triple8s Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Amazing how much we worry about keeping the little blade out front spinning when it has nothing to do with whether an airplane will fly or not.........only how LONG it will fly.

chrisk Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I'm glad others can do this sort of thing and get enjoyment from it. I however prefer to end up in the old aviator category, instead of the bold (but not old). Ont the other hand, I'm seriously considering a gyro-plane add on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1964-M20E Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 is this like push starting a VW? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottfromiowa Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Quote the pilot-"It's kind of like taking off from a cliff"...UMMmmm YEAH! Not as crazy as the bat suit mountain shenanigan's, but close. I had that pit in my stomach, like when I would try and lie to my dad, while he was executing the "flight". Great video, but I won't be joining him on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottfromiowa Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 is this like push starting a VW? Definitely Herbie exploits. Wonder if he had 53 on the side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moodychief Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 The pilot in the video was at Oshkosh. I had the pleasure of visiting with him and his friend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff_S Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Those West aircraft are manufactured just 120 miles up the road (I-85) from Atlanta in Walhalla, SC. And Maule's are made here in Georgia. Who'd a thought that the Southeast could be a proving ground for some really great backcountry machines?
