Welcome to Fly with the Guys!
Here we inspire new pilots and help them along the way. Join us on our flights out of Deer Valley Airport in Phoenix, Arizona AND follow us as we rebuild our 1939 J3 Cub that we've affectionately named the Red Rocket, probably the most hated J3 Cub on the internet...
I'm just a pilot sharing my experiences and what I've learned with the world. These videos are not meant to be replace primary instruction or to be advisory in any respect. They are for entertainment and informational purposes only.
Same goes with our rebuild project, I'm not a airplane mechanic, but I do work with one for a lot of the project.

Crazy Bright LED Beacon Install | AEROLEDS Sunbeacon II
My plane had no electrical or lights when I got it. @AeroLEDS decided to help us out with the lighting part. In this video we install the their Sunbeacon II to the back of our plane with some fancy 3D printed airplane parts. But since I'm a bit too large to fit in the back of my plane, I enlisted my 8 year old daughter to help with the install.

Get A Medical Certificate BEFORE Flight Training! | 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Class Medical
Unless the fuel lines were still intact, I would say that that was not the cause of fuel starvation. Those leaf cutter bees made that after the crash and the lines were left open and accessible. Better keep looking for the cause!
Same happened to me on final. Wind switched from a gusting right quarter head to tail. Plane almost flipped and was heading for the trees. Full power, flaps up and had to climb asap. Scary as heck and will never forget the lesson. Thanks for sharing.
How to record audio from Bose a20 headset using my iPhone ( I want to also record the footage from iPhone so I want to get footage and all audio from iPhone. Is there any way to connect to the headset and plane to work and do this?
I had a bad landing in introductory flight 😅
I'm currently going through ground school and I hate it. The concepts I'm trying to study are just not getting into my head and it makes me feel like an idiot. And then it pushes me further down as I begin to doubt if I'll ever be able to put in any hours in flying.
Even flying night VFR on dark moonless lights over sparsely seattled rural country would REQUIRE the pilot to be able to control the plane entirely by referring to his instrument. And this fact has caused many accidents. I'd recommend about 20 hours of Night-Dual and another 20 hours of Instrument Training before flying at night under such conditions.
Dark night flying is about as close to IFR you're going to get if you live in an area like mine.
I did my first call yesterday, and I went blank. 😅😅
I had to dig to find this. Made it with my instructor. He called the push to talk button a brain disconnect button. ua-cam.com/video/1bAeMJY_asc/v-deo.htmlsi=zs45wx1upLVMjcw0&t=187
@@flywiththeguys I actually saw that video. 🤣🤣🤣
Ran out of money after getting taken advantage of by a CFI who needed hours and really wasn’t a good instructor… 32 hours with 72 takeoffs and landings and still not even a mention of soloing. I quit for 9 months but always had it in my mind that I would return… now I’m back at it at a different school with much better CFIs.
I'm glad you got back with it. I really hate instructors like your first one there.
@@flywiththeguys he was definitely suspect. Had me practicing flying at different airports and doing cross country’s before soloing.
Now that is a story she will be telling her kids! The time she helped grandpa build his airplane 😎. We’ll done Carl!
Lolz that’s his daughter
He said it right. She'll tell her kids one day, which would be my grandkids. =)
Great video Carl. AeroLEDs are all over my Kitfox. Being seen is Life in aviation and especially in the airspace you will very soon be operating. Great choice of a family owned and operated company. 👍👍 All your sponsors have really stepped up for your project.
Thanks Steve! The next AeroLeds video I do will be with a secret project of theres. =)
I took a Discovery Flight recently and here is a question if you'd be kind to answer. The flight instructor was super nice, but the plane (172s Cessna with G1000) was beat up. The dash material was completely ripped off, right hand tire grooves had dry-rod. The tire on the right did not match the the tire on the left. The HDG on the dash was not working as it had a Red cross mark .The plane was was super dirty inside and out. And, they told me that they only had (1) 172S out of (5) in running order. Should I be concerned?
To me that would be a concern. They don't take pride in their aircraft enough to keep them clean and running. I can get past the dirty beat up plane, but 1/5 working is kinda a red flag for me.
@@flywiththeguys thank you!
Great video on aviation radio! I have used the Plane English once before and I would also strongly reccomend this app!! I will buy again when I am ready to train my brain for cross country radio!
Totally agree!
I guess you’ll need grand kids soon so you can keep maintaining your aircraft lighting
My oldest just graduated high school.... it could be sooner than I expect. YOu never know!
I just went blind!!!!!! Oh yea, what a CUTE lil A&P!!!!! I bet she is just like Rudder.... Getting away with absolute murder because of the cuteness factor..
She can. If my boys ever asked me to help them hid a body I would be all like "you better turn yourself into the police." If she came up to me with the same question, "Let me get the shovel and a tarp."
Awesome work ! your daughter is a true trooper . love that beacon too
Shes killing it. Actually got back in the other day to help me replace the mount. I used the wrong material. We're good now. SO glad I made it serviceable.
Good use of little hands! Also, whenever she see the plane she'll remember the quality time she spent helping dear old dad.
Very true!
As a American new private pilot in Australia, I find it very difficult to understand Australian ATC. I went as far as buying the ATC app to get used to hearing their jargon and how fast they talk, I still struggle, I am sure ATC gets pissed when I ask them to repeat instructions.
Typically, when you add power on a "Go Around", push forward as necessary, the AC instantly goes out of trim. For me, the flaps are my next "to do". For you, that was a "Free-=Be"..! You now have experience that many will never get and you'll likely be an expert at go-arounds, in any AC from here to eternity...:) Thanks for the experience!
LOL! This reminds me of bucking rivets inside the fuselage of my dad’s build when I was her age. (Disclaimer: I had hearing protection!)
I've been doing a bunch of that recently. It's not as fun as I was hoping it would be.
Won’t be long before she will be telling you to move over to the right seat
It's a tandem so she'll be telling me to get in the back. LOL
Bonus points for getting kids involved in aviation. Extra bonus points for putting a wrench in a girls' hands!
She'll help with anything in the plane. She climbed back there again recently and vacuumed the hole thing out.
Aww... Kelsey is adorable. Plane is looking so great! Can't wait to see when it is finished and flying. Hurry up!!! LOL
It's SO close. I'm really behind on videos. In fact, it'll probably be done this week.
@@flywiththeguys Looking forward to it!
The starter you installed is for a 122 tooth ring gear and the one you took off is for a 144 tooth. Did you install the wrong starter or is there womething else you're not telling us?
Someone along the way installed the wrong starter. It's a common problem, enough that Skytec makes a little tool to help you figure out which one you have. We actually made a little video on it here - ua-cam.com/video/ZRkCLNMPM9E/v-deo.html
Our little Hero!!
I know right! I'm at odd with myself of what I'm going to do if I need to remove that mount and she's grown up!
👍✅ A little helping hand can save the day👏Tks for another video Carl
No problem 👍I still owe you a shirt BTW. I'm just been buried.
@@flywiththeguys And I owe you one too!
Hello, I just want to say thanks. My dad got his private pilot's license for almost $12,000, and I also wanted a private pilot's license. I decided to follow the same strategy shown in the video, even tho my dad was not confident, i managed to save over $5,000. I sold the plane for $1,000 less than the original cost, but I still saved a lot of money. I appreciate the knowledge.
NICE! Well done. Like I said, it can be risky but with the right plane it can really work out. Plane values are going down right now too so it's not as easy to pull this off as it was a few years ago. Back then you could have enough appreciation in 3 months to have it pay for your certificate!
what equipment do yall use to record during flight?
This should help - ua-cam.com/video/rbE7Lsc9kiY/v-deo.html But I use the GoPro adapter mostly.
If could get a hold of that electric Pipistrel or buy it then you could save even more on fuel.
The fuels not bad. Maybe a 3rd or less of the cost of a wet rental.
I’m thinking of maybe getting my pilot license I just hope I learn everything without giving up
We have videos on the common reason, and TONS on how to get through it all. =) Check the channel page for help.
Does it count if I’m a writer researching so my MC - who’s supposed to be an amazing pilot - at least sounds like he knows what he’s doing? I’ve also had an off and on interest for my whole life, but was never allowed to fly due to having ADHD even though I’ve wanted to fly since I was 10. So I’m stuck with flight simulators. I want to learn, so that I can at least understand what’s going on. :)
You can still fly sport pilot. =) And any reason to learn ATC is a good reason. ua-cam.com/video/qS6SuxZMlf0/v-deo.html
I found this video to be more confusing
Sorry for that. It's probably the most straight forward video out there. Let me know if you find something better. I'm ready to revamp this stuff!
FAA commercial helicopter pilot out of KTUS here. GREAT INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO and AWESOME DESCRIPTION of what we are all to hear, what to listen to, what to write down/remember/read back, and what is important!! Why did I watch this? I saw the 'old Tucson tower' in the pic for the video and couldn't resist. What did I learn from this: You're very thorough... although you narrated that when calling CD you'd have to specify altitude, you don't really need to, AND you didn't on this flight :) Otherwise spot on. Going to hunt down and see if you have any untowered (CTAF) guidance... may learn something there. If I was going for a fixed-wing transmission I'd consider your outfit [assuming you instruct]. You know what you're doing managing the aircraft, the flying, the communicating, so the trust you build up before I even meet you is already there. I want my passengers to feel the same way getting in my helicopter. Kudos. And by that I mean "Hey this video is super helpful and I hope it makes lots of people uncomfortable with flying in towered airspaces more easily adapt to flying in Class C [or D] airspace!!! Also KDVT is beautiful. Flew there once for a meeting. One of the easiest in-out airspace wise and in-out courtesy car at the FBO wise!!!
Thanks for all that! And I didn't know our FBO had a car. I should pretend to fly in so I can just drive it around. LOL
Wow, thank you for this video. Glory be to God for the safety of you and your family. I'm grateful you're still with us.
How much is it usually if you have had a ppl that has lapsed ten years ago.
You just need a flight review. PPL and hours never expire. It'll be easier because you don't have to start over and go through a checkride. How long, depends on how long it takes you to pick it up again, plus some ground to get caught up.
One very helpful suggestion for student pilots is to mention that fact when making the initial calls. Controllers are generally very accommodating and understanding and will slow down their speech if needed.
This is a true and verified statement.
30 pound weight loss, being "hosted" at OSH, congrats on both! 3:00 you can make that wifi thing a little less annoying. go to settings->wifi, find the "bad" network, press the [i] to the right. You can then turn "auto-join" off.
Thank you! And that was my phone network. I want it to connect to that all the time so I just leave it. =)
I left my flaps down one time on a go around. At KDVT. I was a student my instructor was with me. But he didn’t say anything. He was an old seat of the pants make you learn the hard way instructor. May he RIP, Guy taught me so much. Anyway. I was just trying to climb the airplane , and it just wasn’t right. I knew I couldn’t pull back anymore. I said man this airplane won’t climb he said hum wonder why. I finally realized I left the flaps down and start clearing them. He said oh that’s a good idea. Maybe you can go around now, Because I was about to step out right here on top of that hill. The one just west of I 17. Good job man, I guarantee you will never forget again. At least not The faps on go around.. since that day I brief a possible go around on every landing .
Hi, I'm planning on getting a ppl soon. Quick question, do I need to bring an iPad with an app that displays the airspaces around me or sectionals if I'm flying in VFR?
Nope. It all seems intimidating now, but it's a lit easier than you think. When you learn to fly you'll learn on paper charts anyways. I picked up the iPad towards the tail end of my training. It simplifies the workload on the ground and in the air. Great tool to have, but not needed.
If the check ride portion of the test is open book, then how can you not pass it? Is the oral portion of the test also open book?
The oral portion of the checkride is open book. But if you're looking everything up you'll fail. its more for reference on less critical items. And if you have to look it up you need to know where it is. You cant just search for something. Lets just say, you have to be prepared. You cant just wing it.
Does it take yall 3 months to get ur medical renewed?
Unless there is a problem, they usually give it to you on the spot. It would take time if they have to communicate with the FAA on a few things.
Great explanation ❤
Thanks! I'm glad you think so. =)
ty now i can finnaly play planes games on roblox without being reported
LOL. We get all kinds of sim people in here. Welcome.
Couple things I would have done different - I would have cleaned up the pistons by glass beading them and probably put NEW rings on them. Lightly honed the bore to put a new crosshatch pattern in them. And maybe pulled out all the valves and relapped them As long as you are in there ?
I thought about those things. Should have done it. Not hard stuff to. to. Easy enough for me to take them off again. About an hours worth of work really. =)
1:40 I've been a student pilot for about 6 months now and wanted to warn all of you newcomers regarding how much $$$$$ you must spend. Of course, if you have a millionaire parent, please skip this comment but if you don't, like me, here are some of the costs: Instruments and Joining The Club: It varies but Joining The Club, backpack, books, headset, some measuring instruments can cost about 2 to 3 hundred dollars (I am including a regular in expensive headset not a $1000 Bose headset) Institute fee: which is monthly, and I think for me is $45 a month. Supplemental courses, like Sporty's or King's School about $200 to $500, which are not mandatory but will help you a lot. Ground School: Your institute may provide a Ground school class for about $300 but if you hear from me do not waste your time and money on that as you must do ground schools with your instructor any way. Ground School with your instructor will be between $50 to $80 an hour and you're going to have a lot of hours of Ground School with your instructor. Now let's get into the fun part, Flight Training cost: depending on the aircraft you choose this may vary, normally between $120 to $250 an hour, but for example, I am training with Cessna G 1000 Glass cockpit, which for me for a 2-hour flight plus instructor is about $500 a session. so technically you will have to fly for a minimum of 40 hours (which if you do not have flying experience, this can go higher than 70, 80 or 90 hours), so you do the math for yourself. Also, at the end of your training you must spend another some hundreds of $$$ for the written exam and your check ride. Hope this helped someone out there ;)
Here's the audio on that FLYING TIGER #66 - Listener discretion is advised. ua-cam.com/video/Rr7jr3EzezQ/v-deo.html
So years ago there was a HEAVY cargo flight on approach to an airport in SE Asia. Don't remember the airport name. Anyways, the ATC gave him a vector "Descend two four zero zero". He meant 2,400 feet. The foreign pilot interpreted it as "descend to 400 feet". He descended to 400' feet and died a fiery death as the airplane experienced CFIT (Controlled Flight Into Terrain). Crashed into the ground. Sad but true. Saw it on one of those Aviation Disaster Documentary shows. Agree... don't use "to" or "for", because it may be interpreted as "two" or "four". I'm pretty sure it was Flying Tiger Fight # 66. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Tiger_Line_Flight_66
I like it when some smart a** pilot announces themselves as "Braniff 145". ATC then thinks that they have gone thru a time warp, and that is fun to listen to how they respond. Funny they want the Braniff to call a phone number after they land. I guess ATC is lonely an want to talk? Confused.
It be nice if some GA pilots actually flew the correct pattern (Right handed or Left handed) and didn't descend to TPA while in the pattern. Descend outside the pattern to TPA before you enter the pattern! Those pilot must have a death wish, but I don't want to part of their wish.
I understand but not 100% we've all practiced short field take offs with full flaps and you should be able to climb at vx, but I guess if density altitude is bad enough you need more speed. With full flaps and full throttle we kind of lift straight up feeling with level attitude
What if you don’t have any medical problems?
