You greased that landing at your home field. You're used to landing in grass uphill. Take a pilot who trained to land tail dragger on level concrete and he is going to struggle with the uphill aspect of the landing. I'd say take your concrete hops with pride because you've got the uphill grass landings figured out and that can be your field of expertise.

Good verbalization of most procedures. On the first couple of landings you used a fwd slip. Did you reduce power to idle for that?

The problem is that many drop out of flight training due to the onerous training requirements to achieve certification. The solution is to require CFIs to allow never ending discovery flights. Ie, the CFI is there for safety purposes only and does not require incessant maneuvers, short field, stalls, etc training unless he is requested to do so. Right now most CFIs refuse to do so, for some reason that baffles me.

I got my sport pilot cert in 2018. Tailwheel endorsement, class B, C, D endorsements. I bought my Kitfox model IV in 2019. Flew it with a safety pilot from Minnesota to San Francisco. Have flown it solo to Oshkosh from California twice (4 day trip each way, over the sierras and wasatch) landing at the UL field, come see us at the red barn. I’m now building a series 7 supersport. It will have a 165hp 916is and MT CS prop. Once MOSAIC rules come out I’ll get my night endorsement and will probably build a Bearhawk 5. Also looking into RV-7 or VL3 for getting places. Do I care about not being instrument rated? No. I feel like the Sport Pilot cert fits more (actual, not imagined) missions than PPL. If you want to go commercial or have a family that you would like to fly a lot with PPL makes sense. I guess my long rambling comment is to say that SPL limitations are rarely limiting.

What’s your opinion on a champ or something similar for “time building” I’m a private pilot with instrument rating and working on commercial, I am an A&P for the airlines and a simple plane to work on is ideal if I run into maintenance issues…..I’m trying to find a plane on a budget solely for time building, and of course to have some fun, 2 seats seems fine, maybe an occasional small cross country or I take a friend or my daughter flying, thanks, and I appreciate the videos
@prodigalpilot Жыл бұрын
Depends. If you need to build instrument, night or multi time, clearly no. If just looking to build ANY time, sure! Any number of antique taildraggers would fit the bill. They are also the most fun way to fly, in my opinion.

The FAA issued a revised policy a couple of years back making it very simple and inexpensive to upgrade older aircraft with shoulder harnesses (just takes a logbook entry) I'd make the suggestion that you look into it. I added them to my Champ for less than $200.

Excellent video - we have a '47 L-16A/Champ and love every minute in it. It isn't free to fly but at 4.5 GPH its allowed me to fly all I want. Our last plane was a 180 HP PA-18 and the Champ when kept light with a climb prop is more akin to a PA-11 or PA-18-95 not to mention tons of room, a fraction of the cost and easier for friends to climb into. I'm amazed at how much fun it is to slip and rarely miss the Super Cub except on the shortest strips on higher DA days.
