Hey Dwaine, I can identify with you. In my 70s now and still flying my 46 T- Craft. Started as a little boy on mys dads farm strip flying with him in his 46 T-Craft lol!. I was one of those kid airport bums myself. Everytime i heard an airplane fly over, I would run outside to see it. Soled on my 16th birthday and had private when 17. Thanks for the great videos.
Liked and subscribed. Loving this. I had my first flying lesson in a Taylorcraft at Lakeside Airport in Granite City, Illinois when I was twelve years old. Instructors name is Leo Webb. That was in 1959. I still remember that like it was yesterday. I loved that little airplane. Heel brakes was the only challenging thing for me back then. Flying never stopped after that. Long story. I was wondering if you could do a video on the Culver Cadet? My Uncle owned one of those many years ago. He's the one that inspired me to fly when I was around eight years old. I inherited his logbook and leather helmet and other items pertaining to aviation, along with a couple of tickets he had been selling for a barnstorming pilot with the pilots name on them. All treasures to me. Keep doing what your doing. I'll be watching you!
I have N(C)29885! One of the first Deluxe models rolled out April 1941! Just seventy units after this one! And it's also a BL but is also one of the BL(12) models with enclosed cowl and shock-mounted panel. And it still has the Lycoming O-145.
I remember when the Baker's brought this beautiful aircraft to Oshkosh. It still looks great and besides the coolness of an antique its about as affordable airplane as you can get for operating cost. My BL was 188 serial numbers older and a '40. N29634. Now de-registered I have tried to get it back unsuccessfully. Great walk around and flight video Dewey. I'm permanently jealous of Andrew, he gets to fly all the cool ones.
Beautiful airplane! My great grandfather was an avid pilot in the late 20s and 30s. He owned 7 or 8 planes during this period. He flew usually from the airport that is located in Bucyrus Ohio. We have many log books of his and it’s so interesting to read through them. My grandfather also trained others in the joy of flying. Unfortunately on Mother’s Day in 1939 he was flying with a man from Upper Sandusky who was in his last flight as a student. They were flying a TCraft similar to this. My grandpa had went to the airport that morning with his Dad and was watching from the ground, my grandpa was 9 yrs old at the time. During the flight something on the right wing went wrong and it seems from other spectators the fabric began to rip. They, according to my grandpa,may have been performing an Immelmann turn at the time. Unfortunately they lost control and had a 900 ft dive straight down. We have the cracked altimeter, parts of the prop and a few other pieces from that day. I wish I would have learned to fly when I was younger! My oldest son has that desire now and I hope he follows through. Love the old planes and the history of flight especially all the early days of aviation. Thanks for sharing this piece of history!!
I love these videos, keep 'em coming! I'd love to do something like this in my area of the PNW. We have a lot of great museums/collections of gorgeous vintage birds.
A man by the name of Walter Jamouneau designed the J-2 cub which was developed into the J-3, C.G. Taylor sold his shares in the Taylor aircraft Company to W.T. Piper and moved on to Start the Taylorcraft Corporation. Piper renamed the company after himself and Taylor designed the tandem seating Taylorcraft to follow his idea that it would perform better than the Cub on equivalent power. T-carts are faster than Cubs.
Has always been esthetically one of my favorite panels, that big tach with the 2 gauges is like some kind of mechanical engine info system :) I suppose with the wheels it was supposed to be carlike, in their advertising back then they would often depict businessmen commuting in Tcrafts.
I'm not sure Courtney. I have so much that I shot over the past couple years and I never did the edit. Do you have any video's from the biplane flying around or are all yours still shots?
A man named Charlie Feris owned the “Hinsdale Airport” in Illinois where I learned to fly in a 1939 T-Craft which I bought for $500. Charlie sold the airport and bought “Taylorcraft” and started building them again. There was a nice article in the April 1979 issue of “Flying” magazine. I still have my copy because Charlie was my instructor. I met his wife Dorothy in Oshkosh just before she sold Taylorcraft .
My dads name was OD twist I solo this plane in pekin il. When I was 16 years old I havepics of this plane when it was green and white n29815 I am now 63 years of age. my name is Jan Harris

Great Video. Andrews knowledge of the planes he flies is really impressive!
Andrew is no joke. He's a library of knowledge

Thanks Dewey , I enjoyed that. Nice to hear from you. Please don't be a stranger! Take care.

Awesome video Dewey!
Thanks Captain Cam
Yeah!! So glad you’re back at it Dewey!!! Great video, can’t wait to see part 2
Sean, I just finished part 2 and it is pretty good. Might be one of my best review video's
I love these videos, keep 'em coming! I'd love to do something like this in my area of the PNW. We have a lot of great museums/collections of gorgeous vintage birds.

Can't wait for part 2 and watch this beauty fly🛩️
Part 2 is pretty good. I'm sure you'll like it.
such an amazing looking plane!
Has always been esthetically one of my favorite panels, that big tach with the 2 gauges is like some kind of mechanical engine info system :) I suppose with the wheels it was supposed to be carlike, in their advertising back then they would often depict businessmen commuting in Tcrafts.
Great video,beautiful plane. But it looked like something was leaking along the fire wall.
Are you back into videos?! Awesome!
I'm not sure Courtney. I have so much that I shot over the past couple years and I never did the edit.
Do you have any video's from the biplane flying around or are all yours still shots?
I only do stills. Sorry!
Can you tell me who owns this talorcraft now I would love to contact the owners and send him pictures of it when we owned it in 1970 thanks Jan
Love it!
Nice.
Wow your buddy has a great narrators voice, lol
Guess the first clip of part two will be putting fuel in it.
The Taylorcraft was put back into production in the late 70's and early 80's, do you know where that new Taylorcraft was produced Dewey?
The new production T-Crafts were built in the same factory in Alliance, Ohio where the originals were produced, until the type certificate was sold.

Those yokes were like auto steering wheels wonder if they were trying to make new pilots feel more like it was lot like car.
If had that plane I would upgrade the plane with new control yoke . add Garmin system and new steam gauges . and Bush tires and suspension
Rod.. that wouldn't fly in the antique world. Sounds like you need a old Super Cub to do all those mods.
The sad thing is I only know about this plane because of Trevor Jacob. He destroyed a beautiful plane.
