"Learning to Fly Alia: No Feet The fully #electric engine has so much more fault tolerance than an ice engine - and I was surprised to earn it is actually classified as an engine not a motor. THAT and the whole flying with no feet thing was cool to learn about. This is another of several episodes we produced with Beta Technologies - They invited me to fly with them and share their story. Stay tuned for more training and a deep dive into how this all works. Thanks to EarthX Lithium Batteries for building the best battery technology and for supporting all Flight Chops content creation Please do"

"Sloppy practice to Successful competition The Immelmann How it started. How it's going. After a few years of training practice and coaching [----] was my second season competing in the Van's Aircraft RV-14 - I'd worked through most of the compromises in terms of limitations of the airframe at the Sportsman level. It's a GREAT gentleman's aerobatic airplane but can be a bit of a handful to throw around at this level. (It is not an airplane I'd take to the Intermediate class.) Lacking aileron spades it is very heavy in the roll axis and although I upgraded to a Half Raven air oil separator I"

"Get immersed Flying at an aerobatic training camp This is a clip from the latest Flight Chops episode - It is dedicated to Rob Holland. Theres a ton of his #aerobatics and #airshow footage out there; however my hope with this one is that it immerses the viewer into the less seen experience of participating in an aerobatic training camp. It is the non-glamorous behind the scenes grind that pilots like Rob are dedicated to tirelessly working on to perfect their craft. It was an honour to be invited to this camp and I spent a lot of time with Rob. I didnt ever put a camera in his face though - I"
