That is so cool. I love it.
Allow me a hijack. My partners plane and our UAS:  We fly together once a month or so. The UAS just finished the first Phase of development with mission sensors etc. The guys in the picture are all MS and PhD students we hired. We use his hangar for support, fly the UAS for the airport.

Why a Luscomb? A great deal or is there something about them that you like?

They are less expensive, light sport, very few ad’s and my dad at 87 is still flying it too, the old guy in the front picture, it’s what he learned on in 1946 they were brand new trainers back then. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Love the Globe Swift there in the hanger...
Yours? Wonder why they weren't more popular... Later ones weren't so underpowered. Last edited by tcar; 11-05-2017 at 05:35 PM.. |

Really awesome to see so many pilots on this forum as well - my best friend is finishing up his CFI training as we speak. Such a blast to fly!

Love it, becoming a pilot is a bucket list item for me. Time and money, always time and money....

The payload relies on airflow to cool it when the UAS is flying. They get hot so we keep a blower on them during ground checks. The internal systems cost a bunch more than the flight vehicle!

Nice. My first airplane was an 8E. Lots of fun with that bird. What is the last three of your N number? Wouldn't happen to be 88K would it? My friend owned 88k for years and we flew many hours together with our two Luscombres.

My brother flies for American Air, not me. No way. I don't mind being in the air, but I don't have the desire to pilot.
My best to all you who do.
