When I was a kid my Grandfather would take me up in his Piper Cub over the family farm. He would do a complete flip/loop in that sucker. I remember hanging on to those two metal posts above the dashboard watching the speedometer. It had a sticker for stall speed and a sticker for max air speed. He would push the plane straight down first to get the momentum to climb up and flip at the top. Those doors were wide open the whole time! He’s in his late 90’s now and in the later stages of dementia. I feel very fortunate to have shared those times with him. Great video! I really enjoy following along on your many adventures!

Brings back some amazing memories from the late 70s. I worked at a small airstrip at age 12 and 13 for a minimal amount of money and a one hour a week of flight time. The best part was learning in the J3 with the window up and door down… Heaven! I had two amazing instructors, Buddy who was a barnstormer And then taught many pilots for World War II, and the other Jimmy when was an amazingly talented pilot that could fly anything! I'd love to have a cub in my backyard! Thanks for sharing the video!

My Uncle was a Major in WWII, commanded artillery in germany, ( the 5th AD), and he had a cub assigned to him for spotting. He told me that the pilot, Duane Francies, (who he genuinely thought was crazy ;-) invited him to go spotting, he accepted and as they were headed to the plane Mr Francies stopped by the mess and grabbed a lid off the stove and told Uncle Everette to grab one too, he asked why, and Mr Francies said, cause canvas don't stop bullets, and you don't want to get shot down there!!! ;-) Uncle Everette told me when they landed, which was hard, that the strut that holds the wing bent, Mr Francies just kicked it straight, and said good as new... Uncle Everette said he never flew with him again ;-) Mr Francies also had the honor of being the only cub pilot to shoot down a german plane :-) You'll find as you get older that flying low and slow is WAY more fun than fast and high ;-) Always enjoy your vids Mr Steveo :-)

Low n Slow, navigating by map and compass, airspeed and a clock. The rest of the flying done by the seat of your pants. Those things will always bring a smile to the face of even the most experienced pilot. I love technology, but it sure brings a level of satisfaction and pride to know you can do it all without any modern aids. It returns flying to a very personal and almost intimate level, where you get some great satisfaction. It's what keeps these old birds flying, and why so many commercial pilots fly them.

I really like the relative low horsepower of these engines and how it's amazing to me they really can life everything off the ground, with the good aerodynamics, of course. I was looking at the Cri Cri aircraft. Smallest multiengine aircraft in the world and has a long range, too (some models). It weighs only 172 pounds. Amazing! "Powerplant: 2 × JPX PUL 212 single-cylinder piston engines, 11 kW (15 hp) each." -Wiki I have watched many super STOL videos, many which are recorded in Canada or Alaska. Beautiful country, just like the Bahamas. I have to say your flight had a beautiful day and it has been beautiful here the past few days in Kentucky. A nice 70F+. Really perfect for now.

@Bartonovich52 5 жыл бұрын

The Cub was designed for very low power. Huge wing area... fat USA-35B airfoil, super light weight construction, and massive tail authority. It’s what makes it a good STOL plane with more power.... and never a fast plane with all that drag.

@sopilote56 7 жыл бұрын

+NFreund I agree having some kind of traffic warning is better than nothing as long as it doesn't give you a false sense of security. I have flown a couple of flights in Cessnas with ForeFlight and the Stratus and that "portable" system worked very well. Here is what is being said about FLARM on the Rec.Aviation.Soaring forum in the US: ....... "FLARM is hampered by several technological problems. Low power transmitters, poorly placed and poorly performing antennas, and low power CPUs with insufficient horsepower to handle lots of targets in close proximity. It will never work right. ADS-B uses high power transmitters, reliable position reporting and good antennas that are well placed. ADS-B targets can be easily tracked from 50 miles out. For an anti collision system, I want something that will give me good advanced notice that something is nearby and be compatible with all the other air traffic because it doesn't matter whether I hit another glider or a power plane, it's going to hurt either way."............... FAA Approval of equipment and installation is needed for most things in Standard Airworthiness US Aircraft. I am building an airplane with an electrical system and I am glad it will have ADS-B, but do not know if I will ever have traffic info in the certified gliders I fly. So I say, please look out the window for traffic as much as possible, not everything shows up on the gadgets.

You can do it! Start right now and absorb everything you can on aviation. Here is a link--www.avelflightschool.com Start working and saving money because flight training isn't cheap. You might want to check out a military option. Go talk to pilots flying in Korea and find out what they did to learn to fly. There has to be pilot forums you can log into and and ask questions on how to get started. You are never too young to learn. In the United States you have to be 16 years old to get a pilots license but there is no age limit for learning. See if you can talk to commercial airline pilots. Really! Most pilots are delighted to inform young people who want to learn to fly about ways to pursue that journey and help you. Like I said before, "you can do it". Good luck.

I am from Texas, learned to fly in California in 1976 and got my private license in 1978. I encourage young people to know they can do whatever they want if you just work for it and don't stop. Like I said, pilots like to encourage and help kids who are interested in aviation so that they can enjoy the unique environment, excitement and challenges that aviation offers. In the United States for example there are now only about 590,000 active licensed pilots out of three hundred million people so pilots are few. The world needs young kids who want to learn to fly so I encourage you to do it.

My college roomate’s dad had one of these, he had his own runway that ran along the highway on his large dairy farm. It was a paper covered air plane too, this was in 1976!

How would you start the airplane if you were on your own?

@paperodiabolicovideo 7 жыл бұрын

John Calvinist 2" throttle, mags on, right wheel in between your feet, grab the prop with your right hand and pull hard (yell CLEAR PROP). Jump in, preflight checks, good to go!

@jimnew5813 6 жыл бұрын

I stand behind prop, and my Cub usually starts best at closed throttle. After it fires you are standing well within reach of throttle so you get your hand on it quick and advance it a little to keep engine running. then back to idle and climb in ...Go Flying!

+Jim New That is how I always did it too. Very helpful when there is no tie down and no one is around to hand prop you. I owned several tail draggers over the years and at least 4 of them were J3 cubs including a very rare 90hp RAWE metal spar clipped wing J3 which remained certified in the standard category unlike the wood spar Reed clipped wing J3 cubs which are licensed "experimental category".

@@paperodiabolicovideo Yes. I have some small wheel chocks on a rope that I pull after I climb in. The end of the rope is tied to the seat frame for safety. I just toss them in the back.

Cubs are just funner than any other airplane, I have had mine for five years now and finally moved it to a grass field where it belongs. South Lakeland X-49

In the early sixties I flew and plane just like this in the Civil Patrol. I was too young to drive but I could fly thirty minutes for a dollar. Sounds cheap but I mowed lawns to earn money for money and had other hobbies. Once we landed just before a thunder storm and could not get to the tie down before it hit so we adjusted the stick to be tail heavy and hung on to the struts so the plane would not flip over. Good times. When I turned sixteen I got a part time job for $.95 an hour, got a car and a girl friend and flying went to the back burner. Married that girl but still love airplanes.

Can you not do that in any other plane you currently own/fly? Well, if it's your dream plane.. it doesn't have to be a dream. Can't believe how much $$$ pilots make to fly... incredible! Lucky ducks :)

@Concorde707 7 жыл бұрын

I agree, if the day comes that I will own private, I will either go Carbon Cub or a Maule Orion like the one in the Flightchops video in British Columbia

I got to fly a plane for the first time ever when I was 15 years old. I was in the PA18 Super cub. I took off and landed at the Gillespie County Airport a little south of Fredericksburg Texas. I’m graduating high school next year and I plan on joining the army to become an Apache pilot. I just pray to God I get a high enough score on the ASVAB test to qualify for that.

Hello Steve, Enjoy your videos. This one brings back memories, soloed in the Piper Cub in 1967. It was a fun aircraft to fly, back to the basics.

@jburritt426 3 жыл бұрын

That is a cute plane. We flew in a 1964 Cub to Dune lake from Fairbanks. My husband flew in first with the luggage. ( A duffle) I flew in from the Takena Alaska Airport. It was a float plane. Go cart of the skies. The most fun I ever had. Plus two chihuahuas. He said we were the lightest packers he ever flew.

One of the best done videos of this type that I've seen! The Piper Cub is probably my favorite plane and the camera work did it justice.

I've had my time in a cub. I asked the Instructor to drill me in loops and spins and the like. My first loop turned out to be a little light on top and suddenly had gas on the windshield. What a thrill. My first flight was with my Dad in an Aeronca sitting with my sister in an already small front seat.... Thanks for the ride. Thanks also to the owner for taking such good care of this priceless gem!
