Yet Another Reason Why Experimental Airplanes Are AWESOME! Canard Boulevard 2025-08-12 | The cost of aviation is crazy, and it's not getting any cheaper. That's why experimental airplanes are the only sane choice. I had to replace the starter solenoid on my Cozy MKIV.

It's much simpler.No content in this video should be taken as flight instruction or advice. Refer to your aircraft POH and consult your CFI.

Fixing My TO/GA Approach Failure - What Went Wrong? How Did I Fix It? Canard Boulevard 2025-06-14 | On the first test flight after I installed my new GTN 650 GPS, I had both the autopilot and GPS kick off as I crossed the final approach fix of an ILS approach. It took weeks of work to diagnose and fix the problem - and in this video, I describe what the cause was, and how I fixed it.0:00 Intro0:26 The Failure2:23 Diagnosing the Problem3:46 This Was the Cause5:06 How Did I Fix It?No content in this video should be taken as flight instruction or advice.

Cozy Girrrls LoVac Composite Tools & Tricks Canard Boulevard 2025-06-13 | This is a re-upload of an older Cozy Girrrls tutorial video on epoxy layups and simple low-tech vacuum bagging. It was originally posted on their channel, but the audio had a LOT of noise in the background, including an airshow! Using some fairly complex spectral audio tools, I was able to clean up the audio in this video and make it much more listenable.

This Is A Game Changer: Review and In-Flight Test of New Garmin SmartCharts! Canard Boulevard 2025-06-07 | Garmin announced a game-changing technology for Garmin Pilot (and likely Garmin hardware in the near future): SmartCharts. This effort, ten years in the making, simlifies SIDs, STARs, approaches and airport diagrams. Complex rules and hard-to-decipher microscopic text buried on approach plates is simplified down to a few on-screen buttons. In this video I review and demonstrate just what it does, then take it up to do a couple approaches to see how well it works.0:00 Intro0:24 What Is SmartCharts?2:31 Garmin Pilot3:09 Approach Plates Overlay on Chart4:13 Load a Flight Plan5:15 SID & Airport Diagram6:41 NOTAMs7:12 Airport & Runway Details7:49 Planning With Arrival Minima8:58 STAR Planning11:01 Approach Planning12:58 Approach Details13:12 Changing Minimums14:33 COMs, Brief, Missed15:33 Terrain and Obstructions16:28 Going Up for a Flight17:28 Takeoff19:08 Selecting Approach20:55 Vectors for Final21:57 On the Approach22:27 Missed Approach24:01 Briefing with Airport Diagram24:53 Landing25:39 Georeferenced Airport Diagram26:07 Takeoff27:00 RNAV Approach & Landing27:39 No Live Traffic (Yet)28:24 What's the Future of SmartCharts?No content in this video should be taken as flight instruction or advice.
