M7 Flyer (Dave) with his beautiful Maule was kind enough to take me up on the "who wants to be a movie star" offer, and volunteered to be one of the stars of my new demo/promo video to be shown at Oshkosh. Like one of those snappy talking old-time hipsters with a press pass sticking out of his Fedora... I give you, BackCountryPilot.org, the scoop... this is the first sneak preview!

One of my EAA chapter members was incredibly kind to be the DP, fight the difficult outdoor lighting, shoot, and edit this into a professional quality video.

Now... this is a commercial. As in promotional. As in sales tool. As in overt and intentional psychological manipulation to convince you to buy something. A couple of the bone-thru-nose natives in this forest will get their underwear all twisted because of that, so anyone who can't stand the idea of watching a commercial (even though it's being presented here for entertainment and relevance to one of our members) can feel free to NOT click on the link. Feel free to NOT to see the new hotter than the last one EZ Flap girl too

Pretty well done! You've got a Warren Miller narration style.

Dave, your hair looked perfect.

Great job! And, yes, Dave looks hotter than the last EZ FLAP girl!

Uh... Rod... we have to talk. Dave's absolutely a handsome sort of dude... but I've seen Dave, I've seen Becky, and I've seen Candace. My couch only has space for the two blondes. That's just how we roll here in tinseltown

All feedback, suggestions and thumbs up/down are welcome.

Hey Flap Guy,
Nice video, but there is a section that disturbs me. At :34 in the video I see a old VW beetle in the background sitting in the hangar in disrepair. That car needs to be taken care of. Nice Flap Girl though..

We were waiting for someone to mention the Bug. My hangar landlord had that as his first car, says he will restore it someday, and will simply not let it go. It is absolutely restorable, and he swears it would run with some gas and a battery. But I've been in that hangar for 23 years, and the Bug has not moved in that time.

And I wore the JC Limited Edition BCP shirt just for the occasion
I thought it might have been missed, but caught a glimpse of it.
Candace looks great in Aviator shades too.
Nice Job on the video Bill, When you get back from OshKosh I'll have to get one for a more extended trial.

Robert is right about the VW, it deserves a little TLC

Good promo video. I believe it to be accurate. I have the EZ flap on my Maule and would do it again.

Cheers...Rob
