In my career I've had 6 emergencies, 3 of them catastrophic. What you're teaching here can definitely save lives.

[@toprudder]

@markjones7063 Thanks for watching and safe flying to you.

"They say they say the nearer your destination the more your slip sliding away." With apologies to Paul Simon.

[@thedolt9215]

Now that is real flying!

[@toprudder]

Thank you for sharing in our love of flying.

[@2pugman]

On my second flying lesson the instructor did a severe slip and I thought it was the end. He laughed. Lessons were $13 a half hour. 1962. Cub J3

[@hardyr]

I like these lower angles that show your stick and rudder work more. I didn't appreciate how far and tightly I'd have to pull the stick back in the Cub back until I flew with Mark.

[@skylaneav8r902]

The J-3 has a “tell” when it reaches the stall. The bottom door half will always raise up for a second right at the time it quits flying. The Cub’s built-in stall indicator. 😊 I noticed yours perfectly coordinated at the moment of touchdown. Well executed!👍👍

[@toprudder]

Definitely, keep a look out on it out of corner of my eye. Good AOA meter.

[@danledbetter9535]

I learned in a P-11, this brings back memories !

[@richardkerns5213]

My first love the J3 Flew it from Chatham/ Cape Cod CQX over Monomoy and the National Seashore many years ago

[@dongfloppin22]

Used plane for sale, all yellow with a couple brown stains on the seats

[@toprudder]

:)

[@johnlucas2037]

Haha

[@bshaun2]

You're up that high in a plane it's such a beautiful day and still he can't live life without his goddamn phone in his lap

[@55Bentley6]

Many pilots of light and vintage planes have a Velcro patch on their pants and Velcro a tablet/phone there to use a GPS screen or another nav application or the weather or even local aircraft traffic. Relax, he's not taking calls or texting. "They have an app for that "

[@billschlafer]

That is how it's done.

[@toprudder]

Thanks Bill.

[@motionsic]

Wow! That was beautiful. Do you have right rudder pretty much at full deflection on the slip approach?

[@toprudder]

Yes I do!

[@leroyburkett9904]

Back in the 51 I soloed a J3. We were flying of a short field with power lines on one end and trees on the other. We flew Champs, T Craft and the Cub out of that field with no problems. Come in a little high then slip it in. Later I went to the big city and I wanted to continue my flying. All that was available was a 140 Cessna. The instructor was checking me out. Everything went great until the landing. The runway was over 9000 ft. On final I was high so I did what came naturally, I put it in a slip and landed on the numbers. I was talked to very unpleasantly and then introduced to things called flaps.

[@toprudder]

@@leroyburkett9904 I've had similar experiences. Sounds like you had some great aircraft you've flown. I am enjoying exploring the envelop and all the tools I have in my toolbox to fly. I like coming in high because when I flew B-52 patterns, if I were to lose the engine I would not make the field. Safe flying and thanks for sharing my love of flying.

[@jamesbolt7090]

Thanks for the memories.

[@toprudder]

Thanks for watching the video. Sharing the love of this type of flying is my goal and I'm glad it brings good memories.

[@stevenkmiller]

Seems that neither one of them were panicking. Nice.

[@desert-walker]

Was wondering what that guy was doing in the back there to look kind of weird😮

[@williamhopkins4162]

That was a 9.1/2 point landing the older cubs had no flaps so to slow it down the would crab?, push on the rudder making it fly sideways creating An air break sail effect that would slow it down then line up right before Touching down!!

[@toprudder]

Thanks for viewing and the score 😅

[@wernerpanchenko6542]

Soft landing

[@robertdemcher8403]

No f in way

[@kevinmcentee5184]

Are these lads airborne in a coffin or are they trying to get nearer to God

[@electrochubb]

Slipping & slidin.

[@guynoir4733]

I guess the passenger in front reads the gauges and relays it to the pilot behind .

[@toprudder]

@guynoir4733 Pilot in rear typically flies by the seat of the pants and feel on controls.

[@guynoir4733]

@@toprudder Yes I believe so .

[@UncleAL2006]

What is the passenger holding?

[@8AD858D8]

If you're referring to the rear seat pilot, he has the throttle in his left hand and the stick in his right. He appears to be the one performing the slip maneuver.

[@geneszmanski]

Bible

[@currentfaves65]

Appears the guy in the back is actually landing the plane, so probably the throttle?

[@coldlava101]

You couldn’t pay me enough to fly in one of those things. 🫣
