the joy of really flying !! early morning flights in smooth air. Can't beat it !! Beautiful bird you have. Got my PPL in 1965. Flew mostly C140's, Champs, Cubs, 172, 182, P250, Vtail bonanza's. But my all time favorite is the cub. Haven't flown PIC since 1988. Lost the joy of flying because it was becoming to restrictive and now I just can't imagine even wanting to go up. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Joe for taking me back 50 plus years. When I was 19, I soloed in a cherokee 140 at the norwood airport in massachusetts. There was a ww2 navy pilot instructor who ran the ground school, hisb name was Bruce. He told me to get some tail dragger time it would make me a better pilot. I found Ken Lynde at the westboro airport in the same town. Ken was as deaf as a haddock, but a great instructor. I got to solo one of his 65 horse j-3s. A few years later I bought a pa-18-95 and kept at westboro. As the grass was not plowed in the winter, skiis were a must. I pound a pair in Maine. On a saturday, a group of pilots helped me to put them on. They gave me some pointers and I was off ! Landing on lakes , rivers and open fields was wonderful. N7585D is in New Hampshire, I am going to look it up.

I assume it is more than just getting rid of the neutral density filter? 🙂 Thank you for producing wonderful videos to keep the rest of us lowly GA enthusiasts inspired. I have to get my instructor to fly me to one of them grass strips. You are doing a great service to the cause of tailwheel flying. Also the State of New Jersey thanks you for making the state look much lovelier from the air than it seems in rush hour traffic. (Another reason to get around using Cubs...)

Your Cub is gorgeous! Please, if you can tell me… What weight fabric and what fabric finish process is on your Cub? I have a Wag-Aero Cuby that I’d like to recover. The original builder finished it in blue with a Cub yellow lighting bolt, but I don’t care for his choice of colors. I’m an A&P and never did fabric work before, except in school. The original builder used too heavy of a fabric. I forget what exactly, without referencing my notes.

@Bananasssssssss11 ай бұрын
Hey! Thanks for watching. I had a scary experience years ago while idling on ground and after Takeoff at about 20ft the engine stumbled and quit due to Carb Heat. Now I like (when it’s really Humid) to have Carb heat on until after Full Power is applied just to make sure I don’t have any Carb ice. Once I know Carb Ice is not there, I put it to Off. if I needed all available Power I would do a Static RunUp with Carb Heat on and release brakes but with all that runway I like to do it this way.
