EN LOS AÑOS 1952 al. 1955, YO DI EL CURSO EN LA HAVANA, CUBA, PARA PILOTO PRIVADO, DE LAS 35 HORAS DE VUELO, QUE EN AQUELLOS AÑOS YA ERAN ESAS HORAS DE VUELO, PARA SACAR LA LICENCIA DE ""PILOTO PRIVADO"". EN AQUELLOS AÑOS, EL COSTO ERA DE $ 10 pesos cubanos, QUE ERAN AL CAMBIO POR EL DOLLAR ^ESTADOUNIDENSE^, EL PESO CUBANO VALIA <2 o 3 centavos (céntimos ), más que 1 DOLLAR. PUDE HABER VENIDO EN ESOS AÑOS, A ESTUDIAR LA CARRERA MILITAR , AQUI A EE. UU. AA. , PERO DESISTI DE HACERLO. CONTINUE EN EL MODELO C - 46, PERO AL TRIUNFAR LA REVOLUCION EN 1959, SE SUSPENDIERON Y CERRARON MUCHOS AEROPUERTOS EN CUBA, Y YO PUES ME VI OBLIGADO A DEJAR ESOS ESTUDIOS Y ENTRENAMIENTO EL AERPTO. DONDE HICE EL CURSO DEL PIPER CUB J 3, ESTABA EN UNA PEQUEÑA FINCA DE ^HIERBA^, <<GRAMA>> IN ENGLISH, EN LA CARRETERA DE < BACURANAO, QUE IBA DICHA CARRETERA, HACIA LAS PLAYAS DEL < ESTE> DE LA *HAVANA*, ( PLAYAS DE *GUANABO*, STA. MARIA DEL MAR , BOCA CIEGA*). EN CUBA , EN ESOS AÑOS AL PIPER < J 3 CUB >, SE LE DECIA <<UNA PLUMA VOLANTE>>. YO AUN POSEO UN CATALOGO DE LA ESCUELA AMERICANA DE AVIACION << CALIFORNIA AIRCRAFT INSTITUTE>>, CON TODAS LAS INSTRUCCIONES A SEGUIR, PARA VOLAR EL *J 3*. ES EL UNICO QUE CONSERVO Y LOS RECIBIAMOS DE ESTA ESCUELA, RADICADA AQUI EN CALIFORNIA . YO RESIDO AQUI EN EL ESTADO DE<<FLORIDA>>, Y COMO CURIOSIDAD, PUES SOY // BASTANTE MAYOR DE EDA. //. LES ENVIO MI E--MAIL, POR SI QUIEREN Y DESEAN ESCRIBIRME ALGO. SALUDOS A USTEDES. < UNA DISCULPA >. EL COSTO DE LOS $10 pesos cubanos, era el valor de la hora de vuelo. ATENTAMENTE. SINCERILY YOURS .

Class B, class C and class E above 10,000msl are the only airspace that require ADSB

I have an engine for sale 890hrs sense overhaul O-235 C with log books

Sorry to hear. We took the family dog and kids out there and saw the damage. Truly sorry for the loss of all affected by Milton. Hoping the insurance companies will be kind to us to help us fix our house…….happy landings

That really sucks Matt I saw it the day after the storm, was shocked to see all the damage. Have you seen the Cub Bill has for sale very nice plane if you wanted to stay in a Cub.

From having worked at Lock Haven Airport, I can tell you that sucks.

Sad to see...there is no substitute for the experiences that J3 brought to you...power to you for looking forward and focusing on what comes next...

I OTR and have a CDL. I also have type 2 diabetes (probably 70+% of truckers do). Because of the diabetes, I’m required to get medical clearance every year as opposed to every two years. With diet, exercise, and medication, I’m able to keep my A1C in the mid 6’s. Would this condition alone exclude me from being PIC?

Dude, get rid of the background noise. It made the video unwatchable.

So sorry to see this. 😏 Glad y’all made it out safe down there.

Excellent - thank you for making this

Oh my, I’m so sorry. That ol girl really took a hit from the winds. What a beautiful plane. Keep us informed on your next Cub.

I am so sorry to hear this news.

Had a Piper Cherokee 150 with a 160hp upgrade and VG’s and an STC that amounted to tape on the stabilizer. That handled better in slow flight & stalls better than any C150, 152 or 172. To omit the Cherokee would be a shame

Hi J3, I have a Private Pilot's License it is not current, I have not flown for 10 yrs. or so. I am interested in purchasing another plane either Ultralight or Sport category, I imagine if I go with the Light Sport I would need to get a Flight review, Instructor sign off?

Excellent video!!

SE-5 Bi plane that is my dream

If they are worried about a 2lbs sUAS flying, but not worried about this…the FAA is the F$&k’n idiots I always knew they were.

It is not a LIGHT sport rule....it is simply Sport Pilot. I am one of those.

Couldn’t have said it better! 👍😎❤️

Hello, im looking at a 42 Cub. It has a O-145 engine. People have told me to stay away since the engine is hard to find parts. Any thoughts on this?

Who wants a Bonanza when you can fly a cub and enjoy the scenery with the door open?

I just passed my Sport Pilot FAA written test today, yay! The bad news is the last spot in the EAA Sport Pilot Academy was taken last Friday. I can wait until June or find another school… (All the local schools only do PP)

I'm training in a J3 Cub, fulfilled requirements (and then some!), waiting on a DPE. How do you think the MOSAIC changes will affect the prices of the newly included LSA aircraft?

Get some kind of wind noise blocker for heavens sake… Im sending you the bill for my subwoofer…

If you want to do something positive, reign in the aviation bar, which has reportedly doubled the cost of light aircraft.

Those would be great changes. I was a student pilot years ago, and recently decided to build an ultralight. This might change my mind

So now they're willing to change it. Cessna 120/140 owners tried for years to get the weight limit increased by 100 lbs. 🙁

Really interesting. Is there any changes to manufacturing rules? Or would upstart companies be able to just start selling new 172-alike aircraft for 1/4 the price of a cessna?

If it’s allowed for pipeline such work, would that mean I need to get a commercial too? And would I need PPL then? Or can I just do my light sport and then get my commercial?

Good Video!!

This was an excellent informative video! Thank you!

So useful, for a multitude of modelers!

When you say "controllable pitch propellers" are allowed --- do you mean "ground adjustable props" or "constant speed props" (or both)? Frankly, it sure would be nice if the rotax 916 engines (which require constant speed props, I think) can power new light sport airplanes.

I think it’s ok as long as you have proper training

hey j3piper cub friend im mark from san francisco and a 60 yr old private pilot. i went for my class 3 med and although i passed (with flying colors) he refered it to the faa. with my pcp,s help im sure too get the class 3 but if i go with the light sport rules, can i still fly a cherokee 140 two place i have at half moon bay airport (n calif.) I APPRECIATE YOUR FEED BACK. MARK SAN FRANCISCO CALIF. THANKS AND GREAT VIDEOS YOU DO.

I’m curious about the propeller on the 65 H.P. engine. What diameter and pitch was it?

Why do you fly the Cub from the back seat ??? Wouldn't visibility be better from the front and ability to see the instrument panel ???

🛫📖🛬 Been waiting for your next upload. All your labor & 💰 has paid off for you

Love the J3.

A 72" pitch prop would have you going 175 mph! I think you meant something like a 48" pitch

C-85 made a big difference on my Champ. Mine is a dash 8 so I'm still propping. C-85's are real expensive these days, glad I bought mine 30 years ago.

The 85 HP Continental is a nice addition to your J-3 because it doesn't mess up the feel/balance of the airplane like putting really big engines on the old 65 HP trainers. One of the really useful things about all the low powered trainers is that they teach/demand total energy management. I taught in all of them at very high DA airports, midday in summer as well. With heavier pilots and passengers these days they teach energy management well at lower DA as well. I used to say, "If pulling on the stick does not get you the climb you want, try pushing a bit. Level in low ground effect to cruise airspeed on the long runways up high was 50% to my total energy. Pitch to just over the obstruction, as Wolfgang suggests, saved some of that life giving airspeed, and down drainage egress was more free energy. Enjoy the ability to zoom a bit on the extra fuel energy, but don't forget Wolfgang's "Law of the roller coaster." Don't lose all the good energy management techniques the old girl has taught you so far.

I've flown Cubs for years (J-3s, PA-11s, and PA-18s) but never flown a J-3 with a C-85. What is involved with the changeover process, paperwork-wise? An STC, Form 337 or?

that aeronca looks like it was at 67FL? is there yellow overspray on the instrument panel? I cant tell

What, if any, did this change your payload.

Thanks for the ride

Miss your cub videos!

The only thing keeping your wings on are the termites holding hands.

It goes for any hobby or interest, that the Facebook group has about as many intelligent people as the forum, the problem is the Facebook group is more accessible to morons, and they tend to be quite loud, and love to voice their terrible opinions.
