Great video! I bought this aircraft in 2002 and did the restoration over the next few years. Sold her to the next owner in 2015. Best light-twin I ever flew or owned! My wife and I had dinner with Bob Hoover at the Reno Air Races in 2009 when he signed the inspection panel for us. Enjoy!

@@HugAviation Thanks so much! We truly enjoy watching you use and appreciate all the TLC that went into N799CE. In case you didn't know, 799 stands for the year our aviation law firm was formed, and "CE" stands for Coats & Evans, P.C. We now operate an Aerostar 700P, N702PG, which stands for when my wife Penny and I got married in 2002. I wrote a comprehensive article on N799CE called "The Restoration of Charlie Echo" which is still available on our website if you are interested. I have tons of information on her and would be happy to share if you like. We just recently mounted the original instrument panels in our garage as aviation decorations, including her original eyebrow panel filled with remote radios, and a "coffee-grinder" ADF! Take care!

Love those Luscombs. I remember my dad buying a 1946 Luscumb in 1967 for $700, he couldn't come up with an extra $900 for a Piper Cub.

Great video! I always wish I could have flown my dad. Just one thing. You're flying a Cutlass not a Skyhawk. Embrace your inner swashbuckler! The Cutlass is my favorite single engine Cessna!

Awesome! Your 500S is top notch. Just two comments, if I may: Why did you perform a take off from the brakes? Runway was long enough to make a rolling, much better for the aircraft and powerplants. During the approach, why not select at first approach flaps, then reduce speed, and then L G down? Sounds a little bit weird, to select gear down and then approach flaps. Thanks in advance.

Back in 1958 I met a flight instructor who owned a polished aluminum Luscombe 8A in which I learned to fly. We both loved that little plane. He was old when I was 18 and I always kidded about his knowing Wilbur and Orville .

Back in the 1970s I had a 1941 8D with a fuel injected C75 . Same dash as in your 8C. However, I'm a bit surprised to see that yours has the rear side windows like an 8E. Mine didn't and it was a later model. So I'm trying to figure that one out. Maybe an option? Gorgeous 8C by the way and I believe the 8C is the rarest of them all. I still miss my old 8D and envy you.
@HugAviation3 ай бұрын
You’re correct about the rear windows not originally being on the 8C. Those rear side windows were added onto the aircraft.

Yes! Turning the fuel caps backward WILL drain the fuel. A member of our flying club destroyed our Luscombe that way. After re-fueling and one short flight, the engine quit on takeoff the next flight. On touchdown in a plowed field the plane flipped onto its back and was totaled. They are great airplanes!
