Ryan give yourself some credit. You might not have the resume of some pilots but you sure impress us with the skills that you have in operating in mountainous areas where the airports have unimproved runways in areas were a lot of us will have a hard time to even find the airport. Your videos are informative and in a way positive to promote aviation in areas where I thought it was too dangerous and perhaps impossible. Always looking forward to see your next video.
Yes Ryan, it’s true!
We love you Ryan! Continued prayers for your safety and for your family. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!
What a great place to practice when there is room to do takeoffs and landings constantly! One can never get that on airstrips.
Oh, zip-ties and multimeter thermometer wire makes a new meaning for experimental!😃
Ryan, what a beautiful day to be out in that great big sky! Please be careful. Don't take risks with your parts for the plane. Ensure that you have quality parts that are going to do their job, so that you can do yours safely. God bless you as always!!! ❤️
This is cool. Period! Keep up the awesome videos, been following for a while.
love these more personal videos of you and your plane!
Another great video
Many thanks pal it's really appreciated
Very cool!
You got a great resume, Buddy. You have been doing some great flying !!
Been flying Kitfoxes for 25 years now. 1500 or so hours in 10 different ones with lots of rough, off field, and aerobatics. I've seen lots of seat pan falling issues in other ones. The zip ties work just fine if done properly. Some people trim too much of the seat pan lip off. Others don't use enough zip ties. 4 good ones along the bottom and 4 along top work fine as designed. All they do is clamp a lightweight seat pan onto the frame. They don't support any load and they get changed every year. Ive seen nervous people use hose clamps but they aren't really necessary.
You’re a “real” owner…screech..$10.00.
Love your videos. Quite personal and honest
Maybe a better landing would have only cost you $5.00 in tire rubber. Just saying..... 🤠
Nice tail dragging Ryan. Looks way to fun. Enjoying the videos.
Great fun! 🙏
Good morning from Minnesota!! Great episode!
Awesome, have a good day, Ryan.
Ryan, you could make some spacers to prevent the seat from being able to drop all the way onto the control cables(rods?) Also as an A&P since 1983, any competent A&P could come up with a permanent, airworthy, fix to your seatpan issue.....If I were closer to you, I would happily do whatever it would take to repair your issue just for being able to have a conversation with you about your flying career.
My best wishes to you and your family, Ryan.
Enjoyed the flight.
That was a bit scary with the loose seat pan but such a fun flight, another awesome video Ryan👍
Lookin good on them touch downs !👌
Good one Bryan. When I saw the title I thought that your new tail wheel had broken. Trent Palmer had an issue with the seat pan. That of course isn't a problem that you want either. 😊 I bought a Kitfox series seven setup with trike gear and I will fly it that way for a while but I will want to convert it to a tail dragger and that tail wheel looks to be a great option. 👍
Awesome to hear you got a kitfox
Thanks....
Good to see you chose safety first over fun when your seat pan dropped. Could you fly from the right seat? Could have been a safe option too. Well done, love your videos mate! Yianni from Australia. (Aspirational pilot/ aircraft engineer/artist)
When doing ones PPL, everyone is of course taught the "pitch for speed, power for climb/descend" mantra.
The reality is of course, as you say, a little more grey, subtle and should be adapted for conditions. Currently doing my instrument rating with a VERY professional jet pilot - his advice in the approach stage is to just switch it out, because that's the way you'd be flying a bigger piece of metal anyway. "Use pitch to aim for the touchdown zone and power to control your speed - you're gonna need to do it that way eventually so may as well make it now". I actually prefer it, as it's more intutive and accurate for the approach side of things. I've used it for some short field approaches and it works brilliantly for that too.
Understood. It's definitely logical. There's a chance though that the 'new' way that's more suitable for jets could increase the danger for learners.
Imagine a learner when beginning his landings, who one day realizes when quite close to the threshold that he's going to undershoot, so [if being taught the new way, which in addition [as you point out] is more intuitive] he pulls back the stick, without any power increase, and stalls in. The 'mantra' of the old conventional way of instructing lessens that risk.
The reality of course is that each single control operation affects both conditions at once, or conversely, one condition can be changed without affecting the other by judicious use of both control inputs together. Now, an experienced pilot can switch from one system to the other, or just do what he wants with the plane without being conscious of any system at all. But, if a beginner is being taught, when at altitude or cruising, to add power to climb and reduce it to descend, etc, and then on the approach is expected to use the new system, that's tantamount to instructing with two diametrically opposite systems and expecting the inexperienced pupil to keep them separate.
When I was learning there was controversy on this point among the instructors. The point of that increased risk still applies, for PPL pupils. It seems to me that not all of them are going to go on to need the jet technique, and the ones that do go on to that, are by then quite experienced enough to be able to learn the new habit within an hour or so. So, I reckon the old way is still the best.
@@robwilde855 Traditional definitely probably works better for beginners, but as you say, there comes a time to switch it out with experience - I would not think of pitching up without first referencing the ASI to see if things are in reasonable whack, but a beginner could easily make this mistake. Not sure how IR is taught in different countries, but here, my instructor has me flying approaches at far higher speeds than normal (the dirty little secret of IR of course being the faster you fly it, the more stable you are and the less tweaking you need to do to stay in the glidescope/localiser min deflections). Pitch for targeting the runway intercept then makes little difference to speed, which is already high. Once you breakout, in a SEP the inherent drag makes adjusting back down to SEP Vrefs with power really easy, whilst still maintaining your targeting with pitch. In a jet, you're going to need that speed anyway and would have been flying the recommended Vrefs already.
That's awesome....IR is very cool....enjoy the training!!!!
Happy to see you again because a pilot in Indonesië papua is held hostage. Philips Mehrtens. Take care over there
care
ON the issue of the seat pan sliding down, a model 4 pilot in Canada installed a strap from aft top seat support to front support to keep the seat from sliding down onto the control torque tubes. It looks like he sewed the strap on both ends. I don't know how he sewed the cargo strap, but I would suggest two straps. If you use Harbor Freight straps you could cut out the seat pan were the hooks go over the support tubes, then place the seat cushions in da plane.
On my Kitfox 4, I use 1/4" wide x 12" long zip ties on the seat pan. I wrap them around twice before they are fastened (zipped) together. 4 total across the bottom of the seat and also on the top as well.
that's what I'm going to do, pick up some heavy duty ones, and the double wrap sounds like a good idea. thx
nice ryan.. i'll be at sun n fun this year, most likely.. the school has asked if i wanted to help.
I really like your stream =) and you have an awesome job!
Your seat is a mission-critical component that shouldn't rely on a zip-tie to secure it and support 200+ lbs. Look into all the regulations concerning passenger car seats. They're there for a reason.
While you're just practicing in general right now, you might want to grab a pack of cheap cones and lay out some runway options to practice on at the dry lake. Keeps you honest when you're practicing crosswind landings, and gives you a touchdown point so you can eyeball the rollout distance easier.
Then for takeoffs, you can set a cone where you think you'll be ready to rotate and check your estimate in realtime.
That seat pan has caused you problems in the past. Remember you fitting cable ties. Perhaps hose clamps would be good. You know, it’s the clamps used to secure radiator hoses in cars etc. They are good a strong, perhaps that’s what you mentioned anyway? Thanks for the flight, boy it is barren out there, so different to the jungles and mountains of PNG. Have a great day…….Roger
safe back to earth ,safety first
Installing lights/electronics on any vehicle is always a bigger job than it seems. Ask my jeep haha can't imagine doing so on an airplane.
When you said grass I was thinking like lawn grass. Ha.
That rudder looks like half the plane!
Thanks Ryan. Cool times and great tail wheel experiences and training too. How did you end up in Kingman, AZ out of all the USA? Family, friends, major sponsoring church home? Just curious but no need to discuss if the subject is personal or sensitive. May God bless you and yours richly in the days ahead. Thomas the Tax Man.
Honestly, we just picked Kingman out of AZ. We could buy more of a house for the same price, rental markets were a tad bit higher for the cost of the house. Nothing specific.
If you fly my kitfox in the rough, Tony will be selling some shockmonster.
I bet that tailwheel would work on my Mini Cooper
12 years in experimental aircraft here. Seat failure has resulted in fatalities so do take steps to ensure your safety.
Well noted. I'll be sure to come up with a better fix this time
I was sad when you left PNG, but now I'm glad to know you are safe in the US. The missionary bush pilot being held as hostage in PNG by the revolutionaries reminds me that your work there was dangerous in more ways than the obvious ones with bush flying.
Gone are the days when missionary bush pilots were treated as Gods by the natives. 🧐🤠😟
Master the wheel landing and you won’t go back to three point unless it’s super short runway. Plus wheel landing is the same thing as sea plane landing
A plane held together with Zip ties that imparts a ton of confidence
Check out the Bushcat airplane by Sky Reach
Yeh that's what I thought too... and whenever I see Experimental I think, Hmmmm. 😉
Totally thought you were talking about the tailwheel again
Thankfully no
"No traffic"? What about any non-radio equipped aircraft?
Hey Ryan are all those commercial jets sitting on the tarmac are they boneyard planes or just grounded aircraft??
Just grounded extra jets
Ryan I wish I could fly with you I know how to Taxi and take off
Will you be coming back for Airventure this year? We would like to see you back in July!
man I wish. I will be leaving for PNG in June
Nothing like the desert from a desert rat in the Mojave..
Fine flying...seat mounting has to be a top priority...thx
clickbait ! 🤣 Yeah that's a good call to see made, reinforces the decision making process should always be key. Love seeing the plane out, that lakebed is incredible, can see why you wanted a bush plane like this in that part of the world. Would love to see the eventual fix you make to the seat too, as I really don't understand what the problem is/was.
Didn’t know you’re up here in Aritucky now
Can you do an experiment for me? It's going to sound crazy but I honestly think it's do-able. Fly slow circles over a lake while your buddy fishes out the window.if he can get the fish line in the center of the circle, the line would just Bob there. That's the experiment, I'm actually hoping he doesn't catch a fish, that would be weird.
Can you fly from the right seat until you fix the left seat issue? I really enjoy all of your videos, but I think the PNG are the best.
Well, the seat pan is actually one full pan that spans over both sides.
@@MissionaryBushPilot Thanks for the reply. I didn't know how the seats are configured. I'm 30 miles from the Sun n Fun here in Florida, I hope to see you there.
How to say this...Back to New Guinea , will that journey provide you with a retirement fund ? USA workers get paid for the last 40 quarters they work. Currently they have a retirement fund, will you ? Maybe a regional airline pilot job now will allow you to keep your plane and provide your future. Its your life
stick and paper with a little glue
Talk to Trent Palmer, he had the same problem and he found a permanent fix for it.
This seems like a lot more fun than that boring old Kodiak! Now you are flying by the seat of your pants, eh?
its def. different. I kinda like parts of both personally
I love you work and your heart for God - as a fellow Christian aviator (hopefully a Missions pilot soon) I do question this 'off field craze', aviation has mostly been and must be the domain of the , fastidiously careful, forethinking, planning perfectionists, with no room for chancers or chance-taking, this relatively new STOL off-field craze where pilots basically seem to be taking ahuge risks everytime they put down just seems reckless and contrary to what aviation should be, it harkens back to the barnstorming days which to us who weren't there sees like the glory days of no regulation but the ratio of crashes and deaths threatened to end leisure and even commercial aviation forever, rules and regulations are necessary, cowboying and having fun is one thing in the water or on wheels but I just feel it has no place in aviation. You are probably one of the more careful aviators but its this activity I question.
Start your night flights late into the evening and enjoy the twilight into dark and learn see as the night progress for you get use to the night... Then fly late into the night, so as to get your full 3 Night landings...
Is there some reason why you opt to touch the tailwheel before lifting it again rather than doing a 'wheelie'? Greatest risk at fastest speed.
because I can touch down much slower if I do a three point landing as opposed to just a wheel landing
So quick question: Why couldn't you fly from the right hand seat? It looks like it set up for a co-pilot and you would still have a view of the glass instruments if you needed them?
Because the seat pan is one unit that goes over both sides
@@MissionaryBushPilot That makes a weird kind kind of sense given the "Kit" in the name.
Are all those planes at the airport in Storage
most of them yes
Pan broke? Fly from the right seat?
its a bench seat
Fly from the right seat?
its a bench seat
The aileron push rod is on the left side only. A seat collapse does jam it pretty well.(I found out the hard way) The right side doesn't transfer as much weight.
That seat mount is as dodgy as... Held in with a zip tie and has the ability to critically restrict control movements, yeah nah.
Bit different to PNG, mate.
That seat pan is a terrible design. a protective metal shield over the controls and the seat should have been there since manufacturing.
I was a 26 year law enforcement officer. Rule #1 was always “Don’t get dead”. I imagine flying is the same.
That is an AWESOME rule....THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
i have every tool on the planet. what u need?
I need a way to grind down the aluminum on my door handles so they fit better
@@MissionaryBushPilot after the snow melts I will leave a sticky note on your kitfox door window with my contact info so we can communicate better regarding proper tools u need
The most important lesson I learned in my life, I learned from the Bible and that is how to treat your slaves, the rules a written in detail .
Quit breaking stuff
The aircraft builder fastened the seats with ZIP TIES? How about some spit and paper mache? Talk about gross negligence....
The seats and the installation on those light airframes are garbage. You need a real floor with real rails and proper padded seats. Also, minutiae commentary while flying isn’t safe.
Do you feel comfortable having a conversation while you drive a car? It's the same for me while flying.
@@MissionaryBushPilot .....and I get the total sense that you are having this conversation with yourself--in your head.....ANYWAY.... and you are just vocalizing your conversation. This IS a valid form of self check for ongoing things that you are doing, and one of the reasons you are such a good pilot, Ryan.....always thinking about what you are doing....and why!!!
MBP,;;; HELLO RYAN,I has the left seat suddenly go backwards
