Samson Mite Verner 9S Startup and Flyby with Steve Wolf

[@umami0247]

The nicest little biplane I've seen. I bet this is a blast to fly. Thanks for showing it off.

[@mustangsandwich]

Got to chat with Steve years ago about aerobatic aircraft design. He's brilliant.

[@whotknots]

That Samson is one sweet looking machine! A joy to behold.

[@paulschmidtmodels]

Thinking I saw this aircraft with him in The Dalles Airport in Washington back around 83 or 84. Superb pilot, and aircraft! Thanks for posting!

[@waiex1]

Thank you Sam and Steve, for showing off the starting procedures of the incredible Verner 9S on Steve's beautiful Samson MIte! I never tire of watching this aircraft and engine combination fly. Keep 'em coming.

WOW my man parts go nuts looking at this Bird. Steve she's over the top breath taking!

[@Conn653]

Nice view of a C-140 passing by at the end of the clip :-)

[@shanethepain2009]

Sweet , cant wait to see his P47 when it is complete and flying

[@alianjohnson6035]

[@1lapdown]

Steve is a real life wizard!

[@JoeBob461]

A beautiful airplane. And such classic power. Close your eyes and it sounds like the golden age of flight.

[@tgmccoy1556]

Hi Steve. I remember propping the big Sampson at Medford Oregon airshow back in '91 . When I flew for Butler.

[@jonesbugattis]

She looks and sounds fantastic!

[@tonydeaton1967]

Beautiful little airplane!

[@docrw]

Did some airshows with Steve in the 80's great guy and pilot

[@timothymeadows4242]

Great job, one of the most beautiful PITS I have ever seen!

[@scootypuffjr.]

Now that sounds like a proper airplane.

[@rickey5353]

What a beautiful little airplane.

[@robertyoung8289]

Still enjoying the heck out of this video!

[@tomspreng7886]

How far does your memory go back? Dewils 1970, Tom Spreng? We flew in your Aronica Champ and you did an inverted ribbon cut with the original Samson.

[@P61guy61]

Awesome airplane and a great pilot. Thank you for posting.

[@adzbasslines268]

It's always pleasing to see this aircraft! I'd love to put a Verner on a small biplane!

[@JDK73772]

Simply breathtaking, That cessna needs a Verner as well

[@HobbyLadan]

That’s a really good looking airplane! Look’s like a golden age racer. What type is it and can you tell more about it?

[@noclu4u384]

Had 450 Pratt N Whitney in my steerman . Used it for crop dusting . Not enough power so i got an ag-cat with a 750 Pratt-N-Whitney . worked great for spraying cotton . Ended up getting an Ag-Wagon . Lots of people would ask whats that little prop on the bottom . Fan driven insecticide pump. Lol .BTW . Do your neighbors love you .

[@NicksStuff]

Does the gravity fed oil tank still allow it to fly inverted?

[@edgardojagr216]

What a beautiful plane

[@ele4853]

Great looking aircraft and craftsmanship. Awesome job sir! Steve, how many hours you have on this Verner 9S? Have you had any issue with the engine? Thanks in advance.

[@Xsses]

I'm not a specialist, but did he just took off from his backyard?

[@mikemccardle5153]

That's a beautiful plane

[@vernerradialkitfox4083]

What prop are you running there Steve? Do you know how much ground clearance you have with the tail up? PS, I love your plane.

[@teretz571]

lovely you got your own stearman there absolutely beautiful

[@kylanlarsen6752]

Is it possible to route the oil lines on the back side of the engine? I think it would look a bit better that way. Awesome engine though!

[@perttimetsanheimo606]

Has anybody else built one? It is just one of the coolest airplanes in existence.

[@Iflyagrasshopper]

That’s a beautiful airplane!

[@kiwi6444]

I am absolutely astounded at how many tailwheel pilots dont hold the stick back when they taxi, stick back when taxi and tailwheel straight when stationary. Airmanship is a dying art.

[@clayjones1933]

What is making it howl? Is it the geometry of the cowl?

[@donvaledon1]

Really a Nice Airplane!

[@walterbenson5275]

Thank you 🙏 !!!

[@Hyprmtr]

I thought for sure this was one of Bill Hempel's planes.

[@robertwalsh5461]

Nice Bipe!

[@duschiavon]

🤣🤣 I played the video bc I thought it was an RC plane 🤣🤣

[@5xls]

Cool engine. VW cylinders and Honda heads. I bet a 7 cylinder would be awesome on a Kitfox. Beautiful C-140 at the end too.

[@josesbox9555]

That thing gets after it

[@barrettpadilla1243]

Needs a extra seat with controls to put me in check. With my wife .can't put Har on a motorcycle but I know I can put Har on this machine.

[@Eigil_Skovgaard]

A really beautiful - egoist - biplane ;O)

[@electoplater]

its not grafity fed

[@c.morees9698]

Nice plane: just need a runway of 50 meters to take off!!!!

[@autonomousindividual7780]

If only I could meet the 3 people that thumbed this down. I'd be fascinated to know what they don't like.
