wake up babe new complete walkaround vid just dropped
This channel is going to blow up. Clear voice, great graphics and excellent content that isn't readily available.
The Duke is a stunningly expensive aircraft to operate, and you only get to fly it 11 months of any given year: Annual inspection (and repairs) will always take at least 1 month. This is a good video: Informative and entertaining
I can't believe you don't have 500k+ subscribers by now...but you will. Outstanding, presentation and balanced.with humor. Keep it coming and thanks so much for sharing!!
Could you post Timelapse’s of you drawing for episodes? It would be cool to see the process
It’s very likely just an editing app that you upload a real photo and it turns it into a drawing of the picture.
@@Captndarty They look far too good for that. They are probably traced by hand though.
from watching these videos, it seems like the 60s and 70s were a good time to be into civil aviation. So many cool choices for aircraft.
Very cool! I'm intrigued by the Aerostar now, it looked pretty cool.
There was even a jet mod for it…
You're back!
Get a C182 fixed gear, and you will have a much better experience owning your own aircraft. The Duke my company bought needed an engine right off the bat. The owners bought another “tired” Duke while it got repairs done. Part of their problem though was, they rushed into the purchase, and ignored our recommendation of a Baron 58.
You've really hit your stride with these videos. The length is great, you get the pertinent info across, and you manage to do it with being neither too dry nor too distracting. I'm looking to buy a plane in the next six to 18 months so I'm watching every one of your videos. Thanks and keep it up. Oh, and Grumman AA5A or B would be great when you have time.
Maintenance issues seem like a ROYAL PIA. Still, paint it black and tint the windows and you've got a slick ride. You know what else is an interesting aircraft? The Comanche 400!!
God, I absolutely adore your videos. Fantastic voice, quick jokes that genuinely make me chuckle, cool graphics... I'm always smiling ear-to-ear by the end. The RUclips creator we need but don't deserve.
Holy cow man, thanks
I really do enjoy these video's, I also enjoy the fantasy of being anle to afford anything featured. So far the Paramotor has been the closest. Keep up the great work.
Best looking civil airplane IMO.
Glad you're back I was wondering if we'd see you again!
I'm still looking forward to the Austro-powered DA-42 video. Should be interesting.
Are you authorized to use the Corolla as a unit of measurement?
Really enjoying these episodes, especially the cost to owns on the twin engines. Never too late to make a video on the Beech 18, very popular vintage twin right there. Keep it up
Thanks for mentioning the VG's Winglets and Aft Body Strakes, I manage those STC's.
The best plane ever built! Flies like a dream!
Love your videos! The info mixed with the subtle humor is fantastic! I would love to see one on the Cessna 337.
Would love to see some of the Pipistrel planes! The Sinus/Virus, Alpha Electro, Pantera are a few that come to mind
*Can you make a video about an electric airplane?*
You know, rather than being scared off, I seriously like the challenge of being a competent manager of that type of aircraft. Most of my life, yeah, nah. But now this thing looks like the kind of machine I can imagine enjoying as a means of developing an example of quiet, rigorous competence.
Great video! Look into the L-65 Seabear! A cool and affordable utilitarians dream!
I really like your videos. If I could ask one more thing to make them better though, I would love to hear about some of the big Airworthiness Directives. Not all of them, I’d just be curious about some of the big ones for each plane
Thanks. Not a bad idea
@@CompleteWalkaround thanks for the response! I know it’s extra work, but it’s at the forefront of my mind when I watch these.
If you could buy stock in channels that were going to go big this would be my number 1 pick. BTW you should do a Cessna 414 video.
Great analygy. Thanks
Nice video! Love the Duke!
Can't wait for the Bede BD4.
Nice video. Not sure I'd bet money on the $8k annual.
Thanks. 6 to 10 was the range I got from a Duke speciality shop. Don't forget the hourly maintenance cost that covers misc repairs during and outside annual inspection.
You should do the Murphy rebel/elite
Seems like a ton of systems to monitor and things to potentially fail.
1:23 That is a very, very powerful looking plane.
Thanks!
Wow, Thanks!! You made my day!
“You’d be wrong, but I’d forgive you.” 😆
Could you do a Waco YMF-5F? Beautiful aircraft
Do the PAC 750xstol !
Please do the Cessna U206 and/or TU206
#Complete Walkaround . Make a video for Beechcraft Staggerwing Cost of Ownership. Thank you.
Piper Colt please!
NEW VIDEO!!! Woooooo
When Pilatus PC-12
cost to own a papa 51 thunder mustang next? TIA
How much money does it take to own/operate a Duke? .... all of it!
What about the Cessna 425 Turboprop
What about the 425 indeed... Conquest fan?
Beauty
Will you do cost to own of a fouga magister?
Hey got a 2 plane for you beech musketeer and b95
Working on Beech Sierra, pretty close
Yessss boom finally
"The equivalent of about 15 Toyota Corollas" Real Life Lore crossover?
Would love to know the cost of a g115 tutor
Piper Pacer 150HP? Citabria 7GCBC?
Does it compete with those though? It is only a 5 seater....
Yes. The number of seats is GA planes if limited to how many they can fit in. Not how many people they can carry. Duke has similar performance to all these other planes and similar or even better carrying capacity.
Next metroliner 3?
Does the b60 Duke have an AC or a heating?
Oh ya
Aren't beach dukes like... Kinda Unsafe? These TIO 541 engines seem to be somewhat more unreliable compared to the venerable O 540. ;)
It's as if they're some kind of hazardous Dukes, or perhaps Dukes of hazard, if you will
The Duke is perfectly safe and a very sturdy aircraft typical of Beechcraft.
Why does this plane require extra attention to detail with these engines? I'm not a pilot, just a flight simmer for now.
Hi. The TSIO541 is considered a bit fragile in being more highly stressed to produce 380hp from an engine that typically makes 350 in the PA31 Chieftain. The cylinders are liquid cooled, a unique feature of the 541. Ham-fisted operation of the engines will usually result in a bent crankshaft or a blown / seized turbo. Running with incorrect mixtures will blow holes in pistons and burn valves. They are fine if operated correctly but are not generally considered suitable for the charter market where you have a constant stream of junior pilots coming through to make their hours and then bugger off to the big shiny jet. As a personal or corporate aircraft with one or two experienced, well trained pilots - no problem. They are pretty expensive though, almost better off either downsizing to a Baron or stepping up to a Kingair.
An-2? 😁
I love the concept of this channel, but the figures you cite here are drastically low. Annuals on this airplane are going to regularly run twice the quoted value, and the overwhelming majority of owner pilots are going to be paying $13K-$16K to insure it. In terms of the DOC's, fuel right now is going to be closer to $300/hr, and engine reserves are closer to 100hr with current overhaul prices. It's more like $1650/hr on 50hrs per year, $1100/hr on 100hrs per year, and $850/hr on 200hrs per year.
So… if I find a Duke with old tired engines, I could get it cheap, buy fifteen Toyota Corollas, cram those engines in and I would still be ahead!!
When you talk about engine reliability it sounds like you are talking about wankel engine...
Have a DUKE - wonderful plane - I think you all copy paste from some past and former DUKE articles - It does not get better if you repeat things that are wrong. Ask the DUKE flyers if they like their planes...
