What was so bad?

It is an always will be the right way!!! This roof will last 40 plus years an cost the same as your plastic roof they use now days! Trust me 12 years maximum life of new TPO OR EPDM roof!! Trash compared to what we use to do!!

@@shaunphillips1164 i do torch on , its good because it can be applied to Tar and gravel and can repiar 40 or 50 year old roof sinstead of completly ripping them. but yea tar and gravel can last forever, rubber and tpo are shit.

bullshit explain yourself

@@ajelicits3435if you you know even the first thing about proper BUR installation procedures would not even ask that ? I don’t have the time to itemize each and every flaw whether it be insall or safety missteps.

This is a really good comment, The slats do retract while in cruise, but this is not a really fast aircraft. I usually cruise around 90 knots, sometimes 100 but no faster than that. I would like to fly faster most of the time. Although that is a fairly common speed for this class of aircraft. It is bigger then a Cessna 172 and has more power and useful load but the speed is the same more or less. But that's where the comparison ends. I put wheels on in the winter, and I get off the ground between 100 and 200 feet, and landing in similar distances. This doesn't make much difference at an airport, but on a field or a small lake it is a big advantage. I spend most of the summer landing on small remote lakes, so it is important to me. But it could take 2 or 3 hours to get from southern Ontario to northern Ontario, and that"s a drag for sure. I was looking at a Seawind, it's pretty fast. but it needs a lot bigger lake to land in. Anyway your comment got me thinking a bit. You should check out the video that I put out, it's all about stol landing and takeoffs. ruclips.net/video/VlTBr66W49s/видео.html

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for watching

They were Go Pro 10s and Go Pro 3 on the wing. Adobe Premiere was used for the editing and color correction.

Hey Jason there are 2 wing tanks and 2 belly tanks, for a total of 79 US gallons. At 7 or 8 gallons per hour, I could possibly get 11 hours. But I would always be conservative and plan for 9 hours and a good reserve. Thanks for comenting.

Thanks for commenting

I don't think the Dynon ever shows zero but it is fairly accurate when flying and compared to the ground speed on Foreflight.

Thank you very much

Thank you very much, very nice compliments, I am happy that you enjoyed it.

Thank you for the nice comment, it really is a beautiful country. Most people don’t take the time to appreciate the north country in Canada.

Thank you very much

Thank you very much, Helaine did a great job shining it up. And I love it.

Thank you very much. We were having a lot of fun and I was glad to share it.

@Scotts_Outdoor_Channel looking to do get back to the North, been a good 20 yrs. Having a plane like that has always been a dream, 4x4 pickup camper for now, all the best 🇨🇦.

For sure it is not hard with the Levitation, but I think other airplanes with a gross weight of 2500 Lbs. it would be more risky I think. Anyway you have been flying a Levitation for a while now, so you know what it can do. This is my first season with it and I am impressed with it for sure.

@@Scotts_Outdoor_Channel and your doing a great job !!

You are quite right thanks for the advice.

How well do the VG's work for you, I have always been interested in them, and wondered if they would add to my lift performance.

Thank you very much. We were having a lot of fun and I was glad to share it.

Thank you very much. We were having a lot of fun filming and working with Premiere to produce it, and I was glad to share it.

I believe she felt that she was too old, but I am not sure, she built it in 2011 and only had 213 hours on it when she sold it to me. I have 351 on it now, that's 135 in a year and a bit, and I didn't fly much this winter, so I might fly a fair bit but she didn't fly hardly at all.

Thank you very much

Thank you very much. We were having a lot of fun filming and working with Premiere to produce it, and I was glad to share it. My friend Dave up at Spy Lake owns a Stinson from 1947, it's a pretty cool aircraft.

@@Scotts_Outdoor_Channel { Stinson Station Wagon, had a fixed wing-slot, reg. C-FHKT, tail dragger, could be vintage ‘47.?

Thank you very much

I have tried to get Jake up for a flight but he never follows through with the plan. Karen has been up a number of times, she has enjoyed it for the most part. She was a bit nervous about going to Killarney lake because i told her there was no cell service. I told her we could walk out if we had to, but she saw the mountains all around it and though it would be impossible. But once she got there she was blown away by the beauty of the place and forgot all about her worries of a breakdown.

Thank you very much for the kind word.

Yes you are quite right about that, the Highlander (which is a phenomenal plane) will get off the ground in about 20 feet with a good headwind, and it probably weighs 1300 Lbs max.. It is a very light aircraft built for STOL and it is on wheels, fairly low friction with the ground. The Levitation Is a lot heavier plane at max it weighs 2500 Lbs. It can get off the ground on wheels in 100 feet on a good day. The water on the other hand creates a lot of friction and the floats have to get up on step, or hydroplane on the water before it can build up enough speed to rotate. That typically is 47 knots and can happen anywhere from 250 to 500 feet depending on the day and the temperature, the colder the better. I hope that helps Scott

@@Scotts_Outdoor_Channel Thanks you are 100% correct.Only the Heliocourrier would bea any 4 seaters in STOL performance.

Thank you very much, where was your cottage? I have a cottage in Sauble Beach and I used to hang out with a guy that lived in Manitoba when I was young, back in the 60s and 70s.

@@Scotts_Outdoor_Channel Cottage was at Malachi along the CN main line about 50 mi west of Kenora.

I looked up Malachi, it is pretty remote, and hard to get to, I bet the fishing was really good. It must have been a great summer place.

@@Scotts_Outdoor_Channel I was raised in Wpg. and got there by train as there were no roads. That has changed. I haven't been back in 30 years and now reside in Panama central america.

Thank you very much

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much, very nice compliments.

Is that an American Champ? that's cool, I would like to see that some time.

Thank you very much, I agree.😎

Thank you very much, It was a lot fun filming those shots.

Thank you very much, I just got my pilots license last year, I was 65 it's not too late. I really couldn't afford it when I was younger ether, or I would have done it a long time ago. I watched your video flying the hang glider, that was really cool and a bit scary, particularly the takeoff just over the trees. I did a bit of hang gliding when I was young back in the early 80's. Before my frontal lobe had developed. 😅 It was fun, and you looked like you were having a lot of fun in your video. Take care and thanks for commenting. Scott

LOL I am glad you liked it, but sorry I can't promise to not post anymore videos. As a mater of fact, I plan to post a new one tomorrow, and you may like it because all the shots include the wing view showing the plane settling down on the water.

I think you are right about that. So you live in New York state? Do you fly?

Glad you enjoyed it

I stand corrected, all these years Americans have come to Canada to fish with us and have called the fish Walleye and we have always called them Pickerel. When I read your comment, I looked it up, and this is what I found on Google; Both are freshwater fishes found in Canada and North America. In Canada, the walleye is locally called a pickerel, which adds to the confusion. However, although the walleye may be called pickerel in some parts of Canada, walleye and pickerel are not the same fish.... So as you can see my confusion, we in Canada have been calling Walleye Pickerel all of my lifetime anyway. From the pictures on the article, the fish I have been catching are Walleye and not Pickerel. So thank you, I will not be calling them Walleye any longer.

That's great info, I will check that out, at least for the inside cameras, that might be a bit tricky for the outside cameras. I would like to power them with a battery that last longer. The GoPros are not that reliable.

​@@Scotts_Outdoor_Channel I forgot to say the battery trick only works when you have an external mic hooked up to it, like your headset at 18:52. The outside cameras won't need a mic hooked up of course. I don't know how you could get an outside camera to last longer using an external battery. Haha. That would require the camera and the battery to be mounted somewhere on the outside...

I would need a commercial license to do that and then it wouldn't be a hobby anymore. 😏

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it, it was a lot of fun to film & make.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it, it was a lot of fun to film & make. Are you a fellow pilot?

Thanks for the comment, It is a dream to fly.

That is an interesting aircraft, I had not seen that one before. Looks like a tough bird. The Zenith Aircraft company makes a plane much like mine, but much lighter, can't care the weight I do.

I didn't say I knew how to spell, I just know how to fly an airplane and a few other things.🙃
