I use several sources. Audiio.com and MotionArray.com are where I found these two songs. Select a duration of 2:30 and genre of Country. I'd tell you the names, but once I've used them, I forget them. - Don the Camera Guy
Loved the belly shots during takeoff and landings! It's a great angle with the conventional gear. I especially like how you got just a bit of wing in with the fuselage and tail on the 170's roll. The footage was so good I didn't notice the lack of cabin footage until I read the comments.
Your the type of guy we can all learn something useful while listening to you. Most people only say something useful after a long while but you really offer up good informative stuff one after another. Thanks, I really enjoyed it!
As an aviation crazed lad, I read “Week-end Pilot”, Frank K. Smith’s 1957 book on learning to fly. He bought a used Cessna 140 to learn in, and when he got his license he decided he needed a 4-seater. He thought he was going to buy a 170, but the salesman showed him a brand new 172. The paint job on the 180 in your video reminds me of Smith’s 140.
Wheel landings, no less. Clean tracking and energy, pitch, and altitude control. Great music. Skipper, it's plain to see that you know your way around a tailwheel plane. Nice job.
Wellll ... it really wasn't Mark's fault. We had two GoPro cameras in the cockpits, and they failed us. Again. We are working on a solution. - Don the Camera Guy.
Another fascinating video Mark👍✌️💜😊 Two lovely aeroplanes, cant recall when I last saw a 170 in blighty (if at all), I do like the C170's, my dad was a taildragger man, so its rubbed off, although Ive only flown landomatic types😀😀😀🙄 Will we get to see the interior and flights from inside too🤔🤞🤞🤞✌️👍💜😊
Thanks for this one! I’ve had at least one of these on my wishlist since I got my tailwheel endorsement, and this helps clear up some of the differences and options I’ve wondered about.
Love your videos. My wife said you are just like me, and airplane nerd. I take it as a compliment. We just sold our Mooney to build a kit plane but I have been watching a lot of tail dragger videos. I’ve been loving the idea of a Cessna 195 lately
excellent video, a shot of the cockpit of both aircraft on landing would have been tops. i was thinking of switching to a 180 from my 170a but as both are the same size internally ,i will keep my 170a
@@skywagonuniversity5023 Have you done anything with your MG ? I recon put a Mazda MX -5 running gear in it ! Experimental ! Weekend job for a chap with your skills …. Gun stocks to barrel chairs … 🤔to good a rocket to be gathering dust 😬
Love these videos! And tailwheel Cessna's - hard to beat. I did most of my tailwheel training in a 170. Then had to switch to an early 150TD conversion. Loved both, but the 150 forced me to "master" landing & taking off more quickly since this particular plane's feedback was quite a bit more lively. I could see myself with a O360 170 though. Much appeal there. Mark, (or anyone), what music was playing during the aerial scenes?
Fuel flows can be funny things. 170 and 185 flying to AK together. Both 9 GPH at same 170 cruise speed. A friend’s 185, IO-520 (300 HP) with GAMI’s on a recent trip from ANC to CXP. 11-12 GPH 10-11,500’. A friend’s 180 with IO-550N (310 HP) on a ferry to Florida. 11 GPH at 11,500’. My 185, IO-520 (350 HP LyCon) with GAMI’s and electronic ignition. 9.5-10 GPH at 11,500’. If equipped and operated properly and monitored with an EDM, fuel flows on big engines don’t have to be expensive. Controversial, perhaps, but entirely doable.😊😊😊 Edit: My iPad somehow snuck those emojis in, but the effect is proper, so…
Thank you once again for a great video! What is underneath the 180? Seems like a large circular patch and two hinges or something hanging from the side.
...aaand since you didn't show us the cockpits, we can only guess how it was back then in fifties. G1000 from factory, right? Besides, that seemingly rotating gimbalish round feature on the belly of 180, is that for aerial photography?
I have a subscription to Soundstripe. I find royalty free music there. I hope you liked it, 'cause I spend hours listening to garbage to find a gem. - Don the Camera Guy.
