  • Some reasonable quartering crosswinds called me to the airport for a quick flight to practice my landing technique. The Stinson 108 -3 or "Big Tail" is known to be a beast for ground handling in winds above 20 kts. With the winds still in the teens I decided it would be well within my abilities while still providing a little challenge. As I arrived at the airport two other members were coming back from practicing commercial maneuvers and approaches. They gave me an update on the current conditions. Once up I was reminded how you can't relax when flying a tailwheel aircraft, even when you are not flying the back country. As always classic aircraft, taildraggers, crosswinds, and friends make for a fun time.

    Yes, get back on the horse. What I tell myself on climb out after an "exciting" landing.

      Thank you for commenting. We put a lot of time into these videos, yet our experience and shoestring budget show. I'm glad a few folks enjoy our efforts.

      Yes. It's fairly cheap. You get it through Coopers Landing in WA

    What size tire did you move up to? 800 or 850?

      8.5" I have a set of aero classic 8.5X6 smooths that list as a 22" I hope to put on later this summer for a few trips where we will not be seeing any pavement.

      I did check out the next video. That thing gets dirty quick when performing winter maintenance. It's like a dirt magnet.
