hello welcome to Kate's Ag today is another day on our Montana farm
what are we doing today we're gonna do a little r and r today
most times r and r means rest and relaxation but out here on the farm it means raccoon relocation
here's the raccoon we have been getting quite a few raccoons in our shop
so we have to relocate them oh i've got a pair of gloves
this one's more like feisty than the other one
we are also going flying today so we have the four-wheeler on the back
oh
oh he's on the road we are at the hangar now and going to go flying we brought our
little four-wheeler my dad pulls it with this contraption we had built
you have to do the windows to be able to see
when we're flying that's pretty important yeah dad just said kind of
oh there we go
that's the electric fuel pump your auxiliary you want to make sure that it's running
hold it open a little bit so we can get some air yeah that would be nice
okay our elevation is 39.46 so we're just gonna set that see right now we're at
4050 feet 37 because it's not up to the zero at four right right and as its motor worked on
it picks up a little rpm you know where it's running a little more like it should
okay while we're sitting here we're gonna check flaps
we got three notches one knot both laps now yeah second notch yeah third notch we're gonna remove
them when you pull and push on the button to remove you know what i mean not like the steering
1500 hundred 2500 a minute or as fast as these motors can it rolling around airports
very fast with airplanes and in this airplane the brake is here look yeah and on the others
it's on on the other it's on the toe pedal yeah it's not on all airplanes on super cubs
oh interesting yeah not interesting when you're not used to it okay we're gonna cruise into the
center of this thing and idle down to the gas pump okay you're a little late on that
get back into the center don't this got really wide wheels okay you have to keep this center
because they give you a certain amount of clearance you know don't
okay now you'd start thinking about braking okay right here it's good actually it's a little like
because i wouldn't let it go too far so we're gonna bring the motor up a little bit
shut it off by killing shutting the fuel off to the motor by pulling the mixture
once you do that immediately turn the key off and this is
what makes it complex right a constant speed this and the retractable gear
you feel that rubber yeah it pulls that rubber base up and it makes that rubber fatter so now
this thing is stuck in here not just sitting so the fuel can leak out you got to push that down
not like that then check it you're gonna plug in right here kate
oh cool thank you and i'm gonna plug my earphone into the wanna here and i gotta push the talk
switch i need to put the mic in i turn the master on mags come on these are your mags
okay all the way to both uh avionics off blah blah blah acknowledge clear prop
okay boost pump on kate which is in case you lose your mechanical fuel pump fuel pressure is way up
we're going to turn the fuel pump on and watch okay now we're going to turn the abex avionics
on this is the white switch over here okay this is the radio i use most of the time because it's just
this seems to actually work better but i i like this brand of radio i had it in some
other airplanes but now i'm not liking it okay we're gonna check our fuel full and yet
they're only showing three quarters here pretty full here so these you can't really count on
always fly on the top don't think you the cages are telling you the truth because you
don't know if they are and you can't you know have it not tell you the truth these are your
cylinder head temperatures or 150 right now okay so we're going to release the brakes standby
active active 122.8 okay we got we got to do our run-up gate check our stuff go out uh
check our mags yeah make sure we got two electricals two flicks over one two drop coming
push them in this is the propeller changing changing gears in your car you want it to be
working you want to do it twice with cold motors because it's oil operated you want to pump that
warm oil into that okay now you've got to check carbine carb heat should drop it a little bit
about 50 rpm we've done our run up our avionics on everything looks in the green checking my controls
feel good on other airplanes you'll push the things back and forth you can see your your
tail you know you look at it got your seat belt on you're locked in 70 uh about 80 when you left
off okay right before 80. so glancing watching watching watching watching last watch watch watch
glass it's always glanced at the instruments that's your thing so it's kind of neutral in
the middle here so when you take off it shows you okay you're ready yes
look both ways you don't have to have a radio here
the thing about airplanes everybody quits looking after a while
okay
on
the wind was over 20 miles per hour which is not ideal flying conditions
for small aircraft like ours we attempted to come in for a landing about three times
but the wind kept changing direction we finally managed to line up to a runway that we could
land on we landed safely after we landed i looked at the airsoft and noticed that we had at least
a 20 mile per hour crosswind i'm very thankful we had a safe landing and i got some really good
experience with wind which is very helpful because it's always windy in Montana
