Watching this made me remember the day almost 30 years ago when I decided to see why they recommended such low tire pressure on my Evans VP-1. It sure got off the ground faster, but it was like trying to land a basketball. Took me half an hour and 3 go arounds to get it back on the ground; one minute to let the air back outta those tires. Thankfully, no one was there shooting video.
Hey its a tail dragger your supposed to bounce them in arent you?? Kidding, I fly a Pober Pixie and have bounced that so many times I cant even count, great video, nice plane....happy landings
I am not a pilot myself, but have designed and flown my own rc models. The first touch and go seemed to be very close to stall. If you have a tip stall the plane can flip over and I dont see any head rest or roll bar
Nothing like stretching a landing! That plane can take a beating, He slammed that first landing in, full on stall. Either he can't do 3-point landings or he can't land, but tell Peter to stop slamming that bird in! Its a beautifulplane though!
what is the name of the song??

From the landings I thought you were flying a spacehopper not a spacewalker. Only kidding looks like fun.

He should try coming in faster and land on the mains only,no bounce.... Stalling it on is only necessary in short field landings

Hey Peter if you used a larger tire you plane might just bounce a little better... Come on go for 4 bounces next time....

That is a beautiful airplane! I'm working on designing my own homebuilt. How is the the Lycoming treating you?

Nice video. My personal record is three bounces one one landing, but I don't have a video to prove it :(

Guys, maybe Pete knows what he is doing in his aircraft. He is having fun and I am sure he knows where the stall is.
Some people are such know-it-alls it spoils life for everyone else. What did they do before anonymous forums, collect bruises?

Nice airplane...I hope this guy either stops stalling, or keeps getting lucky.
