Oh how sexy 💋

for sale?

I've been flying taildraggers for decades, and that's the way to land them. I used to own a J-3, and believe that wheel landings look so most majestic.

If the cause was a momentary loss of fuel the engine would windmill and restart. There is a tremendous amount of mass inertia in a radial engine, combine that with the windmill energy of the propeller and the engine will keep turning until you slow the plane down.

You are right! I never knew and checked it out searching KZbin. Thanks Adam.

00:34 Millenium Falcon Hyperdrive Failure sound :D

Thanks for the lesson.

Any idea why all radials smoke so profusely on startup?

The Waco referred to in this video is not the city in Texas. Waco (sounds like Taco) is the airplane, a 1938 Waco EGC-8. WACO stands for Weaver Aircraft Company. Waco built biplanes in Troy, Oh from 1919 to 1947.

ROUND ENGINES- ain't nuthin' like 'em!!!!!!

Nice, nice, nice. Especially by that white/black RV 6 right behind you here.

Funny perspective in this video Jim. It appears as if you are looking out the side window during the landing

Editing.. its a wonderful thing. This was fun. Difficult but fun!

Thanks for shooting this Jim. Great stuff

Great video

Nice...our poor little J3 would not have been able to keep up.

Boys look out! The Tasmanian Devil is coming your way! Did you know that a hand crank inertia starter is where that sound came from in WB cartoons?

wow very interesting engine start way

That was awesome -thumbsup-

Nflightcam + powered by Contour with RAM mounts.

That was COOL! I do have one ? what kind of camera did ya use?

Awesome, too cute

Oh that is just classic wonderfull!!!

@MrSacrafis ---this is Angi Howard on my son's you tube account.

good job Papa!

So fun!

@o7levi I suspect the high pitched noise is the gears inside the starter colliding to use the inertia the two men generated in order to get the engine started.

I hear Patrick and Nick. Who else in the group would be so interested in a beautiful bird like that?

The starter engaging the engine.

Hi guys, after the inertia starter.. what is that high pitched noise at :35 ??

This is great video footage. If only I was this good! I went up in the Waco as well.

Installed a turbo alternator and odyssee battery - no electrical system.

Seen this vid at another location. Did you get your electrical system installed???? I would like to talk to you!!!!

Crank till the plane is shaking and prime till your sure it's flooded. Then get lucky. Color me impressed with your hand prop start!

How did you guys get this to work??? Our N3N will start by hand prop within 2 tries but yet on the inertia, we can go all day and nothing!! Is the spark advance working??

Love that sound.

Google "Helmet Camera" and shop around. I used a PV-800 DVR with sony 1" by 3" cameras. You can check out my installation at the Starduster forum at Aircraft Spruce Forums.

.....Hey guys, that was great!! Nice soundtrack to go with it, I have a Starduster II also. My question to you is where did you get the camera equipment and what kind. Would love to do the same, Thanks
