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.

    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!

    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.

    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?

    • @flywiththeguys

    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!!!

      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.

      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.

    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 ?

    • @flywiththeguys

      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
