Gyro river run - Magni M-16 Gyro low run through a canyon
I have one AV-30 and was going to put in a second one, but after stumbling across this SuperECO I just might do what you have and have an auto-pilot too. You don't find that the SuperECO need a trim tab on the rudder as well? The two trim tabs work just fine to find straight and level flight? Thanks.
My plane doesn’t require rudder trim for 99% of cruise flight. Every once in a while I may need to apply slight pressure due to a certain cross wind, but I have not found that to be a burden at all. I have installed a second AV30+AVLink so I could have Heading+traffic right in my primary scan. Every plane is different.
Ne uçuş ama. What a fhligt
Amazing flight!!! Looks like some great swimming spots along that river. This is really great footage
I already have servo controlled trim tabs on all 3 control surfaces. Hoping the autopilot will integrate with them.
Can you contact me about this auto pilot?
I noted the eco shows the same indicated airspeed as the av30. How does it do this using only gps?
Both instruments are using the pitot/static lines in the airplane, so they should read the same indicated airspeed. Thanks for watching!
beauty
My RV6 already has servos that control aileron, elevator n And rudder trim tabs. Could I just use those instead of installing these trim tabs and servos?
Lovely video. I'd be really interested to see longer videos from you from the lake Tahoe / Sacramento area. I always love seeing this area from high up. Some slower shots with less editing would be great. Thanks.

How long was that detour
It added about 30 min to my trip. Well worth it!
I played it back at 1.5X speed. My RV is fast, but not that fast!
Hey Chris! I really enjoy your perspectives as you add a nice bit of poetry to the experience. Well done! Keep up the great work..
Europa video is next, promise!
Awesome experience... That 360 camera gives you so many options as a content creator. Which one are yiou using?
I upgraded to the X4 since I lost my X2. 😢
@ i am still using an X1, so i am thinking of upgrading to X4 with a mic adapter.
The resolution details are much improved.

Awesome!!!👌🇨🇦😎
The predecessor buttercup just about went into production as a fairchild. WW2 for in the way
A month to take the engine out? A few coffee and biscuits breaks in that time I'm sure.
Great video
Great video
The W-10 is an absolutely spectacular airplane
This one in particluar!
If I ever get a workshop I’m building one from plans
They are a fantastic platform.
Looks like a lot of fun!
Every gyro flight is fun!
Your video is very spectacular. That's really great.
Thanks!
Very nice RF
Great video! How is maintenance & finding replacement parts? What would happen if you found wood rot? Could you get it repaired?
Very nice Vid!
A properly rated pilot could still depart IFR, just can’t land IFR, correct?
Isn't that were that child was raped and murdered. Why fly there. Better to go out of California. It's the anus of America now
Gorgeous! And what a day and night difference from the air traffic controlling we used to do :)
I hope you and your family are doing well!! I miss the people…
Very cool adventure! Your video productions just keep getting better and better… I like the diversity of your interviews and locations.
Thanks Kim! Starting the work on the next one...you will like it!
Well done video. Lots to be careful about, but lots of adventure factor.
Very cool airplane.
Promo'SM 🤣
Ok, difficult to fly. Needs tons of runway and higher skills. Nice video, wonderful airplane!
Definitely not for a novice…and a lot of tailwheel time is important!
What a find, as a boy growing up in San Antonio and visiting stinson field on my bicycle, I remember a hanger with 3 of these kit planes being built. I talked with the guy that was building them on several occasions, definitely my favorite. Fred French
Nice production Chris! Glad to see you’re featuring really special aircraft. The Whitman is one of Jim Rust’s (of Whirlwind Propellers) favorites. That speaks well to the design.
Great video!
Met JC a few years back. What can I say 3 words. A Class Act!
It's beautiful, but I can do without the music. The sound of waves crashing is more relaxing to me.
Glad you enjoyed it. Music is always a balance and I appreciate your feedback. Duly noted for the next one.
I never met Kit, but know the plane from so long ago when it shared a hangar at UC Davis with a friend of mine. It is an absolute work of art. I'm very pleased to see it wound up in good hands. Thanks for sharing this video.
I want a RC replica!!!!! @Horizon Hobby are you listening lol
Your right that is one dangerous flight the sights were beautiful thou
That's one cool little plane
How cool would it be if you could fly with the cockpit open, like you can with an Ercoupe?
Awesome...
Bravo.perfect. go ahead
Nice video Chris. Both of those planes had very interesting stories, well told and filmed. Yes please on another video with the builder. 👍✈️
My wife was in love with this beautiful bird and used to tease Kit about selling it to her. It still looks fantastic, just like we remember it. Two votes for a chat with Kit.
Almost 39mpg! lol
Tailwind!
Nice plane.
I remember when Fred Weavers kids had it for sale a couple years ago. Hated that I didn't jump on that purchase at the time.
