  • Cool Video. I'm really starting to like the MU-2. When you takeoff with flaps 20, do you retract flaps all at once or in sequence during climb out? Also, since this is a Marquise, what switches are on the overhead panel?

  • @Flymarines091 Normal procedure is to retract the gear and bring the flaps from 20 to 5 @ 120 kts, then retract flaps from 5 to 0 @ 140 kts. Whatever you do, don't retract flaps in a turn after takeoff in an MU2. Because the flaps provide so much lift compared to most other airplanes, if you're not careful the airplane will drop out from under you, and it doesn't take much effort to get an accelerated stall. That's why type specific training is so important.

  • @Flymarines091 Overhead panel is primairly anti-ice/de-ice on the left, external lighting on the left, and panel lights in the center.

  • did you have 40 degrees flaps for this landing?

  • @lagwagon1208 yes, thanks for watching. Also flaps 40 on the "Mountain Air Landing" video

  • @bromschwig nobody takesoff UPHILL at Mountain Air. 21,000 views of this video and you are the only commenting about this. Hmm....let me know when you want to takeoff UPHILL at Mountain Air. I want to get footage of it for the NTSB investigation. I can see it now "idiot takes off uphill in his Seneca 1"

  • WOW! Talk about prime real-estate on the edge of that runway . . . or at least for pilots and aviation buffs :)

  • @mtnairpilot Thanks for the insight. Great airplane and great video

  • @1Gaumer Yeah when I was a line guy at HXD I hated seeing them too. They were a pain to refuel, and they are painfully loud! but as a pilot, I too, would love to fly one! Funny how that works

  • Great video on the MU-2. Keep 'em coming. I've always loved this aircraft. Never flown one, but would love to own one. I wish they were still in production. Thanks again for sharing these.

  • i heard these aircraft are pretty dangerous. I love the sound of the short stacks on those 331's tho

  • as a pilot i love these planes ... as a line guy at the FBO i hope i never have to see one.

  • Not a fan of the MU2's..as line guy anyway:P, but I love the way those engines sound!!!!

  • still awsome today
