Negative 10 G’s just sounds insane!!! Just 4 felt crazy already 😂😂
Much love for everything you do.❤
10G gonna shrink you from giraffe to llama
Cletus i want mullet😮

“Let’s go check out the wings!”
George: “yeah you’re goin to need those”
Lmao the dad humor gets me every time
Lol I was reading your comment right as he said that.
George...."did you throw up too?" 😂😂. As soon as I saw him in the plane, I knew it was coming.
Petition to release the footage 📝
They did not give an after shot of the canopy. I guess it was not good, lol.
@@Grey86petition to change his aviation name to LS Ralph lol
pretty sure he was just joking i doubt he would be that casual about the inside of a +$600k plane lol
@@bowtieenthusiast6672 Sounds like you know as much about flying as I do. I expect stunt planes may have lots of passengers named Ralph.
Phillip is exactly who you want building a plane like that. German efficiency and complete focus. No room for error. You can see why it’s the only FAA certified plane like that.
I think extra aircraft is too… although it’s German too
What amazing performance. Everything looks effortless and so smooth. I expect that kind of flying from PIC, but Cleatus looked like a pro.
The Germans have always been masters at building smooth and precision machines. They don't skimp on aircraft either. German design philosophy emphasizes on putting less workload on the pilot, more on the plane.
This aircraft is designed so that every single piece acts as a gigantic whole to balance airframe stress throughout the airplane. So no one part take more stress than an another part. This is a critical design philosophy when using carbon fiber for the structure. The only downside? The sheer expense as this airplane costs considerably more than a competing aluminum or fiberglass frame. But you are paying for the best. And this bird delivers in every aspect!!
Yes, if you are making something that could kill you if you are unorganised, let a German do it. Most people are too lazy. You should see the laboratory I work at. Super messy and not organised. Americans. Lol.
the instructer in cleetus's plane is one of the most skilled and layed back and respectful pilots i have ever seen in a video like this.
Reminds me of Paul Barth from the MD helicopter training videos!
I think the instructor is Philipp Steinbach himself.
@@franzschober7572 he is German i guess. Kein wunder das der so gut fliegt haha
I just noticed how good George's camera work is. He's on the speaker, then will pan to the subject matter if there is one, then back to the speaker, then move seamlessly between the people having the conversation. He knows when to pan in and pan out and I think he's just filming on a phone and that's it.
Yeah, you can tell he's putting in a lot of effort to improve his craft. It's so cool to see.
I don't usually notice good camera work but definitely did when he got that PERFECT shot of Cleet going up and around him in the plane. We even get a lot of his commentary making into these videos. Well done George.
I think when Cleets having a conversation i think IMO he should back up and get them both on screen instead of panning so fast
@@codieoberg9441 I agree. I was just thinking about that reading the conversations here, but they would probably have to get wireless mics if he stood that far back. Probably why they haven't done it because of them usually getting into or out of a vehicle. Watching them tour the factory where they are building Leroys new body it was hard to hear at times.
That man has a family and is earning his keep. George is cooler than the fan frfr
One day Cleet will race Top Fuel Dragsters and fly Fighter Jets - i see it coming.
You said it first. I'm here as 1st witness. 😂
He'll probably do it all on the same day
im second witness
Cleetus needs a ride with the Blue Angels. They would love it, he would love it…and we’d love seeing that 9g sleeping pill.
Add a jet powered dragster for fun
Yesss we love the aviation content
Ol’ Cleet’s most underrated talent is his incredible networking. Man is just building an ELITE Rolodex of talented and successful people, and soaking up every bit of information that they share, while also being equally as valuable and generous to those who seek to follow his path. Kudos.
"omg it's a ratchet strap."
"yeah, because you don't want to fall out"
Had me dying 😂
That would be embarrassing😂😂😂
Him saying "that would be embarrassing" means he thinks that the shame of trashing a $600,000 aircraft is worse than the threat of death and I find that hilarious.
He was so natural about it. Even George chuckled.
That huge machine at 31:39 is a Thermwood router. My dad is the Vice President of Manufacturing at Thermwood! He almost certainly built the electronics on that machine!! 🤯 They can build routers even bigger than that! They also make machines with dual gantries that can both 3D print and cut on the same part at the same time. Their biggest build table to date is 20ft by 100ft!
Ok that is legit cool as frig
holy shit that is incredible. Sounds like it's perfect for making stuff for composite forms like this. Does it CNC metal or is it just for wood/foam?
@@Hyperious_in_the_air Their machines can cut non-ferrous metals like aluminum, but they're primarily focused on wood and composites. They don't build metal CNCs like Haas.
I sent my dad screenshots from this video and he said he remembers that machine. He did in fact wire it and do the electronics! 🤣 He was the Electrical Supervisor for 20+ years before he was promoted to VP of Manufacturing about 6 months ago! I watch a surprising amount of factory tours and am always watching for Thermwood machines. Never expected I'd spot one in a Cleetus video! 🤣🤣
@@Studio23Media please get Cleetus a Tour of Thermwood. You just need to explain the extra marketing of the Brand the Videos could do to spread their work even further.
@@reanukeevesau I don't think there's much incentive for Cleetus to do a video there honestly. They sell machines to manufacturers. They don't really build anything themselves other than the machines, and they don't have any involvement in motorsports or aerospace other than selling machines to a few companies involved. If I thought he'd be up for it, I would, but it doesn't really fit the channel.
37:36 You know Cleet can fly when he sticks that landing and his buddy immediately knows "Yeah this guy's got it" and offers to let him solo before even coming to a stop.
Garrett is an incredible man with born talent for operating vehicles indeed, it's amazing to watch him learn, adapt and master.
Shout out to the deburr guy.
We see you brother!
If it wasn’t for him we would have burred up parts
Of all the cool things I do in that shop, of course I’m deburring parts when they stick a camera on me😂
@@beerded_brewer4451 Every single operation is of equal importance on an aircraft....good to see you being diligent and doing good work!
@@beerded_brewer4451 does Phillipp know you spent 10+ years focusing on German quality at the process
I assumed he was probably the guy running the 9 axis machine and just filling in time
Shoutout to the guy sitting there deburring parts all day with a pneumatic belt sander!!
He's up the thread, it's not his only job.
@marvindebot3264 I didn't assume it was his only job, still a tedious task at hand to complete regardless. And the little guy on the toldum poles typically doesn't get recognition they deserve (I've been in them shoes) so I shouted him out is all.
@@BleedingWhiteKnuckles agreed
@@BleedingWhiteKnuckles totem poles?
I thought the same...
He was so ignored in a way.
This company has a bad ass come up story. started in a shipping container in the UK 10 years ago now in the U.S. with a full blown manufacturing facility.
Some amazing things come out of our tiny lil island haha 😆
@@AndrewR2130that's because they were very intelligent people not all of us have intelligence and it really comes from your parents making sure that you go to school I sure missed out but that's another story
I stopped the video to make a comment. I am no scientist, but I am very mechanically inclined. My parents said that if I keep taking my Christmas toys apart to see what makes them run, they will stop getting me presents.
When Lee explained the performance parameters were unlimited, then said 450 degree. . . I wasn't sure what that meant but Cleetus, even though I KNOW he already knew, made it sound as if he didn't so that people like ME, that watch his video would be educated without making us feel dumb...and Cleetus, that works brother, that really works, you did it with the suspension upgrade on your plane.
I work with degrees as a pipe welder, but nothing goes over 360, so 450 made me think, and then I figured it at 1.25 per second ...at 234 KNOTS. ( That equates to 394.948 FEET per second ! )
The level of strength, rigidity built into that plane is almost beyond comprehension, I’m going to stop typing because I can't wait to watch the rest of this video. (GB1 Game Bird, what an easy name to remember).
I think you are referring to the roll rate of the aircraft, 450 degrees a second. Roll rate can be over 360, it's how many degrees an aircraft can roll per second. An A4 for example had a roll rate of 720 degrees a second.
I truly like how the Pilot explained some of the technical parts of it and tricks. He seemed very genuine about the information.
The pilot is the owner and the mind behind the design of the aircraft.
He's the owner of the company.
Germans
Cleetus is a modern day motorsports legend, dude can operate ANYTHING rather its air, land, sea, snow, ect. Bro has a natural ability to just tear it up in ANYTHING with an engine
The founder or owner of that company is a rad dude. What a level headed guy who was also plain nice.
Both amazing aircraft. "Unless I hit the ground, I can't break...." what else can be said. Love the wing over, so smooth & right to position in the GB1 and the benign stall characteristics of the Patriot.
I'm from Bentonville Arkansas!! 🤯 I see these guys flying and doing stunts all the time over our property. They have become a normal free show for me over the years! So cool to see Cleet and George in my neck of the woods. This part of the country is awesome! Sure wish I could've met them!
Heck yea buddy!
I visit Eureka Springs a lot. They were flying over Beaver Lake. It’s such a great recreation lake in the summer.
I'm just glad Arkansas is getting some love. Good looking drives through here. I drive trucks down these highways and it's therapeutic
I live in centerton i wish he would have done a meet and greet
That would be awesome to see those planes just doing stunts all day everyday. All you would have to do is go outside and look up and their would be a great plane show in the sky above you. Lol 😊👍🇺🇸 keep up the great work and God Bless you guys and your families, stay safe out there in the wild blue yonder. ✌️😊👍🇺🇸💯🙏🏼🙏🏼
man those stunt planes are something else!! Mark Jeffries took me to 5g in an extra, dread to think what double that would feel like!! Soon as we landed I went to book my lessons. Man these things are addictive!!
I could not remember who had the video. So glad you commented, your video was Awesome! I want to ride in one for sure.
Man man man. Cleet dosent like you brother give it up
Crazy seeing RC daddy here on a Cleetus video 😂
I saw the flight, Kev. It was gnarly. You're crazy, so it makes sense you would want one. No bashing in the Airplane. We like having you around. lol
Hey Kevin! These planes would definitely make the trip to the Isle of Man one heck of a commute lol
Cleetus definitely has one of the most unique channels, from flying planes, helicopters, top dragsters, jet boats.. etc. keep it up.
Freakin' awesome man! Whenever I hit the lotto or my music career takes off, I'm gonna get one of the camper cubs. Have it wrapped to look like an old Winnebago camper! Call it the "Trailer park cub"! that would rule!
Glad this owner realizes the marketing potential to get Cleetus up in the air in his planes. Not only is he probably going to sell Cleeter one, but I'm sure there are many people who might watch this or who he talks to that would love this high performance plane. Great deal man. Good people all around
Even still, seeing something like this might strike that life long fire and drive in some younger viewer to go after something like this.
I didn't even know this company existed but a Game Bird just moved straight to position #1 on my mental list of "cool shit I am buying if I ever win the lottery". I was thinking of a Cirrus SR22T AND an Extra 330LT but in one of these I could do comfortable interstate hops and fuck about in the clouds.
Poor guy will never fill the orders
I want one 🤣
I feel like cleet becoming a pilot and his youtube following is a considerable factor for the local aviation industry.
Yeah, I mean any industry Cleet decides to enter is good for said industry. Guy is a class act with a dedicated following of millions of people.
Yes. Not to mention he's been a pilot for quite a while just never showed on youtube. That 'Dozen' guy is legit though. Flew Thunderbirds and actual war birds. Always good to have a guy like that in your circle if you're into aviation. Doors open.
I was thinking the same thing. A lot of good exposure will come from these kinds of videos especially with the connections and opportunities that he can showcase.
Something about the guy walking backwards while Cleetus walks cracks me up.😂
As a pilot I think I enjoy the aviation videos more than the automotive stuff. I’ll watch every video but never stop these!!!
41 minutes of cleetus? God bless America my lazy Saturday just got better
Love how Cleeter has gone from apprehensive to fully off the deep end into aviation content.
Its insane. And I want one of these planes. After seeing this guy demo one, it seems so safe..
You know your states good when the cleet just keeps comin back
Seriously the best video. The man on man trust and being impressed by eachother skill in having fun and trusting by both guys without showing off. Idk. Pure joy
As a painter speaking, there's nothing worse than someone opening a paintboot door while spraying.
I hear ya, did you see how quick that guy's head snapped up?, at least Garrett felt the vibe and backed out immediately.
Absolutely, you don't want to be around there when he comes out. Someone is going to catch hell for that. Lol
@@charleshenshaw9099 for sure, two things people that aren't in the body shop world don't realize is one...not only is whatever you are painting gets prepped but the paint booth also gets prepped, and two..painters are usually "Diva's" and are high strung.
@@charleshenshaw9099 not likely since cleet had the owner of the company with him when he did it.
Why is that a problem? Just curious. My painting experience stops at rattle-cans.
I love these "inside a business" videos... That plane company is next level. So cool. Posted two days ago was the SSR Porsche dudes in an absolutely insane Nitrogen encapsulated storage facility with the most dynamic dyno ever.
Next week on the Cleetus McFarland CZcams Channel:
*We Win Redbull Air Race*
Love the shop tours. Definitely need more in my life from y'all
As somebody who has just invested in making CF parts for the 1st time, this factory tour was not only seriously impressive, but inspiring. The factory and end products are AMAZING, even the staff were cool. Thanks for this guys. If i'm ever in that part of the world, I'm booking a tour and a passenger ride in a GameBird for sure.
That setup is CLEAN! 🤌
It's so cool that Cleet started out as a B list actor in Napoleon Dynamite and then progressed to a popular CZcamsr and then a Giraffe in a stunt plane. What an entertaining world.
He was in napoleon dynamite?
@@leviwulffit's a joke lol
Vote for Pedro.
"Do the chickens have large talons..?"
@@leviwulff He looks somewhat similar to Jon Heder who starred in it.
You’re telling me you were 25 mins away from my house?????
What an episode brother, man I love planes,what an operation that this guy Philip has absolutely flawless. Thank you.
25:20
The control stick unbuckling Cleeter's harness.... Yikes... Imagine if the stick had gotten hung up on the harness. 😮😮
Good catch. Never even saw that but yea I'd say thats something that should be looked into for sure
It's probably why the levers go opposite ways; so one swipe with the stick won't undo both at once.
Still would rather have the ability to quickly unbuckle considering you wear a parachute if things get ugly...
@@flathead8534 yes it should be easy to remove. Possibly making the two horizontal levers vertical would fix the problem but would have to reconfigure the latch setup. Id be more worried about it hanging on the stick than myself coming out of the seat. If I was front pilot and it got caught on someone in the rear, I'd have no way of knowing how to fix it.
I knew I wasn't the only one that saw it. And Cleet was so in the moment he didn't notice it.
Damn good eye
That place has never lost or misplaced a 10mm socket
Now that's funny right there, I don't care who you are....Larry the Cable Guy
Harbor Freight sells a set of nothing but 10mm wrenches and sockets. I should have bought it.
@@mrwilson7617 brilliant idea, sounds like a good merch idea for a u-tuber to offer, step right up and get ya some Cleetus 10mm or VGG 10mm's....
De-burr guy keeps a spare one in his pocket just in case
As somebody that has worked in aviation...We didn't have metric tools because none of our aircraft had metric fasteners. Which means no worries about losing the 10mm. Even Airbus uses SAE fasteners in their planes. You might find some metric on some interior fittings but nothing major.
That power-on turning stall shows incredible controllability. From what I recall, doing a 60 degree banked, power-on, accelerated stall in a Cessna is a spicy recipe for a spin. This plane looks dreamy.
I grew up around two airfields most of my life. One "Ultralite", one model airplane airfield within walking distance of my parents' house. Our summer jobs usually were patching the asphalt shingle runways and killing weeds. My best friend's stepfather used to do airshows and had an experimental biplane. He would fly out of that tiny airport in that biplane and do barrel rolls and Cuban 8s etc. I remember one time him showing the backup manual fuel pump that had to be pumped by hand in case of a fuel pump failure. That pretty much solidified me never wanting to fly with him lol. He was also the first person I knew that had a train horn in his El Camino circa 1990s . Mike was a special guy RIP.
We need a top gun “because I was inverted” cleeter T-shirt now!!!
😂😂
Fred and Whitty starting to become regulars by now
Really enjoy these walk through of other companies. I enjoy learning how other things are built and seems like Cleetus truly enjoys learning also.
So cool seeing Lycoming valve covers knowing we make them where I work. Good stuff 😊
A buddy of mine used to have an Extra 300L I took him up on an offer for a rip in it one time and let me tell you, no amount of preparation and training can prepare you for experiencing those kinds of forces for the first time. Having to tighten up your legs, butt and core to push blood to your head so you don't pass out, your vision narrowing, having to cough to maintain breathing, it's an experience that I really can't put into words. A half hour of hard aerobatics and I was completely physically exhausted and I'm in pretty decent shape. What surprised me the most was just how well it handled. I expected it to be extremely touchy and twitchy and while it was extremely sensitive, the best way I can describe it was incredibly precise. You just think about what you wanted the aircraft to do and it seemed to do it.
Excellent description bud 👍
I’ve never seen anyone be so calm as a passenger during a fully developed flat spin. Cleeter is made for this stuff
So cool to have an owner with so much knowledge and history of his car but also knowledge of other manufacturers of the period. With Jay's knowledge I could listen to them share stories all day. Great episode Jay.
I love the engine on that Patriot. It just sounds so clean and “relaxed” on takeoff.
I love how Cleetus is doing everything down to circle racing drag racing and aviation stuns/races it’s always a blast watching cleet

It's so cool that I landed on this channel for carrelated content and now enjoy RC stuff, boats and aviationstuff on the same channel. Thanks brother for all this awesome content and sharing your passions with us. I realy dig all the aviationcontent as much as all car related stuuf🔥👍
These guys used to do flights into KJLN every once in a while and man I was in love with these planes. I still haven’t flown one, but it’s refreshed it’s position on my list of accolades after this video! Keep up the awesome content man!!

Thanks for introducing us to "all" the fly in people and companies when you get your airfield up and running. If you put on a "fly in" event, that will be something, especially with an RC controlled section. You're introducing us to a lot of cool folks along the way, thank you.
You picked the perfect time to fly upside down. At 21:20, the reflection of the lake and shoreline off the glossy wings was beautiful.
"Not a single ZipTie on the floor!"
George's commentary is always spot on! 😂😁🤟
Man, hearing Cleet giggle on the first move made me so happy. This guy deserves all the cool things he is experiencing. He gives so much of himself for all of us to experience this stuff through him.
Thanks for this video, reminded me on my childhood. At the age of 14 I flew in 1984 a full display as passanger with the Euorpean and Wordchampion Manfred Stroessenreuther in a Zlin side by side Trainer. It was unbeliaveble.
Look how far this channel have become, from only making videos from talking about stuff while driving a car, to freaking flying all sorts of stuff! And not to forget what an amazing crew you all are now! By far the best channel thats out there on youtube. Im loving every video and there is literally none I dont like. Cant think of a single thing that could go wrong! ❤❤ much likes from The Netherlands🎉

As a CFI, who has watched you for many years, it’s awesome to see you being able to do all this awesome stuff in planes and sharing it with us
Cleetus and crew are national treasures. Protect these men at all costs. Be safe brothers. Best content, whatever y’all doing it’s fun, interesting and heartwarming. Keep it up 👍🏻
It’s amazing how easily you can just pick up on doing new things. Such an awesome video. Great job Cleet!
Wow, these guys make it look so smooth and easy. Having the other plane in the air, as a visual reference for the video while doing the rolls, worked out great.
"Dozen" did 12 g-force? 😳 That was expensive, 9Gs is the F15 max load before it either is damaged or pulled out of service for extensive maintenance inspection looking for damage. That 12Gs cost millions of dollars! 🎉🤯
Just look up Trevor 'Dozen" Aldridge and it will make more sense.
Incorrect.
Awesome Video, and awesome shop. Never was really interested in flying till now. Thanks Brother
This is the first time I watched your videos. That was truly amazing. I got a Rush just watching that flight. You're a braver man than I.
AWESOME video! My only comment: at 37:17, when you drop that wing in the power on stall, you instinctively counter with aileron before going to rudder. This is a pretty forgiving plane, but in many planes, doing that is going to dump you right into a spin - which you can see starting to happen in the video before you counter with rudder. It's a hard instinct to fight!
I noticed that too..
I have a cat!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cleet pops up im watching asap!
I used to but they content is just one big advertisement now SMH 💩
@maccoretti51 then why waste your time if you feel that way. I been watching cleetus/ garret since he was on 1320. They have to do ads to cover their finances.
These aviation videos are amazing. I love the variety of videos keep it up cleet!
Great video been watching the ytubs a long time from Draco to Scrappy days this is right up there!
Hope you enjoyed arkansas. It's my home state, it gets alot of hate but it's a beautiful place with alot of great people. George said it's arkansas you don't need a/c 😂😂😂😂 that's hilarious come back in June brother!
Hate comes from ignorance, virtually every state is awesome once you get out of the big cities.
NWA has the 'nice' Summer weather and it's still beastly humid at times. The River Valley is even worse.

Cleetus, your love of aviation is just so positively contagious!
I have always wanted to tour America when I get off the trail. I’m now adding this place to the list along with the Velocity factory. Amazing!
30:21 Pretty funny that the 9 axis CNC model number has SMX in it.😂
Steve builds CNCs too? Gal dang
Never have heard of planes like this before. I’m very glad to have been introduced, these things are sick!
They are like souped up crop dusting planes a rich guy by me uses something pretty close for his fields that little plane rips and he does all kinds of acrobatics in it it's pretty awesome to watch his neighbors hate it
Insane !! What a badass video . Cletus can drive anything . Been watching Cleetus since day 1 , shoot since 1320Video days when he drive the Willys Jeep 🤣 Thanks for all the nonstop badass content you've been pushing out these past few years for us
Wow that was so smooth. I can see this being your next vehicle to be racing. The cub was fun last year. But this is a whole different level 🤯
Holy crap, you're in my town! That's wild, its 3 miles away from me.
I can see Cleetus in an Extra 300, Sukhoi SU-26, or even a Pitts Special … But seriously, I hope he Finds a AT-6 so I can set him up with the best formation training around! Which includes some of the guys from the Aeroshell team now Titan Fuels aerobatic teams. They are at Sun/n/fun every year!
Thank you for sharing that experience! That was awesome!!!
Such an interesting place to see, something i would never get to see in real life. Love this channel and its variety
These are the corvettes of the plane world, where as fighter jets are the hypercars, Cleet needs one of these!
Yeah it's nice he can afford something like that I'd never be able to touch it no way ever God bless
I lived down the road right next to the Wal mart home office. A lot of money at that one airport. I loved seeing all the cool planes fly form there. I think they fly out to where i live now just over the Missouri line.
I shop at that Neighborhood Market all the time. It was cool seeing the area from above.
Nice job Cleetus, Thanks for sharing!
We should start calling Cleetus "Mr Element"
Land,water and air 🏆🏆🏆
Only CZcamsr I've seen test's his skills on all three😁
Hell yeah brother!! Dew it for Dale!!!
Bringing back the old school air races like they had in the 20's and 30's would be amazing.. unfortunately with the amount of houses most places anymore about the only places you could do it would be Southern California in the desert, Nevada, part of Arizona, New Mexico and possibly Wyoming... maybe Montana but I doubt the ranchers would be happy. The long distance races with experimental aircraft were a REALLY cool part of history and I honestly believe they are a huge part of why there was such a huge tech jump between WW1 and WW2 when it comes to planes.
My favorite move is the Split S.. at altitude roll inverted then pull back hard to go vertical, then roll again and pull back hard again. It's the quickest way to turn around and head the opposite direction. Watching Dogfights you learn a lot of tricks, most can be traced back to the Aces of WW1.
Cleet... this is a serious comment. A good friend of mine had a few planes. He got the aerobatic bug and bought himself an Extra 300. Little bit by little bit, he started pushing the boundaries. He finally pushed too hard and is no longer with us. Please be careful because this road you seem to be going down is a serious one. I know you're careful, but so was my friend. This is a dangerous game you're playing and we all want you to be around to see your children grow old.
The amount of conviction in the "no sir" at 10:22 cracked me up. Like his life depended on that answer 😅
