@rhampton1914 He has down elevator because its a taildragger numbnuts... you gotta use down elevator to get the tail up and reduce the drag from a tail low/3-point angle of attack... then once you have your speed built up you can ease it off the ground...
I bet every seat on that Stinson, that had anyone sitting in it, had to be recovered, due to their asses biting holes into them! That scared the shit out of me, and I wasn't even on board!
my guess he was very heavy and not much performance with that old stinson.He was holding a bunch of down elevator to keep the tail up.Bet there was people in the back seats.
The airport is Duncan, British Columbia. It is at sea level. Plenty long enough for most small aircraft. The airplane is a Stinson 108-3. Oler ones did not have flaps. Several things couls contribute to what youère watching. The plane may have a prop set for cruise and not climb. Although I canèt see passengers, the plane has seating for four. He could have full fuel and a heavy takeoff weight. All of that aside, this is a sea level takeoff and performance should be much higher.
Danm, he was lucky! :O
