Nice 1950 Telemaster short fight

[Vipertech13]

Hi all! Yep I am still around, just a busy summer! I recorded this video back in April. No it is not my plane but I was a the club and these two older members were getting this old girl ready to go and I just had to get it on video. They tell me it is a 1950 telemaster, (That's 65 years old) and it has an all up weight of about 13 pounds. The engine is a 1985 vintage 65 Satio. It has never been wrecked but it was recovered twice. I only know the pilot as Willy and you can see he is up in years but he's got skills! It just makes my day to watch the old school bird flying. The fellow talking to me on camera told me they have to use flaps to land not for extra lift but to slow it down so it will touch down, it just floats. Hope you enjoy it!
