1936 Ryan ST Walkaround

[@Agwings1960]

Every now and then an aircraft builder will come out with one Aircraft that strikes all the aesthetic cords, the Ryan ST is that machine

[@sylviaoneill3308]

This plane was once owned by my Uncle Ev Cassagneres. I remember it as a child…good memories. It looks beautiful!

[@danielcarlson800]

His book "The New Ryan" stayed under my pillow for over a month!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!

[@clydecessna737]

That oil safety switch is fantastic.

[@greybeard5774]

It's hard to imagine how much time, effort and love has been put into this plane .. the outcome is just amazing! 👍👍

[@DeweyDavenport]

The aircraft is actually more impressive in person.

[@peacocksquirrel9665]

Looks fast sitting on the ground! What a beautiful airplane and restoration. Thanks for the video!

[@bgreggory]

Wow! She's so beautiful. The video was great, like being right there. Truly a labor of love.

[@HeavyMetalHorizons]

Talk about a head turner!! WOW. Thanks for the video.

[@mikeherren5604]

Thx for sharing Dewey. I always enjoy what ever you do. I miss your videos. Your ability to get these rides says a lot bout you ability n character. Thxu very much. God bless.

[@elosogonzalez8739]

On my list in Third place as The Most Beautiful Airplane Ever Built, only behind the Beechcraft Staggerwing and the Spartan Executive. Glorious airplane!!! Welcome back Dewey!!! Missed ya man.

[@kenstewart5991]

Thx for directing me to the walk around. Only 5 built, surprising. Just an awesome restoration.

[@DeweyDavenport]

See the aircraft in person is even more impressive.

[@kenstewart5991]

@DeweyDavenport To see your Travel Air in person would be even more impressive. What a wingspan! 5 people onboard with only 220hp? Ever thought of STC for 300hp jacobs? Sure runs great in the two Cessna195's I've been in.

[@abeash9529]

Glad to see you back!!

[@jackdixon4530]

Great video

[@waynedamico2095]

Great Video, Dewey! Also, it was great to see you a month ago. Loved the tour of you operation. Your bud, WayneO!!

[@barrykropelin3845]

[@waydoo_efoil]

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

What a machine! Thanks for sharing Dewey!

[@DeweyDavenport]

Thanks for watching.

[@michaelhemmingsen4430]

Very fine. My favorite bird. Working on my 2nd model at 1/4 scale. First one is a 1/6th scale…sounds like They fly the same as full size!

[@maximemireault8277]

Hey Dewey, I try and watch all your videos whenever I can. Your passion for aviation is always awesome to watch! Thanks for sharing

[@DeweyDavenport]

Thanks so much Maxime. Wish I had more time to edit and share with you all.

[@MonostripeZebra]

the metal work on the cowling and covers is really pretty... glad to see it in good shape. Happy landings.

[@danvanleeuwen1974]

Well done buddy.

[@MegaRickw]

Hey Dewey,finally spelled able,lol,looks like my champ should be delivered this week

[@jonathanstein1783]

I saw one in Santa Paula many years ago. Turned out she'd been "restored" from a few remaining bulkheads and a data plate. Still a beautiful aircraft though.

[@LightAndSportyGuy]

Wow.

[@freerangequark]

Great walk- around video Dewey. What is the plate riveted to the inside of the fuselage just aft of the throttle quadrant?

[@jhaedtler]

I always thought the Manasco Powered ST's where designated as STM?

[@BiscuitsStuckToTheWall]

Ain't she sweet! 👍

[@baselhammond3317]

I'd imagine it must great with the 150hp engine instead.

[@hadleymanmusic]

Ryan st?

[@hadleymanmusic]

Saw that fuel guage it looks full

[@chrismaley339]

This plane epitomizes "ramp appeal"! I don't know if planes are permitted to be "sexy"; if they are, this plane is just that. . .

[@DeweyDavenport]

I totally agree

[@nigel900]

Too pretty to fly… 👍🏻

[@DeweyDavenport]

I agree.
