  • 1957 Cessna 182A landing in an Ohio cow pasture (for fun, no emergency)..... Wet, muddy, narrow, downhill, electric fence on both sides and ends, and cow patties to dodge! Not to mention full fuel.
    It really wasnt too tough. This airplane is light, and it has a Sportsman STOL kit installed with VG's. It is an excellent performer. Who says you need a tailwheel to have off airport fun? Just get some fat tires for your trike!!
    This video was only edited for time, no music! Enjoy the sounds of flying the airplane.

    Nice! Love those early 182s.

      David Duganne, yup, better visibility over the nose, and a flap handle to quickly dump the flaps. I used to fly a 1956 model. My 1969 Cessna 175 (some people say no such thing) with the O-360 conversion, CS prop, and Avcon STOL kit was a joy to fly. I used to do a weekly commute out of a cow and horse pasture until the horses began taking bites out of the paint job.

      David Duganne, damned spell checker/word changer. I wrote 1960, not 1969. Last 175 was made in 1962.

    It's the green fuzzy dash. It's gives him magical powers. Good post!

    I love your 182 with the manual flaps because it's better than electric flaps

    That was amazing and informative. Been trying to figure out a strip at my Dads so I can drop in more often. You gave me an idea how. And I'm digging the Chia Pet Dash too..

    I loved the old square tail 182's with the Johnson bar flap handle. My 175 also had the Johnson bar flap handle. I was commuted out of a horse and cow pasture for three months because the central Nevada town I was working in didn't have an airport. It was okay until the horses were trying to take bites out of the horizontal stabilizer. Caused a lot of metal damage. Glad the cows didn't use the tail as a rubbing post !

    My guess is your buddy who lives on that farm was out of beer, called you and offered to buy you a case if you came and picked him up to go get a few cold ones!

    Ok great soft field short field takeoff and ground effect but remember if you have a engine out on takeoff will you effectively make it back ?

    Flew jumpers in a 57' and 58' model. Such a great plane. Gotta luv the light weight, and performance. Any issues with corrosion over the years? Thanks for posting.

    Carpeted dash? Where are the fuzzy dice, curb feelers and $2,000 wheels? Oh , and the stick-on silver silhouettes of a naked woman :D

    Nice work. I have a Airglas Fork and 8.00x6 with 8.50x6 for the mains. Hopefully it will get on next weekend. How much speed and climb did you lose with your rubber?

  • @cbooth721
    @cbooth721 5 років тому +1

    I doubt the material you have on the dash is STC'd. Be careful what you post. Big brother is watching.

    Flying is got to be one of the easiest thi gs to do,id bet a fighter jet is a lot easier than a small plane with so much more power available...

    Not an emergency, just a landing with no passengers on grass. Big deal.

    Only one engine to rely on and one pilot to fly the plane ? I would call this an emergency!

      Moved to a "truck" 1956 182 after my significant other decided that my 1964 Maule M4 was a truck, which it wasn't. Lots of back country flying in the 182 despite the tricycle gear.
