4xOverland is the world's first global 4WD adventure off-road motoring channel. Established in 1996, it is hosted by well-known 4x4 writer, explorer and filmmaker, Andrew St Pierre White. AKA: ASPW. - Zábava
On today's episode: An airplane wears a blind fold, a glider pees on a runway, and Andrew's plans for storage go sideways.
The amount of effort and dedication to all of your projects, over-landing,photography aircraft and the fine art of storytelling make all of your videos part of my “ must watch “ . Thank you !
Nice one.👍 Looking forward to this bird's maiden flight in Australia. All the best with it.
Good things are worth waiting for
Enjoyed this episode, I’m into 4wd and aviation combined specifically powered paragliding! I understand the feeling you have towards flight and everything aircraft… 😃👍🏽
Great news about the hanger. Your plane is a beauty. I am a fellow pilot, overlander and a big big fan of your content and your humble person. I heard that you are going to be at Overland Expo west this May so I purchased my ticket.
I'll be there. More announcements soon.
10:58 in the background , possibly the most appropriate registration for an aircraft ever.
Andrew I've been a loyal follower and Patreon for quite some time and I have to say no vehicle build of any kind anywhere makes me quite as giddy and excited as compared to aircraft. It a love that can't be explained. So glad to be on this journey with you. I can't wait for wheels up 👍
Thanks for the update.Hope to see it in the air soon.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
thank you for video
Thankyou for sharing your toys & love of them.look forward to more updates.
Thanks for the update. Been waiting for this
Great vid, keep 'em coming.
Lovely Ep, Hope you get up soon,
Good luck , enjoy Oman , i have not long left after 20 odd years :)
love it, looking forward for more flying videos
Andrew I learned a great deal from your videomaking courses when I started my aviation channel years ago. I didn't realize you were into aviation, so this was great to see! Hope you get to fly her soon.
Congrats on parking her inside, away from the elements is a must I would think.
I like this series, I learned how to fly a paramotor last year. All the best!
Not normally content I would watch but I am very glad I did thanks for the video Andrew
That is a great plane you have there Andrew! Hope the red tape is cleared soon!
So glad to see all your other interests Flying, Maritime, Etc.. are posted from time to time on your channel here. Absolutely love the content, advice and stories! Keep it up and cant wait to see the flight footage!!
Ha ha bureaucracy in Aussie, the joke going around is when packing to come to Oz, pack a high viz vest and hard hat :) , glad I found this channel to follow.
Absolutely wonderful! So true story! So real! My auntie Margaret lives in Australia, in Adelaide. I’d love to see her one day but she’s over 90 and I’m not sure if I manage. Why are you travelling to Emirates? I’m going there next week, to RAK, quite near Oman. Pipistrel is my dream since I first saw it 10 years ago…
She is a beauty! A view from the sky takes touring to a whole new level 😉
Up up and away 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Great stuff 👍👍👍👍👍
More of this!
I enjoy all of your videos Andrew, but for some reason this one in particular put a big smile on my dial…
keep the aeroplane flying video coming love it
Very nice machine
Great video, I’ve had the hanger problem for years, I fly a Skyfox and I have to fold the wings to get it in the hanger,. Looking forward to seeing your flying videos
Ha. I just took a look at your past videos. Lot of effort gone into it. Well done. You lost me when I saw those British 4X4's!! (-: (yes, I know, the early pure ones were reliable)
I totally forgot you had this aircraft. You are right. Government put in stupid rules just to prove someone did something.
Pls let me know when you are in Oman, would be Great to have meet you for a coffee or dinner. I believe we will have very long and interesting Aviation chat
Can I mention the Burketown morning glory for a once in a lifetime event and a great place for overlanding.
Please keep the aeroplane stuff coming!
will do.
I’ve always heard Australia was amazing, but the one thing that’s always stood out, that has tainted my image of it and kept me from ever wanting to invest there, is what you said-overbearing autocratic leadership. I’ve lived all over the world, China, Africa, Europe, and I keep coming back to America (despite its flaws) as the best country to live in. Freedom from an overbearing government is what sets America apart. Still would love to visit Australia for pleasure.
I was watching a few of your videos and I was wondering why I had not heard about your plane for a while!
Hi Andrew,
Great to see you making some progress on the Pipistrel. How is the CASA certification going? I had a thought. Why don't you do a collaboration with Scott Perdue? You could cover aircraft purchases, the dos and don'ts of purchasing, purchasing pitfalls, licensing, types of pilot licenses, certification of light planes and the process to achieve certification.
I am sure it would make a great series and generate a lot of views.
Good luck.
I’d second that. That would make a brilliant GA series. Scott would be a brilliant collaboration.
I'd be entirely the wrong person for that video. I'll just do some adventures and leave the paperwork behind.
I think you are way to humble Andrew. I see you and Scott as peers. You collaborating with Scott just seems like a perfect fit. 4 x 4 and general aviation enthusiastists would benefit enormously from both of you working together.
4x overTHEland
This is good. I haven't exercised the privileges of my licence for more than 25 years, and I haven't owned an aircraft for more than 30, but I know implicitly that I could just jump into an Aerobat or a Jodel or an old Cherokee and simply fly...
Make sure those nuts handling the wings actually did tighten the right nuts ! 😃
must be incredibly frustrating. I have had a Snus for 10 years now. After 45 years flying, I find the Sinus hard to beat for fun and versatility. when I first registered it I had a problem because I wanted to glide it and also have it night certified. I could have registered it 3 different ways to cover various aspects of flight. Still the same aircraft but because of bureaucracy, you can't cover everything under one registration. You are going to have great fun in it. Perhaps down the track you might want to look at Beringer brakes. The factory ones kept failing on me under certain conditions. All the best with it.
Making things difficult is the way our Corporate owned GOVTS work, that way they can say there is a back log, and we need to hire more staff. (Ring a bell?) Our Corporate owned GOVT Offices are run by idiots, who wouldn't know there ar... from their elbows.
Hope it all comes together for you in this lifetime Andrew.
That’s how they keep their jobs.
What is the airport identifier, would love to check it on my ForeFlight?
@4xoverland - is that your amarok in the beginning, glad to see you appreciate a well made machine, 😄, any change of an amarok review (not latest model, your and the 2015 model) or some work that can be done on it, would you use it for overlanding or not?Thanks from Centurion RSA
It is not my Amarok. I like going off-road. I do not consider the Amarok suitable for off-road use. Low range isn't an option.
The planning regulations regarding hangers you are talking about are local, not Australia Wide.
Ahhh, the Australian bureaucracy. It's sure is something else. Many makes a whole lot of sense (& even often glad they're in place) for a variety sorts of reasons (ie. health & safety, protection, environmental, higher standards etc). But others just leaves you scratching your head and think, WTF???!!! What where the bureaucrats smoking when they passed this law?
When did bureaucrats start passing laws in Australia?
@@rawnature8148 Since Australia became a nation. Politicians are also bureaucrats.
@@fatmanoverlanding that is inaccurate but ok.
I'd have found a different place to register it. It's not like these vehicles are expected to remain in one place
Lol hahaha Laundry in the Hanger?
I like aeroplanes
honestely...you are a cool men ! i allways dreamt about flying, now got pensionate and can effort it, they say i am to old to start flying......is age an issue for ppl flying law wise ?
Age is not an obstacle. But there are health standards, that they vary from country to country.
if you have one choice to die, what do you choice is sky or the brush.
I'd like to die by the brush. Sounds fun.
Very cool but how do have the confidence to fly this
Knowing the possible of fuel leak or cable ties breaking
Not like you can just pull over on side of the road
These are maintenance issues. Nothing more. Cable ties break. Replace them. Fuel leaks. Fix and check it before takeoff.
@@4xoverland too scary for me but id still love the idea of being able to fly a plane
Serpentine airfield
Yup...that was a bit tight wasn't it!
Maybe next time you buy another house, you buy a bit of land with it fir your own private runway and storage facilities.
That what one of the folks in my village has done and he's no Millionaire by far!
Find out who was in charge when the "laundry" rule was established - I got $5 that says he's related to someone in the home appliance business or heavily invested in it.
Nah, just put a double sink in the corner and tell them it's a hand laundry, then drape a curtain around it all and claim that it identifies as a laundry.
It'll be a way of making sure that it doesn't get viewed by council as a way of it being de facto accommodation. In reality, it's a lot less onerous than the requirement for a loo
Why don’t you get into bush flying and make aviation camping videos to accompany your wheeled adventures?
A private light aircraft hanger needs a disabled friendly toilet and a laundry? yes sure why not.
One thing I hate about my country is it's a damn nanny state. WA anyway. And expensve
strangled with bureaucracy !!, welcome to the Nanny State Federation, just another way of raising revenue for the State & employing idiots at obscene salaries.
Have a good time in the UAE , just returned from there after a 15 year absence, & especially enjoy Oman which was our favourite location for "wadi bashing"
🤣 like germany
I stopped flying RAA because it became over regulated.
Everything in Aus is over regulated because someone found out that you can make money out of it.
This stifling bureaucracy trend is something prevalent in all so-called developed countries. Take Japan, my country of residence, and towing laws. Despite driving a Land Rover Discovery 5 3 litre diesel that has a towing capability of 3.5 tonnes, Japan's strict rules means that I am only allowed to tow just under 2 tonnes. The maximum allowed is 2 tonnes, regardless of whether it be a Jeep Wrangler, the new Defender or even the new Ineos Grenadier if it ever makes it to the Japanese market. I am no fan whatsoever of Donald Trump, but there is one thing that he said that I actually agreed with. That was when a new rule is made, 5(?) others should be deleted. Making new laws and regulations isn't necessarily a bad thing, but nobody bothers to ensure that previous regulations don't bog down the updated ones and just complicate things.
Ahh, Australia the place where the wildlife will kill you or the nanny state bureaucracy makes you wish it had!
Australians love their government jobs so they all want more government.
