Very well done. Professionaly done by both of you men. My Dad taught me to fly in the navion at age twelve.

Extremely useful video! Thank you @Gin Clear Aviation and @Simon Tilling for showing this beautiful airplane! I cant wait to get it into Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Lucky man. They seem a good all rounder for travel, fun and short field ops.

Thank you for an enjoyable video. I'm a retired pilot/ owner of the Nation. You brought back many nice memories.

This is the first I have heard about this plane, what an absolute beauty. It's sleek and stylish with a good climb rate and cruise speed. I'm impressed.

Thanks Dave. Hope to see at Popham this summer!

My dad owned a 1947 version, the Navion was nicknamed a poor mans P51.

Welcome aboard!

Beautiful Navion! I have a 1948 with the same updraft cooling configuration and 205 hp E-185 engine. I noticed that Simon's Navion doesn't have cowl flaps -- mine also lacks cowl flaps although the POH insists they are present and should be closed during cruise. My plane also lacks a primer knob, so before starting the engine I use the electric fuel pump and sometimes the throttle to wet the carburetor. My POH specifies climbing at manifold pressure 25 or 26 and RPM 2280. I fly a lot in hot weather so sometimes the throttle and mixture settings must be adjusted to prevent engine overheating.

It's great to see and learn about an unusual plane.

I agree with you! I’m old school and prefer steam gauges as well. They have worked for fifty plus years so why go glass.

To keep its original beauty, I really don't believe 'glass' would work in the Navion

Excellent video Dan, you only talked enough to get Simon going and no music meant we could hear the engine.

Thanks so much.

So with rudder/ aleron coordination how do you do a slip as in like landing in a cross wind?

@ginclearaviation

5 ай бұрын

The rudder / aileron linkage is by a spring arrangement. But in a crossed control (slide slipping) situation, the springs are easily over-ridden. Best of both world!

14:15 on initial observation looks like the throttle is the only non vernier type knob. You should not be twisting it to adjust the idle, all you would be doing is twisting the cable (which could look like a minor adjustment working)
