I got this on my stage check

you install tires with a 337 ?

Newly certified tailwheel pilot landing 3-points on grass runways in a Champ. Wondering what to expect when transitioning to asphalt runways?

Just got a gorgeous 170B and wanted to know your thoughts on best of airport tire & size for 6” Cleveland

Great vid. Love what you’re doing! Would a Cessna 140 with a C 85 12F keep up with you? Or should I go bigger? I’m 30 hours into my PPL journey and just want to fly. Tail wheel really fascinates me so that will my first airplane to purchase.

Took a sec😂

Just did Tailwheel backcountry training with Bret and it was awesome! I couldn’t believe I got to do this! Bret made it accessible and manageable. My commercial CFIs were so impressed with my landings when I got back home. 😎

Great video thanx and regards from Europe !

Often on C-140s the wrong spring is on the tailwheel. 140s should always use the “early” model spring. The camber of the wheel should be level or slightly front down when you have the plane loaded normally. The wobble you have is probably caused by a slightly front up angle. Shouldn’t happen if properly set up

Yeup.

I love to fly the 170

Wheel landings are challenging but fun when you can stick those mains on the runway smoothly

If you want a real life situation stall spin, try 10 flaps, as you would in a take off setting... full power after reducing airspeed to normal climb speed... feet flat on the floor and a 10 degree right turn....

Thank you for putting this up.

The prop is full fine, why are you talking about MP?

Many fun hours on my 1948 170, should never have sold her.

Question isn't the elevator supposed to be neutral or down? Looks like you have up elevator dialed in the whole time. Thanks.

This plane is bad ass! I love it

I only flew 36 hours in the US (before returning to the UK) back in 1998. We did stall recovery but not spin recovery. I only restarted flying lessons after a 22-year hiatus but we don't do stall/spin recoveries during the PPL. Unsure if they do it for CPL though.

I made inquires to a Cessna organisation regarding spins and aerobatics in 170 aircraft . It appears the weight and balance of some 170 aircraft are not that accurate due to the aircraft’s history . It was also high lighted that these are 75 year old aircraft and the type of flight history is not recorded or known . While it does state iin the utility area it can be spun but with limitations . As I previously stated the vertical fin attachment is a fitting is that cracks . A Cessna engineer warned me about that fitting and the rear spar of the vertical fin. When was it last crack tested . This area was highlighted in the SIDS program by Cessna . Plus the trailing edge spar of the main wing is now presenting issues of corrosion and cracking . I have done over 1600 hrs in my 170 and to me she is an elegant old lady.

do not spin a 170 it’s not approved . i asked a test pilot from cessna many years ago about as i was under the impression during a spin the aircraft is stalled . yes his answer was but the rudder and mounts isn’t designed for a safe recovery for the recovery from a spin.

Where is that at

Love the video how hard was it to get your air plane license an how much did it cost

Love this view angle. Very cool.

Beautiful, took the Antilope island, Garfield stacks, point of the mountain route below the bravo. I know you don’t have to but were you on flight following?

All pilots need a tailwheel sign-off at the very least. Nothing like enriching your abilities. Our C-120 keeps us in the game w/ our C-195. Plus, saves on fuel!

Your a lucky man . Beautiful children.

Years ago my grandfather Gerald Lautenschlager flew and worked on this plane. Lots of childhood memories in this airplane. We talk about her all the time.

Works well for me and several others I know that have it on their 170,170A and B

Love the short landing

I do notice with all of the landings I see on you tube even with heavy iron or GA a/c. Be that with narrow body or wide body a/c. Most of the demos I see pilots do not seem to attempt to even try and nail the centre line. This particular example is no different. Complications can further occur by not nailing the correct touchdown point, as displayed on the runway. My preferred method of landing of tailwheel a/c is as often as possible to carry out a 3 point landing as you must be in the correct configuration at the correct airspeed. The landing will then be successful by a defined set up where by the landing will work. Wind, et al other real or imagined issues simply will not be a problem because you have set yourself up for a win, win. Also please remember to keep flying some tail wheel type airplane until you can safely turn onto the taxiway or come to a complete stop. This is especially true where stability or other implications or complications of certain tailwheel a/c types more than others due centre of gravity position or some designs, may make slowing or coming to a stop difficult in some ambient conditions. ☮️

Nice! Beautiful plane. Now, give us that full six cyl three blade take off sound

Nice 170 ,

Subbed this is so awesome 😊

Nice job!

Sweet

Does this fly basically like a 172 aside from the tailwheel takeoff and landing characteristics?

Your right gear leg is loose, please check it.

Decathlon??

3 point & 3 landing in one ...🏀🏀🏀 😀😁😂....

Love it! The color of this plane is awesome!!! See y’all Saturday!

Well done! 🎉

Promo_SM 🤔

Is that a super cub taking off?

Hal is awesome!!

Fucking stol planes and their op engines 😂 beautiful

Bro shave the head .... wear a hat .... something

safe travels
