210HP Globe Swift

Just some pattern work and flying in a 1946 Globe Swift.
Towards the end of the video I took a hard right, I was on base and someone called 2mi final, I hadn't seen him or heard anything from him on the radio.

Excellent video. No music, just the airplane. Makes me miss my Swift.

Outstanding !! good job man.

No narration at all? GUMP check? How about the density altitude and rate of climb, for starters.

I've always wanted to get one of these...

Hi Mate, what is the performance like on the 210 Hp Swift? What numbers for the climb rate and cruise speed? They are a good looking machine.

[@Hurricane4x4Parts]

1200FPM, fast cruise climb about 900fpm. Cruise around 145kts @ 9gph

[@TheSubversive1]

Wow, really? That's excellent! This is one aircraft I'd love to see back in production (or as a kit) with the bigger montor.

What the heck is rattling

[@Hurricane4x4Parts]

Its the go pro camera itself... rattling against the cockpit glass. Obviously I had no audio when flying so I did not know it was contacting the pleiglass

I would have had one hell of a discussion with the other pilot when I got on the ground if he was not using his radio until on a 2 mile final. There is no reason for not using your radio if you have one. Did he not hear you making announcements on the unicom prior to him entering the pattern? I hope you were using your radio as well. Safe flying!

What's the stal speed on these?

[@Hurricane4x4Parts]

Erik Saengerhausen Probably about 50mph. Typically come over the fence about 75mph for a normal landing, 70mph for a shorter one.
