Cool video Jacob! I like your choice of music! That is a pretty cool airplane. I am finishing my tailwheel training hopefully tomorrow. One more endorsement in the ole logbook!

Very good video Jacob . As soon as I started watching it, and saw that takeoff, I immediately flashed back to when I was just about your age, and my dad got me hooked on flying. He had gone into a 3-way partnership on a 1946 blue and silver Taylorcraft (N96292), which we were flying out of Ranchero Airport, in Chico CA, back in the 1960's. Back then, it was a little rinky-dink gravel runway and the approach to the runway reminded me a lot of your video, including the trees. You had to fly between two huge oak trees that were taller than you were on landing. Scared the crap out of me! That old T-Craft served all 3 partners well, enabling all of them to get their licenses', and I remember that their instructor was an old B-24 Liberator pilot back in WWII named Chess Agee. He always flew with a half-smoked, stinky old cigar hanging out of his mouth, an old WWII 50-mission crush officer's hat and a huge pair of Rayban sunglasses. He would sit there quietly with folded arms and kept swapping that cigar from side to side. If you did something wrong that he didn't like, that cigar would speed up about 3 times the speed! He told my dad one day after practicing landings, that was the only student pilot that he had ever seen that could do 5 landings in one approach. Finally, one of the partners ended the partnership when he was taxiing the T-Craft close to one of the old corregated metal hangars, intending to do a 180 and park close to the hangar. Wouldn't you know, just when that was happening, one of the old metal springs back on the tailwheel broke, locking if hard over to one side, sending the plane into an uncontrollable quick spin in the opposite direction. The right wing tip hit and went through the thin metal hangar several feet, where it proceeded to strike the big glass bubble on an older bubble glass Bell helicopter which happened to be parked right inside the wall. I mean to tell you, that helicopter pilot was pissed off after that phone call! You have to keep a close eye on those older aircraft for sure. Hey ask Gryder by the way, which AQP bucket that one would fall into ; ) Thanks again for the video and keep up the good work! Maverick

[@jamesmcdonald6047]

I’m not a pilot, don’t fly often, but that is one Beautiful Plane!!!

[@donaldmyers2891]

Probably the new version starting out from New York?

[@donaldmyers2891]

Where’s tat? I had a 47, loved it, flew all over the USA, mostly south of Iowa, east and west. Taugh by one of the best pilots in the world, Paul Hursh.

[@Maxxtanz]

I noticed you cruise faster than other luscombe videos I’ve seen. What engine and prop do you have?

[@brentdykgraaf184]

[@scotabot7826]

[@jpilot12]

Umm if I knew who you were talking about probably cause a few beach 18’s fly down here

[@davidthompson5460]

What (in ... _ was a new Luscombe in 2020?

[@enjoythecalm8743]

Nice work!

[@jhaedtler]

Luscombe, the closest thing to a Monocoupe!

[@captlarry-3525]

electric start... Pansies ! just kidding

[@dangryder3763]

If you want to see your channel grow you gotta show who you are and talk to the camera and tell us about the flight. Youre way ahead at 9 years old doing this kind of flying but we wanna hear what you got to say in your videos. C'mon man!

[@homertalk]

This man knows a lot better than you how to keep a little ity bitty KZbin channel.
