    Ya know, you just can’t make this stuff up, unless you have nothing else to do in your life but make people laugh so hard that they crack their ribs!!!! When I grow up, I think I want to be just like you!!!!! Oh, wait!!! I think I’m older than you are.. Dangit, I guess I missed that opportunity.. Oh well, I guess I will just keep laughing at you Bryan!!! Thanks a million for another broken rib!! Love what you do!! Keep up the great work!!!

    Bryan, does the Piper come with a remote start option? You know, for cold days?
    Start it while you're at home, and by the time you get to the airport, the cabin's nice and comfortable, right? You can have the plane de-frosted in the meantime as well.
    I hope they have an app for remote start too.
    Thank you for demystifying aviation concepts for mere-mortal, landlubbers like me. I'm so grateful for your videos.

    • @ulbuilder
      @ulbuilder Před rokem +12

      They have those but the FAA issued an AD that requires a Ring video camera be mounted so you can yell "Clear Prop" and visually check that the prop is clear before remote starting.

    • @Rodhern
      @Rodhern Před rokem +1

      Remote aircraft operations are colloquially known as drone operations. Probably explains why drone operations have become so popular; no-one enjoys sitting there waiting for the lawn mower engine to heat the cabin.

    I'm surprised you didn't add the one Alexa suggested. Rolling it down a steep hill and popping the clutch sounds like a great option when you can't get to one of your pull starters and your battery is dead.

      Back when I was young and stupid....um, I mean, in better shape, err...
      You know what, let's just stick with stupid. Anyway, I used to push it out to the runway and then push it until it was going a little bit fast, then I would quickly jump in, put the prop in gear and pop the clutch.

    @KevinSmithAviation Před rokem +3

    Great stuff Brian. One thing you have to watch out for on the clapper version is if you have a excited passenger that claps with excitement. This could cause a loss of power in flight. This typically occurs during takeoff and climb out, or while racing your local warrior. I will typically unhook mine during my run up so this does not happen. Keep up the excellent work Brian. Safe skies 🇺🇸🛩️

      That takes two or three people most of the time. Gliders seem to be exclusively push-start, although most of the time I see them using a tow strap instead of having people push it along.
