Well, I got bored and had to pretend I know what I'm talking about. (The main reason I made it is because I enjoyed editing the clips).
The only thing I know for sure is that taildraggers can be pretty cool. Feel free to tell me what I lied about in the video.

  • flying TD's for 15 years.....and it still happens from time to time. Dont forget to add power in this situation.Power thru it.

    "If you have never ground looped a TD.....you have never flown a TD'r.

  • Excellent video!

    My RV-8 is in the paint shop, can't wait to fly 'er.

  • I've got sometime in N403ER the 172 in the near botched landing towards the end of the video. I can guarantee that plane has seen A LOT of rough landings and take offs!

  • If my posts looks messy or bad I have a prankster ghost that's haunting my PC that has done dumb things so please don't take it seriously if it looks trollish even though it's suppose to be about what hapened when I landed my tail dragger on Flight Simulator X.

  • A good video - and great advice-thanks.

  • I just love my Rans S6 TailDragger, it's only taken me 2 hours of conversion training from FlexWing MicroLightt, lot of it is to do with experienced instructor. Beware there are lot of doggy instructors out there who's only interested in your wallet?

  • One thing to note is that people are afraid of nosing over a taildragger.. It is actually next to impossible to do because the second the nose gets below level the horizontal stabalizer is up which in turn pushes the nose down. On takeoff in a cub with full nose down stick you will not be able to hit the prop unless you keep the stick back and ram it forward. In your video each time a plane flipped it was brakes. I'm no super pilot I have groundlooped before, luckily they aren't deadly usuly

  • Convencional é avião de macho!

    Taildraggers is Man's airplane!

    Fly Aerobero.
