so the airlerons are the issue bcs nobody uses spoilers instead….spoilers would diminish all those problems to zero….from adverse yaw to dropping wings bcs of highAoA…..thanks for showing…the falling leave description was nice! thanks….so kicking the airplane out of a starting spin i had forgitten, thanks…but i.m low hour sadly…

I use this airplane‘s layout ( top struts…) for an Ultralight design and can use any advice for handling i can get, much apprechiated!

I want one of those models. Please tell me where to get one.

Too tight Hook Turnbacks are too dangerous, if power, is much safer to do the Teardrop Turnback.

Better man

Sir, would you happen to know anything about an airstrip/training camp off of Freemansburg Ave in Bethlehem Township during the war?

8:36 I am not an Ag pilot but this concept was taught to me by my instructor during my ppl training and is in my opinion the MOST important thing any pilot can practice in relation to spins/stalls. This concept for teaching that the use of rudder is key to leveling the wings during a stall recovery is incredibly important. Great video.

Thanks for this…really clear…72…just qualified PPL…in a tomahawk.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

thank you

I'm pretty sure this video has saved a couple of lives

Thank you for this life saving instruction.

absolute high level knowledge here

This subject needs to be a part of all ab initio flight school curriculum . In my time rudder emphasis was a part of stall recovery lessons.

This lends heavily to aerial fire suppression.

Isn’t it true that the adverse yaw created by the drooping aileron makes a lot of added drag to that wing slowing it down as well? I probably should go fly and feel this before commenting but thought opinions from others could be interesting. Such a great video, glad Juan linked to it.

I learned more from this video, than all of my instructors combined ! Thank you Wayne Handley.

Blancolirio sent me here. Fantastic video that all pilots should watch..

Thank you Wayne for posting this, even if it was a couple decades ago, still holds true! I'm brand new to AG flying and I'm trying to watch every safety related AG flying video there is.

Instead of " Ride 'em, Cowboy!" , the caption is " Ride 'em, Rita!! " :-) Great flying, Tommy!

Better do Teardrop Turns, not Hammerhead Turns. Too many stalling on those. Specially when tired, dont to Hammerhead turns. Logical..

The pilot here was lucky to survive, never mind being able to fly again.

He should’ve mentioned A/C weight. Significantly decreasing recoverable altitude ..daylight and dark difference. covering of the stall (sloppy flying) practice was spot on . I’ll have to assume he was flying a completely empty 502.

nice tom

No offense to the workers at the Allentown plant, but it took too long to convert the plant and train the workers on how airplanes are built. The U.S. Navy should have had Vultee stop production of their marginal A-35 Vengeance dive bomber in early 1943 and start making this plane instead at the Vultee plant in Nashville, TN,. But that is part of the TBU/TBY story; too little, too late.

This thing is rare The footage is rare Even the plane is rare

Very informative, thank you.

Super fun ride!

Very informative. Glad this history was saved for all to enjoy. The Aeronca was a great airplane.

Nothing is more effective than wrong rudder.

Hey Tom, its George Binns, give me a call when you get a chance. 908-852-7111

Why do CFIs not make students fly some sessions using rudder only maneuvering? Most trainers are so forgiving that rudder use is almost optional. I learned to fly in the 70’s and my initial instructor had already had me soloing. Pete Harris who owned the FBO switched my instructor to a newly retired AF Col. who flew F-4s in Vietnam Nam. We did a flight which he ended in the first 15 minutes and told me I knew nothing about flying. He started me back at square one, tore down all the bad habits and trained me right. Hard on the ego but I’ve thanked him every day.

Great information!!

Nice color promotional film made for Aeronca and thanks for sharing. I took "tail dragger" lessons in a '46 Aeronca at Boone, Iowa back in the late 1980s. The instructor had to "prop start" the engine with me at the controls ("switch off," "switch on," "CONTACT!"). The Champ was, as the instructor put it, "squirrelly" on a paved runway so we always took off from the grass strip. The 65 horsepower Continental engine turning a wood prop was somewhat anemic on a hot day for take off. The aircraft I trained in was not too stable in flight as I recall. In other words, if you let go of the joystick, the Champ would go anywhere, but straight and level so it was a "hands on" all the time plane. Very maneuverable fabric covered aircraft, however! A joy to fly once you mastered the take offs and landings.

he knows his stuff listen

I wish in the description, Posters would please post the year of production and other credits. Im sure this was not made in 2016. After carefully scrolling thru the end I saw 19XX but it is not legible with my eyes. It should be common courtesy to do this.

Wow, fantastic flying, Tom!

Wish I could learn to fly from this man or someone like him.

Love the band!

Excellent video.

Women are best adapted to fabric work! ;-) Hilarious

I think they need to build the air cat’s more safer like taking an air racer like a p51D mustang and put all that into an air cat so the pilot has more control over the airplane at lower speeds and not have to worry about the stall roll witch I call the death roll but that’s me this was a very great crash corse on the stall turn and how to recover it

Finalmente caschi di modello "Classic" o "Regular". Peccato che non siano di pelle!

Excellent!

Some CFI posted here years ago something like Do "Teardrop Turns" and avoid those flirting with a stall "Hammerhead Turns". Teardrop turns will add only a few seconds more to each pass. Better lose a minute in your life, than lose your life in a minute.

Thank you for posting this. I did my first private flying lessons here Feb-Jun 1970 via Lehigh U. AFROTC. Rushed to get my 35 hours in. Fondly remember the environs, but can't recall if there was one runway or two back then, so my search lead here, but I still haven't found the answer. Surprised to learn of it's Convair connection, which I don't recall ever knowing. A big Convair connection in San Diego where I have lived for 45 years.

Great instruction Wayne, Dad says hello!

Wayne handley and "the raven"

I'm not a professional pilot, but you mentioned something else at the end... fatigue. Bet you can't guess when I'm betting you'll be more likely to screw up, and more likely to botch the recovery.

Excellent explanations by a very experienced ag pilot.
