The untold struggles to make it to #AirVenture last year in newly built aircraft. Mike Patey and I discuss the various challenges we had completing our experimental aircraft builds and flying them to AirVenture 2021.
This year at #AirVenture 2022, a freshly painted FlightChop’s #VansAircraft RV-14 will be on display at the #Lycoming booth, be sure to stop by!
We’ll be giving away 2 flights this year at #AirVenture 2022! A #VansAircraft RV-14 ride along – and, AeroLEDs has offered to send a FlightChops guest up for an Epic flying experience with the AeroShell Aerobatic Team!
Follow FlightChops social media and visit https://flightchops.com/contest/ for details on how to enter to win these flights.
Don’t forget to drop by Van’s Aircraft’s booth at AirVenture – they’re celebrating their 50th anniversary.
We’ll be giving away the flight in the Van’s Aircraft RV-14 at the show and I’ll be in and out for meet and greets – my schedule and details will be available closer to the date.

I’m a Private Pilot, doing my best to stay current and learn. I fly for fun and might just be the least cocky pilot on the internet! My self analysis videos can seem self deprecating at times, but I am trying to learn from the small mistakes to avoid making a big one; I’m happy to share and find it rewarding to help other pilots or aspiring aviators in any way that I can. How does the saying go? “Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards”. And in aviation, not all tests are survivable.
My virtual “ride-along” flying videos are aimed and sharing my experiences and giving back to the aviation community which has been so helpful to me. I shoot multi-camera angles, get detailed real time instrument panel shots, and have radio intercom audio. I respect people’s time, so I put a fair bit of work into editing to keep the videos concise and engaging; I add animations and further graphics and voice overs where needed to add context and explanations.
My hope is to continue to grow and evolve the “Flight Chops” project with input and support from the aviation community!

I am a “weekend warrior” private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience – I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve…. Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share.
Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.
