bnicolette Posted June 19, 2011 Report Posted June 19, 2011 Hi all, I was sitting here thinking, being a relatively new Mooney owner, that it would be great to have a series of "how to" videos for a lot of projects that we are all working on, almost constantly. I'm not sure the best way to do that, I guess possibly utilizing Youtube? Any idea's? I just thought since it is so easy now to do videos with our cell phones, it's almost a shame to not have some sort of "help line" for different projects. I am getting ready to undertake the redoing of my yokes and if there is a lot of interest in seeing different videos, I will make sure I get some of that on video.
201er Posted June 19, 2011 Report Posted June 19, 2011 For what it's worth, here's my "how to wax a Mooney video" on my pilot youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/SoarBird134 I don't have much I can offer otherwise but as I've done with planes I've flown in the past, I'll be posting lots of videos of my flying adventures. I had a great time flying my Mooney for the first time since the whole purchasing, inspection, and instruction gig this weekend so as soon as I get a chance to process the footage, it'll be up on my channel. But I would be absolutely thrilled to see some real how to's from people who know what they're doing.
bnicolette Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Posted June 20, 2011 Hey 201er, I came across one of your videos the other day and subscribed to your youtube channel. You did some pretty cool videos. I just thought it would be pretty great to see some videos of different maintenance items, trouble spots, upgrades, etc of things on our Mooneys. There is nothing like being able to actually watch how something is done as opposed to try and write a descriptive account as to how it was done. What really made me think about this was, I am about to try and remove my yokes to either have them powder coated and am a bit apprehensive about removing the switches located on the yokes. I have posted about this here before and some folks have responded and mentioned what a PITA it is, but very doable. So it would be nice to have a video of how it was done. I suppose we could start a thread titled videos to archive them in with links to youtube?
Bacachero Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 A picture is worth a thousand words......a video is worth a thousand pictures! Great idea on posting videos for different maintenance projects. A mooney channel for flight tecniques, destinations and other subjects would also be awesome.
