  • Should have built a Stinson 108-3 with a larger rudder :)

    Was this a kit? if so where from?

  • Yes,well..

    This is not a kit.Was built from skratch on Wendell Hostetler plans.

  • nice 1 but u have to pull up when go left or right so the nose still can be up

  • I had no intention of going left nor right.The plan was to gain hight straight forward..The plane however had its own plan and stalled on me on take off due to lack of airspeed.Tried to recover with the rudder but this particular aircraft has a very small rudder,and again,airspeed.The floats did not glide very well in the snow,and they were also heavy.The damage was minor in this episode,and the plane flew very well on wheels.

  • learn to fly.

  • True..wish you were there to show us.

  • I seen him picking his nose.Thats why he crashed

  • hope you could repair the beauty and she's still flying. My analysis as an not so experienced pilot: It's not underpowerded, it was just a wrong start by not using full throttle from the beginning, by not raising the elevator enough during the left turn and by being afraid to not over pulling the elevator during rolling. The correction you made after take offwasn't bad and you have kept the energy instead of raising up, but the turn was too steep for this speed. Take care.

  • Good we dont have snow!

  • LOL. Everybody becomes an expert AFTER a crash!

  • man that plane is awsome!!!hope you got it all back together

  • i found the plans and a company who cuts the kits..

  • It is a beautiful plane. Good Job do you have any close up pics of it? Where can i get a set of plans?
