Fairchild 24 : testing the newly installed AV-30.

Testing the Limits: Fairchild 24 Hangar Rollout, Stall Testing & Grass Three-Point Landing! Come along for a hands-on flight test of a true aviation classic! In this video, we pull the iconic Fairchild 24 out of the hangar and take her into the skies to explore its aerodynamic stall characteristics, before wrapping up the flight with a three-point landing on the grass. The Fairchild 24 is legendary for its docile handling, but taking any vintage taildragger up for stall work requires precision and a good feel for the airplane. Watch as we step through the pre-flight rollout, taxi out, and climb to altitude to see exactly how this 1930s-designed beauty behaves at the absolute edge of its flight envelope. You'll get to see the buffet, how it refuses to stall and mushes down at a 600ft/min rate with the nose 15° up, and the clean recovery of this classic machine. To top it all off, we head back into the pattern for the ultimate taildragger finish: a full-stall, three-point touchdown right on the grass—exactly the type of runway the Fairchild was built for. Whether you love flight testing, vintage aircraft mechanics, or just the sight of a beautiful airplane on a grass strip, this video has something for you.
