Fulltime RV Living Adventures
It took me awhile but I have posted the video of the my Idaho backcountry flying/camping trip from earlier this summer. The trip is always great fun and challenging. It seems like there are always things happening to keep one on their toes an this year was no different. The first was landing with a… [Read More]
It has been a busy, busy spring and summer – stressful too. I hope to update ya’ll on all that at some point. In the mean time, here’s a short video of one of the summers activities. I hope you enjoy!
How’s this for peaceful!! Early morning on the edge of the Gila Wilderness Area with a campfire and quiet!!
My RV-4 has suffered from high oil temperature during the warmer summer months when the outside air temperature is up. I find this rather bothersome so I decided to do something about it. The stock oil cooler location for the RV-4 is with it bolted onto the cylinder baffles behind cylinder #3. This is less… [Read More]
I’ve got a couple new videos for you! This one is filmed with a 360 degree camera. I’m still learning how to process the footage and turn it into a video so don’t expect too much. Do crank up the resolution though! https://youtu.be/PaxzeW-2Xv4 This one I captured a few weeks ago. Short and sweet… [Read More]
New years day seems like a swell time to make the first flight of a new year. So, to kick things off, I did just that. I picked up a friend and took them for a little ride and then back home. No video, nothing too exciting, just some nice flying!

There was wildfire smoke from California in the skies but I couldn’t let it ruin my flying. On this day, I visited the Beaverhead airstrip, Negrito… [Read More]
This past weekend was the annual New Mexico Pilots Association (NMPA) backcountry airstrip work weekend. The group performs maintenance on the backcountry airstrips each year and this was the weekend to do that work. I put together the following video of that activity. Be sure to set to 1080HD quality or it will look terrible…. [Read More]
Saturday morning was beautiful here in New Mexico. Rain showers had passed thru overnight. There was lots of moisture on the ground (for the desert) and even some still falling from the sky. A perfect opportunity to do some sight seeing! I needed to do some video camera testing so I strapped on the cameras… [Read More]
I figured it was time to bring the pressure recovery wheel skirts saga to an end… If you recall… way back in June of 2018, I installed larger tires on my Vans RV-4. This necessitated larger wheel skirts. Those were installed a little later that summer. They are the pressure-recovery type that make my airplane… [Read More]
