David's Modified Cessna 210 (550 Centurion)

David W. Hilsdon P.E.of Hilsdon Engineering Millington, Tennessee talkes about his modified Cessna 210

David mentions vortex generators in this video. This modification has increased the safety margin of airplanes. They improve short-field performance and low-speed handling. This is an addition to STOL modifications..

anybody noticed the small round object flying from left to right at minute 5:14?, a small, black, fast round dot

@planerider I did not see it until you pointed it out.. If you get a chance check out my video Roswell Hoax & UFO.

@planerider I went back to the video and checked the moving object again, and it looks like a delta wing. If it is an aircraft it sure is moving at a high rate of speed. Anyone else see it and know what it is. planerider is correct you can see it at 5:14.

I don't believe in UFO's so it must be a bug or something man made.

That's a real nice plane, I've never heard of speed brakes on an aircraft like that. Great video, thanks.

@RyanBomar Did you see anything in this video at 5:14? Read planerider 's comment.

I think I could use a good vortex generator. Not for a plane; just in general.

@kenrg Move from California to Kansas, Ken :-)

That's a nice airplane there! What companies are out there that do that sort of thing? I'd like to have either a 206, 207, or a 210

It looks like a bird from an other planet.
