EPISODE MUSIC►

[hooptydoo]

I’ve missed the old flite test theme song. Glad to hear it again.

[MkmeOrg]

Taking lemons> making lemon-aid. Taking foam> making planes. Seeing you film from the basement and adapt is exactly what I have loved from you guys for all these years. Keep it up. PS- As a Canuck I am obviously biased about all these planes. The Caribou is a true BEAST that deserves an episode ;)

[tommasoviani]

YES! YOU BROUGHT BACK THE OLD INTRO MUSIC! I LOVE IT!

[Baumannc]

"Nice beaver!"


"Thank you, I just had it stuffed."

[cesarvidelac]

I love this format, it's like having a good conversation with a friend who's nuts about planes like I am! And you can cover more issues, like this one (history) an even give more detailed information about anything you do on the regular videos. Good job, love this channel!

I grew up on the North End of Lake Washington. I have watched hundreds of take offs and landings of Beavers off the lake. Kenmore Air flew a fleet of them from their and on Lake Union. Never realized it was such an iconic plane.

[ChrisZwolinski]

Being a lifelong aviation nut, I loved this video. Good information but not overly stuffy or too serious. Just an interesting look at an iconic aircraft. I remember going on tour of DHC when I was a teen and the dash 7 was just coming into being.

[LethalHobo]

Hey great! at 4:44 I saw some footage you got and credited my channel. Glad you could use the footage. Made me happy! Thanks for the fun and entertaining video.

[matthewf]

“Up to Elevation” would be a perfect name for the series!

[JohnHill-jmtm]

Alex what a great video. An awesome addition to your channel. This Old Man from North Carolina has been watching y'all from also day one. It's amazing how far you have advanced in the content of your shows. Yes I'm a Beaver fan. Love my FMS Beaver DHC-2. I installed a sound system. Not only does it look great but sounds awesome. Love what you are doing for our Hobby. ✈😎💖

[EthanHeffernan]

Hope you guys can get back into some long range type fpv in the future, that was one of the coolest things that this channel did back in the day. I remember watching David Windestal’s penguin and his setup. A lot of things have changed in that area of the hobby in the last 5 or 6 years since you last did a comprehensive video about that.

[joecaraco]

I am a big fan of the Beaver and enjoyed your history lesson of this iconic plane. Let's do some more!

[beauson]

"it's no match for the power and performance of a beaver"

Me: * giggling like a complete fool * haha

[kevindavis]

Hey guys! Awesome vid. My grandfather actually test flew the first production beaver off the assembly line in 1948. He also was the last person to ever fly serial number 001. He later became head of western operations for DHC.

[jasonb.johnson]

Worth the time. The Beaver is one of the hardest models to fly in RF9. Stay Safe!

[mikebrown]

I really enjoyed this video! It’s nice getting information about planes that Flite Test builds and sales. Maybe you could call this type of videos, “Higher Knowledge”. Keep safe and stay healthy!

[air-headedaviator]

This funnily enough is very similar to Donut Media’s Up to Speed, but for planes! Heck Alex you even kinda look like James Pumphrey

15:00 oh... well no wonder!

[MarkusDieterle]

The Beaver is really great and still used a lot. Last year Harbour Air in Canada started testing one with a retrofitted electric motor system, fully battery powered. Since they only do short distance flights the lower range works well enough for them.
So it‘s essentially a full-size version of the Beavers you guys have flown in the past... 😄

[cherwcp]

I love the history of the Beaver and the funnies that you inserted. Keep it coming!

[Project-Air]

Loving the retro vibes with the old theme tune! Nice one Alex ☺️
