- Join Cory at Governors Harbor then an engine failure above Plant City, Florida. I ended up leaving the airplane in Florida and returning home to Salt Lake City for a few days.
Cory Robin always finds a way to make any trip into a backcountry flying trip!
The travel vlog trip across the good 'ole US of A in my aircraft! Going from Utah to Florida and then into the Bahamas.

Completely sympathize and agree with you Cory about the Garmin. I’m both a pilot and a software developer. This would take Garmin ONE line of code to fix: “if (indicated air speed > 20mph ) then skip the update.”
The Garmin rant had me laughing so hard! I’m sure it was a little scary and very frustrating but I haven’t heard you swear before so I thought it was great
Language! Be careful throwing around the H word and the C word like that! :-p
Cory, enjoyed, very much, your Bahamian excursion and Garmin Problem. Haven’t heard an update so I have to assume your plane is still in Fl. That is so awful but thankful you were over land the whole time just in case of the worst case scenario. Look forward to your update and meeting up sometime this summer. As I mentioned, I live here in Layton and hangar in Brigham.
I certainly hope that he got in touch with Garmin, because that IS a safety-of-flight issue.
took at 23ft lake boat from ft lauderdale to bimini. capt got sea sick. horizon went out of view in the wave troughs in the gulf stream. channel markers were wiped out from a storm. waited off shore a little bit till i seen someone coming out the channel. its beautiful there.
Wow, talk about a nail-biter! Glad you made it back to US soil safely, hopefully your engine doesn't need too much money to get it running properly again.
Glad you are safe!
Looking forward to the flight home video with your life co-pilot
Rough running engines are no bueno. I had that happen to me just after taking off from Porterville, CA in a Citabria. Immediately said “nope!” Then turned around and landed back at PTV.
Stunning video, especially flying home thru the Wasatch. Nice work Cory.
Don
The Flying Pirates!!!!!! Nassau was known has the Pirate Republic from 1706 to 1718. Great video!!!!!
I was awaiting your next segment. Wow, not the outcome I expected. Can’t wait to find out what caused the issue. Glad you’re alright. Maybe it was a good thing Trent didn’t go along with you this trip, with his engine issues, too. 😩
Doing a great job with your videos. Thx.
Bro!! That’s heavy. I’m guessing you left her in Plant City? I stopped there for fuel 3 weeks ago making a ferry flight in a 150.
Cory, Like the knocked knee auto-pilot!! Tks for sharing your trip. Beer 30 here in Melbourne Fl.
Wow, glad everything worked for you.
that yellow cub looked like a baby without the big wheels on it
Damn, that sucks! But the Garmin bit was hilarious.
Plant City..... you had been a spit distance from my place.
that yellow 152 at 1814 is mine bought her a yr ago great little aircraft plus plant city is cheap to tie down
Awesomeness
Hey Cory, I'm glad the ghosts engine kept it together long enough to get you on the ground. I hope its just the stuck valve and nothing more expensive. What is your current TSMOH?
Just finished your vedio, wishing you well with the engine.
Hey man, this was GREAT! Seriously want to do some collabs on survival videos! Looking forward to it.
I love the music...
have you reached out to Garmin? Curious to know if there is a fix.
interesting that the "dense" air in the sandwich bag expanded in the less dense air. I'm guessing that there's less forces (since at a high altitude) surrounding the bag causing the bag to expand out like that.
Thank You for the Garmin info! Maybe it is the satellite signal transfer Between international Bahamas and Domestic Florida that caused an update!
Done that route a bunch, usually much slower, by boat.. always paper & compass! Peace of mind, i can't trust electronics !.. Coked valve sounds like south Fla unfortunately!
Cory, go to Ybor City and get a Cubano sandwich. Pan Cubano bread, sliced ham, Mojo marinated pork, salami, swiss cheese, dill pickle and a layer of yellow mustard under the top bun. None better!
Watching you tell the story about your engine running rough I could see the troubling look on your face and it reminded me of a recent episode in my 182. Turned out it was my own fault, overleaning on a climb. Got right back to the airport, pulled the cowling, checked compressions, etc. Then realized what I had done. Still I was very nervous for weeks afterward thinking about it. Especially over Lake Tahoe and the SF Bay lol. Time for some life vests.
Cory Robin better to not be complacent 😉
i was kpcm checking out your plan its cool for sure
Thanks for visiting my cuntry
Was that "The Laughing Bird" sitting in your apartment?
Did you leave Dooley behind in the islands?
Your rant was much more "PG" than I had expected.. hehe. Love your videos, thanks for sharing.
the unbleeped version is even more funny. It's sort of funny hearing me say 'crap' and 'heck' under the bleeps.
Cory Robin Heheheeee
They stand by on channel 16 on open ocean 156.8 mhz. I don't know if your radios will do that frequency. Might also be smart to have a handheld marine vhf if you are worried about contact after downing
Great tip!
Thanks for watching! 🤙💥🤠
Thankfully your engine problems happened after the crossing. Scary. At least you got to see your brother.
That vending machine Chicken Salad Sandwich gave your Cub salmonella... I'm guessing not enough Fritos to counteract the infection.. ;p
G'day Cory ! Glad to see you made land and the ground safely be careful though they say trouble comes in 3s. Technology is a wonderful thing until the dam things start playing up, just as well you had a backup the Mk1 eyeball. Great video as always take care. Could you possibly give me the info or link to the background music track used at the start I like that music choice. Cheers mate.
G'day Cory thanks for getting back to me. Yeah I should have been more specific. I think It is the track after the laughing bird hotel just as you start the flying footage , the combination guitar work is just great and a great choice of music too, also the track after that is great as well. I'm interested in both. Oh ! and was that a humming bird I saw in the hotel? May be they should call it the Humming bird hotel ! You and Flying Cowboys should try one day to fly here down under! it's a spectacular place to fly also once you get away from most of the cities. Well thanks again for getting back to me. I enjoy your vlogs. cheers mate!
Your wheels are almost bigger than the other Cub.
Cory that's actually not a lighthouse but an old tourist attraction called coral island that had an underwater observation room. unfortunately its been shut down a long time now
Wow cool! Thanks!
Love the Garmin rant! But, it looked like your wearing a sailing pfd? With a personal epirb? That being said, a plan and a compass. Always a backup. Also in the "triangle" compass gets squirrelly, stay on heading. Do NOT circle for a signal, that may never come. Also , as you now know, cloud shadows on that water, a whole different ballgame with no visible landmarks. If your flying straight, and that compass spins, STAY FLYING STRAIGHT! Or at least say "Hi"to flight 19 when you see them in the vortex.
haha Eric, love your humor! had me laughing with that vortex comment! Thank you for the tips.. I tried to make the video dramatic, but I did have two backup GPS navigators, as well as the plbs, and talking to ATC... I guess I had three backups if you count my compass and solar navigation skills! hahaha safety third, I learned from Mike Rowe
Cory maybe it wasn’t Garmin maybe it was .. the Bermuda Triangle?
That's why Garmin will have all that legal bullsh*t about, this is only an aid to navigation not a primary nav instrument
If your valves are burning up it means you are pushing your engine too hard. I'm a new follower and i like your material. Be safe over long distance water in a piston plane. Keep up the good vlogs!!!
Not necessarily, theres any number of running issues that could lead to a burnt valve.
Wrong! The legacy engines have a bad quality! Had a valve issue on a brand new Continental…
eat with the old song cruising in the back ground
What id did Garmin say about this? Also, did that sandwich inflate like that due to altitude? Normally an inflated sandwich like that would indicate a potential food poison incident as inflation is caused by bacteria contamination releasing gas. Seems you did not get sick so I was curious about the possibility that that happened due to altitude air pressure as you cockpit is not pressurized as they are in commercial aircraft.
Jeff Gillis I bought the sandwich at sea level and opened it at about 6000. So it was just the altitude.
Garmin unfortunately was no help. They don’t recommend use of mobile devices as navigational instruments. That’s the word, good or bad...
Umm, fly west and you hit fl. A 270 heading on the compass works fine to get you to Fl
Ah, knowledge
Guess it helps to live in S Fl and fly to the Bahamas a lot. Of course you do know you were flying in the Bermuda Triangle I hope. (cue scary music).
Ah yes, knowledge plus experience! A handy combo.
am actually curious what Garmin had to say???? update?
Garmin had a level 1 tech reach out... Honestly they didn't really impress me with their support. I left the last message unreplied. So I'll get on that and see if they can get me a better answer.
How much the landing fee over there?
Which spot? I landed everywhere!!! ;)
Usually there’s no fee. Gas ⛽️ is not cheap.
thanks ☺ looks like I need to invest in some filtering equipment .. so good you missed the bullet over the water ☺☺
So, what was wrong with the engine?
It was a clogged crank case vent that is routed into the exhaust pipe. He cleaned it with a gun barrel brush from Walmart. Saw this in a later vid.
What did you hit your thumb with? :D
Man oh man! I ended up losing the nail completely. Smashed it working on something.
@@flycory I only noticed it because I have a toe that looks just the same at the moment! Dropped a bin on it..! Awesome video of a beautiful flight buddy, nice one :)
flying hundred miles over the ocean in a single engine ligthweight airplane is not for the faint of heart
That was Not funny, but super funny!
The #Garmin thing? Yeah.. It's certainly a software flaw that they will update the firmware without allowing you to choose to do it later. They have been less than helpful in my support queries. Note: I didn't swear at all, but the bleeps just made it funny. hahaha
i got ur attention
Why no video of the whole engine ordeal..?
motokid032 sorry, I was a little busy at the time and didn’t think to roll the cameras.
Safety Tip: Whatever you do, do not attempt to eat crackers and cheese from a pressurized can while flying at altitude. Just don't.
You do know that I have to try now right?
Good video but it's a little disappointing without the most interesting parts of a flight, take offs, approaches and landings.
Man all that “I never had a problem” and the “plane doesn’t know it’s over water” was the downfall of your motor. I’m not superstitious but I’ve seen bragging something how cause failure too many time times to be fluke.
