The mark of a good pilot is to do a good three pointer landing. I realise that in order for these old aircraft to keep flying, they need to be careful and that means wheeler landings. I learned to fly in 1957 at Melbourne Australia.
This is more commonly known as a ‘flat turn’, it’s often seen in crazy flying displays of lightly loaded aircraft, Cub display pilots in the states can often be seen flying the manoeuvre.
Fantastic...flying..sound..music..content...does that thing even have hondo under the cowl?.. bet not.. wow...slipped it flat sideways so long it looked close to stall but hey bi wings have alot of lift. One thing about those crazy taildraggers... they know they are not done flying it till it is parked and tied down.
How about asking your parents to (help) fund one flying lesson in a Tiger Moth when you manage to finish your school with good results? It'll be an experience you'll never forget.
Most elegant biplane. Wonder what the swept wings do aerodynamically? Less drag? Thanks for the air show been long time I seen Tiger Moth flow so deftly.
Part o the reason for the swept wings i the Tiger Moth is to retain the centre of gravity. IN the earlier Gypsy Moth (DH.60), the wings were NOT swept back, and due to the design it was actually relatively tricky to get in and out of the front cockpit, underneath the top wing. Thus in the Tiger Moth the top going was moved forward slightly to make entry and exit easier, but in order to retain the correct centre of gravity the wings needs tone swept back slightly. See here: De Havilland DH.60 Gipsy Moth In New Zealand
I owned a Tiger and still have the book on its history. Wings were swept to make it easier to get in and out of front cockpit in case of a bail out. Sweeping meant it could have center section moved foreward but still maintain correct c/g.
ZK BLI was once owned by Andy Padgett who had a small private flying school at Momona Airport in Dunedin in the 1970's A close friend of mine was in BLI taking off from a grass strip when she hit a deeper than expected puddle of water and flipped over on her back. Andy as calm as ever and still hanging upside down was heard to say. "Well Blackie, I guess we weren't supposed to be going anywhere today"..True story.
For the first minute or so, it looked like a real-life version of the "aerobatic" routine with the T(h)ompsons in Tintin and the Black Island. Fortunately it didn't feature the spectacular ending from that routine!
Beautiful! That's what I call a well-sorted machine. Do just about anything with it and it still won't bite your head off. Easy to see why it was such a popular trainer. Thanks for the video. :-)
at 1:58-2:02 is it a trick of the camera, or did that airplane fly actual sideways? he kicks the rudder hard to port and it looks like he moved in the direction of the wingtip.

Poorly presented! The camera is zoomed in too close to the aircraft! Zooming out would give the flying display some context! Amateur! How to ruin a great subject!
This plane is simply beautiful.
I've flown as passenger in that Tiger, out over Waiheke Island, plus a loop, barrel roll and Immelmann. Magic!
That would have been fun!
Done the same, nothing quite like having the wind in your hair looking out over the wings. It’s rather romantic really
Amazing how he walked that a/c around in a half circle to line up w/ the runway with the wings level. I needed to watch it twice over. Smooth.
''Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines''. Surely. THEE most loved Bi-Plane ever ? Good music too.
I had a Tiger in the late 70’s early 80’s and this took me back to my younger days having fun. Mine was English Tiger serial PG-676.
Beautiful flying and super energy management! 👍👍
Good stuff
Plenty of life into the old Tigermoths. Lovely.
Only if they have had the main wing spar,engine and all cables replaced

He feels this airplane as if it’s his own body. Almost like a bird .
This is amazing! I have never seen a Tiger Moth fly like this before!
See...Kiwis can fly...this probably a bit better than average!!
I flew with it as a passenger and was very close to throwing up, but overall a great experience, i was even allowed to do some simple moves myself
1:57....woo that was insane. This guy has a lot of time and skill.
YYYYEEESSSS !!!
Thought we didn't have the technology to do that.
Very impressive.
Very nicely flown.
Stunning, & so close to the ground too! Thanks 👍
Could watch that all day. She looks so nimble it's beautiful.
c'est vraiment du délire!!!!! avec un super moteur c'est vraiment le pied, j'adore le bruit du moteur à pleine puissance!!!!!
bravo les amis!!!!!
That is the first time I have seen the famous tail stop turn 1:56. Amazing that he stayed aloft!
That was an incredible manoeuvre. I didn't know it could be done.
@@Burrowaree No kidding. A handful of right aileron in there and around it comes. I won;t bother trying this myself methinks.

Brings back memories of my first landing.
Here in Kent next to Rochester airport is the " Tiger Moth " pub.
And to think, Dave normally hops out of the TigerMoth and into the supersonic Hawker Hunter and does a no less thrilling display.
Yes, in the 'old' days. Sadly the Hunter hasn't flown for a number of years :-(

Wow that Pilot can fly!!! Well done Sir!!
Wow
beautifull plane, some nice acrobatics and good camera work, can we expect something more? thanks for video
I'd so much love to fly this plane on my own
What keeps you?
my age (17), I have a defect of vision and spinal curvature, so for now I can only dream and watch them fly ;)
How about flying with an instructor?
sure when I finish school and my parents will agree (which is quite hard to achieve) xd

Thank you HAFU for posting this, as well as danger Dave for the incredible performance.

I think you don't know what sweep or cog means ? And also stagger

@@justincase1575 Thanks chief for sharing that interesting info. I work w/airfoils at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft. Makes lot of sense what you said

Wasn't there at the time, but I can see it happening. And yes, that's the true instructor: stay calm as, whatever.
How the hell he do a full rudder turn like that
Yeah! It was like he was drifting midair, but BETTER THAN MOST CAR DRIFTERS!
Großartig!!!!!
Wow, I had no idea the Tiger Moth could perform aerobatics.

Probably more of an optical illusion as the plane wouldn't fly sideways, but at that point it's certainly skidding to the right quite substantially...
that makes sense. i wouldn't think it possible to fly sideways, which is why i felt compelled to ask.
У аппарата невероятная инерция, красиво 1:51- пилот-укротитель!
Gostei das belas manobras
I bet that old plane was having aches n pains the following morning...what a workout
Music?
What exactly is your question.....?

Wow, no dislikes at all!
01:59 - what the what? Flying ... sideways- and then appears to stop in mid-air and maintain altitude. What sorcery is this?
At 2.00min - How does that aeroplane not fall out of the sky?!
Skilful pilot! :-)

Falling leaf
Beautiful flying. Shame about the music. The engine sounds alone would be far more interesting.
In that case you need the DVD version, which features an 'engine only ' audio soundtrack as an option. Happy to sell you one. :-)

Poor filming
That's a bit harsh!
@@HistAvFilmUnit Yes, that might be true, but its so close up, in zoomed. No references
There's always one... I just watched your "Wobbling Gear" video: out of focus, no "reference". Best keep your mouth shut; *this* video was great
