It makes me happy seeing people fulfill their goals in life. Best of luck to you!
Well, thank you very much.
Congratulations on your progress towards your certification, and thanks for taking us along.
Thank you!
Heck yea! Can't wait to see you spread your wings!
You and me both! The clock is ticking, and the countdown is active.
Good to hear from you Peter
Thanks.
Happy New Year 🎉... congrats on advancing towards your PPL, I too am following a identical path your on...just a few months behind you.
Once again your dropping great info, I am curious about getting my CH2 on floats and your info helped.
Excellent news you are getting your PPL! Glad I can be of some help with information.
How did i miss this video by 8 days? Great video and congrats on your progress. I've set a goal of 1 month to take my Sport Pilot exam. Then my checkride in the fall when the examiner is free. Will you ever take the floats off and fly with just landing gear to free up some weight? Any flying content videos would be awesome. let people see your progress. Youve seen mine being scared to death doing stalls lmao.
The floats on the Challenger 2 will stay on. I have an Excalibur as well, which was never built, and will be a wheels only airplane. I will edit and post what flying videos I have, probably narrate a lot of it for those who don't fly, so it all makes sense to them. Look for those in the next week. Cheers from Winnipeg.
@@challenger2ultralightadventure Ive been looking hard at the excalibur lately. Just none for sale. whats your timeframe to get that one up and runniing?
I won't be even looking at the Excalibur till the Challenger is in the air and finished. Maybe late fall of 2024.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks.
I’m also preparing for my PPL flight test, but at the school across the apron from you. I’m certain that you won’t have to recover from a spin on the private flight test - just an unusual attitude (stall or spiral dive) during the hood time of the flight test.
Do you have plans on getting your own airplane?
@@challenger2ultralightadventurelooking into it. It makes a lot of sense as I want to continue with my CPL and time building. Once I get my PPL, I’m likely going to look for a share-ownership situation.
On your 503 rebuild video series I saw you redid you oil injection, where did you source the large and small oil injection lines and with sizes/materials are they? I need to replace mine.
I purchased the oil injection lines and new banjo bolts from the Rotax dealer in BC. Canada. The Banjo bolts have a valve in them that can leak over time, and are not expensive at all.
