Aerobatics over Mountains and Glaciers in Alaska
Tested out a new camera/gimbal platform I'm building for air-to-air and scenic filming from fixed-wing airplanes...the 'cub cam'. Can't wait to put it to use and shoot more content like this!

Excited to hear your thoughts and responses ;) I work with Alaska Gear Company on various media projects, but these are all of my honest thoughts and experiences. Enjoy!

Devil's Canyon TEASER - Flowstate S2 Ep.1
Super cool
Looks like a 7GCBC with 8GCBC gear great combo
God bless the algorithm - this is supreme
Fun times!! 😊
A superb cinema-graphic experience! Thank You
Sweet!
Killer 🤙
Whew! Beautiful video shots!
Like to see the taylorcraft on the 29's.
Sorry if I just didn't catch it in the video; what kind of rack did you install? Is it custom or pre-fabricated?
Agree on all points, plus 35s just look so sick!
No doubt! 31s look tiny after having 35s haha
Ñ 🐀💎
Epic!
Mind blowing!! Best aviation footage on RUclips Brendan!! Keep it up man!!
Best aviation footage on RUclips! You should come down to the Andes too
The footage is insane
Taylorcraft's are nice planes, I just wish the cockpit was bigger
Брендан, желаю успехов вашему каналу! Видео шикарные!
Good stuff man!
Dude. Blown away....only channel I've seen with better shots than Trent palmer, you're gonna be huge.
Totally speechless about how superb those FPV/ drone footages are! The best aircraft drone shoot I've ever seen
Dude! Congrats on the beautiful video! Stunning work.
Very nice.
Thanks. I fly an Avid Flyer myself. Only skis and floats here in northern Sweden. But I still got a lot out of your movie.
Great video, filming, and story telling. How do you get back to your aircraft after kayaking?
Two planes, leave one at the bottom and take the other to the top
Does the increased angular momentum make landing on paved strips more difficult?
That I can't honestly answer because I've never landed on pavement with bushwheels... got to love Alaska haha!
NUMBERS
What was the difference is cruise?
What’s a “pretty small” weight penalty. Dude, we need some numbers!
Normal tread 31"=32lbs. Heavy tread 31"=36lbs. 35"=44lbs. 6" wheel=10.8lbs 10" lightweight 10650 wheel=9.6lbs So I basically added 16 LBS TOTAL going from my old heavy tread 31" tires w/ 6" wheels to 35" tires w/ 10" wheels.
When you sank, the issue is how many PSI you run.
Dont think so.... the wet gravel bar/sand/mud was the issue there
The problem is this stuff is overpriced by huge margins, the tires are not expensive in fact this type of tire has historically been the cheapest tire to produce but they are marked up 200 X because they know pilots will pay it.
A Pacer isn’t a “capable” bushplane. It has a short wing with a high stall speed, weak gear and no elevator authority. It’s not made designed for backcountry flying.
I guess all those people using them as bushplanes just don't know any better.
Cool plane! How many years of flying up there you think it took for you to start doing some of that harder backcountry flying?
Took me 4 years before I was doing 'harder" backcountry flying. And a lot of flying basically all backcountry in those 4 years...
@@BrendanWells wow that’s humbling to know as an East Coast tricycle gear paved runway pilot 😅 truly continual learning and look forward to coming up to Alaska for some exposure. Thanks for sharing!
This is Epic!
I’ve got a BC-12. What is the paperwork and cost like for putting bush wheels on an aircraft? I hear it requires an STC.
I think you can get the STC for like $50. If you buy new bushwheels they come with the STC. We just put 29" bushwheels on our BC-12 and they are awesome!!
Awesome, sounds great! Thanks so much!
Good stuff man!
Love the beach shots.
Great content man!
Great video, 👍 for both the 35's and 6" gear.
What's your cruise speed penalty with 35' over the 31'?
I only lost a few mph
What's your cruise speed at 75%?? With 35".
Maybe shoulda went with the 35’s!
Looking forward to what you have in the works.
Incredible footage
Epic 🔥
Great! Really interesting info about the wheels and how that work!
Amazing work 🔥🔥
Nice dude!
Awesome video! The picture quality and angles are perfect. Keep posting, I love watching your videos.
Stunning...can watch this great footage for hours. Happy to find your channel.
My man... You have mad Drone skills.. Accolades to you
