Forgot I even did this video and posted it... Over 100K hits... Not bad. Dani is a great lady. And she is a pro snowmobiler ... I would not mess with her. We had a lot of fun filming it. As I recall the owner let her take the controls while they did a loop around Stellar airfield in Chandler AZ.
After my solo in a 7AC Champ I bought a 1941 Taylor Craft BC12D. $600.00 😳 I spent a few years and 300 plus hrs as king of the air ways at 105 mph.😂 I flew over most of Northern California exploring the pacific coast, the Central Valley and the lower Sierras. Landed on. Levy near Colusa for a night of CAT fishing. 😊 I loved my T Craft and the many adventures we shared.
T-Craft's are one of the more efficient aircraft of its time and this one is a great example. Spent lots of time in a nicely restored T-Craft with an 85HP continental back in the early 1980's. It was the airplane that taught me how to land tail wheel planes. So gentle and forgiving this was and still is truly an airplane that made learning to fly very easy and enjoyable. This is a beautifully restored T-Craft and a very confident young woman at the controls. most people that fly on skies will hand from the rear side of the prop. This way if the plane starts to move forward you are able to get at the controls in a second. Most planes that are float equipped and don't have a starter must be started from behind the prop since there's no room in front. Beautiful airplane and woman. Thanks for the video!
Whoever did the restoration on that bird did a fantastic job . We have a Stearman and a L3 Aronica that we restored and generally folks don’t understand how much work goes into bringing these aircraft back to their former glory .
Ya you end up putting $60k of work and materials to have an airplane that might be worth $40k. You had better be doing it for the love of old airplanes.
Cet avion a exactement mon âge et c'est sur ce type d'avion que j'ai commencé à apprendre à piloter. Il n'était pas aussi propre car il sortait des surplus militaire mais il était bien agréable à piloter (avec le J3 /L4 de chez Piper). Mais si l'avion est beau, que dire de sa présentatrice !. Je ne sais lequel ou laquelle il faut le plus admirer des deux. Il a , ce vétéran, de la chance de se laisser monter par une aussi jolie demoiselle malgré ses 70 ans. La vision de ce duo me ramène 50 ans en arrière quand j'emmenais parfois de jolies demoiselles dans le ciel, et, parfois, au 7ème (ciel)! Profitez bien de votre jeunesse "jolie rose" car, comme cette fleur, la jeunesse ne dure que l'espace d'un instant. Dans un tel avion, je ne doute pas que vous en profitiez pleinement comme je le fis il y a un demi-siècle déjà....
First airplane of which I ever had control was a T-craft 12D. Easy to fly. Really loved it. Then my dad bought a Cessna 1946 140 and I had a new love but I never forgot my first.
We use to own a 1945 BC12D C-FSJZ sn 6411 lots of fun on skis in the winter landing on frozen lakes, flying along and positioning our shadow over unsuspecting snowmobilers...
Very nice plane. Very nice presentation. As a long time pilot, over 35 years - I just got a BFR in a great Taylor Craft with a great instructor. I think all pilots should get a BFR or at least a check out in a tail wheel airplane with a good tail wheel pilot at least every couple or few years. Teaches you what those peddles are for down by your feet, no -not the brakes.
So 60 years ago (plus a little), Dick Fogelman from Levittown, PA said to this 12 year old (then) "Would you like to take a ride in an airplane?" And I DID, more than once. He had an old Taylorcraft that looked like your BC model to my memory. I sat there watching him hand spin the prop to start it, and I still remember the thrill of that trip out of Old Star Airport in Bucks County for the first time. What a great memory!
I learned to fly in a '46 Taylorcraft owned by by Grandfather. What a beautiful plane. All these many years later it is hanging in an Aircraft museum in Minot, ND.
I recall Gordon Baxter writing about his memories of flying a T-craft on a hot summer day in Beaumont Texas. Hooting and hollering, with his arm out the window beating on the side of plane while doing touch and goes! Bax had a way with words.
He sure did. I read every Bax Seat I could get my hands on when I was learning to fly. His words embodied all the passion and joy that flying brings and really inspired me - and still do. I remember when his last article was published. Sad day for flying, may he rest in peace. Cheers from Sydney, Oz - Dave
In the 80's I had a 1979 F-19 with the 0-200 engine, N2003L, took it to Oshkosh in 1986, great airplane, it would cruise at an honest 100MPH on 5 GPH, wide open throttle in level flight would see 118MPH, I really miss the aircraft, wish I never sold it.
Nice video. I had a `47 Aeronca Chief with 65hp. 85mph was all she`d go. If you lost it in a dive it wouldn`t overspeed due to drag. Flew it 2yrs. and 430hrs. Learned a lot. Only mechanical issue was a mag.
They did, for several decades. Charles and Dorothy Ferris, from the original factory staff, brought them back in the early 1970's as the F- series the F-19, F-21, etc with many improvements. After Charles passed away his wife continued the company until 1985. The company then changed hands a number of times and after many financial and legal issues finally folded in 2007 and was repossessed by the original owners who were manufacturing wing struts in compliance with a recent Airworthiness Directive. The company is now up for sale but lives on with Auster and Aviat aircraft along with many conversions based on the original design.
my dad had a 46 bc12d for 50 years...he got it in 1958 and I had to sell it when he passed in 2008..Unfortuneately no one else in the family learned to fly..It had a wooden prop though...for some reason i cant go to the website
Nope cruise for the T-crate is 102 and the Luscombe 8-A is 105 mph the two most efficient side by side two places on 65 Hp. useful load is quite a bit lower than the luscombe, while the T-crate isn't so short coupled and thus not so quick on the landings.. Very different construction.. Pay your money, take your choice. Taylor was the designer of the Piper Cub, and the Tcrate was his improvement after he sold to Piper. Probably better on floats than on land.
Waffles Gaming Wow, that's a stretch. The Cub is a 2-place tandem and the 172 has a 4-place cabin. The Taylorcraft is a 2-place side-by-side. These are three distinctly different aircraft.
I learned to fly in a T-Craft and graduated to a Luscombe. Suggesting there may be a remote likeness (except for the fact that aircraft have adjustable parts to manage airflow, like a bird has feathers) between any tail dragger and a 172 is adequately covered in the preface to Flying 101.
Taylorcraft is one of the easiest-to-fly designs I've ever flown. Frise ailerons and a near-laminar-flow airfoil you basically drive it anywhere. And with generous rudder-to-fin ratio it's great in a crosswind almost self-correcting. Add the Monocoupe-inspired bar-of-soap fuselage profile- it wants to fly. So let it. So light on the controls the only danger is over-controlling. Basically you trim it, sit back and enjoy the ride.
@@wmfife1 Just sit back and....... Don't forget to take the crosswind correction out when touch. ..do...wn.....happens and you were just sitting back, enjoying what was a pleasant ride
First things first, what a beautiful Taylorcraft. Second and equally exciting is seeing a beautiful young woman obviously in love with flying and what I'm assuming is your plane. Call it nosey but I noticed no ring left Finger? If correct your going to be one he'll of a catch for some man. But take your time because a lot of young men are going to be intimidated by your abilities and independence. An for heavens sakes, make sure any man you choose has the passion for flying you do. Best of luck and thanks for sharing.
Kind of a Cute Girl,,, One That Knows Absolutely Nothing About "Hand Propping" An Airplane !!! She Knows NOTHING,,, That's Sad... Really,,, It's Lucky If She Knows ,,,, "The Time of Day",,,, As She Knows Nothing About Safety,,, and Being Around Airplanes....
Beautiful! And the plane looks good too!
Kinda trashy looking. I like it.
Oh yeah, whatahoney
Oh boy! That is just so perfectly simple and well put together. So appealing.
Beautiful plane you got there Mr. Allen! Your hosts did a fantastic job!

Yea the 85 is the way to go or better yet 0-200 not gonna go to much faster but climb is much better esp in the west.
Very attractive, beautiful lines and curves. The aircraft looks ok too.
Remerbrance of 40 years ago,thanks.beuty lady!... and pristine plane.

She should do more, lovely and pleasant voice

My dad soloed in a Taylorcraft. He learned to fly before he learned to drive. His dad was an FBO. He remarried at 89 and recently passed at 95.
The plane looks good too.
What plane?
yes, nice curves too.
LOL! u r right bro
Super ! pour l'avion et Dani qui le présente !

Nice plane, reminds me of mine back sixty years ago.
That is the prettiest example that I've seen yet.
+tomshiba51 The plane is nice too.
Nice video. I had a `47 Aeronca Chief with 65hp. 85mph was all she`d go. If you lost it in a dive it wouldn`t overspeed due to drag. Flew it 2yrs. and 430hrs. Learned a lot. Only mechanical issue was a mag.
that was an awesome precentation;)
Wait: There was a plane in this video?
Wow a lovely woman who hand props a tail dragger? Are you kidding me? 🥰🥰🥰
I'd fly that!
Love the front wheel covers.
i like the rear covers,,,, heheheh,,, ole USN vet
Interesting brake and rudder pedal configuration 🤔
I think I'm in Love!
What a great plane!
Why only why every time music which does not fit? The last sequence was the best one. Very good job done on the airplane.
A real beauty..thx!
We used to have a couple TC's back at ally 88 during the early 50's. I remember they'd always seemed to bogstat the warn whistle.
This one is dressed to the nines with shiny wheel pants. 👍👍👏👏😃😃
No tuve tiempo de ver el avion😍
Beautiful aircraft
Plane ? What plane ?
Beautiful cat!
Beautiful. What airplane?
Everything very well said.
Why don't they start building these beautiful little planes again?
They did, for several decades. Charles and Dorothy Ferris, from the original factory staff, brought them back in the early 1970's as the F- series the F-19, F-21, etc with many improvements. After Charles passed away his wife continued the company until 1985.

Jeffrey Nelson Simple, lawyers and lawsuits. That’s who killed the small plane industry.
Muy pero muy bonito y hermosa Taylor .
Beautiful woman and aircraft!
Nice job classy video
Beautiful I love her
Nice host!
my dad had a 46 bc12d for 50 years...he got it in 1958 and I had to sell it when he passed in 2008..Unfortuneately no one else in the family learned to fly..It had a wooden prop though...for some reason i cant go to the website
Damn I wonder if she's real simple to get into? gorgeous!
Contact and brakes; person in the cockpit repeats: Contact and brakes.
This out at Stellar Airpark?
That thing sat in my hangar for like 3-4 weeks
Lmao, theres a video of me grinding away with an angle grinder about 2 feet from that exact airplane... it was cool to have around for a bit
The airplane looked good too.
James Brady ha - what airplane?
Cruises at 100 mpg seems a bit optimistic?
Sure it will fly at 100 mph as long as the altitude lasts.
Nope cruise for the T-crate is 102 and the Luscombe 8-A is 105 mph the two most efficient side by side two places on 65 Hp.
useful load is quite a bit lower than the luscombe, while the T-crate isn't so short coupled and thus not so quick on the landings.. Very different construction.. Pay your money, take your choice. Taylor was the designer of the Piper Cub, and the Tcrate was his improvement after he sold to Piper. Probably better on floats than on land.
Capt Larry I understood that TCraft (early ones, anyway) were license-built British Austers. How does that fit in?
+carmium
Other way round I think - Austers were developed from the Taylorcraft. But Mr Taylor was from Britain originally?!
Two different Taylors ! One American, one English.The T-crate is an American Design.
@:50 No. Race car roll cages are built like aircraft. :)
Good video.
years ago I soloed n94909.
Stellar Airpark?
Yes it is!
Mile high club?
.............................. where is the airplane .. ?
No no no, no puedes ser tan bella! Puedo invitarte a volar en mi Piper PA-12? Besos desde Buenos Aires!
Yeah, shake that tail!
Yeah. Like if it was a huge bag
LINDO AVIÃO, BRASIL OK.
A nice Decoltage will sell an aircraft any time....!
How much?
How come I didn't see any airplane!!!! All only I saw a beautiful woman!!!!
ol' george never quite wrote it like that but i guess it works!
1:49 words I like to hear from any beautiful woman. I'm sorry I couldn't let that one go.
It looks like a mix between a j3 piper cub and a Cessna 172
Waffles Gaming
Wow, that's a stretch. The Cub is a 2-place tandem and the 172 has a 4-place cabin. The Taylorcraft is a 2-place side-by-side. These are three distinctly different aircraft.

It may be a single, but she has two nice spinners!
Wow!
Sweet!!!
Damm... I can't afford either one...
2003Harleyguy they're cheaper than you think, I got mine for 6k,put 8 k in it,flew it for 9years and sold it for 18k.
Good way to loose both thumbs . BLOND! . NOT A FUCKING CLUE. a few frys short of a happy meal I think.
100mph in a dive loaded to max gross.
How can one see that beauty with that girl in the way?
а мне понравилась мадам -веселая ядреная-только парашют забыла одеть-но ей простительно она блондинка
Get yourself a woman that looks at you like Dani looks at her Taylorcraft
If she can fly..so can my cat Cuddles..
+Dale Helmick Well she is a professional snowmobiler. Can Cuddles ride a snowmobile? I would bet she could fly it.

Careful with that propeller, Baby Dumplin.
"Simple dash makes it easier to fly". Just one of the pieces of fluff in this presentation. Sad.😥
Honey you are a big girl.
Music junked video
These aren't exactly rocket science to fly you know
Simple Panels, don't make simple flying!
