Sorry for the poor production quality! Only had 1 camera rolling by mistake so only recorded sound is from headset.

Antique taildraggers descend upon a quaint Eastern Kansas grass airstrip for some food, music and enjoyment! My lovely (and very patient) wife joined me as we flew "Bess" our 1946 Aeronca champ just 12 miles south to a great little airport!

Sunset flight in an Antique Taildragger!
This was good info. I’m looking to get in the market for a Luscombe next year. I’ve always loved that plane, and an all metal example should be able to live outside at the airport 5 minutes from the house. You’re bang on about renting. I had a low goal of 4-6 hours a month, and because of the challenges of scheduling rentals and weather cancellations I’ve barely managed an hour or two a month. I know if I have a plane I love five minutes away she’s going to fly just about any time I have a couple hours of free time and the weather is nice.
Only in my dream bro... thanks for video... It helps..❤
You greased that landing at your home field. You're used to landing in grass uphill. Take a pilot who trained to land tail dragger on level concrete and he is going to struggle with the uphill aspect of the landing. I'd say take your concrete hops with pride because you've got the uphill grass landings figured out and that can be your field of expertise.
Good verbalization of most procedures. On the first couple of landings you used a fwd slip. Did you reduce power to idle for that?
I’m almost always power-off on final.
@@prodigalpilot good to hear. I normally come in high with power off and use a steep, slightly fast fwd slip. Keep up the good work.
Oh no...what happened to your channel?? I dont see anything recent...
Just out of curiosity…is this considered “flying in furtherance of a business”? I know that’s one of those issues with sport pilot privileges
@@manifestgtr no, commuting by airplane is not, in itself, a commercial operation.
I hope you start posting your videos again soon. I very much like your humble content.
Excellent insight. Thanks for sharing
I’m currently taking my training in a Champ for a light sport ticket.
@@davidturner6509 great plane to learn in!
Wish you had the time to complete the series and continue the channel. Life priorities change though. Hope all is well.
@@kyleriv indeed, life got busy! Hopefully I can get back to these soon.
Do you fly during the winter?
@@marknuetzmann4935 yes, it’s cold in that cockpit though!
Acoustic Gerry ?
Very nice, going to take my kids up for the first time soon also.
Super good video. Thanks new sub!
This was really motivational, thank you! I just recently started considering a Sport Pilot certification, and you made it seem like a great fit for my goals.
Looking to buy here in 6 months. Loved this video for a better insight! Amazing Plane brother!
Thanks for the info. What do you do for a living?
Any concerns flying door off in a Champ?
It's way better! :D
I need to try that in the Champ I’m flying!
More videos soon? Love the videos and would like more. I understand if you can’t.
Thanks for the kind comments. I want to do some videos but need to find the time! I also need a new 360 camera
I am hearing the requirements for LSA might loosen? 4 passenger, speed of 200 knots, and more.
Can you earn money in any way with a Sport License?
Sport pilots cannot fly for hire. The only exception is a sport pilot can get CFI-S in order to give instruction in LSA.
can i fly a light sport if i have my ppl
Yes
Good work Pilot!
Great video. I remember the flights with my father when I was little, they were the best!
This bylaw is truly the crusher of dreams
If you bounce and no is there to see it, it didn’t happen 🤣
MOSAIC certainly didn’t help this video age well. :))
It’s not law yet!
@@prodigalpilot… I can’t wait! I’m holding off on my purchase to see how far the needle moves on those newer “Light Sport” ac such Bristell. I have read on their website that as soon as its law, they will move up from 1320 to 1600. That’s a game changes when its comes to useful load on those ac.
Im a little jealous of your commute. I had 12 hours of instruction about 12 years ago, but life got busy. It slowed down enough now to pick it back up. Thanks for the video
Enjoying several of your videos this morning! We both know, practice makes us closer to perfect! So keep on doing what you enjoy and thank you for taking us along as your copilot on each mission!
Awesome video, discussing the and informing the viewers in the topic while "flying to work" is a great content.
Thanks! Life got busy along with winter and haven’t had a chance to record for a while, hoping to get more videos out soon.
Agree 100%
your camp is rock stable. Nice flight
Great video breaking down the costs simply.
The problem is that many drop out of flight training due to the onerous training requirements to achieve certification. The solution is to require CFIs to allow never ending discovery flights. Ie, the CFI is there for safety purposes only and does not require incessant maneuvers, short field, stalls, etc training unless he is requested to do so. Right now most CFIs refuse to do so, for some reason that baffles me.
Hi, i've been enjoying your videos, looking forward to the next one.
I got my sport pilot cert in 2018. Tailwheel endorsement, class B, C, D endorsements. I bought my Kitfox model IV in 2019. Flew it with a safety pilot from Minnesota to San Francisco. Have flown it solo to Oshkosh from California twice (4 day trip each way, over the sierras and wasatch) landing at the UL field, come see us at the red barn. I’m now building a series 7 supersport. It will have a 165hp 916is and MT CS prop. Once MOSAIC rules come out I’ll get my night endorsement and will probably build a Bearhawk 5. Also looking into RV-7 or VL3 for getting places. Do I care about not being instrument rated? No. I feel like the Sport Pilot cert fits more (actual, not imagined) missions than PPL. If you want to go commercial or have a family that you would like to fly a lot with PPL makes sense. I guess my long rambling comment is to say that SPL limitations are rarely limiting.
Great video. Got my PPL in 2008. Haven't flown since 2009. Now am in post-treatment from cancer. Have never failed my 3rd class medical. I thought flying was no longer an option. Maybe there's a chance.
There are a number of people who continue flying after cancer. I'm also a cancer survivor. I'd talk to your doctor on how they feel about you flying.
Thank you! And congrats on beating the cancer beast. After I'm done with treatment, I'll talk about it with my doctor.@@denisemangold2265
Did you sell this plane or is it still on the market?
I love the part at the end with Miki!
I’m looking into a sport pilot certification because it’s cheaper. I am really happy about that.
Really, the majority of my flying has always been Sport. It’s really not worth it for me to maintain my Private license.
Can I fly a rv-14A Can I fly sport for a little then go to private
Under current light sport rules, no.
@@prodigalpilotso how do I do this? Where do I go to get a check to see if I will pass before taking it? I wanna fly a rv-14a or a cirrus sr22t. I mean fly sport then make a transition?
Excellent video of wheel landings of tiyrvChamp.
Excellent! Thank you. Shalom!
Great video and loads of fun. I enjoyed watching the flight immensely in your beautiful old Champ. The landing looked fine to me.
Love it. Getting ready to take two of my 4 year old grandkids for their first flight. They are excited to say the least. Just got a mirror put in the Champ strictly so I could watch their reactions 👍👍
Do you still have the pacer for sale
Awesome videos, stay safe!
What’s your opinion on a champ or something similar for “time building” I’m a private pilot with instrument rating and working on commercial, I am an A&P for the airlines and a simple plane to work on is ideal if I run into maintenance issues…..I’m trying to find a plane on a budget solely for time building, and of course to have some fun, 2 seats seems fine, maybe an occasional small cross country or I take a friend or my daughter flying, thanks, and I appreciate the videos
Depends. If you need to build instrument, night or multi time, clearly no. If just looking to build ANY time, sure! Any number of antique taildraggers would fit the bill. They are also the most fun way to fly, in my opinion.
The FAA issued a revised policy a couple of years back making it very simple and inexpensive to upgrade older aircraft with shoulder harnesses (just takes a logbook entry) I'd make the suggestion that you look into it. I added them to my Champ for less than $200.
Already on the list for annual!
