My RV8 Build
After selling my Husky, I spent two years building an RV8, and now it's ready for my next adventures. It has been a life-affirming process, and I can't stop grinning now that I've flown it for the first time!

Moldoi mountain strip with 2 Huskies - scary landing!
Переглядів 2,1 тис.7 років тому
Moldoi airstrip in the Italian Alps, not far from the Locher strip. Grass was a bit longer than expected! Fortunately, Tom did the 'first cut'. Its amazing what the Husky will tolerate if the tailwheel is nailed down to the floor!

Perranwood landing in a Husky-190 yard strip!
Переглядів 1,8 тис.8 років тому
Landing at Perranwood, Cornwall. 190 yards over a 4 foot fence at each end...and downhill to the east. Blustery wind curls over the trees if there is a hint of 'southerly' wind... 28 knots and blustery today! Husky 'Shock dawg' gear and Thomas Dietrich's SGS modification mean sticking it on the ground and not floating isn't too difficult...

  • @3withstand
    @3withstand 3 роки тому

    There appear to be no mention of the wind, and no windsock either: knowing those alpine valleys, I would expect that in the afternoon in the good season it blows quite strongly uphill, resulting in a substantial tailwind with possible development of rotors close to terrain. On the other hand, there appears to be no choice of direction, considering the slope.

    • @darrenfern
      @darrenfern 3 роки тому

      One way in, one way out. Katabatic or anabatic depending on time of day and temperatures… the steep upslope offsets the frequent tailwind. Access to the strip is very restricted!

    Woah I thought LKPN with rotors scattered around the field from the ridge when it's blowing northwest and a small rotor on landing that can slam you right into a hangar when it's blowing north is sketchy. A nice bonus is the sloped runway and the trees around most of the field.

      Once you are down near 'Cables 3' its probably not possible in a Husky... the slope is too much... Tom and Gephard's 'Pocket Rocket' can take off up hill from there though, but its climb rate is probably 3500'/min!
