Flying My Experimental Airplane to Canada | Unexpected Avionics Failure

Fly along on a beautiful IFR cross-border adventure as I take my Cozy MK IV from Ohio to North Bay, Ontario to visit a lifelong friend. What begins as a routine flight quickly becomes much more interesting when an unexpected avionics issue forces me to adapt in the air. Along the way you'll experience IFR flying, crossing into Canada, stunning views over the Great Lakes, a hands-on look at operating an experimental aircraft, and some practical flying techniques you may not have seen before—including a unique crosswind takeoff method and differential braking on a free-castering nosewheel. If you enjoy general aviation, homebuilt aircraft, IFR flying, cross-country adventures, or simply riding along in the cockpit, you'll enjoy this trip. 👍 If you enjoy videos like this, please Like, Subscribe, and let me know in the comments where I should fly next! 0:00 Intro 0:24 Background 0:53 IFR Clearance 3:00 Takeoff 4:11 Climbout 5:14 Oxygen 6:08 PFD Failure 9:04 Landing 10:02 Calling my Friend 10:42 Sightseeing Flight 12:24 Landing 13:23 Differential Braking 13:51 Fund Day at the Cottage 14:02 The Next Day 14:27 Diagonal Crosswind Takeoff 15:33 Takeoff 16:21 Confusion With Route 17:52 Landing 18:25 Customs & Lunch 18:45 Takeoff 20:04 Cloud Layers 20:23 Landing No content in this video should be taken as flight instruction or advice.
