PUSHING THE LIMITS of the 180 SKYWAGON!

[@mjbirdsong21]

I've seen this guy on STOL comps. Love his plane! Thanks for the front seat experience!

[@dubwars]

Props to you SteveO for taking your platform to showcase another pilot!

[@WarrenGAviation]

Not the first time he’s done it for me, and he’s done it for many others… SteveO is a legend.

[@toddwolfe]

This was like a STOL Master Class. Tons of great tips, techniques, and strategies. Thanks!

[@steveo1kinevo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@gtr1952]

Very nice airplane and great flying!! Love seeing the carbon fiber "bump hat" too!! I've always been an advocate for helmets. Back in the early 70's I crashed hard racing superbike's and I still have a Bell Star helmet that saved my life!! I did break my back, but almost everything else is 'fixable' but your noggin!! LOL Yes, I'm paying the price now at 72, can't do the things I used to do and live with a lot of back pain. There was a second hard crash involved with that too. Still here, still smiling! 8) Peace --gary

[@craig7350]

What a beautiful 180. To see it perform like that against purpose built stol aircraft is.. unreal.

[@35057]

Man I really love the polished finish on this airplane. Nostalgic and clean. Really nice. 😎

Guessing rossi fan got 46 stickers on fish tank n car appreciate you sharing your moment with us

Came here with the same thought, definitely a VR46 fan.

You can't blame a guy for following the GOAT VR46 💛

@@paulfreeman5756thanks for the kind words… although nowhere close to as legendary as Rossi 🤙🏻 keep well bud

[@dade8881]

Great video by an enthusiastic and talented pilot. Well done! Will be looking forward to seeing your content!

[@Solo6R]

I love the Rossi swag, even if I'm more of a FQ20 fan, can't forget the legend Rossi.

[@petertarantelli]

That was cool being in the plane and hearing Warren talk through the process, like dumping the flaps just as you rotate. Neat experience!

[@bradok3695]

That was Awesome! It's amazing what you put the plane through to keep it flying and land it at the right time. Thank you, Steveo, and thank you, Warren, for letting us ride along!

[@WarrenGAviation]

You’re very welcome

[@lindalaw8368]

So much fun to watch! Love these entertaining yet safe and responsible flying videos!❤🎉

[@johndoran3274]

I’m betting Cletus is wishing he waited to do this before he put the floats on his Carbon Cub. Thanks for sharing Steve!

[@hamiltontodd8579]

That was awesome flying with Warren! Love the scenes of the night flights!

[@madisonromero3529]

Thanks for sharing this Stevo and Warren. Makes me want to go do traffic patterns.

[@skyepilotte11]

Thx Stevo and Warren...that's a beautiful polished i80. Great walk thru on the stol comp

[@billvickers1367]

Thanks!

[@PaulGarthAviation]

Time flies. I remember that surge as if it was recently. Great flying.

[@johnrobertson3320]

Great Video, thanks Warren and Stevofor showing us a different side of aviation.

[@WarrenGAviation]

Thanks for watching

[@buzzl.8637]

Great video loved it . The 180 is my favorite cessna single I agree with Waren 109%. I ve flown both the 185 and 180

[@BasedF-15Pilot]

Warren has a nice aircraft, very spartan. I've never flown as a civilian, but I have had the opportunity to fly into several airshows for static or some limited demo. When I saw the helmet my first thought was 'roll rate?' but I imagine with the STOL competitions being more popular these days and regulated, the helmet is probably mandatory to participate, and a good idea I suppose when the competition goal is to squeeze every ounce of lift out of the surfaces on take off and land.

[@mr.e0311]

That is a sharp ship anyway! I like that look and that helmet is tops!

[@patrickheavirland3599]

Good morning from Minnesota! Fun episode!

[@Mrbaileyrox122]

We were watching in the crowd. That 180 was my favorite aircraft by far. Beautiful. Also, nice to meet you Stevo!

[@WarrenGAviation]

Thanks for the support. The crowd was awesome

[@stevea9604]

SteveO…Amazing videography continues to grow and adding more & more…You are an amazing producer of incredible content 👍🏻🤩🌞😎

[@MrMwurm]

That was truly awesome, thanks a happy for sharing that. It's also something i doubt I'd EVER get to be that close to it all

[@michaelburbank2276]

Keep pushing like that and boom!

[@tedspradley]

8:39 Looks like STOL would be a perfect application for Electric Aircraft. Looking forward to an interesting future!

My avatar is moi at twelve years old, picture taken by I'm sure my nervous father, just before I soloed that stearman. On my thirteenth birthday, my father took us out to our cessna 185 skywagon and after some routine takeoffs and landings, that we had already done a hundred times, he got out and told me it's yours, go fly, first time to solo that 185 taildragger. I was shocked, that was his baby, I was nervous, but ready, so for the next 30 minutes, it was perhaps the most thrilling thing that could ever happen to a thirteen year old kid. That was in Israel. Even though it was an uncontrolled improved rock strip, when I got airborne, the local atc, came on and congratulated me, that was amazing and I owe it all to my father. Most of the time, there was only communication when necessary, as they knew my father, knew the plane, the only American Reg. aircraft in Israel at the time, but just the same they kept eyes on us, as where this airport was, Israel was only 6 miles wide. There were hawk missile batteries along that strip, so they knew the comings and goings of everyone. Back then I was infatuated with ww1 aircraft, hence the interest in the stearman. After I landed the 185 after soloing, my father got in, we took the plane up into the cloud cover and he gave me permission to act as though I was flying a slow but neat fighter, diving, climbing into the clouds, doing rolls , lazy 8's anything I felt like. What a birthday present and I believe my father knew the significance of it. With all of the aircraft since then, none has risen to the romance of those two solos. Sorry for the story, that 185 was such a sweet aircraft, we took it all over the eastern Med, never an ounce of trouble, my father was also an A&P, knew his stuff.

[@rael5469]

[@tomnorman2668]

[@mikebonnett7730]

I worked for a crop dusting company back in the early 80’s for three summers and would have stayed if it was a full time job with benefits. I mixed the chemicals and put them and supplied fuel for the planes and helicopters and at the end of one season once we were done spraying the potato fields with sprout stop and dinitro and crop oil too kill the vines at one of the remote air strips the mechanic took the company’s super cub airplane too go and drain the water tank for the winter and bring back the pump used too pump the water but anyway it was a day with a strong wind and a cool fall day so he had plenty of lift and he throttled up and did his magneto tests and such and he released the brakes and in the length of the plane he was airborne and went right over the top of the windsock which was on top of a pole not over 100’ in front of him it was wild too see that and I am still kicking myself in the butt for not being able too take the company up on their offer to all employees that for a thousand dollars that they would deduct so much a week from our paycheck they would teach us to fly and provide a plane and fuel required to get our private pilot’s license and I didn’t do it

i went on thursday the day it got rained out and out of all the planes this was one of the only ones that stood out to me. all the way out in a field far away from the main show. a shame.

[@bertkilborne6464]

COOL PLANE ! Does the prop draft cause the tail to lift immediately as soon as he gives it power ?

[@WarrenGAviation]

I’m pushing forward on the yoke to push the tail up. This allows the plane to accelerate with the wing in a neutral attitude, thereby lowering the drag.

[@uTube486]

LOTOT... Fly straight ahead.

I'll ask. What is the door knob above throttle quadrant used for.

[@WarrenGAviation]

That’s where I mount my iPad on cross country flights.

[@terryadams8012]

Looks like a RAM mount for a GPS.

[@echo6echo419]

That might be the "oh s%$t" handle

[@KN4PHS]

It looks like a residential door knob with the interior lock. From a 7 inch phone display.

[@socalfun64]

So Steve, saw the 940 is being sold? Are you getting another new plane to fly or different plane to fly?

[@steveo1kinevo]

I honestly don’t have any idea what the future holds.

in the second landing, ur tail wheel touches the ground first than ur main wheels. does that harm u in anyway?

[@WarrenGAviation]

No harm no foul. In STOL they are only measuring from the main wheels. In a tricycle gear plane all measurements are from the rear tires, and in a Tailwheel everything is measured from the front.
