Collision Avoidance System For My Piper Cub :0)
มุมมอง 2.7K2 ปีที่แล้ว
In keeping with increased traffic and flight safety, I decided to look into a Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) for my 1945 Piper J3 Cub. Of course with no electrical system, my options were limited. The installation went well and the subsequent test flight proved uneventful... but fun none-the-less.

1947 Beechcraft Bonanza Short Flight
มุมมอง 6K2 ปีที่แล้ว
I thought it would be interesting to make a short black and white video, given the vintage era of this 75 year old 1947 Beechcraft Bonanza V-tail (Beech "Straight 35"). The flight was Oct 24, 2021 out of Peterborough (CYPQ) and the arrival/departure runway used was 27. The aircraft is currently stored in an outside parking area close to the threshold of 09 and therefore I tend to land "long" wh...

Great video Dave! I remember talking to Andrew after taking my friends RV-6A in there. Hope to be back soon
Thank you very much, Mitchell - and great to hear from you! I remember your flight into Stirling very well and sure hope you make it back again soon. I hear you are doing fantastic with your flying career... not surprised, and well deserved. Cheers
Sharp looking Bonanza. Looks like it has Cleveland wheels and brakes. Is that a Hartzell prop? Since it is the original 35, someone has taken very good care of it. I had a G model and put a lot of hours on it. Many times wish I had kept it. I like your comment on experience and instruction. Very sound and safe airplane in the hands of a competent pilot.
Hello Sam, and thank you for the kind words. Yes, it is a Hartzell prop... good eye. It's great that you had a G model Bonanza and no doubt, you must miss it at times. Thanks again and best regards.
Which Motor 185-11 or 225-8? I recently purchased a 53 D model with the 225 love it so far.
I have the 185-11. Congratulations on your 53 D model and may you enjoy many wonderful flights in it!
Only problem is tail cone has to be painted. It would be cool if someone made an aluminum tail cone out of very thin aluminum skin. It’s not structural so it would t have to be very thick.
That would look so much better. Thank you for the tips.
Love the completely unpainted airframe other than ruddervators! If you really wanted it to look even more amazing you could strip ruddervators and polish them and then coat them with Boeshield T9. It would leave a slight white film as it got sun exposed but it would still look beautiful and wouldn’t corrode.
Great idea, thanks Ben!
Having personally polished planes before, it looks great, but the upkeep is incredible! I like less weight for performance, but a paint job goes a long way in protecting the airframe from corrosion. 20 lbs extra weight or polish every six months, your choice.
Built a couple of hundred airframes or so prior to the one Buddy Holly was lost in.
Yes, it's very interesting. The Buddy Holly Bonanza was the same year (1947), serial number D-1019, and mine is serial number D-798.
These v-tail bonanzas are such cool planes. would it make a good first plane? are they pretty forgiving?
That is an interesting question, Max... I think it depends on a few things such as how many hours the owner has, his/her previous experience, access to a instructor with experience and knowledge on this type of aircraft to help with the check-out, access to a qualified AME with experience on this type of aircraft, sound research on this type of aircraft prior, and perhaps joining organizations such as the American Bonanza Society (ABS). I'm probably not the best suited person to answer your question but these are just some of my thoughts. Personally, I find the Bonanza to be an easy aircraft to fly but that comes with many years of experience, prior research, talking with lots of people and reading as much information as I could lay my hands on. I did not find the retractable gear or hydraulic assisted prop (some have an electric prop) to be an issue. The ABS has a great forum which covers and answers so many questions. Lew Gage of the ABS has written a fantastic book called "E-Series Bonanzas: Flying, Owning and Maintaining a Classic... awesome book... a must have for the older E-series Bonanzas such as mine. There is a fellow on TH-cam (Ben Weeks), and I believe he learned to fly on his father's Bonanza. He would be an excellent person to reach out to, and to also watch a few of his earlier TH-cam videos. Without doing your homework though, I can see getting into unforeseen financial or worse yet, safety issues with the Bonanza as a first aircraft. Regarding your question, "Are they pretty forgiving?", it is a "slippery" aircraft that can get away on you if you lose your focus or are inattentive, especially in night or IFR type conditions. There are so many positive reasons to love the Bonanza, but again, I hope that you continue to ask this great question to many others who are more qualified than myself. I hope this helps!
Beautiful …..I own a B35…. What year is yours?
Thank you, and way to go on the B35... very nice. Mine is a 1947
Very cool Dave! Love the inflight shots from the gopro! and the photos at the end!
Thank you very much, Rod!
Beautiful classic aircraft! Love the look of the very early models.
Completely agree!
I owned and operate one out of St Petersburg Florida for a couple years. Fantastic airplane.
Awesome!
Beautiful plane and video. Many thanks
Hello and thank you for the kind words
I was part owner of a A23-24 years ago. I really liked flying it. Keeping a medical was the hard part for me.
They certainly are great, under appreciated planes, sorry to hear about the medical issues.
I flew a 47' to the Bahamas, Vegas, Colorado for sking. I probably put in 200hrs flying it back in the 70's. It was a solid airplane. A little squirrely in turbulance, but a great little airplane!
Awesome!
Everything happened in 1947 😎
So true
Nicest video. Black and white appropriate! I have 1947 35, sn D-819
Thank you David, and awesome that you have D-819. Mine is D-798.
Very nice - I know my H model step retraction works but I missed seeing the step on yours - love you being on the "PPL" - the professional pilots line (others call it the centerline!)
Thank you, Dave - really appreciate your comment
Very cool Dave! I love the black and white. Where are you out of? I keep my 1947 35 at pompano beach, FL
Thank you very much, David. Awesome that you also have a 1947 35! I keep mine at Peterborough, Ontario.
Smooth!! Nice job!

Nice Cub.

I love this video...nice airplane, great winter setting, and the scene at the end (with the airplane sitting in the hangar) is beautiful.
Thank you for dropping by and watching. Cheers

that was really funny.
Thanks for watching 😁
G,day from Sydney Australia. Are you going to take the screws out of the wingtips and panel beat the distorted aluminium? 🌏🇦🇺
Hello John and greetings from Canada (in Trenton, just east of Toronto). Yeah, I'd definitely be doing some panel beating on those wingtips if they were aluminum but unfortunately they are made of fibreglass and very old and brittle. There are aftermarket tips out there but so far, I've yet to purchase any. Cheers!
Looking good Dave 👍🇨🇦
Haha thanks Gary, hope to see you up in WGW soon
I like it!😁
😄Thanks!
I wish I could buy one of these-my dream is to become a pilot. Great video! Subscribed
Thank you very much, and I really hope your dream comes true :0)
What are you asking for the plane? How many hours?
2309 TT and 362 SMOH but currently not on the market... perhaps at a later date
@@davecarnahan-aviation798 does yours have the picture-io-346 Continental? Are there parts for this engine?
@@ozelot250 It does have the IO-346 but I'm not the best one to ask as I have not had the plane long or needed to purchase any parts. It is an interesting topic though as people are quite divided on the IO-346. There are a couple of very good and knowledgeable local AME's who have vastly different opinions on the IO-346 where I live. One fellow James Powell has an excellent review on the Musketeer on his TH-cam page (Fastback Flying)... th-cam.com/video/2dA_HuZkOXg/w-d-xo.html whereby he recommends that you avoid any Musketeer with the IO-346. On the other hand, Dan Campbell, the AME that has done the last 5 annuals on my Musketeer (by previous owner) is also an excellent and experienced mechanic familiar with this engine and he speaks very highly of the IO-346, and that if a top overhaul is ever required, parts are readily available as it can utilize the same cylinders as the IO-550 or IO520 (same bore as the IO-346). It was explained to me, and from what I've researched, that the cranks are built very strong and rarely need replacement. Should you need one though, I imagine they would be difficult to find but in my 45 years of flying and aircraft ownership, I am unaware of anyone, including myself, that needed to replace a crank... but top overhauls are relatively common. Nonetheless, both AME views are valid and I respect their differences in opinions. It seems to be the same on the Beechcraft forums... some people either suggest you avoid the IO-346 vs the actual owners of them who seem to speak very favourably. I guess for me personally, I am on the optimistic side and the price of Musketeers with this engine are understandably lower and similar to Cessna 150 prices. I would much rather choose the Musketeer... for a number of reasons (and yes, I have owned and flown 150's). Hope this helps!
@@davecarnahan-aviation798 thank you for your very thoughtful and informative response
Nice looking plane but haven’t seen her fly yet lots of fast taxi?
Good observation, I bought a hangar a few months back and this Musketeer came with it. The plane is out of annual currently so I am trying to keep some life in it until it is legal (and fit) to fly again. I have another plane so this one is not a priority. Thanks for your comment.
Another nice video starring the Muskrat, but what about that hanger? That is unique and really cool.
Thank you and yes, the hangar is certainly unique... 50' diameter geodesic dome.
Note you did not preflight the plane.7/22/2022yr
Necessary checks were done prior to this start up and taxi test... there was no flight and no point filming everything. Thanks for your comment though and maybe next time I will include that sort of thing as I suppose some people may find it interesting. Cheers!
Beautiful !
Thank you!
Nice job Dave 👍
Hello Gary, and thank you
Great video and a beautiful airplane. Nothing like a polished metal Bonanza. What serial number is your’s? Mine is D-766.

Thank you!
Very cool, my father owns a 1947. N3920N based at KPAE for the last 36 years.
Nice. Your father has great taste!
I have flown many happy hours in the two Baby Ace airplanes that I owned in the 1970s. One was a 'C' model and the other 'D' model. For some reason my 'C' model flew much nicer than the 'D'. I finally damaged my 'C' model in an off airport landing when the landing gear broke hitting a gofer hole. Of all the airplanes I owned my Baby Ace was a favorite... tied with my 90hp clipped wing Cub. I finally traded my D model toward an almost new Citabria 7ECA.
You have great taste in aircraft, Charles... sorry to hear about that darn gopher hole. We have problems with them too. Thanks for touching base
No Flaps?
dude had no intention of stopping
Very Cool indead ! 😎

I still have a 1953 D 35 since 1983 ( I wish mine wasn’t painted) I love ❤️ the polished aluminum

Beautiful! Love the black and white vintage look and great music too. I had serial #62 and now have a ‘55 F model project that was stripped and polished. It’s turned out really nice. V tails are in my opinion, a supreme classic single. Bravo on the video.
Hello Robert and thank you for the kind words. Very cool that you had serial #62 and now have a 55F. I hope you are able to post some videos of your latest project. Best wishes!
now let him perform a full stop landing on that strip. Thats gonna be funny.
