Keep the videos coming, I like that they don’t have some dramatic point you’re making and that they don’t have to be some life changing adventure. You’re stuff is relaxing and easy to watch and you give a unique perspective. I’d say you give the most realistic view of what it’s like to go out and fly a little taildragger. Thanks!
Thank you for the comment, I’m trying to keep the daily thing going as long as I can. Not every day is exciting, I more like the chance to try and come up with something every day
Well you helped me make the choice to buy an eagle, currently in escrow for it and I’m stoked. I’ll be up north of you at kccb. Would love to get together and do some flying! Would also love more eagle content getting kinda more in depth on it and how it flies!
Dude….your videos are awesome…. I’ve got over 18,000 hours and I really enjoy watching them…. You’ve inspired me and continue to do so…. Try not to over think it…. When musicians perform at concerts or venues, there’s a lot of repetition for them…. But to the audience it feels really new and fresh…as a creative, try to approach each day with a beginner’s mind…. As if it’s the first time you’ve ever done it….you got this 👍
Don't worry man, it isn't getting boring for us either. We just love airplanes. Your content is great. I'm going to share your channel tonight. I have one more of your vids to catch up on and then I'll get that done!
Hey Alex, it's great to see you put the effort in for such frequent videos. You're brilliant at the cinematography aspect every time, and I enjoyed your talk here too, but could I make a slight constructive suggestion for your aerobatic videos - it would be super super great if you could dive into a tiny bit more detail with whatever the subject is. I understand that you are trying to keep the vids relatively simple and perhaps for a wider audience, but I often find myself wondering about a better explanation of whatever the goal is on the day. I feel like you often ask a question or make a statement and then it's just left somewhat unanswered with just cool cinematics filling in the rest of the video. For example with the recent tail slides, it would have been super cool to hear a brief explanation of what they are, how to do them and the complexities (and dangers) of doing them like the reversal of flight controls on the slide down ect... maybe your goal is to keep stuff super simple but I really think diving just a tiny bit deeper into a particular subject would make your videos more interesting. You're basically doing what my dream RUclips channel has always been - doing aeros, and being somewhat of a "Trent Palmer" but with aerobatics. Unfortunately my Christen Eagle is currently broken but you're definitely a great inspiration for whenever I manage to fly it again and start filming :) Keep up the videos!
See these are the kind of comments I need. I’m honestly just winging videos and I don’t always know how to structure them. My biggest issue is I get to the edit and I leave so much stuff out because I don’t have a straight train of thought. I will start working on explaining more and being a bit more clear. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and lend a hand.
@@alexandercoats Fantastic! Great to hear you'll take my idea on board! You already have the amazing cinematics and flying skills. I think if you get the story part right, it's gonna be a killer combo :) Btw, just as personal video request for the future - it would be great if you did a video on inverted spinning and possibly even inverted flat spinning. It's something I still have to do on my own for the first time and no matter how many times I replay the recovery actions in my head in the armchair, or even a simulator, it's fairly terrifying (at my modest Sportsman level). Anyway, just an idea :)
@@alexandercoats Thanks! Yep. It's been my dream to become an aerobatics and more specifically an airshow display pilot for ages! It's taken me a bit longer to finally get into an aerobatic aircraft than you (I think we are the same age), so need to play a bit of catch up this summer. I'm jealous of the weather you guys get compared to the 360 days of rain we have in Scotland. Defo can't do a David Martin around here lol :(
It’s the environment. I remember just getting in the Cub and flying the hills of Pa. I landed in an RC club landing field and giving rides. lol. The cub always gives you times to give enjoyment. Plus take other people to say a place to get breakfast. Like the lockhaven field. Mountain where they made Cubs. Great Pancakes. Just a few Ideas. Come to Florida and fly my Eagle to say Marathon or Key west. Plenty of places to do regular flying and some aerobatics.
Yes. Flying gets boring. There is a reason people gravitate toward aerobatics, competitions, off-airport and STOL-drags. Tbh, I hung it up 3 years ago with Covid after taking a few hours of Pitts transition training. Just not worth the expense vs reward. Even a Cub is not "cheap" around $100/hr, plus hangar and insurance. A Pitts is $300-400/hr. If you count repairs for breaking things. Including fabric, engines and props. I can see the appeal of an RV-3.😅
I can't bad mouth him while I'm renting his 172 and I need his sign offs 😂 No, he's great. I lucked out finding him to work on my PPL. Need to schedule some time for Saturday morning... Edit: nevermind, just checked the weather 😢
My struggle with wanting my PPL is that I can't justify remaining in the pattern. If I can find a CFI who wants to train by never going to the same destination for lunch, then I'll be happy to get my PPL and I aim to get multi-engine and instrument ratings and more. I'm not saying I won't fly a pattern. If we take off from KBUF and do patterns at every surrounding airfield, and have lunch at a different field each day, I'm all for it.
Almost all of my training has been in the pattern. I'm nearly complete (and ahead of the curve). Once I have my license, I can fly where I want. Delayed gratification.
@alexandercoats for 50,000 years a machine that could allow you to fly was only a dream. I get depressed sometimes about the cost and miserable airfields I visit here in the uk and I wonder if this is what I really want. I fly a low wing robin 200 and at some point I do a 60 degree bank abd see the entire countryside filling that giant window and I realise how special it is to be able to do that.
I'm really enjoying your videos. You have quality content and interesting topics.. This topic was perfect. Its what all youtube content creators deal with.. What do I post this week? Will people like it, will it be interesting, will I get a few subs? I'm an RC Plane guy and deal with the same stuff. But, your channel is much cooler than mine.... Your video production is very well done. Keep doing what you are doing and you'll continue to grow... Btw, whats your favorite plane to fly? I would think the J3 cub.. It seems like the simplest form of flying. Just basic, nothing fancy flying... Thanks for sharing.. Will
I want to get a small plane but just not sure if I would have a reason to fly. Work eats up most of my time and i really don't make enough to own a plane and be responsible.
I find myself trying to make time every day to get out and fly the cub. It’s definitely an unneeded expense, but if it’s something you really want to do, it’s worth it
@@alexandercoats Oh damn! Ok, I'm actually close *enough* to there. I currently live in San Luis Obispo, but I have family in Van Nuys and I used to live in San Diego. Do you have a website or someway I can stay in touch with you and chat more about this? It might still be a ways out until I have the time/money to pursue this the way I want to, but I figure finding an instructor I connect with would be awesome! So just keeping an eye out for that instructor as all the pieces come together
@@alexandercoats It’s awesome out here man! We love it so far. There’s a flight school right by my house called Randon Aviation I’ve been looking into I want to get my license eventually….
You can hand prop an airplane…nice. Aerobatic flying never gets boring. Straight & level flying does get boring to me. I started with hundreds of hours in ultralights. Lots of fun initially although that does get boring. I hate flying Cessna’s…super boring. Cross countries are boring, airline flights are boring, etc.

Fun watching all you do and I can pick up some pointers along the way, also love all the different angles used while flying.
Thank you! I enjoy making the videos. It’s been a challenge to come up with something every day. But it’s fun. I miss days here and there still

I like all the videos that are coming out so quickly. I know it is a lot of work, and I appreciate it.

I’ve always wanted to fly down there. I’ve flown into Miami and Tampa for work but never made it down to the keys.
Your videos never get boring - keep them coming! thanks!
Thanks Dude! I’m going to. I’m kinda in a groove right now.
Great video like always man. Keep it up! I’m working on my PPL close to you. One day I’ll come down to HMT and say hi 🙌🏻
Thanks again Ed! Cruise up any time!

I’m not going to argue any of these claims, these things are expensive and take a very large amount of your time.
Hey fellow KHMT pilot dude! I just found your channel, good stuff 👍
What’s up Brian!
@@alexandercoats - Working and flying when I can 😁
@@alexandercoats - I fly N73898 out of Hemet, maybe I'll catch you in your cub sometime 😊

Norm...out of KRIR?
That's my instructor 😂
Yes, he is the man
I can't bad mouth him while I'm renting his 172 and I need his sign offs 😂
No, he's great. I lucked out finding him to work on my PPL. Need to schedule some time for Saturday morning...

At the end of the day, even a simple cub is a magic carpet.

You guys have too much fun up there
You’re always welcome to just cruise up here
@@alexandercoats very soon
@@a-spears I’ll hold you to that
Nope. :) Also, these are officially my favorite youtube videos, so where' s 14?!? Nice wheelies.
14 was filmed today. It will be out tomorrow morning hopefully

I agree completely. I probably would have stopped flying a long time ago if I couldn’t flip the plane upside down
Chunky butter? 🤣
Haha my girlfriend called it chunky butter one time when I landed haha. So that’s my go to response now.
