What's your favorite tailwheel takeoff technique? Let us know! 🛩️☁️
Our educational videos are written and narrated by Zach - our full-scale professional pilot & instructor who brings both his real-world and RC experience into our videos. This script was also reviewed and given two thumbs up by many fellow full scale and RC tailwheel pilots, as well as an FAA designated examiner and some aerospace engineers. We hope you found it fun and informational and learned from it as well! 😁
-----------------------------------------------------
No pilot is perfect - and nor are we! Here are a few quick footnotes on things we want to clarify from the video:
-3:42 & 4:25 - “As airspeed * and/or propwash * increases over the control surfaces” (Prop wash does give ample air over the tail control surfaces on some planes alone ASIDE from actual forward airspeed. Think of full-scale STOL planes taxiing at a walking speed with their tails up).
-7:42 - “begin the takeoff roll by applying full throttle oxymoron style - smoothly but quickly. * OR - on some planes, you may opt to gently bring your throttle in and takeoff with reduced power settings. Do whatever works best for the plane you're flying. * "

All of my planes are glow powered wood construction 60 to 90 inch. I will start slow with enough back pressure to keep the prop out of the grass then let off the back pressure enough to let the tail come up by itself. A little right rudder to counter torque and she will just fly when she's ready. Big planes usually have light wing loading and will do a full stall 3 point landing very smooth. My favorites are an old Sig Astro Hog tail dragger / K&B 61 and a Great Planes 1/4.7 J3 Cub / OS 91 four stroke.

I have a .15 glow powered, small biplane, non steering tail dragger. Take offs were problematic at best. But, the advice to add up elevator, to keep the rear wheel on the ground, was the best bit of advice to help me with take offs.

No advice, just my experience. I ran thru 3 bats. just practicing taxiing. Running up to speed, not letting the plane take off. Some runs were 100 ft. or more. Learned to use rudder control on the ground. I also added a larger tail wheel. My first takeoffs were successful because I learned how to keep the plane straight on the ground first. A springy main gear also helps keep it on line.

Great class, thanks. As a beginner flyer, I have gotten used to the jam and pray method of takeoff. But I must say, many of the veterans in my club also use that method. I think they just want to get in the air as quickly as possible and start their maneuvers. I'm going to practice these more elegant methods of takeoff and see if I attract any attention.

Feedback: for light foam high wing Airplanes, and foamy 1.1m warbirds that are floaty, DON'T USE FLAPS ON TAKEOFF. These planes can easily leave a hard-surface runway before enough wind is passing the control surfaces to change direction, which is key if you are off centerline and at (or below) a "good enough" flying speed. Remember that for low wingloading aircraft, getting that groundspeed up to make a smooth, "scale" takeoff should be first consideration in your mind. That probably means a "rollout" under throttle, rudder and elevator control.
@TailHeavyProductions
@TailHeavyProductions Год назад
All great tips - but remember they are techniques, not procedures, which is why we didn't even mention flaps. There are acceptable times to takeoff a light plane with flaps, and there are acceptable times to not do a "smooth" scale takeoff. There's more than one way to skin a cat. 👍

This video helped me a bunch, the only thing I would add is that flaps deflect much needed prop wash past the rudder on low to medium ground speed.
@TailHeavyProductions
@TailHeavyProductions 2 года назад
Awesome! Glad to hear it. Not sure how entirely true that is (would need to see wind tunnel data) - but either way, this is why I mentioned to be sure to not raise the tail (especially on larger models or models with a higher wing loading) until you are at a faster airspeed. This ensures you will have the available airspeed to give you ample aerodynamic steering once the tail is up. Before that, keep your tail down to maintain directional control via the tailwheel (mechanical steering).
@zefkosta
@zefkosta Год назад
Why taking off with full flaps? They are deflecting the air flow from the rudder.
@TailHeavyProductions
@TailHeavyProductions Год назад
Depends on the plane. Entirely scenario based. Never had issues with blanketing the rudder on the birds we fly. I take off full scale jets with landing flaps for example to reduce ground roll. Same goes for dropping the flaps on some GA planes on the takeoff roll to get her off the ground quick and then suck them up again. It isn’t an improper technique - again just depends on the plane. Not black and white.

@harleyme3163
@harleyme3163 Год назад
wrong. the gear is mounted so the rear is heavier.. the center of lift and balance never changes or you get and aircraft that fly's with it nose up all the time lol... why gear arent in the middle of the wing, they tend to be more foreward with taildraggers :-\

I want to subscribe to this channel because it’s been great to watch and just popped up on my feed last week. But with the way RU-vid works, after I subscribe their stupid algorithm will stop sending me your videos. So I’m almost better off not subscribing and I’ll keep getting these great vids. I used to be all in on flying RC for several years. Still have most of my planes even. But after my first child was born I didn’t have time to fly. Well.. ten years later.. they’re still hanging in the hanger. It’s such a waste. Is a spectrum DX7 still a decent radio even? That’s what I have still. I’m sure the battery needs to be replaced and I’m sure all my settings for my planes are gone too.

"Proper procedure"? Don't ever use that phrase around some "flyers". You will be barrage by a series of phrases like ," I Just Want to Have Fun". Or "What are you Mr. Perfect"? Even if you are tactful in your approach and back off if they don't want to hear it just mentioning it can cause you to be berated. Let them crash everyone needs a little comic relief.
