Every single time I see you bush guys land it never ceases to amaze me. Out funking standing flying. I love it
I never get tired of your video's Greg.
Cheers from Canada
I’m diggin’ the music too!! Looking forward to the “mods” video. I’ve always loved Cubs! The first flying model I built as a kid with my dad was a J-3
Can't get enough Greg! It's great seeing the same BRLP areas shot in the HD! Keep it up
Thank you
Great video, I’m impressed. Most guys don’t tell the truth on ground speed. I make a living with a Maule and a cub and I’m always touching down in the high 40’s in a working environment loaded. At altitude much higher. Appreciate the honest prospective greg. Keep them coming.
Thanks 👍
So true. In this age of everyone thinking a Cub is a helicopter it is refreshing to hear someone telling it how it is.
Jesus dude, your wheels cleared those big logs by inches! Great flying as always and thanks again for great (and now clear) video!
Thanks!
looking forward to your cub development! Nice to see you posting videos, again!
Awesome video that was some amazing flying. I hand prop my Luscombe out of necessity as well and know how much of a pain in the ass it can be when I flood it accidentally!
Thanks for taking the time to post this amazing footage. I’m a low time private pilot with an experimental but I fly it lot (N6921T) and I just really appreciate the content. You are very methodical and safe and I’ve learned a heck of a lot watching your stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it! keep flying a lot that is how you get to be excellent at hitting your mark and knowing what you can do and can't do!
Great video! That was amazing! I can’t believe how close those logs were to your gear. 😥 whew!
Thanks for all the the time and effort you put into these videos! Keep up the great work.
Glad you like them!
Awesome video! I can't help but notice 25 karen's thumbed down this video. Literally what is not to like?
Please keep posting! would love to see the mods! I got a pa 12 and a skywagon. Thinking of selling the 12 for a supercub.
P.S. I see you turned your prop backwards to clear the engine towards the end of the video. I'm not a mechanic nor an expert on the subject - but I don't think you're supposed to do that if you have a dry vaccuum pump? you can break the veins or something. google "why not to turn prop backwards"
Must be a blast hammering the throttle on that ZO6. My old C4 is still a lot of fun. The flying videos are off the hook as usual. I think I'm really doing something when I make it to Johnson Creek. Love the drone shots, thanks for the video.
Yeah, It puts a smile on my face and I still feel young! ha
Liked and subscribed. Soloed in Champ when I was sixteen in 1971. Instructor allowed me to go to airport and fly if my mom a pilot private pilot said it was OK. Then would hand prop plane, remove chalks and fly. Landing check list included dragging runway to check that neighbor's cows had not escaped.
LOL, covers his Corvette indoors. Gonna wear that paint out!
It gets dusty and even when I go well over a hundred the dust still stick:))
Awesome videos man. Great to see new stuff. Been a fan since the first clip of BRLP I saw in the Northern Lights Avionics shop at Merrill field in Anchorage. This was back in 2012, just starting my private certificate. Now I’m early down the rabbit hole with 2 Cessna 120s and a Mooney M20E. I have learned to love and respect the back country in the 120s. I have to be very careful and picky about where I choose to take the little birds. They are cheap and capable enough to get great experience in, though. I am forced to pay close attention to energy management with the stock C-85. Perhaps one day I’ll build up a cub or something. Until then, I’ll enjoy journey with what I have! Cheers!
Thank you , Thanks for following along.
Like the editing, and the drone shots! Great job. Love your videos
Thank you, wished I had this stuff years ago.
Beautiful area. Love the video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man this video was awesome! Loving the camera angles! Really cool to hear your description on each location. Glad I found this channel!
Awesome, thank you!
@@mauleguy Would you be able to provide GPS coordinates of your playground? would be Interesting to see if it is flyable in Microsoft Flight sim 2020
@@speedyfpv7104 sorry this has to say a secret
@@mauleguy Ha ha understandable.
I'd be moving some of the drift wood after I landed.
Great video!!!
Great video quality and production improvement. Really great content.
Much appreciated!
Loving it. Thankyou!
Thank you
Great video, Love the Moab Utah hat!
Thanks! Picked it up when I was dirt biking a few years ago. Brought it back for the wife but it ends up on my head now!
Fantastic video, beautiful and educational
My 2CW, I hot start as follows on my O-320 160hp. One full pump on the throttle, Mixture in Idle Cut Off, make sure the mags are OFF, pull through 4 blades, set a little throttle, then LH mag on, hand swing, usually starts straight away, as soon as it starts, reach in and push the mixture in before it dies (4 or 5 seconds) Added safety feature too with the Mixture in ICO, if it was to get away when it starts, it will die after a second or two
First time view, will admit I was a bit put off by the intro with Vet, House & Gate. “ jealousy for sure“ but some awesome flying video and great info
Always awesome to watch. I don’t fly much with my little 100 go Kitfox 4b but great fill in time watching your videos. I have some fabric repair to do but have no experience.
Last year my neighbor was complaining about his Lang tail wheel on his PA 15 so I told him I had a rebuilt Scott 3200 that I would sell him and help him install I could not believe how heavy the tail
I ended up hurting my shoulder while trying to lift up the tail on his PA 15 then I ended up really screwing up my shoulder prop starting his airplane since it does not have any electrical on it either it took nine months for my shoulder to get in shape again. So I think I’ll stick with a starter
Your history looks parallel to mine except for motorcycles that I started after go carts. Plus I’m in a cabin on a homestead with cow field shared strip. The 71’ LT1 was my favorite vette’. I almost traded a 71’ FJ40, that I put a 425 Olds in, for the vette with a 427 and tock crusher 4 speed! Ended up with 4 seat razor, 73’ CJ5 with 304 and a Kitfox4 b. All in a cabin in the Olympics on the north end of the Penninsula looking across to Canada! Love those videos and wish I had enough hours in to use my bush plane as designed. I only have about 40 hr in.
Thanks for watching!
The two dislikes: "Not short and tight enough." Or on the other hand: " Pavement, with a white line going down the center, and with a control tower is the only way to fly."
The drone shots like you say are very helpful in getting a better perspective of what all is going on, and they look like fun to fly also. I appreciate you stating the temp and the field elevation, if it's high and hot, brag about it, if cool and at sea level, fess up!
“You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”.”
I make these for myself so if a few think they suck I can live with that.
my 3 year old loves your footage. awesome job editing man.
Awesome
An occasional pain in the arse for a huge payoff. STOL flying on a flat calm day in beautiful country.
Dude your living my dream
Nice work Greg. So cool to this!
Thanks Gina
I don't know anything about aviation but this is fascinating.
Top shelf as always.
Thanks again!
Bro. I would use the screen record feature that iPads come with...and have a decent aviation app goin....that would show a lot more than just your speed .. and it’s a free easy way to show use some cool stats.....just an idea...love your channel. Like the wAy you fly.! My dad owned a scout in the 1990s. He would fly us to some kool places and just had a great time as a little kid in wasilla ,AK ..he took no risks tho ,by the book type of pilot..he had a state job and flying was just a hobby ,,but I like your style. Kinda a risk taker but on the safer side ....thanks for sharing I look forward to more !
Jj
wow!! awesome video!! man I don't know what you do for work to be able to afford living your life like that? whatever it is you definitely have it figured out. thanks for the video, fly safe.
Really enjoying the video’s, where are you located? Very beautiful,wow.
Thank you very much! Pacific Northwest (Washington State)
Toutle river area?
Thanks Greg for the monster video package. Glad you are adding new video too. Looks like a great place to swing some flies with my switch rod. Building now so it will be a while till I get to explore.
How do you deal with wires that may be in places on the river?
No wires on this river, I did fly over a few fly fisherman that day. I think they are fishing for big Dolly Varden. I have tried without success, need to go with someone that knows what they are doing.
We enjoyed. Kuul video 📹. ✌
Glad to hear that
Can't wait for the changes video. Reminds of a book from years ago, "Speed with Economy ". Great info. Have you tried other airfoils?
Nope, USA 35B is the only airfoil on cub type airplane I have flown.
Why are you not doing Slats on this cub? Do Slats and the bigger P flaps work good together?
Slats only work at high angles of attack, you need to be able to see where you are going landing off airport around crap on the ground. If it is on the front of the wing= high angle of attack, back of wing = flatter deck angle, better visibility.
Always a great watch Greg! Keep em coming!
You got it
Greg, have a look at Olibuilt's video the speed on display is a setting in the GoPro from what I understand. Great video
I've been thinking adding angle of incidence on my red slatted Cub. What are the main goals and effects? Do you think it would be worth it?? Thanks again, and awesome footage
The angle of incidence is a visual thing, the airplane will fly at a higher angle of attack but where it is set stock you can't see as well. Really your wing is just closer to a stall with the same sight picture. If you change it too much you will run out of trim without changing the horizontal pivot point. The 1/2" change in angle of incidence that I am talking about amounts to about 1 degree of change so it is not going to be mind shattering. The proper way is to build it into the fuselage and include the changes to horizontal stabilizer. You can then make more major changes but the down side to it is, you can get the airplane very close to a stall with good visibility. That is where the slats you are using I think would benefit.
Oh yeah, liked the vid. It’s -22 outside so that’s why I’m on here & too old to fly in these temps anymore. Mines Crystal Red Metallic, ‘08🤙🤙
nice to be warm!
In which state this video is taking place? Fantastic video, fantastic area !! Thanks for sharing man
I dunno if increasing wing incidence will help,much considering the big tires, and the 3's gear, your squat angle is pretty high and you can pull a pretty high aoa as is. Now, a Fowler type flap mod and vg's would do a heap though. Perhaps take the tapered bow out of the wing tips with a couple extra ribs, leaving it truncated or finishing with Hoerner's. Your a Maule guy, not a cub dude. Hope to see you build another Maule one day, and do a video doc on it. that would be one hell of an interesting video. Bushwacker was one hell of a bird.
I have had a big wing Cub, not as much fun to fly.
Mô hình phi cơ rất ấn tượng cao và đầy sự tinh tế cao nhất đỉnh trong năm tuyệt vời nhất hay lắm cảm ơn chúc bạn sức khỏe và hạnh phúc.
9:10 pure gold !
Very interesting and excellent footage! Have you ever thought about to instal vortex generators?
I have VG's
Am writing from over in France. Bonjour! Really enjoying your vids. Ponders to oneself, how do I sell the idea to the wife and young kids that Daddy needs to build a STOL........ and at some point getting a licence might not be a bad idea. We all got'a dream. Thx Mauleguy for the inspiration and taking me along for the ride
Your welcome
Looking forward to your mod videos on the cub. I just fitting VG,s to my plane but looking forward to seeing what your wing mods will do for you to. Nice video Greg. What engine do you have in your cub? O-320?
O-320 wide deck with 10-1 pistons
@@mauleguy Greg has anyone fitted an O-320 B1A to a cub? Wondering what the added effect of the VP prop would be. Granted its a bit heavier but surely with today's Carbon props around the advantage of the fine pitch must outway the slight weight gain??
I'm Jealous Greg, the RWD cars get put away around here usually at the end of October. We currently have a foot of snow on the ground, another snowstorm blowing in today (couldn't fly this morning due to winds) and trucks on the ice behind my house with no better weather in sight. I think it may be time to ditch Wisconsin. Do you guys usually have good flying weather most of the year, or did you just happen to have a nice day? As always, great content, and I enjoy your videos.
Lots of rain here, but every once in a while it is pretty good during the winter.
A fancy house in the middle of nowhere we got boathouse the size of your shack and not just a few thousand a couple hundred thousand in muskoka yours truly Kevin O.
So...change the incidence, better flaps, and a lightweight starter and lithium battery...
Awesome video! Loving your stuff man. Do you have all your dvd's in stock in your store? I don't have any of them...yet.
All videos in stock.
@@mauleguy Just had my wife order me the Monster combo! Thanks! Can't wait to watch them.
Hi Greg, inspiring video! Regarding your plan, do you ever consider the in-line thrust mod? Also curious do you have an AH in the panel? Any thoughts on including one or not? Much thanks!
I have had Thrustline mod on my last two cubs. The first one it was built into the engine mount which made it not noticeable in sight picture (dropped engine 2", carbon cub engine mount) the other was not dropped and I hated the visibility over the nose. Not sure what AH is, I am guessing angle attack finder of some sort. Worthless for me, I don't need it. I know what the airplane is doing by how I feel in the seat of my pants also sight picture over the nose.
@@mauleguy I should have been more clear, I was referring to an attitude indicator, something like a g5.
Honest question. Why not install a starter vs hand prop?
Those Alaskan Bush wheels will do it.
I noticed when you take off you use partial flaps and right near lift off you go to full flaps. Is that so you can gain forward speed?
just to break ground and get in the air then I go back to zero as soon as possible
Great video Greg! Curious why you don’t add a lightweight starter? I know that aircraft with no electrical system and the old save weight part but since you have electrics I was just curious. I know your system is more reliable as well 😂 . Any other reason I’m missing?
Good question! 10 pounds on the nose is 10 pounds in the wrong place so I will keep doing it without until I am to old:))
48mph at touchdown how on earth are you getting stopped? I'm on 850x6's so I'd assume the big wheels and big tires help with that quite a bit? I realize my braking isn't as efficient as yours, just curious about the big tires and the differences they make from someone who actually knows. Excited to see the progression of the wing mods.
All brakes without nosing it over, tires probably help a lot big big foot print
Great video Greg. Why wouldn't the P-STOL flaps be #1 mod cost aside?
You are probably correct for what I want, but it is the most expensive. I am actually interested in making each change and seeing the result. I knew from the start that this was going to be a Super Cub that landed at 41-42 at sea level light without changing anything. Having flown other light weight Cubs. I have a couple friends telling me there cubs land at 34 mph with a stock wing and the mods I am talking about doing. I actually am skeptical of that number. My last cub was a big wing with 110" long double slotted flaps at it landed at 37 no wind so we will see.
What type of license do I need to fly something like that and where do I get it or how do I get it what am I looking at price wise
Why remove the washout? What does that do for you? How much more likely is a tip stall without it? Another great video, BTW. Thanks for sharing!!
Like I said I was going to test it. The theory is all parts of the wing produce equal lift now at same attitude. I checked my wing yesterday and it was set to almost zero already, I thought I had but could not remember for sure. It is now zero as I took out the slight amount that was there. This could become a big discussion and I would suggest looking to the internet for more answers if interested. There are a lot of people out there that are smarter and better at putting things in writing then me. Lots of information on Supercub.org if you type in search function. You are welcome and glad you are enjoying them!
how squirelly do things get with the wing washout tightened up?
Not at all really, if you take Dihedral out the airplane becomes less stable. Washout is for wing to stall in a progressive way. Don't stall and you don't have an issue.
Just curious Greg .. have all your bush planes been carburated or injected ? Does it matter ? Or is it mostly the way I do things , that is its whatever came with what I happen to buy lol
All my airplanes have been carbureted except the current Bushwacker 2.0
After flying Bushwacker 2.0 for moose season and around 400 hours I am not really sure it matters. If you want to hand prop it yes but otherwise I would say probably not much. It always started with no issues once you figure out the magic steps for your aircraft.
Nice👍
Thank you! Cheers!
We should get together. I hand propped my cub for 20 years, got the earth x battery and starter. I about wore myself out. Didn’t see any performance difference with the little extra weight. Nice country you fly in. Where’s home? What do you do for a living? And nice toys. Good video. Thanks for sharing.
I live in La Center WA. I am self employed, small CNC machine shop.
Wow! Scary ,!
Watching bush flying videos I sometimes wish there was a camera mounted at the passengers eye level in the airplane. I think they might be the most realistic view
ah, good idea but that does put it in the back seat
What is the absolute top speed of that dude?
Where's that location?
GoPros make it look longer?! Holy schnikees!!
Yes they do, yeah that one was pretty exciting!
@@mauleguy Greg, your flying(landing really) is phenomenal! Your calm demeanor, casualness and the way you understate your amazing skill and places you land is mind boggling to in training student pilot as myself. And super fun to watch!
Add slats to leading edge?
Probably not but the other stuff for sure
Enjoyed the video on another note, are you using Davinci Resolve to edit by any chance? The quality of the water and stones is very pixelated. Same for the reflection under you fuselage. Really does a disservice to your new cameras. This seems to be a trend with aviation videos and poor H264/5 output of Davinci. It struggles with moving water, stones etc. I did find a workaround though so I'm just making the assumption you using DR.
Notice how on your take offs there's loads of detail and the moment you move detail lost and is a blocky mess. This is not your cameras.
FCP X I am running it in H264 because I have a slow upload connection. I also am only shooting in 1080 for the same reason. It could be better but it would take days and days to upload. I am DSL out in the country with only 1 option. I am not sure what I can do with what I have, I also may not be doing it correct for all I know....
I can't even watch it in HD where I live are you sure you can where you live. When I play the export on Quicktime it looks awesome on my new 27" Imac . Which is the file I am uploading.
@@mauleguy No problem, the issue isn't h264 it's more the motion estimation of h264 codec. Ie you should be able to tweak it. Whether I use Sony Vegas, Final Cut or Davinci I export a large lossless file, then run it through handbrake or ffmpeg. In the end you can end up with a really really small file with superb quality. I was watching this in FHD on my TV. I'll download your highest quality versions in the morning (Africa tz) and check on my PC and verify. Thanks for replying. This way I can verify whether it's RUclips or the source ;).
@@df3yt Thanks for the feedback, I am not as tech savvy as I am maybe proficient as a pilot. Any help to get me where I want to be is appreciated. You may have to give more details about how I do it. Thank you
@@mauleguy Hi Greg, I send a contact request through your website.
Sir! You need a Hughes 500C👨✈️
Boy oh boy if I could afford one that would be my choice.
Just contact @Trent Palmer for correct camera settings for what you're doing. He's a big fan of yours if you haven't already met.
Yeah I need to pick his brain a little on some of that, I am sure it would help
мужик поставь уже стартер что-ли пока руки целы.😁
Rich boys toys.
Sooner or later you are going to break your plane...
Why always hand prop?
My guess is the back country calls for simplicity.
I will assume you don't realize there is no starter on this airplane. I will give the answer based on that. You can take a little more then 10 pounds off the nose by not having a starter. On a Cub it is 10 pounds in the correct place to loose 10. It use to be a lot more, but with light weight starters and earth X battery it is not as big of weight savings as it use to be.
I have a full electrical system just less the required equipment to start. I use an Earth X battery that would start the airplane so I don't save any weight there.
@@mauleguy I learned something new. Thank you.
Your assumption was correct. And thank you for taking the time to reply in a kindly manner.
Great videos 👍🏻
Guy likes to show off his toys.
