- My newest addition to the family! This beautiful bird was restored about 5 years ago from literally the ground up by a gentleman who knew these airplanes down to the very last screw. She flys and runs as good as she looks!
Nice
I'm looking at these for my first plane and I'm super excited to hunt for one great buy!!!
Beautiful machine.
Thanks for sharing. That plane looks great, a great catch to find and own. I have some hours in a BC-12D, but no electrical system.
Hey Brad! Thanks for watching! And thank you, they are a dream to fly and cheap to own, I like having an electrical system. It’s partial of course, Only having an alternator and no starter I don’t mind propping it.
@@Hangar605 Thanks for the info. I was thinking it may have a starter. Same here; I don't mind hand propping the BC-12D and a few J3s that I have flown. Your avionics panel looks great with the basic necessities. The only item I had was a hand held radio and not all the time. Of course no XPNDR, but did have an ELT. ;-)
Nothing wrong with analog! I’m hoping to have another 3 or 4 or 8 planes by the time I’m done haha I want to start doing projects
Awesome! Great to see more Tcrafts out in the world! That muddy field looks like a great place for her :)
Bobby Craig I agree, I hope to make more videos on flying and a hangar I’m building, can’t leave her outside!
That thing is CLEAN!
You must never sell this plane... when you're older you will understand why. We have had our Cessna 140 for 42 years, great plane...Congrats !
I agree! Once you have it, it’s yours it took a long time for me to get it and I plan on keeping it long enough it becomes a family air loom no pun intended. Thanks for watching!
That's gorgeous!
I learned to fly in that plane.
In that one specifically? I’d love to hear the story, who owned it what the power plant was like. I really don’t know a lot about the history of it. A lot has been done to it since 1946 though
I bought it from a guy in Missouri in late August 2006 . I was 56 years old and had never taken a flying lesson. It had the continental 75 hp engine. I found an instructor at Y14 and got my sport pilot certificate in it. A few years later I sold it to Scott and he did made it look new again. I have many great memories in ‘Tigger’.
That’s pretty cool, so it’s had 3 engines in it then. Scott flew it everywhere for a few years after restoration, sold it to Tim in Lemmon, SD and it sat there for a few years and then I bought it in 2020, got my sport certificate in it obviously I still own it and plan on passing it down to the next generation. Tiger is a neat name, I named it “Bumblebee” and it lives in Buffalo, SD how did it get the name tiger?
Cool
Does this qualify as an LSA? Thanks.
If you ever want to sell it, call me first!
Hi how long is your grass strip on your farm
Hey Matt! Great Question! It is 1,953 feet and uses just a little under 600 feet in a full stall landing without breaks. Ideally a 2,000 foot runway is great especially for wheel landings, thanks for watching!
