JL Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Thanks for the great link. The take-off was truly outstanding and the notes he took along the way were interesting indeed. What a trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a trip!Yeh, good video and I have two points....1) why didn't anyone think of putting a little wheel on the tail instead of a skeg and ...2) It must have been pretty profitable back then to have a "hat" store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kip Powick Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 1) why didn't anyone think of putting a little wheel on the tail instead of a skeg and ...No Brakes?Yes, while that is true, based on his final destination as well as the proposed take-off weight I would have opted for a wheel so as to facilitate a better takeoff. The pilots in that era landed by side slipping, (little if any forward viz), and seldom needed more that 500-700 feet to land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doering Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 That is a fantastic little series. Extremely factually. Many do not realize the number of hours and research required to put something like this together. This one is really well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
