I had a 2023 Rocky Mtn Altitude 4.0 . It required a lot more rider energy than a Brose, Bosch or Yamaha to get the most out of it. The biggest drawback was the battery charging system overcharged the battery and the battery exploded and burned everything in my garage to ashes. Rocky Mountain seemed to want to help, but in the end they just wanted to get the burned bike out of my possession and pretend it never happened. They hired a bunch of lawyers to threaten me from telling this true event. I feel a duty to warn potential buyers of the very real danger of keeping a Rocky Mountain bike indoors. The damage to my home and property is over 350k, and I am lucky to be alive. Don't take the risk with a Rocky Mountain E-MTB. It is not worth it.

Always appear dorky with an MTB helmet. That was the case riding a Rocky Mountain powerplay instinct, on desolate trail in the Adirondacks, with a ball-cap, covering my skull. Lot's of torque in that Dyname motor, even for a guy weighing 245(pounds). Motor overpowered me going down, went off trail into rocks, roots, and some big trees, which helped stop me from goingover a cliff. Three busted ribs, broken elbow, collarbone, multiple contusions(including the skull). Yip. Now I own, and always use, five different full-face helmets. Ya can never have enough protection. That Dyname motor, does escape the rider, without warning.

Need a different camera angle. Can’t see anything with this one.

Who planned that interior?! My 5 year old could could've done better. Horrible match to the exterior....

When I was a new MEI in the mid-70’s, feathering one and re-starting was required. Then, it was stopped in the 90’s as I recall. Then, it was required again… It seems ridiculous to create an intentional emergency, just to simulate an emergency. 50% of the time I have shut one down in the last 50 years, we have difficulty re-starting. Why bother doing it?

I am a little confused, you said to turn towards the dead engine which is the left engine and you make a right turn. What did I missed?

Had one quit in a BE-58 IMC. Learned two things. 1) Cross controlling in IMC is a strange sensation. 2) Landing roll was a lot longer due to less drag.

If an engine fails in a twin, the other engine promptly takes you to the crash site 😢

In the late 70's there was a ex. Navy pilot acting as chief pilot of a small charter company, he had just hired a new pilot also ex Navy, so he takes him up to check him out on a Baron 58, they were at 1500 Agl. he pulls throttle back on one engine and as they approached VMC he thought to himself " I hope this new pilot doesn't try to hold altitude" but he had confidence that since he was also ex-Navy this would not be likely. Well this new hire " did " try to hold altitude, before the chief pilot could do anything they were in a spin. First he pulls other throttle back to idle and opposite rudder to spin but it wouldn't stop spinning, in the Navy he had training on how to recover a aircraft that didn't want to recover, he started rocking the elevator in and out, this worked but then it quickly was spinning the other direction, he was running out of altitude and was pretty sure he would never see his wife again. He is at 500 Agl now pointed straight at the ground as he stops the secondary spin but knows if he pulls hard on the stick it will stall again, so he pulls back gently but as much as he dare's, he avoids the secondary stall but the ground is too close and he cuts a swath through the tree's. The Baron was a write-off, both pilots get some time in the hospital but it could have been worse.

At 2:48 you say "...rudder opposite of the spin", but the simulation shows you stepped on the left rudder pedal, into the spin. What am I getting wrong here?

Ethan: Appreciate your simulation here, and excellent explanation. Having recently lost my flight instructor to, i believe, spin going flat with insufficient altitude to recover your sim provided insight in how infact that happens.

I'm a single engine pilot and frankly I think these lights twins are plain dangerous . If an engine fails in a single you don't drop into a spin .. you lose altitude sure .. but under control ...big difference . I know of a recent case where a Cessna 310 had an engine fail on approach ...possibly an engine idle problem ..anyway it was too late to fix the issue ..aircraft rolled and 2 died . In a single engine you would just land short of the runway ..and likely walk away . To fix the danger of light twins rolling after losing an engine the engines should be cross coupled mechanically via a drive shaft and clutch or electrically via motor -generators ..Inventors are you there? Com'mon you can do it . Until then I won't be flying light twins ..or R44's either

Will the plane fly in circle if rudder is straight? How big will be the radius of this circle? Will it be able to gain altitude?

Showing proficiency of single eng. operation and all which must be done to maintain flight is far different than an engine that packs up @ 200ft on take-off. Most accidents occur during TO/landing and there are some light twins marginally powered that can be more “dangerous” to operate than others. Aviation can be inherently dangerous even if everything goes right and all procedures are followed. Prohibited from intentional spins for good reason. Lose complacency.

Ethan, what simulator is this?

This is all fine except, if your stall speed is close to Vmc! The point of the exercise is identification and immediate recovery, better still avoid it. I certainly would not allow the aircraft to yaw as far as depicted in the simulation. Vmc demonstrations do produce, an uncontrolable yaw into the dead engine and if Vmc is close to stall speed you would have a very high risk of a sudden onset full spin. I had an experience in Jet Stream 31, a simple stall at 17,000 feet, 15,000 AGL. We went through a skiff of cloud in the climb, no visible ice, the aircraft stalled 20 knots above the calculated stall speed, rolled right to a 110 degree bank in about 1 second. That ended the stall training. Now think Vmc demo and that happens. Ah the oh shit factor. All I am saying is safety first, expect the unexpected! No need to self induce a point in your shorts.

We never turn to a "dead" engine!!

Thanks for the teach in. I've been following Blancolirio on these VMC issues but you've explained it so even I, as a non pilot but flight simmer, can understand. A picture paints a thousand words.

I was told if you spin a Baron below 15,000 feet you will die. If you spin above 15,000 feet, there is a slim chance you might not die.

Vmc is just a theory. There is no evidence of its existence

Many spins in the Barons go flat and become unrecoverable. Consider adding weight in the nose compartment to help avoid unrecoverable flat spins.

In most of these light twins, you should never let the aircraft approach stall speed during this demo. In many cases, stall speed is too close to actual VMC, so this maneuver should be done with the “rudder block” method of demonstrating VMC. The effect is the same and the learning the same. The comment about allowing VMC to continue, I do not agree with. You are already tickling the dragons tail by allowing the aircraft to approach stall speed and if you get the stall, the aircraft is most likely to spin in the direction of the good engine and will likely go flat, which is the deadly combination you do not want to see.

For VMC demo the inoperative engine should be windmilling.

When I did this in a Baron with my instructor, I said "I feel like I'm poking a viper with a stick." He said "Well, you are!"

Not even impressive

The most famous bridge on Earth. Unfortunately for it, it's been destroyed over a dozen times in many popular movies over the years.

I would suggest a G500 Txi, two GI 275 as standby, a GFC 600 AP, a GTN 750, a GTN 650, a new TX with traffic awareness, and two new IO 550, and your plane will not only last for the next 50 years, but also be a high-end GA airplane! I know, this investment will be around 350.000 $, but consider the price of a used DA42 and compare the value! The Baron will be cheaper and better!

You sell yourself short! It's more than just a "stable, reliable platform". It's a great airplane! (I have a few hours on a B-58). The very pinnacle of piston engine aviation!The next step up would be a turbo-prop or a jet, but all are on the wrong side of $1,000,000.

Remember the AZTruck..

I’ve flown in a B55 fitted with the IO-550s

My BE-55 Vmc is 78 kts. I am unaware of any Baron having 115 kts Vmc which you state your Vmc is (at 9:55)

Damn i would've kept the ash trays.

Why are you wearing sunglasses in a closed hangar?

To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it.

Nice.

You're right, watching them grow every week until they grew by two cups is definitely satisfying, I went with what I commented about and after the first 20 days or so I went up by one cup! I simply go'ogled Mika Klopsworth's Breast Guide and now they’re fuller and firmer than I expected!

12 gal/hr/engine. 174 kts true airspeed

What are your real world performance and fuel burn? Looking at the same model potentially.

Is it a Cessna 402c?

Have you tried the Boost settings in the custom profiles A and B? If not it makes a world of difference.

There's no better feeling than waking up one day to discover you have a muscular, manly chest. In fact, there's this little routine that can get you chiseled faster than you think, just go’ogle Baker Henistole for the whole thing.

If ever you find yourself back at the Ottumwa IA airport, take a short walk to the NAS Ottumwa Museum (couple hundred yards). They have a 1/5th scale Stearman that is very scale. rib stitching, pinking tape. scale stencils that are actually painted on. the stick moves the control surfaces as do the rudder pedals and the fuselage is made 100% scale tube by tube. It used to be in the terminal, but they moved it to the museum earlier this year. I know the guy who built it.

Love the plane!

Dr Baughman is an excellent surgeon.

Hello doc, I'm going to subscribe to your channel cuz you only have three right now. If you show more videos of you actually doing surgeries I'm sure you'll get more subscribers. Good luck!
