Hey! That's Cameron Park...not much of a ground loop at the high speed turn off, thank goodness. That RV-3's a great little high performance machine, one of my favorites. I'll meet you in Auburn for lunch in the Luscombe. Juan- Nevada City, CA
Are you still alive mate ? Lovely little plane, looks like so much fun. However seems like a bit too much showboating going on at reasonably low alt. Correct me if I'm wrong
I landed our Champ at Cameron Park last year. Tricky runway because it sags in the middle and both ends are going into hills haha...to say the least, it was a scary landing and takeoff. But im sure i'd just get used to it after some time....but no room for errors or engine out...you'll be in someone's backyard
Turning off the active at way too fast a taxi was where the GL started. Luckily he got it before a loop happened. Also the last comment is correct. He just wanted to be cool and get the first off ramp, not cool !
Wow. How many regs busted? Why shoot for the first taxiway with all that runway available? Aside from all that, your plane appears to fly really nice. What have you been able to squeeze out of her for range in economy cruise?
Ted Shredz, there was someone calling for emergency landing and he was trying to get out of the way. I am not the owner or pilot but original RV-3 has 19 gallon tank, Carrot has a 32 gallon custom tank. Fuel consumption depends on the engine/ prop combo. Average would be 6-7 gallons per hour. Speed would average 150-185 per hour. Again depends on the engine/ prop. Top speed just over 200, but that would be 12g/hr.
Pilot never quite had control during the entire flight. Back to basics. Have fun with the basics before you hurt yourself or someone else. This vid could be used for enforcement action.
I guess I'm a bit "old school," but I thought I'd detected a bit of "hot dogging" during that flight (?) And, landing BEFORE the runway (so you could turn off at the beginning of the runway) was not cool at all. Just reinforced your hot dog tendencies. Didn't enjoy the video at all. But, in over 30 years of flying "little planes," I like to see folks follow the rules and have a good time.
Har, har, now "dats" funny! I was a member of the McGuire AFB, NJ Aero Club. (now defunct), as a USAF Retiree (Avionics). We had to get a "Satellite Weather Briefing," from Base Ops. even if you were only going 50 miles! Great comment! :) N-6395T
Those "Quips" are really cool! Love them! At the McGuire Aero Club, if you didn't have at least 500 hrs NO-ONE would speak to you (we were "low lifes!" ha. I believe I made calls to McClellan a few times, on HF, (I was a civilian WG-12 then - had already retired). That would be during our radio checks on the C141B's, heading for Rhein Mein AB. Need to call WAY OUT for weather. Seems I called on either 3.019 or 5.710, or 8.993Mhz. I still remember those freqs. As you would know, it would depend on the time of day as to how far you could "skip" your RF off that "Conductive D Layer." Only used "Upper Side Band" for the HF. Back when, we had 130Watt HF's - later, went to a 400 watt units. Have to tell you that I, sometimes, would call out on 26.185mhz - that's Channel 19 CB radio! They said I "pegged their meters." ha. That was bad - like Larry the Cable Guy says: "I apologize Lord.." ha. Later. N-6395T B-6370, PCA and USPA.
I worked both the A's and the B models (extended fuselage and In-Flight refueling.) 2775 and 2776 were the #1 and #2 C-141s produced - they were kept as A Models and used as "test beds." They would come in to McGuire, periodically - they seemed so "small" compared to the extended B models. Plus, their Avionics was really "old school." The "underdeck Avionics" area was really "bare," compared to the B's. Great airplane - I worked it for about 13 years, or so. Two of our planes went "down" on the same day, about 4 hrs apart. That was in 1976. I worked with the inspectors on all of the instruments that were brought back to McGuire. Read the Flight DataRecorder tape (Inconel metal foil) on the one that crashed in Greenland. Was called in on a Sunday, I recall. Was shop superintendent then. That was a dark day for McGuire. Good talkin' to you.
Bunch of vans engineers, pilots from yale school of aeronautics and ATC geniuses here......and not one of them can afford your life brother, enjoy your rv, didnt think i wanted one because its a tail dragger but maybe....maybe...25k vs 40k for a tricycle....

Fun video to watch, thank you for sharing.
I was hopeing for a hammerhead in there. That RV 3 is one sweet plane, thanks for the ride.
God I love those things. And you got off very lightly! A bouncing tail only :-)
Quick and beautiful airplane.
Displaced threshold can be used for takeoff not landing

Sounds like fun!

Looked like a hell of a lot of fun to me ! No sense in having an airplane if you can piss someone off every once in awhile !
That plane can boogie!! I want one!!
Next time try pulling the stick all the way back when the tailwheel touches down. ;)

fly it like you stole it

Bill Wilkins Someone was calling for emergency landing behind him, he was trying to get out of the way.
Not supposed to use that part of the runway !

Cheap Ass Garage: Totally get it. Needed to hear that......
Landing on the pre-threshold/displacement is illegal

I'm thinking your friend told you a lie about the 'emergency landing behind'. you should take out a life insurance policy on him!
what about that new nissan engine? Weight 40kg and have 400 hp ^^
Cool coffin

He landed early because someone was calling for emergency landing behind him, he was trying to get off the runway quickly.
OK, but how about a "go around," and getting completely out of the way? Just a thought.

What kind of neighbourhood is that!? Everybody has an airplane in the driveway??? :D
It's called an airpark.
The future son
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Doesn't look like 1500 AGL to me.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
How fast are you buzzing the runway?
Don't know, top speed is probably somewhere around 200.
how was that an almost ground loop?
Yup flying like a jackass

Aviation Karen! SMH.
That's not "almost"
not sure your flying (and publishing) is doing GA any good... sure ain't as cool as you think...
Get your boomer ass outta here your mindset is why GA is dying with the rest of your generation.
