Hops and Coaster Drops beer festival - and an IFR flight to get there

A friend invited me to a really cool beer festival called Hops and Coaster Drops held at Indiana Beach amusement park. It made for a fun day of of flying, roller coasters, and beer. It doesn't get much better than that!
The weather was supposed to be clear skies all weekend, but when I woke up that morning the weather had changed and we had to file an instrument flight plan to get there - no biggie. Thanks to Andy for picking us up and giving us a place to stay.

Instrument Approach Practice

Просмотров 81814 дней назад

My instrument currency was running out. I haven't had much reason to keep it up this year, but I need to get back some proficiency so I made an effort to get some practice in. I'm glad I did - the challenge was enjoyable and it's good to knock the rust off. This video is for flying geeks that like to watch instrument approaches (which correlates to paint drying), but I did get in a bit of talk ...

Flying the WORLDS LARGEST quarry

Просмотров 17628 дней назад

I'm experimenting with ALL CAPS in the title because I hear that makes you cool. But, I also included too many shots of the sun in the edit so that should make me not cool again. We did a really fun paramotor flight around Rogers City, Michigan. The beach flying was tons of fun (and the people seemed really friendly - they all waved as I flew by), and we got to check out the world's largest lim...

Landing Practice

My landings needed some improvement so I decided to dedicate some time to make them better.

Wind turbines and little parachute guys (fun paramotor flight)

Просмотров 3082 месяца назад

We had a fun flight in Hillsdale around the local wind turbines, and did a silly parachute drop. Flying under part 103 allows for some fun flying. I got myself a new microphone and a selfie stick so I could try a two camera edit of a paramotor flight. This was going to be a test of the new setup with the possibility of posting it if the flight was fun and everything turned out well. There are a...

I Had a Paramotor Abnormal

Просмотров 6963 месяца назад

A few years ago I made what seemed like an innocent mistake, which was actually a very foolish mistake that turned my fun after work flight into more of an adventure than I wanted. This flight was somewhere around my 5th flight by myself after paramotor training. So I was definitely a newbie to paramotoring, but I should've known better. Lesson learned. I decided to do this video in the style o...

Some Audio Success (In-airplane audio improvements)

Просмотров 4154 месяца назад

Now that I have a little time I've been trying to improve the in-airplane audio. This flight is a test flight to put the fixes to the test to see if they're working. It's a bit long with a lot of explanations (i.e. me rambling), but perhaps someone will find it interesting. I'm a little ashamed that I didn't know about the mic settings in the GoPro, but that's what happens when your time gets s...

Beach Flight - Saginaw Bay (paramotor extra)

A group of friends got together to do an adventure flight along the beaches of Saginaw Bay. It was a lot of fun despite my little oopsie at the the end.

Flying the Family to the Eclipse

Просмотров 1,2 тыс.4 месяца назад

It has been on the calendar for years and the day finally came - solar eclipse 2024! My mother and brother came to town and we flew to Ohio to see the total eclipse. I think I found the source of the clipping and distortion on the intercom audio capture. Unfortunately I figured it out after this date. I did a quick test in the plane in my hangar and the problem was solved, and I hope to do a te...

I Made John Sick

Просмотров 1,2 тыс.6 месяцев назад

It looked like a great day to go pick up a friend and enjoy a nice flight, but it ended up being much bumpier than expected down low. I warned John and told him we could postpone if he had any worries about motion sickness, but he assured me that he generally doesn't have any problems - famous last words. We (but unfortunately not you) got to see a Michigan landmark and got to talk about going ...

Paramotor Extra (flying from the Winn Dixie lot)

Просмотров 2317 месяцев назад

I took a mid-winter paramotor trip to Florida with some friends. I'll probably do a video on the entire trip, but here's an extra quick video of us flying from the Winn Dixie lot so we can do a flight along the coast. My engine was running a little lean so I did a quick carb adjustment on the low jet, but I overdid it just a bit. My engine wasn't running the best so I did a quick return to lean...

Rollercoasters and other stuff

Просмотров 4058 месяцев назад

I decided to post another BS video (a video that is mostly BS between my buddy Steve and I) about rollercoasters, vacations, and the time a captain of industry cost me some of my hard earned cash. I wanted to get out and fly, so I took a trip down to Ohio to have a look at the construction on Top Thrill 2 at Cedar Point. My buddy Steve decided to come along for the ride. I'm still trying to dia...

Las Vegas to Detroit in a Mooney M20F

Просмотров 9388 месяцев назад

I did a whirlwind trip to help reposition a Mooney M20F from Las Vegas to Willow Run near Detroit. Over a total of 31 hours I went from Detroit to Las Vegas and then back to Detroit. Trying to make a video in someone else's airplane isn't easy to do on the first try without some test flights to make sure cameras were in good position and audio levels were correct, but we didn't have that luxury...

Mooney M20E vs Golf Clubs

Просмотров 7419 месяцев назад

A recent question posted on a Facebook group inspired me to make this video. Do you need a mid/long body Mooney with folding seats to do a two-person golf trip with clubs and overnight bags? Of course not - I'll demonstrate how. Yeah - sucky audio. I should've had a wearable mic. But the message comes through clearly so I'm not going to spend time to re-do it. This video is for entertainment pu...
