Seems like a smoking deal on what looks like a NEW 75 year old plane.

Beetle is great but the best car ever built ever is the Merc W123 you have sat there.I have owned many even in 2024 a W123 is hard to beat.

In 1985 I had a 1960's Beetle. Bought for 500 DM. It was kind of a semi convertible. Huge fun. Sadly already many broken parts. I refused to give it away, but finally I did because I didn't have time for all the repairs. Still good memories...

Old aircraft should be in museums.

Very very nice !!!

"Aeron-a-ca" 😂 "Tandem" 😂 "1940's tail-draggers are rare" 😂. First time at an airport?

Someone in the comments on Coulson’s Facebook page said it was a blown piston

Wow lots of cool stuff in that hanger

Have owned two 2002's. Now I am resurrecting a '73 tii. These are an excellent platform to modify 😊

This is 2012 model or 2015?🧐.

Drifto….A-Ron-ca. Not a-Ron-a-ca. no big deal 😅

Twice what it should cost, but for lawyers & their ridiculous lawsuits.

I saw that plane listed for sale recently. I'm up in Casper and in the process of buying a '46 Chief up here. It has an engine upgrade, but that one in Centennial looked amazing in the ad.

What is the year and color?

Founder and inventor Vincent Bendix filed for a patent for the Bendix drive on May 2, 1914. The drive engages the starter motor with an internal combustion engine and is still used on most automobiles today. Bendix initially began his new corporation in a hotel room in Chicago in 1914 with an agreement with the struggling bicycle brake manufacturing firm, Eclipse Machine Company of Elmira, New York. Bendix granted permission to his invention which was described as "a New York device for the starting of explosive motors." This company made a low cost triple thread screw which could be used in the manufacture of other drive parts.

Hey there! I own and fly a Chief. The starter you saw is the "McDowell" starter, rare but very cool! As to your other question, no these planes don't do well at high altitudes. I've had mine up to 9500 but it was just mushing around. 5000 - 6000 would be reasonable but above 8k a takeoff would get sketchy in my opinion.

Great classic looks! But you’re definitely asking an important question of how a plane with only 65hp does with high DA.

Tandem setting is not side by side. It is either tandem or SXS.

She ABSOLUTELY IS telling you she doesn't want to sit idle in the desert!!!

Bring extra points, extra belts and extra cannister of gas, fire extinguisher, a stick to dip in your gas tank because it has no gas gauge. My 67 doesn’t. I toolbox, satellite phone for when you don’t have reception and you have broken down. Etc. etc. etc..

I bought mine one week ago here in Germany, first owner and incredible 96800 Kilometers on it 👌🏻

Many people say they could never try this sport due to a fear of heights, but this beautifully showcases just how amazing paramotoring truly is. I’m absolutely in love with everything about this incredible sport! Thank you for sharing such an inspiring glimpse into this world to encourage others.

Pretty much all 60s and 70s are prone to rusting out long before they have mechanical problems.

I have 2005 620 variant of it and I have to say it was love on the first sight..that bike is sexy af.. Im small king as well and this bike is comfy.. few times I rode It 1000 kilometers (600miles for my burger eating friends) in one day and I was still fresh.. bought it for 2000 ish $ and 17K miles on the clock so almost brand new and still 20y old... I did valve adjustments and timing belts... Mr Drifto change them pls according to user manual it is every 12k or two years...Electrical.. yes my alternator died almost instantly after buying the bike :D what I saw on the forums alternators or regulators are going bad every 20k miles... my suspect is gunk in connector between regulator and alternator so check it and clean it :)

Awesome video! If ayone is wondering how the actual lights worked, I have made a video of my personal 36" beacon... kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWXOkH2Frqiid6ssi=43XqrOfBsPnwHgYs

I think without Katalysator converter😂

They were sold at the marine dealers since not too many boats were sold during the winter. The lights were added after other snowmobile companies complained these didn't meet the same standards...

Coral Gables 🌴🇺🇸 Hehe. We had T Birds drop chaff for our Voodos at Otis . Early to mid 1960 's.Good duty with 60th FIS. 🏄

Q1 is a grass field UL RESPECT its purpose >…………not good for UL flying

Awesome video i love this truck

My 69 had a gas heater operating from the car fuel. It worked fantastic and, Karl, my German mechanic knew how to maintain it. It was really cozy warm in the vehicle during winter. Love Bug

My uncle had one and I learned to ride when I was 5 yrs old riding on the gas tank he would let me do the clutch and throttle learning take off and throttle through out of a corner till I was tall enough to ride a bike lol back in the 89 90. His was a 68 ct 175

You really need to put a seizure warning in your video!

I agree. I shuddered at the thought of owning a British car. Surprise! 3 years, fluids and valve adjustments and I'm going

Shift shaft seal is around 5 bucks and replacing it can be done without draining the gearbox oil. Whole thing will take around 5 minutes 🤫🥸

Would you want to leave BC for the US…

Did pretty much all of my training out of KLMO, don't see it featured on KZbin very often. Actually saw one of the planes I flew regularly (738HD).

Dual port is to do with the heads, not the carbs. 71 Beetles cams stock with dual port and were rated around 60 hp.

why 😢

Nice video, perfect landing. I enjoy your Mooney plane videos. Nice airplane and great avionics. Nice to have you explain the instruments. Fly into KJSY sometime. Beautiful like the Colorado Rockies. Keep the Mooney videos coming.

What a great goal! Doubtful the city has a whole lot to spend for this on a continuing basis, but should be easy to raise funds from pilots with articles in aviation mags and websites with links for info and donations, Go Fund Me, etc…. Many aviators will want to stop here to check it out. There is a lot of great and interesting history in that region.

Met a pilot of one of those. He called a ‘suck-n-blow’.

As a huge fan of the genre this story is the absolute best "walk around" video I've ever seen. glad i found it.

Cargo aircraft.

He was building and flying his Autogyro's much earlier than you think. The first film of him flying that I have seen was in a News Reel from 1959.

She needed to say goodbye to her sister before leaving Canada.

The pitfalls of buying used.

Problem not issue

That was so evil, but I love it!!!!
