@8:29 "Hey! Good job Matt. That's what I wanted."

Matt, I need to sell my Quicksilver 2s now and get a 701! Keep up the good work, fly safe!

That looks like a very capable airplane. A few of them are residing at my local airport, and the owners love them. Cheers from Winnipeg.

Camera's perfect Matt

great vid Matt love the camera angle its great you have so much freedom to land in fields ..

Agree, thumbs up for the tail view.

Yeah love watching your videos Matt. The view from the tail camera is great 👍🏻keep up the work 🇬🇧

Where is vickie,,,its her turn,in the zenith,,,love it

That's great! No more snow! ( definitely a four letter word. ) You can fly low and see the farmers who are outstanding in their fields!😂 Seriously, the photo angles are perfect. Makes me feel I'm right there with you. And what nice is that we all can learn with you the tech aspects of your plane. Take care.😎👍

Cameras are perfect IMO. Tail camera is next level.

Great Job, Tail cam fantastic- don't change

That was a great video. I really like all the camera angles.

Glad the weather cleared up! Great video Matt! The tail cam fix on the horizon vs aircraft... jury out from me... unless you're doing banking. Tail spin stalls might be interesting. Hehehe! Glad you got the formidable fuel cluster orchestrated in your head. That's why I always topped off. Have a good one!

It's great how you control your CH 701 and how you can land it on narrow country lanes! Good decision to change the defective fuel gauge.

Dude that little jump at the end there was AWESOME 😂So cool bro that AIRPLANE IS SWEEEEET!!

LOL, I gotta work on getting slower on my approach so I can stop before I get to the pavement and the little jump. 🙂

Great video Matt. Love the 701, keep the fun rolling.

It's easy to turn your plane around on those roads. Shut off the engine, get out, walk back to the tail. Pull down on the tail till the nose wheel comes off the ground. Then just spin the plane around in place, holding the nose up.. Presto.🙂

Nice flying mate.

love those Jabiru engines! good aussie made product.

love your vids, you have the right airplane to play with short fields, just need to use those flaps :-) then the fun begins..

awesome video hello from Australia.

Great video map from down in Texas

Hey, good job Matt! That's what I wanted 👍😅

I like the tale cam .

After commenting on the last video about the tail cam, you're right about how it keeps the horizon somewhat level with the plane pitching & yawing (to an extent) then moves appropriately with your turns. It must've been a long day at work for me that day, making the comment about the last video & me not being in the proper frame of mind for a *CORRECT* comment about the new tail video. My apologies! I think the current setting is spot-on!

Hey matt, good job. Just like I wanted.

Nice

Nice. Landings are super sketchy dude 😂 like that wing camera i thought you were going to clip the trees on the right😂 just kidding good stuff.. ohh camera idk. keep it locked in with the air frame... That way it looks like we are also strapped to the back tail.... All good 👍 do post videos of you flying the 🦫 Beaver....

Hey good job that’s what I wanted. 😂

Should check on installing the new style bubble doors, they are stronger and supposedly seal better. the one you have, have a history of leaving the plane while in flight.

Updated doors arrived a few days ago. They require quite a bit of assembly to install though so I'm not sure how quickly I'll get them on.

Hello Matt, great Video. What size and length are your door springs? Do they hold the door open well? Thanks

@mmatt

Жыл бұрын

Too well, that's how I broke the pilot's side door - I tried to close it with the spring in place still. I've taken the spring off and I don't intend on replacing it. lol I'd guess that they are about 10 inches long and about a half inch diameter.

When you landed at Tim's the footage from the strutcam makes it look like the left main wheel isn't turning at times. It could totally be an effect of the frame rate, but initially when you land it is visibly apparent that the wheel is turning (eg touchdown), then a few seconds later as you roll out, not so much. It seems like the brakes remove any freewheel when you're aloft. I'd guess you would definitely feel a wheel being locked-up on the grass, but would you feel both locking if your were getting light on your wheels?

They just stop fast. I'm trying to decide whether to leave it like that or free them up. If I free them up I'll have to balance them. lol

LOL, yes it was.

Where is it Vicky?

Question for ya, what were your approach speeds at with the zero flaps on this flight and about what were you touching down at? How does this compare to the beaver? (faster obviously with no flaps). I'm just curious how much faster for the zenith compared to the beaver? Tail cam is good, I like this mode. Again, thanks for all your vids - I know they are a lot of work, effort and expense, but they are very much appreciated.

@mmatt

Жыл бұрын

I'm currently approaching at around 50 mph on the (wildly inaccurate) airspeed indicator which is still quite fast for this plane. I'm still working my speed down as I get more comfortable with it. The minimum safe approach speed for the Beaver is 40 solo and 45 dual. I suspect I'll be able to do 35 solo and 40 dual in the Zenith once I have more experience.

Hey Matt,maybe it's just my eyes,but it doesn't look like your ailerons and flaps are trimmed alike.Wondering if this may cost you some speed?

@mmatt

Жыл бұрын

The flaps are connected directly to the ailerons; this configuration is called flaperons. The "droop" where the flaps would be is how they add washout to the wing without having to twist the wing itself.

Hi Matt, You have to explain to your audience what happened to Vicky. You were a team and suddenly it is different. No need to go into detail.
