Aeroprakt Aerial Smoke System Trial

Check out our test flight dispersing gender reveal powder from the Aeroprakt A22LS, and then make a short scenic flight over Lake Ouachita. The system has been dubbed the "Aeroprakt Smoke System" or A.S.S. for short (not by me). It is designed to disperse powder in a safe manner by a copilot or passenger and does not burn smoke.

Would you recommend putting a 4MM 14k hollow rope chain in a $30 mini ultrasonic cleaner from amazon? Also, would you say a 10k or 14k hollow rope chain is more prone to breaking? I know 10K is harder, but since 14K is softer, wouldn’t it bend a bit before breaking as easily?
Good questions. I got tired of buying expensive ultrasonic cleaners that didn’t last long, so I bought the large ultrasonic from Harbor Freight and it works just as good at a fraction of the price. As far as 10k over 14k, buy the 10k. They are both going to break but at least you won’t have as much money invested in the 10k as the 14k. The only thing worse than a hollow rope chain is a flat herringbone.
The 14k “bending” will result in deformed links that will kink and not lay right.
@@A22LS wow I”m surprised you replied sooo quickly! I really appreciate it. I’ll go for the 10K then for sure. I already have solid jewelry, but wanted to get a hollow one that I’d wear quite rarely. And so do you think the hollow chain will be safe in the ultrasonic cleaner?
@MrsJamiChandler yes it should be fine. Use a mild cleaner solution in the sonic and be careful to coil it in the cleaner gently. Keeping them clean will greatly increase the life of hollow rope chains. Don’t let them soak for hours/days and always rinse them well after cleaning.
@@A22LS awesome. I figured it would be fine, just wanted to double check with a professional 👌🏽. Got it! Thanks for being clear on the instructions. Take care!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who appreciates that geographical landmark. I flew the Ohio river up to Cincinatti several years ago in my Tripacer and I plan to do it again next year.
Smokin Joe's Rib Ranch is one of my all-time favorite BBQ destinations. I stopped in for a meal each time I was in Ardmore Ok. on business.
It’s awesome! We will definitely be back.
I know this guy! Great info Greg!
Thanks for sharing cheers ray
Is that a Pipestrel?
No, it’s an Aeroprakt A22LS.
Great video where is your camera mounted
Thanks! It’s on a boom mounted to the wing strut. I need to do a video on how it’s mounted since my airplane has a single tube strut. All components came from Flight Flix and are extremely well built. In fact, they are FAA approved. I wouldn’t want to hang a $500 camera out there on the boom that came with the camera for sure.
Thanks for the reply a video would be great cheers ray down under Sydney
@ray-xz3yc I’ll get a video out on it in the next few days.

Did you shoot this with the X3 or the X4?
X3
@@A22LS Great looking video, great landing! We have the X3 and debating upgrading to the new X4. Happy flying!
@RedtailMediaPro thank you! I’m hearing some pretty good stuff about the X4. That technology moves so fast that by the time you get a new camera, the next version is only a month away. Lol

Would you sell it to me when available? I am loving it
The airplane? Hmmm….you might have to wait a while. This airplane is awesome! But if you want one, I can get you in touch with the importer and a couple of dealers in North America.
@@A22LS You are right! This airplane is awesome and perfect and you are probably never going to let it go. I understand that part 100%. My desire is to buy a used A22LS not a new one. Do you happen to know if the they also sell used?
@teodorocano1967 they don’t come around very often but you can find them. Look up Aeroprakt USA online. Also if you’re on FB look up a guy named Dennis Long. He’s a dealer here in Arkansas and just retired as the North America importer.
What are you using for the speed alt overlay
That’s the built in GPS data from the Insta360 X3 camera I use.
Mena Arkansas and Bill Clinton the cocaine capital of delivery by airplane
Mena airport is still a strange place with a weird vibe to it.
@@A22LS two teenage boys song flying the cocaine into the airport they killed them and threw them on the railroad tracks there is one hell of a history about Mena Arkansas and cocaine they made a movie about the drug trafficker
@randysummerhays4168 I’m very familiar, I live in Arkansas. Mena is a 30 minute flight from my home town.
@@A22LS my aunt used to be a tax assessor and every month she would go to Little Rock to do her monthly report and say to the secretary is billing yeah yeah go ahead go on in he's in there
Say to the secretary is Bill in his office yeah yeah would be the answer go ahead meaning Bill Clinton
Right on!
❤❤❤
That was fairly moving when it touched down, thought it might be a lot slower
Primo landing👌✌️
Thanks!
Owls don't shit though
Well they kinda do but it’s almost the consistency of urine. Thus…slick. 😂
Hell yah 👍
Thanks!
Impressive 👏🏼 wonder if Cleetus seen this
Fairly sure I’ve never been a blip on Cleeter’s radar screen. Although I did meet him a time or two at the next years event here at Byrd’s where he competed in his Carbon Cub and won his class.
@@A22LS you never know! Hell of a landing. Just picked me up a Carbon Cub…..remote control 🥴 still sweet tho!
@napieraustin dude I want an r/c Carbon Cub float plane so bad I can’t stand it! Those things are awesome!
@CleetusM flying his qualifying run here at @ArkanSTOL 2023. #flying #stol #aviation #plane ua-cam.com/users/shorts-BrXYR3LdZY?feature=share
he got the upgraded acme shocks front and rear sweet
NOT such a great idea to touch on one wheel while still 'cocked' with sideways energy...but, yes, he pulled it off beautifully...no doubt...
Airplanes are the best❤✈🛩
I SAW THIS
I'd be amazed if this guy didn't have some bullets painted on his former aircraft.
A new J model
Love these Planes!❤😊
Me too!
Love Ouachita. I live on Norfork
You live in a beautiful part of the state too!
@@A22LS i used to live really close to Ouachita, I have several neighbors up here with private landing strips, trying to convince one of them to take me up and show me the lake lol.
@captainkhakis9826 I’m in a constant search to find the right acreage to build a house and an airstrip on. We can get our Aeroprakt light sport in and out of 2500’ easily and could do it in half that in the right conditions. I’m tired of airport politics here in Hot Springs.
@@A22LS I have a 607 acre farm in Poinsett County, unfortunately its an active farm and would be a pretty big project to build a strip there. My uncle's used to land crop dusters and tail draggers on the roads when I was younger there. There's alot of land for sale up here near me currently. You can probably Google "Hand Cove/Diamond Bay land for sale" and find something
@@A22LS looks like my last reply didn't go through for some reason. Google "land for sale Hand Cove/ Diamond Bay Lake Norfork " there's alot for sale up here by me currently. I have a 600 acre farm in poinsett County that my uncle's used to land crop dusters and tail draggers on, I almost went for my license watching them when I was a kid but never followed through with it
Already ordered and didn't want cold eggs.

Mad respect
It's wild with a stiff headwind.
Landings with a decent headwind are crazy fun.
Ledgend !
Indeed!
The A32 was my #1 to have, I had a demo flight with Andy From Havenbound , but the price went so unrealistic that RV took its place...
Out standing😮
Just saw one of these on ADSB taking off from Searcy and wasn't familiar. Cool little plane and a beautiful day for flying!
Check out my other bids of flying ours. There’s a flight school In Searcy that teaches in one. The Aeroprakt is a great airplane.
KANSEI DORIFTO???
Hell yeah
Liked the video and the conversation. You could also include the A22 status along the way and some video of the panel. The context would make the video even more interesting. All the best to you.
Thanks for your input! I’ll be sure to include those aspects on the next couple of videos. I appreciate your comment!
I really like your aviation vids....... Keep up the good work. Beautiful plane.
Thank you for the kind words and encouragement!
Nice, like a kitten peeing on velvet!
😂👍
I would literally be shitting my pants during this landing. I have never been on a plane
This guy is an extremely experienced bush pilot and was flying a competition on a closed course. He was fully in control and made it look crazy easy, but it isn’t. Energy management is a finely honed skill.
Bold
Thanks for the ride
Nice ride. I flew up to a fly at Winter Haven FL today and finally got a tour of a 22. Been doing research on them after I sold my RV12 due to back issues. The 22 was a great fit for me and I’m getting close to pulling the trigger. Glad I found your channel. Question. Is there any upgrade etc do you wish you had gotten or changes. Thanks KAPF
We knew the original owner of this airplane who ordered it to his specs and I love it exactly as it is. That being said, if I were going to order a new one, I’d absolutely, 100%, get the full Dynon glass with autopilot. Pull the trigger on one, I can’t recommend them enough. Solid built airplane.
NICE EDIT! 🙂
Thanks man! Are we gonna see you at Arkanstol again this year??
Outstanding video!! Great editing and music! Nice airplane!
Thank you so much for the positive feedback! It sure helps to know when you’re on the right track.
Super impressive!
Sweet craft. What is that extra pull lever on the Y stick?
Thank you! The lever on the Y stick is the brakes. The Aeroprakt doesn’t have differential braking like most aircraft with toe brakes. Squeeze that lever and both are applied evenly.
Very experienced pilot without a doubt.
Indeed he is
Great video. Did you fly the Vixen Bellmore getting the Foxbat?
I’ve not flown a Vixen yet although I do have a friend that owns one. The Vixen being a bit more aerodynamic and slightly faster has a tendency from what I hear, to not shes altitude very quickly. I wanted the A22LS for it’s short field and soft field handling. Having said that, I’m gonna get up in my buddy’s A32 soon and check it out.
