Kefferch Posted November 20, 2016 Report Posted November 20, 2016 This was my first video attempt using a couple GoPro's in my Mooney M20J. I'm a new member to this form and also to Aviation I started flying last December completed my license July 30th, 2016 and bought this Mooney September 1st. I'm already working towards my IFR and have built up over 110 hours so far this year! Would love to meet some of you great people and learn from you all. Enjoy! 3
NotarPilot Posted November 20, 2016 Report Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) Great video but I think you should lay off the coffee before you fly. Seems you're a little jumpy and taxiing a bit fast. Other than that, welcome to the club. Edited November 20, 2016 by NotarPilot 1

carusoam Posted November 20, 2016 Report Posted November 20, 2016 Nice video. The selection of camera position really shows how much flex and twist the wing endures during taxi... I get the feeling a rough field would really show why the old type of sealant fails. Best regards, -a- 1
Flymac Posted November 20, 2016 Report Posted November 20, 2016 Cool video, how did you choose to mount the gopro

XXX Posted November 21, 2016 Report Posted November 21, 2016 Nice job Kefferch! great music choice as well. I got more pleasure out of watching that video than some of the Hollywood crap I've paid to see. Welcome to the group. 1

Oscar Avalle Posted November 21, 2016 Report Posted November 21, 2016 Nice video! And plane. It also seems that your copilot enjoys flying with you! Congratulations and welcome on board. Looking forward to your next videos.As others mentioned be careful with taxing fast, the prop does not have a lot of clearance and you may pick up a stone or two and your prop may then need a nice overhaul...about 3 AMU...

Oscar Avalle Posted November 21, 2016 Report Posted November 21, 2016 I thought your video was sped up, but it happened to me and I was not taxing too fast... bad luck, could it have been prevented by taxing slower, may be, may be not, but the clearance is low and on a rough surface the nose goes down...Also where are you located?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

bradp Posted November 21, 2016 Report Posted November 21, 2016 One comment. The landing. Your co-pilot has the appropriate lip pursing that should be done by the Pilot Flying during the landing. You need to work on your lip pursing. Welcome to the forum. Great video. 1
