Would love to get a print of the still image at the end.
Cool! I have a Waiex as well. Bryan gave a nice overview of the design. It indeed has a "Y" tail versus a "V" tail. Therefore, Dutch roll tendency is minimized thanks to the extra vertical area provided by the sub-rudder. I've noted that in turbulence that disturbs yaw, the Waiex may have a few more cycles before being fully damped than a straight tail but it's barely noticeable.
Barely noticeable and well worth the extra 20% coolness the Y tail brings!
Is that a corn cob pipe on the Stan Eval patch ?
It was a beautiful day to fly. My first avionics upgrade in my plane was to get rid of the last vacuum gauges and replace with GI275.
Ron, when did they paint the T-37? I knew they had, and think they actually look pretty good painted, but can’t remember when I first saw one. Back in my day, they were “natural”:
They were experimenting with paint when I was in, in the mid '70. I don't know for sure but I think it was shortly after that.
Hey Ron, in my experience, the best way to fix vac pump issues is by removing the vac system. It's a time/money vampire of a aircraft system. With as modern of a panel as your 310 has, I'm really surprised the vac system was even kept in the airplane through the upgrade. (edit, I see now, you need it for boots)
Can’t run boots without it.
@@calvinnickel9995 Oh that sucks. No pun intended.
Thanks for the video! I too have been learning how to GoPro since the 4 came out. I've learned some things. That freeze frame was predicted with the wonky frames preceding the freeze. GoPros and long 4k video are not the intended spec for the gizmo, so it has always been a compromise. I'll assume you're using the fastest cards available, and the largest capacity. And, I'll assume the card was freshly formatted prior to the flight, empty of any other footage. Also, I'll guess that the camera was shooting in 4k @30 fps based off of the motion blur. Makes me think the sd card wasn't up to snuff, or was stuffed and couldn't keep up with the write speed requirements. Rarely , if ever, have I had a GoPro overheat hanging out in the breeze. GoPros are great cameras, the weak links are the SD cards for sure. BWTHDIK. Back to the Baron!
I used the recommended cards to get the best results, 128GB fully formatted and empty. My goPro9 overheats easily, even in the airflow and from the forums, it is a very common problem. I even had a battery that go so hot it expanded and I had to wait a long time for it to cool before I could extract it.
Always enjoy the-310 videos 👍🏻
Glad you like them!
That's in knots or mph?
Knots for the T310R and mph for the Great Lakes. Since I fly both often, sometimes I mix up my designations unfortunately.
You get filtered in or filtered out. Not in your control!
During the early 1970's I started taking flying lessons. I got my private pilot license, instrument, commercial and multi engine ratings all without ever doing a single spin. The FBO that ran the flight school did not want any of its airplanes to be spun, so they were not taught. While I was verbally instructed on spin recovery, I never entered a spin. I eventually progressed to taking the check ride for my CFI rating. Toward the end of the check ride, which I thought was going well, the FAA examiner said, "what would you do if I did this?" and put the Piper Cherokee into a spin. We made two quick turns before I woke up and remembered what to do and thankfully it worked. It kind of shook me up, but I managed to conceal it well enough that I passed the check ride. To this day I still remember the sight of the Hudson River spinning in the windshield...
Interesting. I guess they don't require spin training to get your CFI anymore? I never soloed a student who had not done spins with me. But then I am old school.
@@ronrogers Ron, This was back in1974 at a now defunct FBO/ flight school I would hope things are different today.
Great.
You know I always used to land right on the numbers like my instructor told me. And then I learned airliners always shoot for the thousand foot markers. Once I learned about the reasons for that, I changed my landing spot and I always land down the runway, maybe not thousand foot markers but I always give myself some space past the threshold. It's always interesting to me to see where airliner pilots land GA aircraft. Many just shoot for the numbers like everybody else and I often wonder about that because they're not doing that with the jet. Of course I didn't bother looking up the length of your runway so I don't know if you have the option to do that on your runway, but is that something that you do when you fly? Do you give yourself a little buffer past the threshold, just in case?
In little airplanes I aim for the numbers. Runway length tends to be more critical in civilian operations (small civil airports). Whereas for the airliners, you usually have plenty of runway to spare and because of the slow response of a large aircraft, it is just safer to aim for the touchdown point. This is also the point that an ILS brings you to and to land on the numbers would require a "duck under" which can lead to an unstable approach if not executed early enough and is only something we do on very short runways in a large aircraft.
@@ronrogers very interesting thanks Ron
Ron 🤔That has to be the Coolest 😎 Shot of you flying I have ever Seen👍if I grow up I hope I am as COOL as you 🛩️
oh yah that audio is much better. sounding really good even the ATC sounds good, sorry for the Vacuum pump saga but i think you have the audio solved.👏👏
I think so too!
Ron are you a member of the Twin Cessna Flyer type club? Tony Saxon has seen it all and provides tech support. He could probably tell you what your issue is in five minutes.
I have talked to Tony about it but he really didn't have any other advice than the set the pressures on the relief valves etc. I agree, if there is an expert, it is Tony!
Interesting that they use what looks like a phenolic resin coupler. Some of the liquid cooled TIG welding machines I work on use a little nylon key between a drive/fan motor and a coolant pump so that pump seizure doesn’t stall and/or burn up the motor -just snaps the key instead. Must be a similar principle here.
Yes, I think it is.
Yes. All pumps and accessories have to have some sort of shear drive on aircraft engines.
the audio IS much better 🤩👍🏽 just the ATC parts need a good compression to even out the loudness extremes 😎 - and as is known, a relatively small but non-redundant organ can eventually destroy a whole body 🤔
I agree, but don't have a way to mix the audio appropriately. Will try adjusting the volume some and see if that helps.
Vacuum pump problems REALLY Suck!
Good day Captain Rogers, Your stories are really good. you definitely have the gift of gab. Maybe I missed it somewhere but I was wondering why you chose to work for United Airlines? Back in the day there were several other carriers to choose from. Why United?
I was interested in working for United (mostly) or American. United gave me a class date first. Interviewed with TWA and was NOT impressed and apparently neither were they! Got a letter from American inviting me to an interview the day I was leaving Edwards AFB to go to class at United.
Time stamp 6:11, Cockpit tour , WHAT AIRPLANE IS IT??? I can safely assume it is not a J- 3. However it would be nice to at least get a shot of the outside or tell us what cockpit you are looking at.
Well, that was the cockpit of the T-38C I had just walked up to.
@@ronrogers Thank You, However in reviewing the video ,Time stamp 5:35. All I see is green Paint and a little fuselage. I have a difficult time discerning aircraft by their paint close ups. I do realize however you were just talking about a Blue/White T-38 so I suspected it was another T-38 on the flight line. Perhaps the "Walk up Video should have started 50 feet away and not 3 inches away. Otherwise great video. Thanks again.
Sorry about that! I now see how that could be confusing. I have a lot to learn about doing video,. but I think I am improving as time goes on.
I think I hold the record for the longest student solo in a T38 ever recorded. 1.8 hours and landed with normal fuel. Of course, a lost airplane search had been initiated.
Well, that is impressive!
I was instructing in America for a large FTO with contracts for ab initio training with several Middle Eastern airlines. It is not unusual for students to have difficulty with the holdoff and round-out,many instructors will be familiar. On one of several remedial lessons, at about fifty feet from the ground on the approach, Ahmed started his usual overcontrolling, and the possibility of a good touchdown was increasingly disappearing, he had reached his limit, and to my surprise, he let go of the controls and raised his hands with the words that ''Allah has control''. As far as he was concerned, whatever happened next was Allah's will, and he would accept it.
Wow!
#true. I was a Navy Liason officer for Saudi flight students and also flew with Kuwaiti, Singapore, French, German, and Spanish students. “Allah will save me” was a well known problem.
I flew PHX - IND a couple of weeks after 9/11 for the F1 race. It was interesting to go through security as I was carrying $20K+ in camera gear including a 600mm f/4 lens. The look of the screener when it went through x-ray was priceless as his chin was literally on the floor. Needless to say I was called aside for a complete inspection of my camera bag.
Absolutely great comments on this one! You're building a community here.
Yes and I am really enjoying that part of this whole adventure!
Not me, but from a fellow IP. "Recover or we're gonna die". Student: "Allah will save me". IP: "True, but he's not gonna save me, so recover". I will vouch for that one. BC Raindance Tweet FAIP Willie Class 83-03
The mini rudder is cool. I am glad you found a boot solution for FOD in N727KR.
Ron, I was going through the helo/fixed wing conversion course at Sheppard and was in the T-38 phase of training in the summer of 78. We had that program also but if I remember correctly we just called it a "Buddy Ride". I enjoyed them both from the front and the back seats. We only had one mishap while I was there....the one where the 38 lost a wing.
Ron your stories and videos are super informative and enjoyable ….thanks for bring this information out for the rest of us!!
Glad you like them!
Very cool airplane. Even better that your son helped build it and flys it. My dad finished a Baby Ace in the '70's. I helped build it and we took turns flying it. Great times.
Very cool!
Nice to meet you Ron! Thanks for sharing our story. Some notes on the pictures, in the order they appear: Opening shot is Boscobel, WI. Part of our journey to fly to every Wisconsin airport as part of the passport program. The picture of Adam on final at Poplar Grove was his first solo in the airplane, just about a year ago. The airplane really belongs to both of us, he bought in with sweat equity. The inverted picture is in the middle of an aileron roll. The next pic is my dad and I flying out of the Rockwood, TN airport. The winter picture is New Years day at Janesville, this year. The picture in front of the F4/Huey/T33 was in Lincoln, IL on the way to Benton for the total eclipse. The sunset taxi pic was after a long day of XC. Adam does most of the flying when we go together but I did a couple of patterns on that day.
Thanks for the notes Bryan! It was really great to meet you and glad I could share information about your airplane!
I bet that thing would look amazing with the Delta wing
Back in the mid-1970s I worked at a flight school in the north-east as a CFI. The Air Force had a special program where civil CFIs, like me, would train future pilots for the first 25 hours. It was a "pass or fail" program and the pressure on them was enormous. My flight school entered into a contract with the Air Force and several instructors were assigned "student pilots" (not learners). I believe the syllabus was designed to make the pilots fail. It demanded way too much in too short of a time. Before this, I never had a student puke in my airplane, although some naturally became airsick. However, all but two of my Air Force cadets puked during the first few lessons, even during straight and level flight. The pressure to succeed was immense. One day, one of my better students was annoyed because he wasn't learning to land properly. He couldn't understand the "flare" process just before the touchdown. So, I decided to sit in the C-152 with him on the ground for about 45 minutes going over and over the landing process in our heads, just like a computer flight simulator which nobody had at the time. After that, we went into the traffic pattern, and he nailed it. His landings were perfect. To this day, I have wondered if he ever made it as an Air Force pilot. The Viet War was over, and pilots were coming home to a very poor economy and the competition for jobs was immense. True story.
I missed this one. Very good story.
Beautiful build on the Sonex! The mini rudder blends right in with the lines of the empennage, very well done.
My thoughts exactly!
In its own quirky way, that's a beautiful-looking aircraft.
Thanks! It gets lots of attention at the pumps.
That's a cool little V-Tail.
As noted, 20% cooler than a straight tail Sonex.
Thanks again Ron, that bloke was one smart Pilot / Engineer. Rapid fire and freely offered knowledge is the mark of a Gentleman.
He certainly is!
Thanks!
At an airshow 35+ years ago in northern-California and there was a plane on display...A Caproni CJ-22. It looked like a Tweet. 35 years later the Tweet is still in service. When they retire them I hope I know someone who buys one. I'll buy the fuel for that $1000 hamburger. $1500 for an A-37-ride/burger... :-) Outclassed and a gas-burner now...but cuteness :-)
Thank you! I really enjoyed that. I did get a leaky eye when I saw the Lancaster. I'm 72 and I've heard a lot of first hand stories. That is quite an airplane! I haven't seen a close up of the T38 replacement yet. That should be interesting. 8) --gary
Good one Ron. Definitely one of the big selling points of the A330 and the reason for its huge success is its range capability. It’s got some long legs. Qantas certainly loves the airframe among others. Thanks for sharing 🫡🇺🇸
This air show has the most F’d atc organisation ever. It’s total ridiculous to in fly there. It must be changed to better. The cult on the ground crew is also a puffed up situation. A visit with your plane is no fun alt all. By the way I do have access all day a military version of t 38 and yes, they are awsome
Muslims have a different mindset than we do. They are. perfectly willing to give up life to visit their 72 virgins waiting on them. The jokes on them because the 72 virgins are all gay males.
We should have never trained any foreign wannabe pilot much less Iranians who are now our enemy!!
How are plowbacks selected? Are they higher/lower on the merit list?
Tend to be from the top of the class. The training command selects them.
@@ronrogers ok thanks always wondered... they seem to do the same thing in Canada - posting someone as instructor on the course they just completed. Wasn't sure if they were higher merit or maybe a certain type that, while meeting the standard, could use more time to bake a little longer! (like "if you can't do, teach"... and "if you can't teach, consult!"). Either way, the military seems to be generally pretty good at teaching ppl exactly what they need to know without beating around the bush... and are not shy in giving them a good amount responsibility right away and/or having them turn around and teach.
:)
A flaming ice cream cone !!!!!
Good stuff, as always. :)
Thanks again!
Ron, do you recall what the chines on the T-37 did for handling?
Aided in spin recovery.
