i love how you have a crew of other pilots

do you need a certificate for formation flight?

Doing tons of research because I love the idea of a STOL plane. What I'm figuring out is the best STOL plane is a gyrocopter. I'm going to get a Cavalon instead, but still put monstertruck wheels and suspension on it. Will I kill my top speed? Prolly. I'll change the rotor so the damage is made up in other areas.

It's a rod bearing and bolts if the pistons smash the spark plug. Needs full teardown.

“Partial Power Loss on Mountain Top Takeoff Surrounded by Lots of Cool Videos, Tight Editing and Engineered Drama: Sorry We Made You Watch This”

Trent Palmer, fair enough

Yeah, but that’s too long of a title to fit in YouTube’s recommends 🤣

Amazing video, I love it. What kind of drone did you fly to record the external panoramic views? .. quality is very good.

This sport looks like lots of fun! I wish I could join you guys. I was wondering if it would be better if you invest in turboprop engines.

Where is this? Its beautiful!

Was Reno/Stead at stop or are you based there?

Guys you are living the dream.

It's good that it happened when there was a group of you there.

“Cub wreck bar, but we won’t get into that.”

I bet that was the most nerve rattling flight home, after putting the new cylinder on.

Highlander looks best.

She’s motor boating. The bad kind

Really awesome footage!!! Great production!

Great team spirit :) Kudos, guys!

How the hell do you get into what looks to be the best hobby in earth?

Money, money and more money.

Wow this is really inspiring man

Nice flying!!! Also at the end what was that white plane next to yours?

Brilliant all round! Wish I still had my Renegade to come fly with you. Change nothing guys! CAVU skies.

Nice video. The engine troubleshooting and postscript were very interesting!

When your life depends on a two inch spark plug

I'm guessing rod bearing is bad allowing the piston to come up higher than normal and smash the plug. gonna need a complete overhaul

Irritating music doesn't enhance enjoyment.

These guys are having TOO much FUN!

30 seconds into the video and I think I found a new favorite channel

It would have been mine too if not for the shitty music.

Glad to see you out. Great video...again.

You're doing a Mike Patey fist pump thing now.

Pretty harrowing experience! Isn't there a rule that a qualified person has to be sitting at the controls while hand propping?? Maybe that doesn't apply in the mountains.

Glad to see it all worked out. My dad had similar on finals, dead stick in an Aeronca Chief....not fun, but a good landing and everyone was safe.

Trent: why are you cockpit vids quieter? Is upgrade to cameras or plane upgrades? Really is nice.

Thx. Your productions come across as first-rate. Can’t tell you how major the music adds to the experience. I live in Louisiana and could just as easily be watching video from another world. Never lived out west but it’s amazing these scenes. And, of course, your enthusiasm for flying really comes through. Runs in my family too; father, nephews, brother, me; have a nephew your age that flies corporate jets out of Dallas I think their Phenoms. Cheers.

The upgraded wiring and electronics in the plane, so much better than before!

G'day from West Papua, Indonesia. Great to see your vids. If you already haven't, perhaps you could do a vid on the tools and other safety/survival equipment you guys carry with you? From 33 years of flying, I've noticed that not many people carry the essentials, particularly with remote area/mountain ops. Cheers Fella's. (BTW: You chaps look well prepared...love your vids)

Those excited fist pumps kinda suggestive of friend of yours is a bit of an inspiration for you? ;) I don't blame you :)

I jus't discovered your videos and wow the camera quality is super.

looks dangerous AF starting it by hand

MWYANT19 there’s quite a few planes you need to do that with

that is realy something to have a motor repaired in the field like that

Engine failures at 4:20 and 6:30

This Guy is AWESOME flights for fun, and makes a living on Flying drones!!! Where do I sign?? I really like his videos, loved the Oshkosh adventure series!!

So...what was Jake's problem with the cylinder? Don't keep us hanging bro

BRASIL OK.

do any of these planes have emergency parachute ?

Dude you just hang out where I live damn that's dope maybe one day when I get myself a plan well meet

Man that looks like a total blast you are living life my friend enjoy...✌

What kind of aircraft model?

Did you say you fly drones for a living

Who is that dick head that shows up at 2:27? And how can I join your group so if he shows up again I can put his nose on the back of his head? For real Trent, I could see how you were just shining this guy on and thinking "You are the most ingenuine piece of crap, just get out of my face now."

what is max manifold pressure for this engine ??

just found your channel.. gotta HOLY CRAP you content is so fucking sick I LOVE IT

Nice video, and the cub at the end ✌🏼

So nice...

Amazing planes

what kind of planes are these.

Where is this at, it’s beautiful!

Can someone remind me these airplane models...I forgot half...

And Jake was never seen again, the cows presumably nibbled on him instead of the plane. Help never came.

vlog lacks notification

Why no woman there?

I try to drag my wife along from time to time but she gets tired of talking about airplanes while flying airplanes! Haha

Trent, thank you for putting out this video. If you are ever in the southern Ontario region, I owe you a beer. Because of this video, my student did not experience complete power loss while up in the air today. (TL;DR below) I received a call from a student of mine today who was flying on his personal C172. He was complaining of "severe" engine vibration in flight, but said that it went away after he applied carb heat. He decided to come around and land as soon as possible anyway to check it out. I told him about the effects of carb icing and how it can be a hazard to flying. He then told me that he had some engine roughness on the right mag when he did his runup. Fine, that's probably spark plug fowling. I told him to do a runup and try to clear the fowling with the procedure in the POH, but if it didn't work, it could be something as serious as a cracked cylinder head (this video was popping into my head). He calls me back an hour later to let me know that it didn't clear, so he grabbed an AME. During a boroscope of the cylinder, they found a crack. ----- tl;dr: This video put the idea and symptoms of a cracked cylinder in my head and when my student called with those symptoms, he got an AME instead of a takeoff clearance and lived to fly another day.

Youtube just recommended your channel to me, immediately subbed. Cool shit mang.

завидую я амриканцам. у нас в стране такие законы, что даже на мото дельтаплане невозможно летать. Даже зарегистрировать тяжело

this king of music dubstep for youtubers is out of dat....its just hoirrible

10:40 Thats funny, I did a lot of bush flying in Africa and had to put thorn bushes around the aircraft to stop the hyenas from chewing on the tires :-)

WOWWWWW fucking piece of shit clickbait.

Does everyone play with mixture control that much on T/O and Landing??

8:40 Have you ever seen final desination

Hey man! Very random question, what’s the diameter of your prop? :D

Trent Palmer Awesome! What will that look like?

79in! Although I’ll actually be going down in size to a 75in constant speed soon

Man, that looked like a safe way to hand start the engine.

Tell me, how excited are you really?

What do you use as a stabilization device in the cockpit?

A seat. HAA...

Oddball question, I know. But it is the Wild West. Anybody ever get shot at up in the air?

Stringman1950 lol no. If you receive gunfire or even lasers you can give your location to any number of agencies (FAA, namely) who are very aggressive in prosecuting such things. Anti-aircraft fire is extremely hard to coordinate. If you were being shot at, you probably wouldn't know it until the plane gets hit.

@6:20 to see the clickbait "engine failure"...not at takeoff.

Don’t miss this https://www.al-islam.org/fawaid-e-quran-sayyid-mustafa-musawi/benefits-recitation-chapters-holy-quran#verse-bismillahir-rahmanir-rahim Ignore the imam infos,read as the prophet said

4:22: The click bait moment is here, the rest is rubbish.

Red Bluff, California near Corning and Chico ?? Sacramento River ?

hi, how is the guy who crashed, and how is he. i did donate. would like an update.

Keep making them awesome videos. Make your adventures more exciting for both you and us viewers

So much "toxic masculinity" in one video!! I cannot believe it!!! (Can't you see the sarcasm?)

Hi Trent Nice videos! I wonder how do you like the osmo and its video quality? Could you share your experiences about the osmo with us? Stoked about your videos! See ya!

Alright, I can dig it.

what is the name of aircraft ?

Thanks for posting the follow up. It's good to know root cause of why his engine was giving him trouble!

Saw that you switched over to the Fuji X-T3 - how are you liking it so far vs the Canon?

Cool Flying. I've been flown a little, wing man for civil air patrol out of Eureka, Murray field. Crazy when the pilot says, as your flying over socked in area, "look for a hole" and when you find one for him he dives into it. They took me to Lake Pillsbury to fix an antenna, which I got going but told them they needed a new one. San Hedron Mountain. (spelling may be off) . Now I'm in Redding right near two airports, Redding and Benton. Planes over me all of the time. I like that. I'm a radio guy, of course. Mike (Ever been to the Flying Double A near Ruth California ? Big Parties there. Once the Flying Doctors met the Flying Nurses. True Story LOL

I want to have a plane like yours! I think there are many little places in "Siegen" where a bush plane can land... XD But first I'll make the Gliding training. Then maybe I'll be upgrading to motor flight training. (Love your videos! Love your content!)

Flix _fly und dann am wochenende mit dem flugzeug ins meyer 🌚

Lycoming o-320?

Somebody mentioned Volcano. There must be more than one in California. The Volcano I know, part of the Hwy 49 chain, wouldn't provide even helo landing space.

I tried emailing you this Trent :) But, I still haven't received an email back from you. What do you think? https://www.gofundme.com/airman-bell-meets-trent-palmer

Could I use a Cessna 172 and put a big modified tires on it in land where you guys do?

Can we get another update on nikk?

Hey Trent great videos, how is Nick doing and did you guys ever find out what may have caused the crash?

I"m in the same line of work Trent, been familiar with your videos since you were flying 7D's on T-Rex700's. Just subscribed and even my 2 year old son loves your "airplane videos". I'm not adverse to risk, I rode sportbikes for years and did some pretty stupid stuff in my 20's. Having said that, these planes (specifically the engines) seem to be highly unreliable? I get the passion for flying but man, is it worth the risk? I've watched a handful of videos and seen multiple exhaust issues, vapor lock, valve train issues, couple dead sticks and a near fatal crash. How does your wife deal with the stress? Anyways, be safe man, love the time and effort your put into your videos. (sorry for the long comment btw)

Awsome stuff! I fly fpv from a semi truck around the country but this is a whole different level of fun. It would be awesome to fly with you all someday.

Hi Trent, great vid! Do you mind my asking which river that was you guys landed by and do any of you guys fly fish? Id love to do this just to try cool spots on rivers like that. Thanks for a great job!

pretty incredible! You know those motors could really benefit from the usage of an ECU system like Megasquirt. So for example when he sputtered, all that would have been logged. hook up the laptop then go look at the log, then you could be like, oh hes running fat and it got to rich at heavy load... ect :D

oh wait, do I see a Megasquirt dash in your plane? :D

Great flying fun..great video

One day when I have some disposable income to wipe the dust off my ppl....

If understood what was said correctly, the plugs were bead blasted. I didn't know anyone still did this. I thought modern plugs are designed in such a way that blasting them damages the coating and causes more problems than it solves?

Man, I can definitely see how disappointing it must be to be excited to go and fly - only to find out that there is something wrong with the engine and it has to be repaired and non-flyable until 3 days later. He should feel lucky that nothing worse happened.

Trent Palmer I'm coming for ya..........Grandpa
