Today I am trying out a Horton STOL kit on a Cessna 150. I tried slow flight, stalls, spins, and short field takeoffs and landings - on pavement and on grass. Nothing phases this awesome kit as I could not even stall the aircraft at 38 miles per hour! If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to let me know down below.

Back in 1977, I had a Robinson STOL kit installed on my T210. It gave me an increase in speed, but the cherries were that I could hang with most 150's. Coming in to land, I could cross the fence at 65 and squeak the wheels at 55. I could get it off the ground at gross weight in less than 300 feet...nose it over and build some speed, then go. This is pretty cool. I havent flown a 150 in 25 years, but I am positive I could jump in with no issues. That puppy looks like it would be fun.

@MOTOBLADE 4 года назад

It is a lot of fun. Crazy how it's fun to ride my motorcycle fast but the plane as slow as possible. I would love to fly a 210, that's an amazing aircraft right the.

I had a Horton on a 62 172 Cessna. After installing the kit, it made a whole new airplane based in flight characteristics,due to the performance. LOVED the airplane after installation. We used it for both commuting and search & rescue in Tx, CO & NM, Through the CAP, EVERYONE would prefer to use our bird whenever possible. HIGHLY RECOMMEND the product.

@lanselithgow5865 4 года назад

FunFifties are wonderful lill planes! Try 1.3 × stall on std approaches , 1.2 × on (short) final. + add the gusting component. Takes a bit to find the break speeds for each flap setting , but once all worked out -it all works! & a 150 Can go around from full flap on the 0-200 climb (69 in dia) prop. Full power , push yoke to counter balloon n be accelerating to at least best climb angle speed as flaps selected for 30° , repeat for 20° , then 10 n on, trimming too. It all happens as fast as described. That type of exercise is great preparation training eng out on takeoff/ climbout in twins!

Super Video Motoblade!! You seem to be a very well trained pilot. I'm a big guy myself and have a little trouble at keeping the 150/152's at gross or under with 2 people on board. Full fuel is not possible most of the time with two. Than Horton kit makes all the difference in the world. Does the airplane also have VG's? Just subbed to your channel. Can't wait to watch more. You have good taste in aircraft, as well as bikes!!!!

Find a flying club if you can. There are also scholarships available for teenagers from AOPA and EAA that can pay part or all of your training. Can even do college for an aviation degree and use student loans to become and airline pilot. Whatever you can do to make it work. It's worth it! Good luck!!

@ericcurry1119 4 года назад

It is absolutely possible, this is America! You can do anything you really want to do. Another avenue you might look into is the civil air patrols. They can use young people as spotters on flights while the pilot is flying the plane. You would be looking for crashed airplanes or missing hikers etc. basically, surround your self in aviation. Go to a small plane repair shop at your local airport and introduce your self, ask for a job doing anything they need. People appreciate a young person showing initiative.

@Ninja-qm8bp 4 года назад

Hey man, just remember, it is possible! Like MOTOBLADE said, look for a flying club, and apply for scholarships! Keep your head up, and don't forget WHY you want to fly. Wish you the best!! I'm working on my private while paying cash for college, and working full-time.

@MOTOBLADE 4 года назад

Yeah. It's part of our flying club. The owner who provides and updates the equipment does an excellent job of maintaining the aircraft and putting a panel together. That's a VFR 150. He is currently building and IFR panel for one of the 150's now. You'll see that soon!

@michaelsanchez8457 4 года назад

So once you are in ground effect it can float slower than 38? Plus if you have a headwind it can be slower? Sounds pretty cool. There is something so cool about STOL.

Yes. It's very cool. I just need alot more practice with it to touch down where I want to. Was not prepared to float so far in ground effect.

@jaygreer7430 4 года назад

Thanks for the video! I own a similar Cessna 150H, and I’ve considered a Horton STOL kit as well as pulling out the vacuum system. I fly in the Pacific Northwest where many airports are surrounded by tall trees. I’m less concerned about making short landings, and more focused on being able to safely clear trees on takeoff from a short runway. Did you notice any positives/negatives from the STOL kit on takeoff and climb? Does the kit significantly improve angle/rate of climb? Also, do you have any perspective on going without the vacuum pump and swapping out the old school DG and attitude indicator to the modern setup in that plane? Sorry for all the questions, but my plane is so similar that I’d love your take. I also just discovered your channel and will definitely be checking out all your flying videos! Thanks again!

@MOTOBLADE 4 года назад

On takeoffs I noticed I shorter distance before wheels up, climb out was about 650 feet a minute, versus the 500 foot rate in the other 150. Both 150s I fly have had the vacuum system replaced with garmin G5 glass. I like it a lot, particularly for the compass gyro so I do not have to keep compensating for magnetic north variation - it does it automatically for you based on your location via gps. Hope that helps. If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask. I will have more flying videos soon. Thanks for watching!

The 38 mph reading on the AS Ind is not true airspeed at the angle you are flying…probably closer to 45mph true…

@dangreen3702 4 года назад

Notice you use 10 degrees of flaps on T/O. POH recommends no flaps for stock 150, even for soft field. I think 10 deg is optional. Does this change with the Horton kit?

@MOTOBLADE 4 года назад

It's for short field takeoff. More lift than drag is produced with 10 degrees of flaps in the 150.

@musoseven8218 3 года назад

My dad had a couple of 150s at each end of his ownership 'career', always off of grass strips, always took off with 10° of Flap and often using soft/short field techniques etc. the lift with 10° of Flap always out performed any drag. Hope that helps. When I think of it, he'd get in and out of places most fixed wing microlight pilots would think twice about lol!

@InterestingWorldLove 2 года назад

Dan your POH recommends no flaps on soft field? My POH last sentence under flap settings.... Therefore the use of 10 flap is reserved for take off from soft or rough fields with no obstacles. Very clear to me but not to this guy. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MV25hYbA_04.html What am I missing?

Hi, what is that rear view mirror on the dashboard? It looks like a small video screen but on second thought it seems like a mirror. Is it a particular brand?

@MOTOBLADE 3 года назад

I don't really know why Cessna put the mirror in the aircraft, because it really isn't high enough to have any effective purpose to look outside or inside the fuselage. It's just the way they made the 150M models with the mirror in the panel.
