
Mask is stupid
This plane is the best looking Kitfox, Im from South Africa and am busy building a Rans S-7, would love to do a similar paint job than yours, ofcourse with your permission.
Thanks for the compliment. No permission needed! We all get ideas from other places. Best of luck with the Rans build - those are great airplanes.
man...I want the RC version of this exact one. Give me a 69" wing span model please.
That would be cool to see!
Looks good.
So cool, Jason!! Glad to see you guys up flying! Congrats on completing Phase 1!!
Thanks John! Hope you get your Kitfox back in the air soon.
Cool! Don’t buzz any houses for an “inspection pass” in that thing. 😅
If I have an invite, all bets are off 😁
@@Jason-Black: An invite? To violate regs? Okay 👍
Trent is a friend. Just having fun with you. Cheers.
@@Jason-Black: I love Trent’s videos. He seems like a really cool guy. I’m just having fun too. 😅
That paint is stellar, well done guys.
Thanks, it was a lot of work but we’re happy with how it turned out.
