    867 Shaft Horsepower! When you set full takeoff power and hold the breaks its full right rudder to try and keep it straight down the runway! Love flying the EX, enjoyed the video.

      Is that a basic takeoff technic for a single engine prop€?

    Lovely video Stef. I didn't appreciate how big a plane it is UNTIL you see the final few seconds of the video with the guy at the front of the aircraft. Wow!

    Hi Stefan, many thanks for this fabulous vid. Brought back memories of flying from Maun into the Okavango delta in one of these caravans. Tour leader weighed all our luggage as the plane was ‘full’. Got to sit next to the pilot and checked with him about the permissible loading of the plane: he laughed hard and took off like a rocket. Landed and took off from a gravel runway. Never felt so much acceleration in a small plane with 10 on board. Bet having the controls was a blast...envious as hell. Keep on exploring and sharing your experiences on different types: love it. Cheers

    I was fortunate to fly the previous caravan over lake eyre in full flood. I was on a scenic flight , the pilot gave me control ,great experience.

    867 from 675 is a very nice increase ! That should definitely should be noticeable on take off.

    Whats the RRP ( plus on road costs?) Fantastic vision as always Stef and a great guy to fly with. Melbourne looked great on such a lovely day !! It appears to be such a versatile aircraft and probably also suited for operations with the RFDS ? Well done again mate as always !!

    Just Do It Stef! Started skydiving in my 40s. Continued through my 50s. It will add a new level of confidence and ability to manage cockpit tasks. Skip the tandem and take the AFF course straight away. You won’t regret it. Just Do It! 😉
    Ps... And naturally I would expect a complete video series.

    Stefan, I bought that headphone splitter you had recommended in a much earlier video, was getting a lot issues with my headset, and at one point the audio cut out, where I could not hear ATC. Just curious how you are capturing your radios comms currently in 2019, wondering if anything has changed for you.

    I don't know why i like this type of aircraft maybe because i love camping. This aircraft can go to rough and rugged places like Africa and Deep inside Amazon and Indonesia. Maybe one day i can own it. I hope.

    Ok Mr Bean!! You got me hooked. Your video for the Singapore Airlines training facility popped up in my suggestions, l clicked and 👍, then thought who is this guy and where have you been hiding. I am an absolute Aviation geek (you get that when your ex hubby is a MA pilot), lm addicted by default😅😅
    Your videos are so awesome and top that off with lm from Melbourne Australia, soooo l subbed for more. Thankyou and keep up the great content.

    talks about ray bans yet they both have polarized lenses with glass cockpit...

    • @StefanDrury
      @StefanDrury  5 лет назад

      No rules stating you can’t use polarising lenses in a glass cockpit. I fly a glass SR22 and sometimes fly with polarising lenses in that too. Each to their own.

    • @nsfbob
      @nsfbob 5 лет назад

      Polarized lenses only matter if they end up blocking out some of your displays. I almost never have an issue with mine unless I rotate my head all the way to one side

    • @jullianlucas7035
      @jullianlucas7035 5 лет назад

      Stefan Drury im not saying you cant use them. Sometimes polarized lenses can give distorted colors or give the “rainbow effect” on glass cockpit displays thats all. So generally most pilots get non polarized to ensure that doesnt happen
