    I loved being able to virtually follow along in this experience. It’s always nice seeing Ron and Parker as well! As for they plane, she’s a beauty! Thank you for sharing.

    mixing brake fluid can be an expensive and dangerous mistake. it isnt hard to find the red stuff.

    Eric, once upon a time, in a video posted by you folks, you made a comment. That comment was something along the lines of how blessed you considered yourself having been brought up in an aviation family.
    I had no such privilege, but in that moment, I decided that my kids would have the opportunity to say those words. Thanks for sharing your passion mate. Much love for what you do all the way from Western Australia.

    Ive been doing flight sims my whole life and am interested in buying a plane, but the 120 seems very old, is there any newer model that is still not too expensive? I guess I need a lot of mechanic skills too? Maybe best to stick to FS 2020?

    • @aviator

    Howdy Eric, I had a 1946 C-120 and loved it. It was destroyed in the famous microburst incident at Fort Hood, TX in 1988. Bummer. I want another one! I see you have the "sissy" landing gear extenders. They are a great mod if you really want to nail the brakes during a STOL landing.

    • @aviator
      @aviator  Před 5 lety

      Oh man! I'm sorry to hear you lost her. What a bummer. The extenders definitely help with the nose heavy nature for sure :) I miss being able to get the tail off as quickly as my Cub though, lol
