I'm training in a Grumman. I just use my CFI as a cup holder. But he's always screaming when I do a barrel roll. I assume it's because of all the hot coffee.
I'm the kind of person that imagines the airplane is a person. I can just imagine the Grumman standing there staring at her new owner with a disappointed look in her eyes.
Just Plane Silly thanks man. Serious question though. Do the Grumman's brakes also work in the sky? Seems like really advanced technology for an airplane that old.
Just Plane Silly haha. Btw If you're wondering how I imagine the cirrus. She's the motherly type that loves pampering her man child owner. She just smiles and pats you on the head saying "Ahh it's cute how he thinks he pilots. Don't worry sweetie just remember to rotate and flare and mommy will take care of the rest.
Just Plane Silly oh wait I just realized it's like that mother that's pushing the race car shopping cart while her kid makes vroom noises and pretends to drive
HILARIOUS! But a few suggestions...First, I would read a different selection to my plane. It would start out "It was a dark and stormy night..." Secondly, the purpose of opening the canopy and putting out your hand in the airstream isn't just to cool off your hand, it's actually a redundant angle of attack indicator. Tilt your hand up and it it pushes your hand up, you know you are climbing and your angle of attack is good. It's also a vertical speed indicator. The harder it pushes your hand up or down indicates your vertical speed.
I googled it too... I got a google pop up wanting to know if I want to share my location.... I clicked NO... and another Google Pop Up informed me that they are sharing it anyway ( outside of my permission parameters ) Then.... 10 minutes later, two men with dark glasses and greasy rags over their faces came knocking on my door.
i love how the wind noise in the sped-up segment sounds like you are just cupping your hands around your mouth and making "ssssshhhhcccooooowwwwww" noises
'bout time you found the 'proper' airplane. Congrats! There are two kinds of planes, the one's that pilots actually fly, and the one's pilots just tag along on, until they pull the chute and give up on flying.
I bought an experimental Aeronca Champ while really barred out and managed to get a Canadian experimental plate for it. Somehow converted it to turboprop, fuel bill went thru the roof. Now I have metabolic syndrome and 60 hours flying all with a BAC of .12 (from beer), don't remember a single second of it, but apparently I fly really well... and I'm still not a licensed pilot.
I don’t know... that dent on the left wing leading edge looks out out limits ... but it’s a Grumman and I’m sure it can handle that dent. I think I saw some Cirrus owners pass out as they saw it.
going to contact my daughter to buy the compleat airplane essential oils kit. I anticipate prop oils, cowling oils and especially wheel pant/shoe/spats oils. This is gonna be awesome!
There was an instrument next to the passenger count instrument called "INOP". Is that like International something? There's one in the Cessna I train in but I have never used it.
@@mkosmo Hence, my agreement with the 60% rule. The threat is still there. It’s just reduced some, lol. High wing Cessna dorks are just destined to have diamond scars. Part of the price!
HAHA!!! I try to sprinkle my videos with subtle things like that. IF you want my full on Iron Eagle recreation, look for a video I did called Aerobatics in a Cirrus.
The advice here is the same as concerning your wife: If you feel bad because other people have better airplanes than you, stop looking at other airplanes. Not only will you be happier, but you will have way less bruises on your arm.
Actually, I’m days away from my PPL checkride, I’ll try this preflight on my DPE, - I’ll fail, but just to see his face will be all worth it..., actually, if he has some decency, he should pass me after this,... I’m laughing my brain out..., ok, back to study..., but the temptation will be huge, esp. scooping the fuel out, and stick a balloon to the vertical stabilizer..., I’m dying....
My wife says if I buy a plane I'll end up giving up all my other hobbies and hanging out in the hangar all the time, living airplane poor, making silly videos on youtube about a airplane I cannot afford to put gas in.... How is it working out for you so far?? ;-)
Chris W - "my wife says" bla blah. You sir, are no man, ye are but a little, shivering, simpering, hen-pecked, emasculated...oh, wait. No, she's right. Huh, so, um, ok then, what was I saying? Honey?
As a Grumman owner this was hilarious! Don't underestimate the Grumman though - Shot an approach to mins yesterday and the plane still runs (ruclips.net/video/JLc5ycq5wy0/видео.html) - But I did rub it a lot first to make sure it would fly in the clouds :)
I see you have the 1234 knob, but do you have the 710 cap on the engine?? I believe that cap helps the high performance engines with the 710 usage.. I could be wrong of course..
Howard Pierce I am an idiot. I sat the coffee in my chair while I pre flighted. Then I towed the plane from the hangar and it spilled. The coffee spill is why the video exists. I saw the spill and said "Self... you don't get away with that one, get your camera"
Not as bad as some stupid things I've done. Like leaving the plugs in the cowl and flying around until I broke the alternator belt. That cost a few hundred bucks.
This explanation for the coffee spill makes the video complete - best one yet. I was imagining one pissed off friend when he learned you poured coffee in his plane to make a better video. Sure is a good thing the plane has two ashtrays and zero cupholders!
Hey Mr Brian With A Why, does you do or does you don't know Katie With A Why? She's also from TX. Y'know: Remember the, uhm, ahh, remember the...Hertz? Nah. The Budget? Nope. Dern it, I can't memember that TX thing that Davey guy said to...!
Baffling on grummans are critical to keeping the temps down. I really didn't get a good look on the video but you can check out the Grumman RUclips channel they have about a hundred 5 minute videos on just about everything, these guys are the experts and have a baffling video. If you have double honeycomb on the top cowl slits need to be there, the starter and back of the engine need sealing, etc. Some people complain they can't keep temps down on a Grumman, that's BS. On a 100* day I can keep my tiger below 380 on all cylinders in climb.
Shoot me an email and I will send you some detailed photos. I am not 100% sure what is not correct on mine as it is new to me. I will also go look for the videos you mentioned. my email: BryanWithaY at worldsgreatestpilot dot com

A good barrel roll or loop should not spill coffee.
I suggest you keep training,
with tap water for the time being.
I'm the kind of person that imagines the airplane is a person. I can just imagine the Grumman standing there staring at her new owner with a disappointed look in her eyes.
This is the best comment ever!
Just Plane Silly thanks man. Serious question though. Do the Grumman's brakes also work in the sky? Seems like really advanced technology for an airplane that old.
If I'm being totally honest, I may as well not even have feet once I am like 50 feet AGL

Pitot File. That's getting used again.
lmao that one was good

Over-built, unnecessarily complicated, machines that are clunky and weird. Like helicopters. Lol. I’m dying.
a tip : watch series at flixzone. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies recently.
@Conrad Johnathan definitely, have been watching on Flixzone for months myself :)
I should’ve listened.
I googled Pitot File. Now my FSDO wants to chat.
I googled it too... I got a google pop up wanting to know if I want to share my location....

"hundred dollar bill or a gold doubloon" LMAO!!!
Nice Jimmy Branson reference. Children of the 80's enjoyed that.
Definitely going to use "Newton side" when explaining aerodynamics to my family.
Exactly, but you can't overlook the Bernoulli side, which we all know does nothing.
I don’t know... that dent on the left wing leading edge looks out out limits ... but it’s a Grumman and I’m sure it can handle that dent.
I think I saw some Cirrus owners pass out as they saw it.
The Bernoulli side Newton side thing was pretty good
"It's also good to have this here in case you want to throw something out of the plane like water balloons or... cocaine"
Epic
Brian glad to see you have upgraded
That was very funny - thank you!
Okay this is literally the best ever. 🤣🤣
That was hilarious! I’m in, I’m subscribing!
Brian, you are terrific! What a great sense of humor you have! I have to watch and rewatch often.
you are now my 21st favorite you tube channel! #almosttoptwenty
Brian McGee damn! Im not even in my own top 100.
Haha, the coffee in the seat...why?!? Comedy at any cost!
I wish. I legit spilled it. That incident actually prompted the video.
Just Plane Silly - that's great! Your videos are hilarious.
Thank you. I have fun with them. Stay tuned. Lots more to come!
That preflight looks a lot like the ones I perform on H-60s
going to contact my daughter to buy the compleat airplane essential oils kit. I anticipate prop oils, cowling oils and especially wheel pant/shoe/spats oils. This is gonna be awesome!
“The white on the tip is there so you know….” Hahaha
I too am a victim of drunk amazon Grumman purchasing
We are giants among men.
Made my morning... I can't wait for the next addition.
Maybe NOW you finally understand why I drink so much whiskey. These real planes can be a bit nerve-racking to fly.
I'm not sure I want to be a real pilot.
I liked the flask on the right seat, you need to fit a spittoon in there for the next video..
9:39 I absolutely lost it
The 1,2,3,4 knob 🤣
There was an instrument next to the passenger count instrument called "INOP". Is that like International something? There's one in the Cessna I train in but I have never used it.
The pitot file joke took me a sec
Whisper sweet nothings to your Grumman
Dude- the. Whole. Cup. Of. Coffee!
You are brilliant! Thanks
I thought that the coffee was a nice touch…
The the obscure Iron Eagle Reference
Can you actually afford to run both a Cirrus and a Grumman?
If I’ll make it to the taxi, doubtful, I’ll light up a cigar.., ha-ha-ha...,
That is a super clean plane.
You know, the noodle is brilliant. Not sure I was supposed to pick anything useful up from this... ;-)
Pool noodles solve like 60% of my problems in life.
Its a pretty easy life though.
I solved the ‘diamond shaped scars’ on the forehead problem with pool noodles on the trailing edges of my 180 flaps and ailerons. They’re gold!
@@mkosmo Hence, my agreement with the 60% rule. The threat is still there. It’s just reduced some, lol. High wing Cessna dorks are just destined to have diamond scars. Part of the price!
Lol Jimmy Branson... wonder if anyone caught the iron eagle reference!!!
HAHA!!! I try to sprinkle my videos with subtle things like that. IF you want my full on Iron Eagle recreation, look for a video I did called Aerobatics in a Cirrus.
Great work, thanks.
The advice here is the same as concerning your wife: If you feel bad because other people have better airplanes than you, stop looking at other airplanes. Not only will you be happier, but you will have way less bruises on your arm.
Cirrus death trap.
I’m going to eat that beef jerky
I was hoping to hear something informative about the Muffler Bearings and where to put the blinker fluid. Maybe next time.
not to yellow not to blue
Your wheel shoes made by Dr. Schools with air cushions? Thanks for the blathe.
This is better aviation humor than Rod Machado, or anyone....

You should actually implement a canopy remote...
where's the Flux Capacitor located on this thing?

I take it from the video that your a physicist Astro Mathematician aeronautical engineer?
noah noah - an u mus b uh Grammarian. "Your" welcum.
I see you have the 1234 knob, but do you have the 710 cap on the engine?? I believe that cap helps the high performance engines with the 710 usage.. I could be wrong of course..
Never leave the 710 cap off.
crap. I thought I was gonna be the first to be make the "ordered a plane on amazon prime while drunken"
Haha very funny, thank you
Bryan, did you really spill coffee on the seat of your new plane?
Howard Pierce I am an idiot. I sat the coffee in my chair while I pre flighted.
Then I towed the plane from the hangar and it spilled.
The coffee spill is why the video exists.
I saw the spill and said "Self... you don't get away with that one, get your camera"

Hmmm... no beer/cupholder... 2 ashtrays and a canopy you can open to let the smoke, I mean heat out.
Did you buy this from Cheech or Chong?
🚬💨
Hilarious!
You forgot to say to suck the stall tab.
did you intentionally spill coffee?
No that was an accident. I felt really dumb spilling that in my brand new to me plane. But it made for a bit of a laugh so silver lining I guess.
Haha this was good.
did you say hash treys?
rebelyell22 - ah, sheesh, it's Hash TRAYS, not hash treys. D'hells wrong wif peeps deese daze?
Now that was hilarious,, LMAO
Wow, that was a little disturbing.
Hey Mr Brian With A Why, does you do or does you don't know Katie With A Why? She's also from TX.
Y'know: Remember the, uhm, ahh, remember the...Hertz?
Nah. The Budget?
Nope.
Dern it, I can't memember that TX thing that Davey guy said to...!
I feel like you are asking if I have been to: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katy,_Texas
I thought those were dog treats you're a great pilot but I'm not going to take your advice
😂😂😂😂

Fuck is a zima?
Your baffles need a little work, seriously
What's wrong with them? MX says they look great.
