Flying Dundee
Добавлен 2 фев 2020
About me: Danny (Dundee) Williams. I have been around small airplanes all my life. Both my parents were pilots. In fact my first flight was in a 1956 Cessna 172 flown by my Father while my Mom held onto me. That was in 1961 and I was one year old. The first time I remember actually flying an airplane was when I was 10 years old. My Dad put me in the front seat of his 65Hp Aeronca Champ. I was 28 when I took my first formal flying. My log book shows that I had 2.3 hours of flight training when the instructor let me solo for the first time. This was a testament to how much time I had spent before then flying with my Dad and brother. I don't think any flight instructor would let that happen today, but I spent the next 3.3 hours solo, doing circuits at our local airport. My first airplane was a J3 Cub, then a Cessna 180 that I flew for 16 years. But the lure of a Cub never leaves you so I went back to a cub. Hope you enjoy the ride.
Off Airport Landing at Sunset Beach
With an allergy to paved runways seeking out beautiful off-airport places to land is a passion. Georgian Bay, Canada boasts some of the most spectacular sunsets in the world. To capture these moments by airplane is a real treat.

It's early spring in Ontario, Canada. Ski's are off but there is still a bit of straggling snow. We had an afternoon of playing at a friend's farm. Note the mud on the underside of the wings and struts. If you got off the snow, the mud was flying.
Ski Flying to a Friends Farm

It's a bit of a stretch to call it winter this year in Canada. Warm temperatures, lack of snow, and very little ice on the lakes may be just fine for those who dislike winter...But for those of us who embrace winter; skiing, boarding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, skating, and of course ski flying, it's been a disappointment. Nevertheless, we make the best of it. I took a morning flight to visit a...

I would re-angle that exhaust so that it is not cooking your bungee covers!! Beautiful Cub. She looks like a wonderful preformer!!
What a cool wing jig/hanger system. Nice job!!!
Video would be so much better with just airplane noise and no music!! Just saying.
The problem with these cubs is they just fly. This entire video shows a pilot trying to land. This plane hate landing so it just soars. .... but he does eventually land.
Nice to see GLDS again. A friend of mine used to own her.
Why dont you shut that stupid fu--king music off you f--king idiot?
I am surprised it doesn't damage the floats.
It certainly can if you are not careful, never on a gusty day. No real flare, I fly it onto the ground as slowly as possible. North Star stalls at 25. Thanks for you comment.
😎
Nice 1!
Thanks Mitchy
Your videos are always top notch. Great fun to watch. Great music choice, too!
Thanks for your comment and kind words, I'm glad you are enjoying them.
Spent nearly every weekend for 6 summers camping on Beausoleil Island as a kid in the early/mid 90s. Haven't had a chance to re-visit in nearly 30 years so I really enjoy seeing the area from the air in your videos. Seeing a float plane takeoff between the islands one weekend back then sparked my interest in aviation. One day I'd like to visit the area by air, until then thanks for sharing your experiences.
Thanks for your comment and kind words, I hope you make it back to the area someday. Happy flying.
May I suggest some explanation in the video on what's happening - eg. what's the take off speed, did he hit the truck, what are they discussing, are they in radio contact etc. Either by putting captions in the frame, or even better narrate it. And turn down the music - way down. 🙂
Hi Peter, thanks for your comments, and great suggestions. It's always nice to get some constructive feedback. We will be shooting another trailer takeoff this May and I will incorporate your suggestions. To answer your questions; the takeoff speed was 70 kts (normal takeoff for Cessna 180 is 55 kts, we can do this because the aircraft is positioned on the trailer with a much lower angle of attack than normal), although it may have looked like it, there was no chance of hitting the truck, we were discussing at what speed to lift off the trailer, I am in direct radio contact with the vehicle driver. Check out "Floatplane Trailer Takeoff - No Music for the version without music. Cheers.
@@flyingdundee43 Thanks. Really - 70 kts? It looked like half of that. Well, the music is okay as background filler, but low key unless you want to say something or drown something out with it. And perhaps better to turn it off or way down when relevant sound is at hand. I'll keep an eye out in May. 😊
Why only apply flaps at rotation speed?
Hello Ricardo, good question. On a normal ground roll you can accelerate faster without flaps. However this is not necessary for a trailer takeoff. But for trailer takeoffs the aircraft is positioned with a nose down attitude because liftoff is at a higher than normal speed (about 10 knots higher) and you don’t want the aircraft to start to float before reaching this speed. If you have flaps on during the roll you have a greater risk of moving on the trailer before you are ready to takeoff. So flaps are pulled on at rotation. However I have learned they should be pulled on more slowly than in this video due to the weight of a 180. Hope this answers your question. Cheers from Canada.
@@flyingdundee43 Wow, really interesting and makes perfect sense also seems quite fun. Thanks for the explanation and happy flying from Portugal!
I am from Uruguay, no pilot. I wonder if the aircraft controls respond normally when taking off this way, i e. speed indicator etc ?
Hello Ivan, thank you for your comment. Yes the aircraft controls and instruments operate exactly the same as they do during a normal takeoff. Cheers from Canada.😁
Great Video and love the music
Thanks for your comment Jay, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Seems like only yesterday when you were taking off the floats! Ah, well - I welcome spring!!
Smooth landings!
💪
😎
Great camera work.
Great video - thanks!
Great flying and editing. ✈️ 🎉 🎶Also wonderful music selection (once again :) 🎶 Who's the artist, and what's the song?
Hey Thom, thanks for your comments, glad you liked it. The song is called "Nothin to Win" by Roy Williams. Cheers.
oh when it settled after leaving the trailer, my heart skipped a beat.
Hi Jarod, thanks for your comment. The video made the sink look much worse than it was. Cheers.
@@flyingdundee43 That's good. I had flashbacks to learning to fly. In the midwest, we get used to flying with wind and lots of it. You'll have a gust one second that lifts you off the runway and then it goes away. I miss flying. Haven't flown in 15+ years.
very cool !
Those arial selfie stick pictures are amazing
Livin' the dream!

I guess I need to move to Canada 🇨🇦 😂
Sooo cool. Vr was achieved thanks to an f150 lol
Nice. Is that a ski area in the background?
Hi there, yes it is. It is the Blue Mountain ski area near Collingwood, Canada. Thanks for your comments.
Lovely.
Thank you
Like to see them try something like that with a PBY.
Buttery smooth. If you ever decide to puddle jump down to Puslinch lake, come say hi! I'll be on the dredging barge.
Will keep that in mind. I’ve flown into your lake years ago. Thanks for the comment
I didn’t know the flap trick.
Thanks for taking the time to do the engine sounds version. Super cool.
Great video. Thanks for posting
Glad you liked it, thanks
excellent ! I miss my float flying days
Where did you get the helmet?
Hi there, my helmet came from Skycowboysupplyco.com. I am very happy with it.
Nice landing on a grace , by the way flot plane converted on the amphibia plane .
Nice video and nice music. It is the best emotions when you between air and water . In the history the firstly commertial aviation started from amphibious and float planes. But my self priorities is the amphibious )))
Thank you for your comments, I’m glad you enjoyed the videos. I am a fan of amphibious aircraft too. Cheers.
Incredible!
So, this plane is... grassphibious 🫣
Loved watching the landing and was expecting a much longer run out if that’s what it’s called. Now in the spring, I’m assuming you somehow haul the craft to water or do you add wheels to the floats and leave the clover behind?
ruclips.net/video/HVqwEIWa5Y8/видео.htmlsi=RddAwqWd-Dg_f1UE Here is the reverse procedure for the spring. Thanks for your comment, cheers
rather hear the plane than the music... else nicely edited
Beautiful! But I would rather just listen to the wind and plane . Then I could be there and not some medication workshop . 😅
Love this ! Well done !
Beautiful! But just want to hear the plane .
Amazing work, I need to buy a drone 😂
Very impre$$ive
This is a favourite spot of mine too! I'm based not far from there
Nice, do you happen to fly skis in the winter? I want to gather a Gaggle of ski planes for a winter video.
@@flyingdundee43 Unfortunately no, the only undercarriage we have for the Citabria is the straight floats... I've been keeping my eyes peeled for a set of landing gear as it would be nice to fly it year round, but I literally need everything from the gear legs, shocks, wheels, brakes, pedals etc. My AME has a champ he had offered me some time on, but I don't think he has skiies for it either.... I'll ask him tomorrow tho
