Great picture, Nathan. If you ever get to fly one, do it...you will enjoy it. I flew the CAF YO-55 for years and it was a cutie. I had so much fun in it (hoping the O-2 doesn't disown me for that comment) :lol: :twisted:

It was particularly fun the day during brief the Airboss asked the L-Bird lead (me) to bring everyone in for a photo pass. At which time I asked "and how do you expect me to do the photo pass without rudder pedals....to which he said "you'll figure it out"..........hmmmmmmm. I'm sure all the other little L-birdy things looked great in their pass...mine was a bit unusual. :roll:

Nathan, why in the world would you ever want to fly something that doesn't even have rudder pedals? That won't get you very far in the warbird world! :D

Nice airplane, but they're for lazy people. :)

Back many years ago when I was learning to fly taildraggers, my instructor used to tell me, "happy feet make a happy pilot", meaning learn how to use my feet and make that rudder dance!

Try landing one in a 90 degree 25kt crosswind.,..and then tell me it's for lazy people....LOL :P :lol:

But you're probably right....wont get you very far in "warbirds"....but I already had tail wheel endorsement and some hours in those tail dragger things before flying this little itty bitty,

LOL...agreed....but I promise you become very proficient at crabs .......and don't forget you can't kick it at the end. The very first landing I had at a show was in this condition and I had only read about crabbing all the way to touch down.....it was very very uncomfortable to say the least. But it worked and I got more comfortable over the years. Just made transitioning back to "normal" planes during the season interesting. :roll:

Back in the day...When I was learning to fly, my instructor made me fly from Martinsburg, WV to Winchester, VA using only rudder pedals, throttle, and trim. I thought it was jolly good fun, actually.

Mudge the grounded

ps. Although I haven't flown in a year and a half, I'm going in for my FAA yearly medical exam next week. One never knows, does one? :drink3:
