    You're getting better and better every video. You have a great instructor.

    Seems like a great instructor. Clear, direct and focused on the things that will keep you alive. Not brutal but not sugar coating. That is one of the toughest things, finding an instructor that isn't going to milk you for time and money. Some are just building hours and could give a damn about your training. My impression is head for the old fellas.

    One of the best tailwheel video's I've come across. Outstanding instructor!

    REALLY good job in this video. Camera perfectly placed, good audio, good instructor, good editing, and no endless minutes just flying around.

    Great video! reminded me of my early days. The memory of this flight will never be forgotten. My favorite memories are of that little J3 Cub and a grass field. I'm a long way from there now. Seeing this, was like a Hot cup of cocoa on a cold winter day.
    Cheers

    I agree, instructors make the experience better when the 'confidence' is in the voice. Nice!

      +Anson A He's as good as they get. He is recommended by the local EAA in Columbia for taildragger. He also does private and instrument. And seaplane.

    Thanks for the great, no-bull video on the important stuff. We are supposed to learn from the mistakes of others. I had just gotten my tailwheeI endorsement and was comfortable with the Cessna 120. Right after the endorsement ink was dry, I unconsciously tapped the left toe brake holding centerline during roll-out after a greaser 3 point. Well it started into a ground loop faster than I could blink. By the time I kicked enough rt rudder to straighten out, I was off the runway and headed towards some buildings. At that point I'd had enough of the ride and stomped both brakes. I only wish someone would've told me this is how you get a plane to flip on its back. I nosed-over and was upside down in about 3 seconds. Moral of the story. Keep your frikkin toes off the brake pedals when you're pushing rudder. In retrospect, the buildings I was headed for were 1000 feet away and if I'd of just relaxed I could have rolled to stop.
    I like how your CFI says "dive that approach glide all the way into round-out low". It's also a good idea to decide on type of landing before you touchdown. 3pt is good but in a stiff crosswind I'll use a wheel landing for better rudder authority. (like your high speed tax) great practice btw. Don't forget aileron and P-factor .
    You are probably an ATP now. Keep practicing and stay off the brakes. This includes during take off roll. Sounds simple..... ✈

    Great video on touch and goes in taildragger. Like others said, the instructor sounds great at explaining things and determining what you are doing wrong and how to correct it.

    I flew this bird just last Friday. I hand't flown in over 20 months. You should have seen what my landings looked like, and I'm a flight instructor. Have fun man.

  • @jerryab46

    Unless in a high performance aircraft, I like to use more of the runway, turn shorter base so I can always make the runway in the event of an engine failure. You own the runway, so don't be afraid of using it all if necessary for roll out. It's a lot better than shooting for the numbers, engine quits, you don't make it to the runway! Great little airplane to practice and have fun.

    Would love to fly an old Air-Knocker again, who needs trainer wheels when you can do full-stall landings. Thanks for the video.

    • @jeffcoaj

    16:25 Is this taxi really at 45 MPH? Not a taildrager pilot here.

  • @johndonaldson5126
    @johndonaldson5126 3 года назад

    For a soft field takeoff why force the wheels back to the ground after they pop?

    • @jeffcoaj
      @jeffcoaj  3 года назад

      good question - lower the nose as soon as you pop off to increase airspeed. Have to stay low to remain in ground effect. Lower the better (without actually wheeling on the runway).

    So I'm training shortly in a Champ. I am also planning to film with a GoPro and the audio cable. Do you have any specific settings you like to use when filming like this?

    • @jeffcoaj
      @jeffcoaj  8 лет назад +1

      +Ryan Saranich Not really because the output aux on the "com" system directly feeds into the input of the gopro.
      It's only as good as the com system. I use high video settings all the way. I heard you could use the spot setting if the window scenery washes white and you cant see outside, if focused on instruments. Ive never had that problem though so I am stock out of the box all the way. cant wait to see your footage.

    • @RyanSaranich

    so to be a sport pilot using a drivers license, when they ask if you need a medical, do you just say, "no, i have a drivers license, but i need a student pilot certificate" ?

    • @jeffcoaj
      @jeffcoaj  9 лет назад

      +Antonio Talavera yep. to solo you need a student pilot certificate. to get a sport pilot cert you only need a drivers license at a minimum.

    • @TheGoomba102IsOnYouTube
      @TheGoomba102IsOnYouTube 9 лет назад

      +jeffcoaj ok cool. thanks. so when i go just bring my drivers license and say, "heres my drivers license (in place of a medical) i need a student license?

    After flying the Champ recently, its pretty hard to get a nice smooth landing. See my video, I dont have comm audio but you can hear my landings.

  • @PatrioticBiker

    Question how much was your sport liscense. Also could you build on top of those hours towards private pilot or is it separate
    Thank you

    • @jeffcoaj
      @jeffcoaj  8 лет назад

      +PatrioticPitBiker It took me about 18 hours dual, 5 hours solo = 3200 +600(checkride day) = 3800. The hours count toward Private. But you have to learn additional skills like night flying, electronic stuff like VOR location, so, some additional dual time would be needed. I think the private written test would also be required? Then the private checkride.

    NICE VIDEO. ALL FOR CHECK RIDES. THREE POINT LANDINGS , PRECISION APPROACHES AND THE LIKE. BUT IN REAL LIFE IT'S DIFFERENT: YOU CAN MAKE SLOW FLIGHT APPS, LAND ON MAINS, FULL OR LESS FLAPS, WHATEVER... USED TO PILOT A RUSSIAN AN2 AND, BELIEVE ME, ITS SAFER TO LAND ON MAINS ONLY, AND THAT PLANE DOES CERTAINLY SET THE TAIL WHEEL FIXED AND LONGITUDINALLY ALIGNED. NO GROUND LOOPS AT ALL. WELL LOOK AT ACROBATIC PILOTS LANDING. THEY ALWAYS DO MAIN GEAR ONLY LANDINGS. ON THE CONTRARY, STALL AND SHORT TAKEOFF COMPETITORS LAND ON TAIL FIRST AND TAKE OFF ON TAIL FULLY STRUGGLING WITH GROUND. ARE THOSE THINGS WRONG WRONG WW MANUEVERS? ABSOLUTELY NO. AS LONG AS YOU KNOW YOUR POSSIBILITIES AND THOSE OF THE MACHINE. BUT WHEN THE "CHECKER" COMES WITH A PRECISSION APROACH LANDING REQUEST::::: DO IT OR YOU LOSE.
