Radio Failed Mid Flight

  • Some days I feel like my timing is just on and I can make the Edge do anything I want it to, others feel like I walked face first into a brick wall. Today was the latter, I felt like I was flying it for the first time. To add insult to injury, my radio stopped working and I had to work my way into a busy pattern with no coms.

    That snap on the downline looked awesome!
    Got to have bad days, the key is to recognize the good ones.

      This is true, I thought I was flying lights out on my last flight. I think that’s why I thought it would be the same today

    Thanks for alleviating my fears that the Edge would remain pantless. I suspect that you will have no more bad days once they go on. If you do, then at least you will do so in proper fashion! Thanks for entertaining me each day.

      Haha you’re welcome. The pants hopefully will be done this weekend

    Gorgeous red Extra at the beginning. Tight wheel pants on grass strips are painful and dangerous. I’ve had lots of issues. And difficult to add air to the tires. Jettison those things.

      I’m all about rocking no wheel pants. But the plane definitely looks better with them on

    Love your videos brother! Very polished production. I flew for ASA for thirty years, then during Covid we went out of business. I’ve got a 56 Pacer and an RV4. Can’t wait to see you headlining an airshow with Rob Holland!

      Thanks dude. This was an awesome comment to read! I appreciate the motivation

    Yeah at 3 minutes that was a good flick. Very crisp and definite demonstration of pitch then yaw then roll. Even those blind biassed bastards (judges) on the ground would have to give you that
    Good work alex

      Thanks Dave, I was watching Aaron M. do each variation of the 3/4 snap and I was trying to emulate what I saw him doing, I know it’s a timing and feel thing, I just have to keep at it

    Some days are better than others for sure, but you're really good, and really demanding of yourself as a result. I'm sure there are guys that would be happy with your bad days on the sticks. Heck man, the plane and you are in one piece, and the FAA isn't involved, so it wasn't really a bad day of flying.

      Thank you, I have to try and remember that. It’s tough when you see people like Rob and Aaron flying at such a high level. It’s just going to take fuel through the tank

      Even a bad day out here is better than most days

    Keeping it fresh with a new type of audio issue? Oh, and you even mentioned a different type of audio issue at the end of the video! Doubling up!
    Seriously though, are you like another Mike Patey, trading sleep for productivity? How is it possible for one person to record and edit daily videos with this high of quality for anywhere near as long of a streak as you have been?

    • @alexandercoats
      @alexandercoats  Год назад

      I think I finally have the audio situation handled. And I just kind of fell into a routine, I start the edit at night and finish it up really early in the morning before I start the next video. I may miss a few days here and there but I hope to keep it as consistent as possible.

      Good idea. I am stuck on the ground. Low clouds and my Arrow is not FIKI. Temps right at freezing but no snow, just gray. Very depressing.
