    What did everybody think of Warren Pietsch airshow routine?

    Re: airshow flying

    Sitting at home - raining, bad day to be on vacation. I watched it a few times this morning- I like it. If you want an even longer video to watch check out Randy Henderson's site (Texas T-Cart) He has some cool in cocpit video.

    Warren's airplane is probably the lightest, most powerful one out there. I still like the old Duane Cole routine with the C90. . . . just seemed more graceful.

    Flying is easy- to go up you pull back, to go down you pull back a little farther.

      I neve had a chance to see Duane's performace, I have seen Randy's Video Little more gracefull routine -longer wing on Randys Plane, I still perfer Warrens. One of the best! In my opinion.

        I just bought the flying coles video on ebay. I just love the power off routine Duane does. Makes me want a clipwing.

          You should see Warren's brother fly a deadstick routine, really, really impresive, The Video is also on there web site.

            We all should send videos to a forum member that has the ability to put them on DVD and compile everything we can. I loaned my old tape of Sid Nelson and it never returned- I do think I know how to get it. I am sure Forrest has the one of him in Liesa Marie at the 1990 Fly-in, Randy's could be downloaded etc. It would just be really neat to have all this stuff to watch. I do have some stuff of me in the Swick- in cocpit with me looking like rubber man. If you have never done flat spins it gives you a new appreciation for it.

            If anyone can do th evideo to DVD or just make copies of a video let us know. . .

              Eric,
              If ya want to take a hell of a ride.....try an inverted accelerated spin...WILD!!! but not recommended in a t-craft....not even a clipped t-craft

                Kevin- When I do my Pitts work with Bill Finnigan (S2C) we do those and inverted flats, crossovers, and every rendition of spins- I love them but I respect them- altitude is your friend. What are you doing inverted stuff in? The Tcraft will actually do a decent inverted spin- or so I am told;-)

                    It would be COOL to have everyone's Taylorcraft video clips on a DVD. I'd love to be able to see Eric's stuff, and Forrest's acro routine, and bush flying STOL home videos, and (hopefully) Rob Lees' apparently 6 inch separation formation flying. That would be a cool resource to offer club members.

                    I'll be the first to pay $20 for a DVD like that to have as archive material. Heck, I'll even take some video of my own and send it to Paul to include. No flat spins or inverted low passes, but we do have some interesting scenery here in the Mojave desert and Sierra Nevada mountains.

                    Think about it Paul, you ought to be a big-time movie producer

                      Not quite accurate, Bill, I always fly with over a foot separation.
                      I don't think I have any flying on video (or cd) but I will have a look through my archives.
