Bellanca Super Viking Gets A Completely New Interior!
The interior upgrade and annual inspection for Gus, my Bellanca Super Viking, is almost done! This project has gotten delayed for so many reasons, but we're nearing completion now and I couldn't be more excited. Today we take a look at the progress and talk to Mike about just how much work this airplane turned out to be.

Bellanca Super Viking Owner Reacts To Vintage Bellanca Promo Reel

Today I sit down and watch one of the original vintage Bellanca Viking promotional reels. It's amazing how the Viking has stood the test of time these guys knew what they were doing. I love my Super Viking! Even if my model didn't come equipped with a "personal telephone." 😂 See the original ad here: th-cam.com/video/eZvcyqbEqKk/w-d-xo.html
Cirrus Flight Training: Lincoln to Cody

We're done with our conference and ready to head back home! Today we turn a 13-hour drive into a 4-hour flight from Lincoln, NE (KLNK) to Cody, WY (KCOD).

All Kinds of Aerobatics in the Extra 300L with Allan Moore
มุมมอง 3.2K3 ปีที่แล้ว
My final flight on Day 6 at the Patty Wagstaff Aerobatic School was a doozy! Allan Moore walked me through what seemed like every maneuver in the book and I had a blast! We hit the Half Cuban, the Humpty Bump, the Hammerhead, the Barrel Roll, the Reverse Cuban, and more. I am definitely a safer pilot for my time there and would recommend it to anyone.

The Bellanca Super Viking is Getting an Interior Upgrade and Annual Inspection
มุมมอง 5K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Gus, my Bellanca Super Viking, is a great plane, but he's long overdue for an update. Mike Redpath with Redpath Aviation is doing an awesome job stripping Gus down and looking for anything and everything that needs to be fixed or upgraded. By the time we're done we'll have an awesome race car interior! (Sneak peak of that at the very end of the video.) I miss my plane!

    Good video and great instructing. I was a little surprised to see him take it to the stall buffet on the second attempt of the power off stall, normally recover at first indication of a stall and the stall warning was screaming away for a good couple of seconds before the onset of the stall buffet. I think some “chair flying” the maneuvers, setup, reaction and recovery, will help him a lot, develop that muscle memory.

    When you own a Super Viking, you will use it as a yardstick on any other plane that you fly. The only other plane that I would consider is the 235 Cherokee. The 235 isn’t as fast and glamorous but it will outperform a 182 for less money. I’ve been out of flying a while but went to get my BFR in a 172 and I had briefed my instructor on my past Bellanca ownership and he said “you will think this 172 is a kite with a motor on it”. He was exactly correct. If you ever fly a Bellanca, everything else will be a kite with a motor.

    • @friznogg

      The gear down creates drag. It has nothing to do with how much runway you have. It's harder to climb in a landing configuration. Gear up when you have a positive rate of climb.

    Nice video guys... what year is your Bellanca Super viking? I am looking at a 1974 version with 2800 TT and 400 since overhaul. In mint shape... Just wondering what you would think it's worth? Trying to make a decision between the Bellanca and the D62... Hmmmm price was no object. Kidding.. But I flew a Bellanca back in the late 70s along with our old J-3 and a Cherokee 140. The Bellanca is faster, lighter and softer flying. Just give me a number you think I should pay for a low hours, great interior, all original nav w auto. Trying to get my wife to learn to fly.... I saw one other of your videos so far. You do a nice job. I'm sure the boys have learned to fly by now, eh? I started at 4-5 years old. Soloed at 12, when I took the plane without permission, the J-3. We had our own runway at the farm and dad was on a biz trip. Thought I'd get away with it. Instead I got a beating every day for two weeks. More to let me know I could have killed myself. Flew for over 30 years then life took over. Now at 68 I'm getting back to it. How much is a 74 BSV worth? Thanks !

    • @mortekaieve4729
      @mortekaieve4729 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If you didn't get an answer in the last year it's really simple. There's a hose with a weight at the end that pulls the fuel instead of a standard hard tube/pipe that feeds up from the bottom of the tank. Go upside down and your hose flops to the side closest to the earth because of that weight on the end.

    The instruction from the back is ridiculously over complicated. Particularly with the basic aileron roll and rudder following. Just another example of "over teaching" to make sure you feel incompetent and have to struggle more to learn basic sh#t you would figure out with some practice and less bullsh#t from the back seat.
