- Pure #Joy as I figure out Spin Recoveries ON HEADING! (while test Flying the new A30 :)
Giveaways, 250+ back catalogue episodes +more at www.flightchops.com
To learn proper spin recovery technique, first and foremost, work with a qualified instructor - but also, watch the #Aerobatic training episode(s) I filmed with Luke :)
That said, this one is definitely NOT training - it’s just sharing my raw excitement and glee as I start to really figure out how to recover from spins with some degree of precision in the hopes to fly a competition; so really this is just sharing my debrief in that regard - I’m absolutely not endeavouring to train you how to execute, or recover from spins.
Here's a text Luke sent me after reviewing this rough cut:
“One observation …..
I’ve been watching you for many many years now and seeing you nail your spin recoveries is PROBABLY the most ecstatic I’ve ever seen you in a flying scenario :D“

And as always CloudAhoy is my debriefing tool of choice, a really cool feature for those of you that don’t have edit suites at home, is that you can sync a raw RUclips #Flying video with in the interface, and it will intelligently stay in sync with your debrief!

FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.

The satisfaction in your voice on nailing those exits is priceless 👌🏻 I wear an A20 multiple hours a day so something that feels invisible is definitely something I’m interested in!
Thanks yeah.., when I first learned to spin this thing, I had trouble getting clean recoveries, let alone exiting on an exact headings.
It has been tremendously satisfying to make progress figuring this out!
When in the US Army as a Hovercraft pilot and doing 360’s at 65 knots it was fun! Like riding on a frisbee controlled by a kite string.
Nice to see how far you have come man with the aerobatics💪🏼
Thanks Micke!
Great fun. I had spin training in a 150 years ago. Did 3 and a half turn spins. Held back pressure until the end of 3 turns and started the recovery and came out 180 degrees from start heading. (+ or minus) Now practice the spin recovery from slips and skids.
Yeah - spinning a 150 is good times.
Got to this one late; lots going on here. Dave wondered if I could make it over to CAM yesterday; couldn't because of prior commitments. Still planning to be at the Annual General Meeting this month, via wings or wheels; we'll see. Glad the Bose A30 is out; hopefully it will help the used market of A20s. I'm a Bose guy, just like I'm a Garmin guy. I don't have the money available to invest in a new A30 yet, but I'm in the market for a passenger headset and it will be a Bose aviation headset. As for the aerobatics, I can't wait till I'm practicing them myself. We'll see when, where and how: I'll catch you up on my current status when we can talk in person. All current indicators are positive.
You didn't miss much on Saturday - weather crapped out mid day. Looking forward to seeing you at the AGM.
That camera angle with the plane spinning around was really cool!! I like what I'm hearing about those A30!
That Extra is getting a serious inspection!!!! Wow!
Yeah, I think it was the 1000 hour or something...
Looking forward watching this journey to acro competition!!
Thanks man! It's rewarding to be able to share this stuff!
Some sweet flying there Steve - great to see the level of proficiency you are achieving... To hear the satisfaction in your voice when you achieve your goal and nail those exits (not fluke them) is inspiring. Mind you, I'm not about to do that in my RV10, and spins still get my sweaty! Great content, love your approach and appreciate the work you put in. All the best from down under
Thank you kindly Tony!
Oddly enough, I was already Subscribed!! Lol Great to meet you today!
Alight! Sounds like you have some catching up to do :)
Great Video! I’m doing my first aerobatic competition this year so I love the content.
That is awesome! What are you flying?
@@FlightChops I’m going to be flying my instructors super decathlon I’m 17 and unable to afford my own airplane but I’m really excited to compete and learn
Those A30s look nice, i just wish you could put a. Sd card in the controller and record all the audio. It could be a version of a CVR for GA.
That's a great idea.
There sure is a lot to this precision work - great to see the coverage of your practice. Options for debrief are super useful. Enjoyment all the way :)
Thanks Chris!
And yes for sure - this level of debrief REALLY helps dial it all in.
That part is fun lots of practice.
As always Steve, great content! Our RV-14 recently finished Phase 1 flight testing. What an amazingly fun airplane to fly. Next it’s off to Jonathan in the near future to be beautified. In the meantime…..more flying!
Awesome! Looking forward to seeing how your paint turns out!
That looked really fun
You should get back to it!
0:15 the spins are much easier to follow with that 360 camera view. Looks great!
Yeah that was an accidental render with the “flow stabilization” (or whatever it is called) locked onto a spot on the earth, and I was like, wow that is weird and cool :P.
It really shows what is happening with the aircraft in a spin, although not showing what’s going on with control inputs.
@@FlightChops yeah thats true. Glad you at least added it in the beginning. What a wonderful airplane.
the overlay with the cloud a hoy is really cool, however I really like seeing what you are doing and find I'm overly distracted by that. Could you make it the opposite way where the cloud-a-hoy is smaller and the video of you flying is larger?
Hey Thanks Ben, did you watch the whole episode? There are multiple spins, and I covered each one slightly differently for this exact reason, so that the focus would be on different parts each time. It is also 4K resolution, so if you are watching on a big screen all the details are there even in the 4 way split.
A30 looks like a Bose QC45 from the consumer market.
I don’t know if that is a good or a bad thing, but it is a step up from the A20 in almost every way. And that’s saying a lot because the A20 has been, and continues to be an amazing headset after more than a decade!
Can you turn off Betty yelling “sink rate, pull up”? Is there a setting that will disable that? Perhaps another disable switch to shut her up?
Not sure, but maybe there is to temporarily disable that for aerobatics.
Very good. How do you get the plane to “rotate” around the camera like that. I have always wondered seeing other videos do the same during barrel rolls etc. nice RV14 - I am hoping to get one so am enjoying your videos
Hey man when is that competition in Winnipeg?
CloudAhoy is INCREDIBLY powerful. When I was doing circuits in PPL training, I got much better feedback on how they looked than my instructor could explain. I'm quite happy with how my circuits look now.
That's a great example of how to use a CloudAhoy debrief to improve your flying.
Thumbs up 👍
Steve, does your RV14 have a fuel flop tube or inverted oil? I finished mi e about the same time as you did and after getting it back from Jonathan at Evolve next month, I’m considering adding them….I’m only interested in “light aerobatics”.
10:00 butter
Are you left-handed? Most righty pilots prefer right hand on stick, left on throttle when doing acro. BTW I purchased cloud ahoy solely from your videos, I actually never heard of it except on flightchops. Great piece of software.
Hey right on! CloudAhoy is a game changer for debriefing! And I’m not left handed, but I jump in and out of enough things that I’m fine flying it this way. But yes, I seriously looked at doing a left side throttle mod, or just flying that thing from the right seat for acro. In the end, I’m just used to it now.
+1 for CloudAhoy… for ordinary flight recording!!!
Great review of the Bose headset too.
Nice work Steve!

I'm curious how you're planning to fly figures 3-4-5 in the sportsman sequence without an inverted oil system in the RV?
Shoot me an email and I will send you some debrief info. Flightchops at gmail dot com
@flightchops How do you get that track log at 10:28 and a few other points in the video? What equipment/programs are you using?
It's the data pulled from the SD card in the G3X, imported into CloudAhoy 👊
@@FlightChops awesome, great footage and looks like great data that you get to review! I would have as much fun reviewing the flight as I would in flying it.
Steve does Bose give you the option for a strap doing Acro ?
It's not a stock thing (that I know of), most seem to make one by sticking velcro to the sides of the ear cups :P
I would have been at the course but alas...the job thing got in the way again.
Ah well… gotta pay for the avgas!
Hey Steve! With the reduced clamping force of the A30s, do you ever feel like they slip off your head more often than the A20s?
Under normal ops, they are ok, but yeah, when pulling G's I'd need a strap or something which I didn't have time to sort out, so for training and competing last summer I was wearing the A20.
I would suggest you disable the sink rate warnings when you are doing these maneuvers, so that you don't train your brain to ignore it when you are spatially disoriented
I bet Bose are not going to be overly impressed by your review. Basically, less clamping force and a thinner cable 😂
I talked about it more at the end (I'm assuming you didn't get that far?)... but I mean... I'm not a product reviewer; They know that, and didn't expect me to spend a lot of time on it in one episode. I'll share more insights from other types of flying - like when using it on an IFR flight, I noticed more about the clarity and how good the mic is at cutting out ambient sounds - but that wasn't something I was going to get into in this episode.
@@FlightChops Yes I did actually, I watched to the end as I do on most of your videos as you produce some very good content.
My comment was not intended to be bashing you, just a little humour 😁
All good thanks for watching the episodes 👊
A30, how Does it perform during negative maneuvers? Considering it has low clamping force then A20.
You gotta watch the video - I literally address that exact question.
Was that Katie Mack the famous Astrophysicist? 😲
Was that a low key name drop? 🤓
(EDIT: She really is a pretty big deal, eh?) 😎
@@FlightChops Yeah, she's awesome. Been following her for a while for physics stuff...finding out she's also a pilot and hanging with ya'll? Double extra fun news.
I went back to an older video and the mic on these sounds worse than the A20. Am I crazy?
Haha - I think you're crazy :P.
I forgot to make the comment that it sounds cleaner to me - AND I am talking at a totally normal volume all through this flight and the mic isn't even touching my lips - Normally I have to almost eat the mic, and I've gotten used to speaking at an almost uncomfortably loud level to break squelch. Were you looking at episodes in this airplane?
@@FlightChops Yessir, the video about spins you did recently, don't know why but the A20 mic in that video sounds clearer
A30? Shut up and take my money
Haha - yup 🤘
