How long have you been flying?

Great video, thanks for posting...what a machine, I love the Beaver and Otters, long may they fly.

@messner101 the civi has the throttle in the middle, the old service beavers are throttle, prop, mix.
they should all be that way..
-
@InfiniteMushroom if they make it that easy I don't want a damn radial. If I could, I would steal this plane. I wouldn't get to far since I don't know how to start it, but maybe the pilot would feel sorry for me and give me a flight instead of turn me into the mounties.

@bgiesbrecht101 and i bet FAA would shit if you put a buick unit on there Eh?

@InfiniteMushroom Complexity adds cost and unreliability.
-
@CA477544 No. On the beaver the take is in the belly. The wobble pump primes the lines from the tank to the carb(s)
-
@CA477544 this pressurizes the fuel lines with liquid fuel where as the primer loads the cylinders with fuel vapor for better combustion =D

@InfiniteMushroom Because in places up north like Northern BC, Northern Alberta, the Yukon, NWT, Nunavut, and Alaska such instruments don't operate as well under the adverse conditions, as well as it's not practical to install them as they don't have as many facilities that are able to do so. They are also not cost efficient due to the small amount of people. In more populated areas general aviation aircraft are fitted with those systems.

@messner101 Is the wobble pump also known as the primer? I have to pump a level in my cessna 172 just back and forth as opposed to up and down and we call it the primer.

Red handle is the mixture, the little handle I pumped several times is a "wobble Pump" it pressurizes the fuel lines( each beaver needs more or less pumping depending on how good the wobble pump works. This Beaver has the throttle in the middle next to the mixture, prop control for RPM is on the right. I pumped a little extra fuel into the carb just before turning the magnetos on as this Beaver needs a little extra fuel for a cold start. If there was too much fuel, she would back-fire.
