    The sound of an inertial start is off the chart. Thanks Kermit !

    Nice post Kermit! I think my Dad flew in such a Stinson in the Army in '46, he was a photographer. Sweet aircraft.

    What a lovely aircraft this is and the way it took off with that STOL climb out ! Kermit you have the very best guys looking after your treasures and this gem is no exception,we could see how pleased you were with the way she flys,and that radial sounds fantastic,hope that you get to enjoy her flying again soon.

    Wow Kermit what an A/C! You came off the ground like a home sick angel! Beautiful aircraft, it is larger than I had thought - I thought it was more the size of the Bird Dog. Thanks again!

    Mr. Weeks, I"m working my way through all your videos during quarantine and they're helping me so much. Thanks you! Looking forward to ACT 3! English is not my native language!

    Great video. Any pilot understands your delight in seeing the machine working as it should. Night and say!
    It must be during moments like these, that it all seems 'worth it'.

    Kermit the test pilot! I'm impressed at how big the L-1 is once a bit of scale is added. I'd only seen pictures.

    You took me back to another time. I could see in my minds eye the young Army pilots doing ash and trash, VRs, and Arty Spotting. Wow.

  • @elkabong6429
    @elkabong6429 5 років тому +1

    I just wish we had a Kermie Kam inside while you were flying so we could see what you were doing at the controls, man! What a cool airplane!

    Great videos mr Weeks! 2 things to consider in your future releases.
    1) Increase the resolution of your videos to 1080p.
    2) Bring back the Kermie cam.

    @jonnybeck6723 6 років тому +1

    Ideally we could have the Kermie Cam and simultaneously show exterior shots...
    ...that's the way I'd like it anyway.
    Thanx for another great vid and...
    cheers

    Kermit beautiful aircraft.. I have a set of plans that I am going to build. 60+" WS. Is yours a Stinson O-49 or a Vultee L-1-A? Thanks from John, Hayden Idaho. Home of the Pappy Boyington Musium

    The strut on the landing gear makes the gear look bent. Kind of an interesting optical illusion.

    @r.waynefournier4283 6 років тому +2

    Yeah, please take the Kermie Cam inside that plane! I use to watch these Stinsons fly over my house when I was a kid, then I'd ride my bicycle over to Owens Field in Columbia to watch em' land.

    Why wasn't the motor inspected before you took it up the first time? Sounds like there was a lot wrong....you got lucky.

  • @halestorm07
    @halestorm07 8 років тому

    Cool machine. Did you guys check the tach with an optical prop tach? Pretty unusual for a mechanical tach to be dead accurate.

    Hi Kermie, have your guys checked the compression pressure and exhaust temp and cyl head temp and exhaust pulse signature on all the cylinders? Still doesn't sound as if it is running 100% to me. [but then I have only been listening to Aero Engines for six decades]

      It's not a Kermie Cam, but this video has some GoPro footage of the L-1 in the air.

    About the same size as a Fiesler Storch, unless I miss my guess.

      L-1 span 50' 11", length 43' 3". Feisler Storch span 47', length 32'. Both are considerably larger than my Piper L-4A.
