    When I listen to you talk you remind me of my first flight instructor. She was one of the best pilots I’ve ever known. That was in the early 90’s out of Angleton/Lake Jackson, TX. (KLBX) Brought back memories. Great videos. Best regards

    It’s so nice to see a host that’s not only a pilot but one that can handle a taildragger

    I'm really enjoying your flying videos. Excellent work. I've tried making a view flying videos of my own and I can appreciate how challenging it can be. Well done!

    2002, I trained in a 1973 C172 with 180 HP powerplant, constant speed prop, tuned exhaust, and 40 degrees of flaps. I swear that plane could almost hover with full flaps deployed. One did not need them all the time but it was nice to know you had them if you were too steep. Also, that engine could still perform a go around with full flaps deployed. I loved that plane. N20591.

    They gave it 40 degrees of flap for a reason! I love the flaps on older 172s, always used all of it.

    Your videos are getting more “in the moment” feeling, getting better and better. The C150 tail wheel conversions are well known, but this c172 is a rare bird and nice that you have documented it. Just curious is that shield on camera 5 to keep it from overheating from the sun?

    Thanks for the video. I believe if the tailwheel could be extended by 3-4 inches, that would bring the nose down but make more controllable like the tricycle version.

    You should be able to turn the tai wheel while it is sitting stopped with the pedals, at least a littl bit.

    The main gear is placed well forward of the C/G. This causes more weight to be placed on the empennage.

    Tail wheel springs aren't right I can see they are useless the way they are set.

    A swept tail on a taildragger makes no sense at all. On the runway, there is even less projected rudder area than what's available on the nosewheel version. Purely a styling gimmick.
