Great video about real life flying! You did an excellence job of maintaining professional composure in spite of a patience testing situation. You also set a good example for your daughter to know that when difficulties arise, cool heads prevail.
It's essential for pilots to actively communicate and clarify if something seems off, as you did. Safety relies on a collaborative effort between pilots and controllers. Trust their expertise, but maintain a vigilant attitude to ensure a safe flight. Your proactive approach sets a great example for others in the aviation community. Fly safely! ✈🛫
I always tell my students it is OKAY to have a brief conversation on radio if it's in the interest of safety. Wanna ask if the downwind traffic sees you on the CTAF? Go for it. Wanna know if ATC is talking to the aircraft two miles behind you? Be my guest. If it keeps everyone on the same page you're not in the wrong. AC 90-66 (which all pilots should read for operations at non-towered fields) just had an update in June to remove the recommendation to just keep it to standard call-outs.
@OneAlphaMike Really enjoy your ride along videos! I've learned a lot about the TSi from you and your content. In fact, you are a big reason why I made the decision to purchase the TSi kit. I just put my deposit down last week. (This will be my 2nd build). Would love to talk with you more about your Sling TSi. I just live up the road in Charlotte. Thanks, Mike!
Another good video. I like how you conversationally asked ATC about the guy turning base. But, I have (another) question if I may. I know you are using VPX hence the lack of breakers. I am doing the same, but, I am being told I will need a few breakers for ECU power, Fues box, external alternator... How did you avoid having any CB's at all?

Yes, verify ATC, Pilot in Command can't relinquish the responsibility. It's (y)our arse on the line.
It's a timely reminder, thankyou. Great video👍

I dunno, I was told all I needed was one 30a breaker for the generator power. (I don't have the external alternator.) Maybe Aussie regulations?
