- This was my first time flying this delightful little machine.
In this video I'm carrying out an LAA permit renewal flight test so those of you familiar with such things will see some of the components of said flight test in there (stall, Vne dive).
There was strong crosswind coming over the building so it was fairly turbulent. But no issues at all with the lovely handling on this machine. She let me wheel her onto th one (into wind wheel) with no effort at all.
The engine in this owner built example is an O-200-A.
Awesome. Was my favorite plane when I was a kid.
Mine was the Siemens Shukhert DIV. But then I was always a nerd!
Mine 2 😂
@@vipertwenty249 I had to Google that one, I thought I knew all the planes of the era, but had never heard of that one!
@@PRH123 Adequate speed, phenomenal climb rate, good manouverability, powerful but unreliable engine.
Thing of beauty, love the dance with the devil with the rudder pedals on landing, true tail dragger pilot :-)
Great test flight Pete, almost like I was there.
Confidence in mechanical detail😉😁…….Beautiful
Bravo! Amazing looking project, and appears to fly well. Congratulations!
Very cool!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.. :)
Amazing to see. Just making a Wingnuts Wings model SE5 in 1/32 scale at the moment!
Lovely Pete ❤❤❤
Accessorising paintballing.
Wonderful plane and video!
Ok, now that is FLYING !!!! 😂
Superb .
When taxi turning with a non-steerable tail skid, use some down elevator and a little power to lift the tail. It will turn quicker and better. Also on landing, use full up elevator on roll out.
@@Love2FlyKAP you can see me doing both in this video. The one lots of people forget is full into-wind aileron on roll-out. Even if there is only light wind. Not using ailerons on the roll-out is the biggest cause of ground loops in my opinion.
That looks great! I fly a 80% Fokker D VII replica. I wish we could fly together, that would be quite a show.
@@davidhines4716 I love the look of the D VII! Where are you? I'm assuming not the UK as we don't have any of them flying here I don't think...
No, I’m in the US. You can see mine fly at @HangarGang
What engine are you using? I have a 65 hp continental on mine.
@@davidhines4716 O-200 so 100hp Conti.
@petermontgomery6498 ok, sorry for being nosey, but I'm going to check this out. I just sold my challenger, and I want to build a D7 😊
I'm confused, the Continental O-200A is an opposed engine. Why are all 4 ignition leads on one side? Beautiful airplane. I bought a set of plans for the same replica some years back. Now I'm inspired to turn some spruce lumber into an airplane.
@@michaelschulz6204 the original SE5a used a V8 engine. Hence having 4 leads each side. On this replica, the front 2 leads each side are actual ignition leads and then the rear 2 are dummies. As is the radiator cap on the top front of the cowling.
@petermontgomery6498 well that makes sense now. Thank you for the clarifying.
Currently, I have a set of planes for the SE-5a, full scale Fokker Dr-1 and a volksplane VP -1. Can't decide which one to build first. That is if I live to be 200 years old!
build details/video would be great
@@alanhodge984 this was built by the current owner many decades ago.
@@petermontgomery6498 great workmanship
Why? Oh please dear Sir why did you make only a 75%? The full-size would fly better. Did you not have room ? Great video I got dizzy so it was perfect
