Today's episode is a fresh look at a bird I haven't flown for a looooong time, the Van's RV-14A from SimWorks Studios. It was recently updated, so I drag it out of the hangar for a Spanish jaunt. The Sphincter rating is quite high, with potential CFIT and fuel starvation on the menu.

    Sadly this is a true story :: My son and dubious heir recently told us that his car has a petrol warning light and a range display in kilometres of fuel remaining. He was on his way to our house to borrow our trailer (again) but seemed to take ages to get here. He eventually turned up and said he had run out of petrol. He said his petrol light had been on for about a week and his range display said "0" and then had the nerve to say "and then it just ran out without any warning".

    I have all of the SWS Vans and the 14 is absolutely my favorite, I'd call the other 2 hanger queens but the 14 gets regular airtime. When I'm feeling particularly adventurous even the taildragger gets an outing :) When I first got into FSE in MSFS my goto plane was the milviz pc-6 - it was about the only decent plane that had been released at that point - and I did an FSE run from the top of PNG down to Tassie, via Perth - took me about 2 hops to work out that FSE is fine with you stopping en-route to refuel, if you can find an airport in the middle of nowhere that FSE concedes exists AND has the fuel you need. Lifesaver, at least it would have been if FSE knew about more airports ...

      Mate, I like the idea of a sphincter rating - seems more appropriate to this channel than a 'like' :)

    As a meteorologist myself I enjoyed your weather segment. Shocked though at those temperatures for end of winter. Here in the Netherlands we had record amounts of rain since October.

      Wowsers, an actual meteorologist! It was worth making this video just to learn that. Sincerely, thanks mate.

    My wife and I visited your wonderful country back in 1986 and a couple of memories have stayed with me. At our hotel in Cairns, there was a chair on the verandah reserved for the cat. The cat's name was Bruce, reinforcing the Monty Python stereotype. In Sydney, we went to the Opera House for a performance of one of Mahler's symphonies. It was OK, but the real cultural highlight was a hotel that had a mechanical Ray Charles robot performing nightly in the lounge. Pretty heady stuff for a small town kid from Ohio.

      Ah mate, Australia was a very different place back in the 80s. Fantastic time to be a young (or younger...) person down under. I miss it greatly. Bruce's seat sounds very...Cairns :) One of my favourite life memories involves at night at the Opera House with the missus. I must have done the Opera House tour more than some tour guides! And nothing says 'Straya like sun, sand and a mechanical Ray Charles!

    Definitely some spicy winds. And that ground speed! Your shadow was getting close to breaking the sound barrier. Nice one.

    Modder's Monday on a Friday - that's really got me confused even more than usual. Interesting weather down under, must admit to a bit of jealousy though. Your winters are warmer than our summers!

      Yeah, I know. The guy operating this channel has truly lost the plot. He also has an annoying tendency to speak in the 3rd person...

    Hey Dad!!! Great video again and I really appreciate the content of the checklist addon. I'll download and incorporate into my airplanes. 🙂
