Fly Navy! I just got a Rans S7 and flying it around Colorado. Love it.

[@craigenraphael7398]

Please put the a&p licenses process together, there isn't much about that and for many possible EA pilots and owners will really appreciate it

[@alanluscombe8a553]

Neat Taylorcraft. My dad had one for years before he got his super cub. I fly an old luscombe 8a and a pitta special

I can sympathize with how exhausting the editing of multiple camera angles can be. Glad to see you back, Brian! Sorry I missed you at Oshkosh.

[@dmalovic]

Can't offer help with aircraft builds, but i sure can help you do multi camera angles easily with free software.

Great video. Keep documenting the build, we love this stuff ;) Great meeting you at KOSH Brian.

[@flyinwithbrian9753]

Just in case you are not aware, there is a beautiful FINISHED S-21 for sale here in So Miss. Check with Morris at South Mississippi Light Aircraft, Lucedale MS (MS22). Just completed a round trip to AK from Lucedale. Turbo Rotax power, Dynon HDX. Really nice machine!

Love the channel...Would love to see more of the Taylorcraft content. 😁 ❤

[@klw141]

Just found your channel, I am a fellow S-21 builder. I have the tail feathers done and working on the Fuselage, saving the wings for last. I would love to see your progress when you start the paint process! Also would love to here about your A&P journey, I have considered it for myself but it seems out of reach.

Glad you are back Bryan, Greetings from Hernando MS as well.

Hey Brian what you did to that Taylor craft is Awesome. I have a 46 taylorcraft in great shape iam tricken it out a bit. Q Did you have to convert from conventional to exsperimental to do your upgrades? I dont think i have to for the paint job, or the vinal interior i put in. I did put in the lower door windows . Do i have to convert to put the bigger AB tires on? And also i would like to add a bigger spinner like a piper spinner. Just wondering if you caould answer those questions? I havnt owned a conventional aircraft just light sport exsperimental So iam a bit confused at what i can do and cant.

[@flyinwithbrian9753]

Thanks for the comments. My Taylorcraft is certified - not experimental. Most of the modifications you see are STCs. Some are not STCs but have Designated Engineering Representative (DER) approval. A couple are minor enough that they just have log book entries from A&Ps. I replaced the old, mechanical style brakes with new wheels and hydraulic brakes from Grove - via DER approval. Grove's documentation allows up to an 8.50 tire. You may be able to install some Bushwheels with DER approval or possibly some supporting paperwork from AB. I wouldn't try it on the old style wheels/brakes though. Terry Bowden of Certified Aeronautical Products was instrumental in acquiring the STCs and DER approvals for many of my mods. His website is dc65stc.blogspot.com I would suggest contacting him, or at the very least talking with a local A&P regarding some of the modifications you're interested in.
