Off Airport with 3 Carbon Cubs Day 2
Ойын-сауық
This is day 2 with Bruce Graham and Bill Holmes flying around Northern Nevada in the #CubCrafters #CarbonCub #Pilottraining. We are #FlyingCowboys and this is #Aviation. Bill has an SS and Bruce flies an FX3. Mine is a hermaphrodite of an FX2. All 3 are very capable aircraft.
Today we go into the high country landing above 9000 feet all morning.
Density altitude is up over 10,000 plus feet and power and energy management is critical on days like this. Carrying a bit of speed on touchdowns is also critical as the air is just not supportive of your wing unless you do such. Flying up high is a whole different skill set that many pilots are just not comfortable with. Winds are different up high, your horse power is generally cut in half and you alway hear me preach about power and energy management. It is absolutely critical.
A pilot cannot train enough to prepare for days like this. It can get very real quickly!
Train yourself in slow flight, spot landings, know your stall characteristics of your aircraft given the various configurations and practice practice practice.
I continue to hear about how someone might want to go out and try the various things you may see on the internet. I respect that but honestly, I grew up watching the Dukes of hazard. I still have not tried to out run the law or jump over a train because it was on tv. Same goes for the old and bold comments you often hear. Pilots are responsible for their own safety and their passengers as well. Training is essential for a good experience. Thats what we all want. If you don't train and prepare, odds are your experience will not be the one your're looking for. My dad always said "son you cant fix stupid". Thats very real. Use your head and have some common sense. Get training and continue to make your self better. The wind is not always going to be a head wind on landing. Learn to land in all different wind directions. All of this will only help you become better for your own safety and your passengers.
I encourage anyone to come and fly here with us. I promise you will learn something. I know I do almost every day.
I post these videos for one purpose. The promotion of aviation. Hopefully it inspires you and others in the hopes that you too will go flying or take someone with you. Get fired up and make it happen. Aviation has limitless opportunities and its up to all of us to make it safe and continue the quest of being the best we can be and good stewards of the land we fly.
Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy this Day 2 of Flying with 3 Carbon Cubs.
You're not going to want to miss the next video coming, "My road to flying and owning a Stearman. If you like these videos please share it. Leave me a comment. Come fly with me. Make sure you watch Day 1 of this mini series as we fly around the lower lands on Northern Nevada.
I appreciate your time here and following along.
Cheers and again, thank you for watching!
Now go flying if you can!
Kevin

Kevin, if you’re only creating videos to inspire and promote.... Mission accomplished. God Bless the Flying Cowboys
Hey, Everyone! I was pretty intrigued by the crosses after we landed there, and wanted to know the story. I ended up calling the editor to the local paper, and he told that he wrote a story about them around 10 years ago. It was a guy that put one up for his brother, and then added more as other siblings passed away. His girlfriend also added one for one of her siblings.
To celebrate Aviation Week I went down to Reno and got my Class 3 Medical certificate yesterday. Now all I need is a CFI/CFII and a block of time to do this thing. I’m READY!
Now thats a flying Video!!! thank you for shareing.
I love watching all you guys from trent to Mike I'm jealous always wanted to fly.... spent many hours in thy back seat of the Helicopter while its was working for Nevada department of Wildlife building Guzzlers .I had you guys fly over me while fishing Pyramid lake in my Kayak while fishing.... I really enjoy watching you all in theses times if so much negatively..... I'll see you guys somewhere in sure... Edub
Very nice, thanks!
Thank you for the video.
Beautiful filming! Thanks Kevin!!
Bahahah Kevin you look like you're freezing you ass off at the end in that Biplane lol. Breathe hold.......breathe....Hold lmao.
Awesome video bud! The feel good vibe of this one is off the chart!
As usual an excellent presentation!
These are great videos Kevin!
Love this
Videography off the hook! Great flying by all! Thanks for giving me a front seat!
Great video! Be safe, have fun!
Wow...that 360 over the lake was astonishing. Well done Kevin!
Kevin it was a real treat to catch you and Trent @S39 in the Stearman what a beautiful bird, I have never seen one so finely restored. Thanks for the pic. I hope you guys get up here again. Blessings Shawn Vickers
Cool video - thanks for taking us along. That 360 cam is a bit of a mind bender.
Thank you for the video. Some nice looking country to fly and land. Take care -- be safe. 'Spin'
Dang miss the live Kevin but that flip N made my evening, nice FULL slip,across Tahoe. .LOL
Like it, love it, wish I was there 🤗😊
Great video!
I have been enjoying the instructions on power management and the like. Keep them coming. Great job. Kitfox owner, Tom Upstate NY
I'm learning to like the 360. It's not over exposed even when facing right into the sun. I wonder how they do that. Flying Cowboy. You wear it proud, Kevin!
Just awesome my friend. We are going to have to wait on my knee for our hook up, torn meniscus again. Needed this video right now, the fire is close, needed a break from all the stress. Love the footage over Tahoe, that 360 camera is a game changer for sure. Will stay in touch.
Simply Exceptional. Your comments below the vlog are totally valid. As always thanks for your efforts and kindness in sharing.
Crosses might be a group hit by lightning. Fantastic video as alway, Kevin.
Great job on the videos and thanks for talking us through your flight. Please tell me more about how your plane is equipped ( power plant, tires, camera etc).
Kevin I loved the shadow work - when you took off it was the shadows that told you three not two of you were flying and your shadow passing across the top if the yellow. Now back to the Stearman - more of all that Please. You all are so funny and it is so enjoyable to be able to "feel", via video, what you all have and do. thanks as always! - R
Great Video, You have inspired me to go get a private pilot license, Between Trent and Mike Patey I am hooked, at 66 lets do this , plenty of time to study during this beer virus!

Yes!!! Get it done!
More great stuff Kevin - and for sure that Insta Cam gives some terrific shots, although it's super wide angle does give some strange views at times!. Fantastic scenery. Said before I think - you are one lucky fella :)
Im gonna fly like that someday soon !!
Nice video. Why would anyone in their right mind give it thumbs down ?
dude..you guy are indeed inspire me to take flying again! I only have 24 hrs flight time in a taylorcraft but I hope to be in position to take flying lesson when I move to FL. My ultimate goal is to get sea rating sport certificate (as I am hard of hearing) and go from there. Right now I'm living in Oregon and I'm trying to get a job transfer for next year. If I can do that I can save $20,000 a year. So looking forward to this. I want to make videos like you and call it "The flying surfer's".
Outstanding Kevin & Guy's....l enjoys every min. of it...That wing camera is very good WOW Thanks....What is the deal with the cross's ??
Looking forward to the wind in your face bi-plane stuff!
Pretty dang good! Not a huge fan of the 360, but growing on me.
Whoa, amazing camera angles make you all look like half decent pilots. 😝
Gotta enjoy life, how I know it guys!
That's where I've been burring my pet gerbils for the last 10 years.
Congratulations Weston!! was that before or just now?
Rad!
I need some big tires.....how much debris do they kick up ....rips n holes n wings ? Great spots just desert here in west Texas
Seriously thought Kevin was going to propose at 3:43 😲

Your videos are very nice and your flying skills are top notch. My only complaint would be that the engine and prop make such beautiful music, why cover it up with so much other less desirable music? HaHa! The aviation and adventure part is amazing though!!!
Is there no way to find out what those crosses marked or indicated? ....would love to know. John M.
lol "Insta360 cam makes for some neat comment" Makes the yellow cub look like it is flying sideways.
So dope! How does one join your gang?

You mean 9100 ASL, right, not 9100' above the lake?! I like the down hill landing at 5:49, those really show the importance of keeping the speed low as possible on final.

portnuefflyer Lake Tahoe is 6223’ when full, it’s 6220 right now I think waterdata.usgs.gov/usa/nwis/uv?site_no=10337000 and the tallest peak above my house at Tahoe’s North Shore, Nevada side is Mt Rose, the peak is 10,785’. There’s about 4000’ of mountains around here, above lake level.
Nice scenery. Camera distortion sux.
3:55 Song please
