Tailwheels and Crosswind - Part II
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июн 2024
- Part II of the tailwheel video series shows my first flight with Doug in the Tailorcraft L-2, a two-seater (tandem) which makes a great trainer for tailwheel flying. After some steep turns to get a feel for the aircraft and its controls, we are moving on to slow flight and stalls before returning to the pattern at Mason City, IA for landings and take-offs.

“The centerline of the runway is over here, it’s not crowded. It’s where the professionals live”. What a comedian. :)
That was funnY!
Bruce Bohannon taught me how to fly an this instructor reminds me of him so much!
"Next time put this thing down on the centerline. This is a part 121 operation." -Big John 1999
@Kevin Because that's where they paint the lines!!
😅😅
most clear easy to understand instructor I've seen.
What an excellent instructor, Martin. So clear and methodical in the way he introduced the various air works and built them up into the whole package.
I agree. Doug sets a fantastic example for instruction.
- Martin
@@martinpauly Can you PM me Dougs contact info. It might be nice to get some instruction from him.
@@dklbbachsame, I’d love to get my tail wheel from him
Whoa. Doug Rozendaal as a tailwheel instructor?!? Wwwwow. Like having Beethoven for piano lessons!
Yes, pretty much 👍
- Martin
Doug rules. You are very fortunate to have such a great Tailwheel and Multi CFI
The first thing I did after getting my PPL (flying 172s and PA28s) was go and get my tail wheel endorsement in a Citabria, and then do a basic aerobatics course. I learn SO much about aircraft handling on the ground, and in the air. 15 years later I regularly go and rent the Citabria for a bit of stick and rudder practice, and some tail wheel fun. I just love it!
Good on you for doing that. I wish there was a Citabria or Decathlon for rent here at my home airport for an occasional fun flight and to stay proficient.
- Martin
I am right at the end of my tailwheel endorsement training. I have learned so much and I am happy I did it. Much respect for the guys that fly these all the time. Thanks for a great video.
You are welcome, Mike - enjoy the tailwheel flying!
- Martin
! ! ! AWESOME ! ! !
What a Heck of Opportunity To Fly With Captain Doug !
I Started My Flights On A P-56C, My Dear Paulistinha, In Bragança Paulista SBBP, SP.
Today I See How Delightful and Frightening, at The Same Time, Were the Instruction Flights.
And You Brought These Beautiful Memories In This Video.
Besides the Beautiful Place (How Beautiful Mason City is) Something Very Characteristic was the Manual Airplane Start.
This Was the "Standard Procedure" For the P-56C.
Thank You Very Much Martin for Another Great and Important Video.
By The Way, THIS IS THE REAL DEAL !
This Is THE FOUNDATION For ALL THE APPROACHES (Precision and Non Precision) !
The Foundation For The Famous JFK’s Visual Canarsie Approach RWY 13L or Bogota’s Visual Approach RWY 31L/R, Among Many Others All Over The World !
! ! ! EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY ! ! !
For You and We All, Your Viewrs !
Many Thanks !
Best Regards !
Please, Send My Best For Captain Doug
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🌿
Thanks for the kind words!
- Martin
This cracks me up, this video was suggested, first clip I thought, “hey that looks like KMCW, hey that looks like Doug” then then I was like, “that’s Doug’s hangar and Marks 🦫!” Way too cool! Thanks for sharing Martin!
You are welcome!
- Martin
My tailwheel check out was towing gliders, Did 5 take off's and landings and was towing solo. Love tailwheel aircraft. Have even 3 pointed a DC3 to the surprise of the PIC, did it before he even realized what I was doing. Softest landing in a 3 that I ever had.
Centerline is where the professionals live! Love it!
Yes. I hear Doug's voice saying that in my head at times when I taxi.
- Martin
Love it, now that I sold the bonanza and got a cub, this is just what I needed. Thanks Martin!!!
Thanks, Benji - enjoy the Cub!
- Martin
I started flying gliders at 14 years, moved to motor gliders and finally powered planes. My father had a tailwheel plane prior to me getting the PPL A license. I flew her a lot from the right seat, a lot of tail wheel TMG‘s too. When I did training for PPL I thought that my experience on gliders (and TMG’s of course) helped a lot to handle planes correctly quite fast. It even made landings with tricycle gear planes more easy, get them down more smoothly and gentle. It also helped me keeping an extra eye on speed, touching down just at the right velocity. Fun fact: as my home airfield was a bit of a
bumpy grass strip, take off‘s and landings with one certain kind of motor glider could result into several jumps. It was essential to have the right speed. Great training for sure. Your video is a very good compilation how to fly tail wheelers, you did very well. Doug is a great instructor, both in theoretical and practical teaching. He made it very easy to understand the different aspects and different procedures when flying tail wheel airplanes. Thank you for posting this great content!
Thank you for the detailed feedback. You are right - what we learn in gliders and tailwheel airplanes certainly helps fly tricycle gear airplanes as well with more finesse.
- Martin
Greatest video I've seen, the analytical aspect makes it come together
Thank you!
- Martin
Danke fuer the videos on tailwheel training. I took my first hour of towards a tailwheel endorsement today and it was both fun and challenging. It definitely helps you develop skills between the art of flying and command of the airplane. Also, Mr. Rozendaal was the DPE for my private pilot certificate. I'll never forget that day. He was a great DPE.
Good luck with finishing the tailwheel endorsement, Christopher, and glad to hear you got to meet Doug in person for your checkride.
- Martin
That was a treat! You found a CFI worth his weight in gold. Thanks for sharing.
I remember my old instructor saying to me when I bounced a landing "Don't sit there as a passanger, do something before we arrive at the seen of a crash". The norm with the Chipmunk was to apply power and rest ot go around, if you just left it, it got bad fairly fast.
Doug is a great instructor. Nice job yourself, Martin. 👍
Thanks, Tom.
- Martin
Great channel, I like that you are sincere and don't try to act like a youtube persona. A lot of aviation channels are packed with stupidity or people pretending they are experts but yours is very real. I really enjoyed Martin's dry style of instruction also, seems like the kind of bloke I could have a beer with. So, from one glider pilot to another, Hals und Beinbruch!
I'll be ready for that beer! 😁🍺
- Martin
Hey Martin. I watch these two videos when you first released them, but have just now started my tail wheel training. It is a ton of fun and proving to be quite an education. Thanks for the great content!
Glad they help, and good luck for flying tailwheels! 👍
- Martin
Great job! I got my tailwheel endorsement a few years ago, bought aJ3 Cub two years ago, and tailwheel is all I fly now. It is the most fun. By far.
I could see a tailwheel airplane in my future as well at some point.
- Martin
Nice video. It's about time that someone mentioned that adverse yaw is a good thing. It's one of the most important things I teach for tailwheel endorsements, especially when your rudder effectiveness diminishes when lowering the tail after a wheel landing (or, like my Cessna 195 that is marginal in low speed rudder authority to begin with)
Absolutely, Ben!
- Martin
happy i found your channel! a real pro cool in his way of telling how simple it is...!
Have two more tailwheel lessons left. This video helped a lot, especially understanding the coins landing
Glad we could help!
- Martin
Awesome instructor. Asks questions that keep you thinking as you learn. So many people shut off their minds when learning something new and seem to forget what they already knew instead of building on those previous skills.
Excellent video! Start my tailwheel endorsement in a couple of weeks!
Best of luck for your tailwheel training and endorsement, Rachel.
- Martin
So much fun!! Loved it!!
This is amazing. A great explainer training with a great explainer.
Great lesson, Martin! Watching this definitely put a tailwheel endorsement on my must-do list. Thanks again for sharing.
Go for it, Andy!
- Martin
Thanks much for sharing this Martin, and very nice job!! I would listen to Doug's voice of experience at any chance I got!! I've shared "the drill" many, many times! Looking forward to the next one. 8) --gary
Thank you very much!
- Martin
great 2 part videos
Thank you, Lenny.
- Martin
BRB gonna watch this one again.
Great video
Thank you, Robert!
- Martin
This was really helpful. Doug is a master, and I am sure that you are one as well, now! Great first tail dragger lesson.
Thanks, Gonzalo. Yes, Doug is a master - no question!
- Martin
Sign me up for transition training Doug! Excellent video. I found myself following along with an imaginary stick and rudder pedals.
Great vid as usual
Thanks, Paul.
- Martin
Great videos! I learned what I was looking for.
Great explanation, good progress, congratulations
This is a great series & he is a good instructor
You did very well. Pretty intense training and a good instructor. Look forward to more of these vids.
This was so fascinating. I was chair flying along with you.
Thanks, David.
- Martin
Wish i could get my tailwheel training from this instructor .
Nice video again!
Thanks, Michael!
- Martin
Excellent video, keep them coming
Outstanding sir
Another great video Martin. Thanks. Your CFI is awesome. Hope you continue to post all of your tailwheel training.
I'm a TW instructor. This is instructing the way it should be done. excellent work! Most pilots today don't really know how to use the rudder. Tailwheel training fixes that. Your coordination will be better, cross wind landings are a snap and you'll be much better at stick and rudder skills. nice job!
Thanks, Robert. I agree, the rudder is lost on many pilots today. Something I miss from my days of teaching in gliders is how impactful the demonstration of adverse yaw is, thanks to the glider's wingspan and the long arm for the forces in play. Try doing that in a Cirrus, and it's hard to even see what I'm talking about.
Regards,
Martin
Awesome video! Great trining and the flight instructor was so confident and calm, it really transmitted control over the entire flight ! Great content to share ! Saludos from Chile !
Another great video! Thanks Martin. Keep them coming with updates on your tail wheel training.
Really easy rule for ALL landings, esp. Xwind is;
Maintain AILERONS PROPORTIONALY & OPPOSITE the needed rudder.
NOTE that this is counter intuitive to recovering car from skidding turns. Car, we turn wheel INTO the skid. Plane the wheel or stick is opposite the swerve, and the adverse yaw created will assist the rudder with direction control.
This works because rudder being vertical and small, easily stalls out as relative wind moves to the xwind component as plane slows. HOWEVER: AILERONS being 2 to 4 times the surface area of the wee rudder AND horizontal to the relative wind, continues to provide ADVERSE YAW to assist the rudder & tw stearing, even as plane slows to taxii speed.
Thanks Martin for bringing back some fond memories. 3 years ago, I bought a Cessna 140a just for me and my son to get our tail wheel endorsements. Lots of fun!
What a fun and fascinating video featuring the diff between these types of planes. I need to create a macro to keep saying well done Martin.
Another great video Martin. Really appreciated all of Doug's constructive teaching comments! Best regards, Christian
Thanks for sharing this! On my way this morning to first tail wheel session. Already thinking about the proper mindset. Thx again Martin!
Well, THAT'S what I call timely! How did your first lesson go?
- Martin
I enjoy the educational aspect of your videos. A great review! Look forward to the next!
Thank you, Tim.
- Martin
Great info for me at this point in my tailwheel training. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Aaron, and good luck for completing your tailwheel training and endorsement.
- Martin
I really loved the adverse yaw demo in this one. There's a large percentage of pilots that haven't experienced that or just don't understand it.
Great video, Martin. You and Doug might be the next John and Martha. :)
Which begs the question: which one of us is Doug vs. Martha? (Please don't answer that. 😁)
- Martin
That was hilarious, watching you trying to hold center, (knowing that you're such a good pilot in your Bonanza). It reminded me of my initial flight training, landings, etc. Great Video. Excellent Instructor. Thanks!
It sure is different from the Bonanza. Of course, the beautiful thing is everything I learn here applies to the Bonanza nonetheless.
- Martin
I have almost 400 hrs in tail wheels and at the end of the video during the instructors de-brief I had a light bulb go off in my head about adverse yaw!!! I understand now how lowering the wing on the windward side during a crosswind landings will helps in other ways than just keeping the wind from getting under the wing and lifting the plane up. I now understand that using aileron into the the wind will help to swing the nose of the plane into the wind using adverse yaw in your favor. Outstanding.
I love when I can help trigger that light bulb moment in people, Jimmie. You got it exactly right, and for some strange reason this is a part of deflecting the aileron on take-off and landing which is rarely taught. "Stick to the ditch" is how Doug called it, opposite of what you would do in a car and thus not intuitive to do unless you really think about it, like you have. 👏
Best,
Martin
@@martinpauly I would love to fly with Doug for several days. He is by far one of the best , if not THE best tail wheel instructor I have ever seen .
And thank you for producing such an informative video. Great and useful information!
@@jimmiemiles2901 Doug is fantastic, Jimmie. Extremely knowledgable, and also very willing to share what he has learned with the pilot community. When Doug speaks, I listen carefully, and I always learn something.
Excellent video. Reminds me of doing my tail wheel training in a Citabria 7eca almost 30 years ago. Like float flying the most fun you can have while being the most proficient. 👍👍
Martin: you have a really good CFI.... hang on to that guy!!
I agree!
- Martin
I really loved both #1&2 of these taildragger videos!! I learned a lot from them. Thanks for sharing them!!
You are welcome, Michael - glad you found them helpful.
- Martin
Great video! Thanks Martin.
Thank you, Jeff.
- Martin
Awesome pair of videos! Thank you for documenting this and thanks to Doug for being an awesome teacher.
Glad you found them useful!
- Martin
Absolute excellent training material here! Thank you for taking the time to shoot these videos!!
You are very welcome!
- Martin
Hey Martin. Great work with Doug. I currently teach tail wheel but was looking around to see how others do it and I appreciate you showing us your training. Doug had a lot to offer and you had obviously got some preparation in beforehand (as any good student should). Great stuff.
Nice video Martin and it was very good to see Doug’s instruction and guidance.
Thanks, AJ
- Martin
What a great instructor!!!
Agree 100%!
- Martin
excellent series, Martin. Thanks for posting
Thank you, Mike.
- Martin
GREAT instructor
I agree 100%
- Martin
Awesome content!
I appreciate it, Andrew!
- Martin
M…you were great and nice job on all the edits. Great learning. Thank you
Thank you, Ben.
- Martin
Nice job Martin. You did very good but were honest about what you need to improve on. You will have it pretty well after a few more sessions. I didn't know you had glider time before. That's cool. Thanks for letting us watch as you learn something new.
What a great video! What a great instructor!!
Thank you - and I agree, Doug is a fantastic instructor.
- Martin
Excellent information presented in an entertaining, easy to watch format. Well done!
Thank you, Curt!
- Martin
Great video for me. Just started getting my PPL in a Citabria. Great information and camera work. Instructor is very clear on his instruction.
Thanks, Don, and good luck for your flight training and checkride!
- Martin
Great video, Martin, thanks for showing us your experience. I did my 3rd tail wheel training flight today in an RV8. I have a hard time not rounding out too high, as well as with the gyroscopic precession as the tail lowers on the roll out, but every flight is better!
Great instructor and calm demeanor. Well done Martin
Thanks, Bob. Yes, Doug is a great instructor - I have learned a lot from him.
- Martin
Wish my instructor was this though! Great lesson!
Wonderful explanations! Some of the best instruction I have seen or experienced. 👍👍👍😁
Glad you found it helpful, Bob.
- Martin
Excellent video, martin, and a great follow up to the ground school one. It helps that you also had a terrific instructor. I can't wait for the follow up videos. Good luck and thanks for posting
Thank you, Lorenzo.
- Martin
Very nice instruction.
Thanks, Larry.
- Martin
Wonderful lesson experience for all of us! Good Job!
Thank you!
- Martin
Thats great! I didnt quite get my TW rating, I had abou 9.5 hrs with a great CFI at an "away field". He had a Piper J5-A which is a tandem plane as well, but can be solo'd from the front. It had a C-75 engine do it had an electrical system, starter, radio, transponder. It had the bungee landing gear so it kind of made a racket landing. I was doing okay but, work, weather, etc., kind of hampered me. Its great fun tho!
Great job. Hope you post all the way to endorsement!
Thanks for taking us along with you in your traildragger journey, Martin! I already thought it would be harder to learn than tri-cycle. This gives great insights. Really appreciate all of Doug's explanations edited in too. What's it like to have the throttle on the left in this typical aircraft, or is it already an advantage and normal for you, as you're as a CFI already used to right seat flying? Happy landings from Die Niederlände!
Awesome, I am taking extensive notes for when I finally go fly.
I did get my certification and flew 161 hours last year with lots of cross counties. Just came back to this video and it is still a great resource!
I have a sister that lives close to the Mason City airport. Enjoy your videos.
Doug is is so calm. He is great teacher. Watch part one just talking he teaches
I hope you have more tail wheel videos with Doug in the very near future. I want to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and safe and HEALTHY New Year.
Thank you, Jimmie. Merry Christmas to you as well!
- Martin
Thank you , need this for my new rv7
21:27
Enjoy flying that RV-7!
- Martin
Love these tailwheel videos! I start tailwheel training in a Citabria soon here in Minnesota!
Awesome - good luck and enjoy, Jason!
- Martin
Realy nice video. Greets from bavaria
Vielen Dank, Klaus!
Herzliche Grüsse aus Iowa.
- Martin
he.s nice: it.s not crowded....it.s where the professionals live! 🤣👍
Wow great video! I loved the forward facing camera so the viewer can get the sight picture with you .
Actually the forward facing camera was too high, because the nose blocks forward visibility in the 3 pt attitude.
I like the engine sound - sounds like a Ferguson TEA : )
Just like part 1 a fantastic video. Feel like I learned a lot. Only difference is in my airplane, an acro sport 2, I have to come in a lot higher because the drag of an open cockpit biplane will put me short of the field if the fan up front quits providing my cooling. (-: I wish I would have discovered this video when I started my endorsement.
....reliving my tailwheel training. Good reminders and a few new pointers. I never held aileron to take advantage of adverse yaw in a crosswind, but always did as needed to keep the upwind wing from being lifted. The ailerons are doing double duty for me without my thinking about that aspect.
I’m sure I would have puked sooner!!!!!! Great video!!!
Currently working on my tailwheel endorsement, it has certainly made crosswind landings in a tricycle gear easier.
I can see that!
