You continue to inspire us as pilots.

Would love to see a detailed video about how you use AOA for making shortest possible landings. Thanks! Great videos!

[@BradyDearinger]

I can’t wait to fly with you one day. Come out to Crest Airpark I’m sure you know it. My mom used to manage the restaurant at Harvey in snohomish. I know you go there a lot. Thanks for all the lessons.

[@motoadveBackcountry182]

We can make it happen, e mail me [e-mail]

Whoever does your drone footage needs a raise! Wise words and good unbiased, data based comparison. Thanks for the info!

[@garydell2023]

I don't have a tailwheel endorsement myself and never saw the need but I can see where it would be useful in that they are lighter and can get into area's that I wouldn't try in a nosewheel plane. Thank you for your perspective and experience.

[@robertshaver4432]

I'd say "you're crazy" but the fact is You're damn good and are thereby able to perform these incredible feats. You guys have a Wow factor!

[@SVSky]

Beautiful flying!

[@kentwilliams4152]

GREAT drone photography!

[@littlegreenman1]

N508WL was my family airplane for about 20 years. It's a big reason why I fly. You should badge her backt o N3253A !!

[@petermathbraz]

As always, your nice videos. Here from Brazil (I’m not a pilot, just airplane lover) I hear from some that nose wheel (they call “trem de pouso triciclo” in Portuguese) seems to be easier to take off and landing that tail wheel planes ...

[@BStrambo]

Great video! As a very low time pilot who hasn't flown in 20 years....when I get back into it, it will be tricycle. Even though I want to get into backcountry exploration at some point...if conventional vs. nose gear would actually make a difference at that location, I would have no business trying to land there in either! I figure I have a lot of learning to do in a decently outfitted trike before I max out my capabilities!

[@bigorangebird7499]

Yeh, yeh, yeh. You're just trying to justify having one of each! I know the struggle! Good looking landings in the 170!

This is a marvelous piece. I will subscribe.

[@shady0079]

Very good content. Beautiful landings

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

I notice you fly with Jughead some...man you should get into the STOL contests. You would do well in the right class I think. It would be a fun challenge regardless.

[@samrubino3807]

Wow…….so skilled….so talented …….this guy is it!

[@marcsibun2058]

Larry, what are the stall speeds of your 182 after the mods? Great vids, you actually played a massive part in me buying my 182N, thank you. Keep up the great work!

[@motoadveBackcountry182]

40mph indicated, the angle of attack is high so I am guessing 50mph GPS groundspeed

[@VictoryAviation]

Anyone familiar with the pop up sight picture display on the dash? At least that’s what it looks like it might be.

[@gawebm]

Another great video. Thank you. I'm curious about prop clearance. I've literally scoured Google to find any kind of recommended prop clearance for a back county plane. The only thing ever said is "more is better". In fact the only hard number for prop clearance comes from the FAA and it has nothing to do with off airport operations. Obviously its a subjective question which no one seems to want to give any kind of hard number. Maybe I could ask you this way - what is the minimum prop clearance you would consider (for yourself) in your 182 (and for the flying you do)?

[@8literbeater]

Would it matter for a nose dragger? Anything big enough to hit the prop in any configuration, is big enough to destroy the nose gear.

[@dimitris2521]

@@8literbeater "nose dragger" is the result of getting a nose wheel to those conditions xD

[@StrGzr101]

Nose wheel stops faster. Compare the XCub with the NXCub. Difference in flight characteristics, tho. Nose wheel affects yaw rate.

[@mikercflyer7383]

Always enjoying your videos watching from Boise Idaho if you ever land in Nampa it would be cool to meet you. Are you familiar with the Missionary Bush Pilot ? Flying in Papua New Guinea.

[@motoadveBackcountry182]

Yes I am familiar , that kind of flying looks very similar to Costa Rica bush flying.

[@kirkrobertson8033]

Was curious your tires recommended and nose fork used ? I have a 182P and would like to make the conversion

I have the heavy duty 182 nose fork, and 7.00x 6 tire

Thanks for a great video, I have & fly both NW & TW and love flying both but if the wife said I had to get rid of one it would be errrrrrrrr mmmmmm ah got it it would be the wife! problem solved.

[@ronniemackinnon3237]

nice video larry,, as usual,, thank you very much.. question: i know you have electric flaps, that in mind, in short field operations. what are your thoughts on introducing flaps after you have started your roll? as opposed to having that drag from the start... might be a video... thank you.

[@motoadveBackcountry182]

With manual flaps its easy and efficient, with electric it also works but its a bit far to reach and you loos sight of the strip somehow, so I only do it in wider strips.

[@grumpybear741]

Is there a significant climb rate difference between the 182 and the 170? I would imagine the increased horsepower in the 182 would be something of an advantage.

[@motoadveBackcountry182]

Yes, although the 170 takes off shorter, the 182 has better climb rate by 300fpm or so.

[@grumpybear741]

@@motoadveBackcountry182 Obviously a big advantage in tight terrain with a high density altitude then.

[@mickeykeymoaw]

This may be a dumb question but... Could it be possible to have one aircraft with both characteristics? ie; Put a tail wheel on a Tricycle giving you a choice of landings or is the COG different? (I'm not a Pilot, obviously)

[@gilbertfranklin1537]

ting - I was wondering the same thing. If they were retractable, the only problem would be the CG, as it is further back on the tail draggers. But a sliding weight could handle that. (I'm not a pilot either)... 😏

[@mickeykeymoaw]

@@gilbertfranklin1537 I think we're onto something here Gilbert. Maybe we should contact Mike Patey from kzbin.info/door/Svdee86uThqIrloZjWwNVg

[@wazza7575]

Short answer, No. Issue is the the mains are further forward on a taildrager and further aft on a nose wheel plane.

[@mickeykeymoaw]

@@wazza7575 Of course..! Thanks.

Actually the Sportsman from Glasair can be configured for nose or tail wheel and floats. glasairaviation.com/sportsman/

[@louissanderson719]

How much fuel do you usually go out with for these short landings?

[@motoadveBackcountry182]

20 gallons or so in the 182, 15 or less on the 170

Great stuff as always. Which strip is this at 4:40?
