Great stuff buddy! Tail wheel flying is some of the most rewarding and fun flying I have ever done! Glad to see you enjoying it too!
Funny: Just saw this vid on my YT subscription page. Read something about a cub in the title and directly assumed it was one your vidoes...
Second look: Wait.. FIRST cub flight....oh it's the other Steve who is flying a cub :D
Hell ya, flightchops!
FlightChops I agree!!
i sub to you both with FC i enjoy to learn like a noobie, but SK1 i learn more and find the content much more enjoyable. but still id like to say a big thank you fr your uploads
I'd like to explore tailwheel flying, if anything, purely for the extra types that open up to you. I'll admit though, I'm a little intimidated by them - all these groundloop videos n stories are a little offputting.
Learned to fly in a J3 Cub when I was 15. What great times they were,will never forget. I am now 89
reallly thats awsome man
Great memories.
J3 club here. Dad taught me at 11. Shhhh dont tell momma. I soloed then.
@@liannkeykaighin more like don't tell the feds
Holy smokes!! You're old!!
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!
Outstanding flight! My uncle, who passed last year, worked for NASA in the 60's and lived in Satellite Beach, Fl. He owned several cubs over the years and I would always look forward to a flight with him when we visited as kids. Thanks for a wonderful bit of nostalgia, Steve.
That was wonderful, thank you so much Steve!
People often dream about being an airline pilot - to fly something big and powerful. But it looks like the most basic stick-and-rudder small and slow airplanes seem to bring the most joy.
Glad I came across this video. The first time I flew was in a J3. That was about 65 years ago and it was just like this flight. I will never forget my first time in a J3.
Wow! What a real sweet treat this was Steveo. Especially flying with the doors open!
Thanks Steve, Jack & Jack Jr.
A Cub has no battery, no radio and no starter. No electricity at all except for the magnetos (spark ignition).
@@neilaldenarmstrong9806 So if she stalls there’s no starting it back up?
Man! What an awesome video. Just beautiful start to finish. I could almost feel that warm Florida breeze rushing around me after you took off. Just great.
I love the Cub. 19 minute video went by fast. I'm jealous!
David Adams soooooo jealous!
Awesomely brilliant video guys - thanks for sharing Steve, great idea! Such simple, basic flying. And the two Jack's have done a super job maintaining that great little Cub in tip-top condition. All - give yourselves a pat on the back!
Thanks SteveO & Jack ! Great flight, thanks for the ride !
I’m so glad I’m not the only pilot afraid of heights! Great video. God bless you and wishing you safe landings.
Sweet flight, Steveo. I did the Cub orientation years ago flying overhead of Johnson Space Center many years ago. I was truly awesome to do in a Cub.
Great flight, Steveo! I first saw flying up close in a grass strip airfield, and the Cubs were plentiful. Sonewhere there's a picture of me at about 4 years old,standing on the front seat of a Cub, holding the stick. Loved this!
I love watching your videos, they ar e very entertaining and informative. I usually don't comment, however, this CUB video and the music was perfect. Loved it. Thanks
What a beautiful plane! That was a really enjoyable flight, with such awesome scenery! Thanks for all your work! Really enjoying your channel!
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.
My first taste of aviation was in a beautiful red cub 30 years. You never forget your first. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent video mate. Thanks for Sharing. I've had 2 quarter scale RC Cubs and they're still my favorite aircraft to fly.
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 :-)
Kuul story. Lest we forget!!!
I looked it up, and according to Wikipedia he shot down the plane with a colt 45 and won the distinguished flying cross for it.
Good post, I'm a retired pilot with around 10K hrs tail wheel time, mostly in Ag Planes. Those J-3's are great little airplanes. Just remember that with no radios you have to keep your head on a swivel....you should try to do more of this!
No reason not to have a radio on board these days. None.
Lovely! Back to basics flying, there. Keep up the great work!
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.
Steveo1! You’re the reason I got back into flight training and got to experience a J3 for the first time a few days ago at Jack Browns seaplane base (actually just around the corner from KFHB right now!). What an experience! Thanks for the inspiration and all the great videos bud!
Awesome man! Can't wait to get my tail wheel done.
Well I will be the first to say something
I have been taken up in a Cub, years ago. What a joy -- you can see down on both sides and it's like being on a flying motorbike. A sensation never to be forgotten.
loved this video! I love seeing other types of flying on your channel because your method of capturing it is unmatched in my opinion. I hope you find a way to do more general aviation stuff!
Steve, thank you so much for this video, boy does this bring back memories. I got my student pilot and solo in a J-3 ( 1964).. I felt as if it where me sitting in the rear seat. great!!!
Larry, i was a little late, did the same in 1965 at Kassel-Waldau/Germany
what amassed me, it was like my last flight in one was yesterday.
A Piper Cub is like a good joke, it NEVER goes out of style! !! !!!
Wonderful. Thanks Steve.
Thank you Steve! Brought back memories of my time in C.A.P. as a kid. We had a cub we used for search and rescue. I got to fly along as observer a couple of times....so fun!!
Nebraska Wing, Civil Air Patrol! I'm not a pilot, but watching this makes my mouth water, if you know what I mean.
Awesome! If you are ever in the Reno/Tahoe area and want to go do some backcountry and bush flying let me know, we have a great group here and I would be happy to have you along. And if you thought that cub flight was fun you'd love flying with us! Keep up the great vids
Love the Piper Cub! My first log book entry was in a Cub. Second entry was a Boeing Stearman! Helps to have your dad and former crop duster as your flight instructor with access to these awesome airplanes.
+CptDave102 that's awesome that you and your dad are able to enjoy many good memories together!
THANK YOU GENTLEMEN FOR THE VIDEO. A VERY SIMPLE PLANE BUT THAT'S WHAT'S GREAT ABOUT IT. PEACE AND BLESSINGS!🇺🇲✌️👍🏻
What an awesome ride, thanks for taking us along Steveo. Imagine flying this very same aircraft low and slow, just like Steve and his friend are doing in the video, over the skies of Europe or the Pacific during WWII as a forward air controller, directing artillery fire from above. Talk about having guts, those Army and Marine Corps pilots needed them in abundance. No dodging enemy fire with their Cub's lighting quick speed!
I looove Piper Cub and any other old taildraggers. Here in Brazil, still have many used for instructions, but models built by Neiva or CAP (local industries). It's a plane that make you a really pilot.
Alessandro Hudson j
Boy that brings back a lot of memories. That's the plane (1946 version) I learned to fly in 24 years ago when I was 19 years old. You had an upgraded plane with an intercom. :) Learning to fly without an intercom was rather interesting. We used to reach up and grab the aileron cables and bank it that way when bored. :) Oh, and it's also the first aircraft I ever flew backwards in.
Shawn Rose can I hear that story? Seems interesting.
thanks for sharing your Cub video! loved the simplicity of it, definitely going to look for one of these one day when I can afford it! thanks again!
I wasn't much of a Cub fan until now! It was such a great video to watch and learn. I enjoyed the pilots tutorial throughout the video. The scenery and open cockpit made it feel like I was really there enjoying the landscape and flight. Now I understand the love of the Cub.
It's hard to beat the fun of Cub flying.
My dad had the same plane, color and all. Brings back memories
My mom learned to fly in that one....1941 at the age of 19....100 years ago now.... :-( Sad!
Really enjoyed this one! Great job, can't wait to get a flight in a cub Some day
Have enjoyed your videos for a long time now, this one is up there with the best!
Welcome to the world of tail dragging.
Aha I always go to the beach there. Nice to know that you fly out here man.
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.
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.
A great little plane to enjoy on a nice day, They're not fast but they will got you there. Nice video, well done.
Thanks....brought back so many GREAT memories. My Uncle and five of his WW2 Air Corps buddies bought a PC together....
Spent many a happy hour in that little yellow bird!!
Fantastic airplane -- terrific ride! Thanks for taking us along Steve!
Oh, and who the heck clicks the 'dislike' button on a video like this?? Drunk, or just 'plane jealous'?? ;)
+Dennis Rainwater thanks Dennis! Whoever dislikes this video is not my friend. :)
What?!! Where that 19 minutes?! That went So fast! Nice video bro!
My dad had a 1948 Piper PA-11 (like a J-3, but with the cylinder heads enclosed in the cowling and an 85 hp engine). Watching this video brought back very fond memories of flying "low and slow" with my dad. Saturday morning fly-in breakfasts were awesome fun. A sunny Saturday morning, conditions CAVU, the smell of leather, avgas and dope (paint, not drugs!) and watching the runway drop away from the airplane is the most fun anyone can have.
Happy to see you back Steveo haven't missed a single video, and am always looking forward to the next, always entertaining, I live vicariously through yours and Flightchops and others, the real videos dwarf the digital recreations with green screens, games etc. Always looking forward to the next video. One Tango Bravo has no reason to be jealous!
Grass IS for taildragers, much Easier on the tires 🤓 all the tail wheel planes I have had were at Grass air strips.
AND, I always said, the airplanes ✈️ I flew for a Living COULD have a Nose wheel... But the planes I flew for FUN,
on my days off, HAD to have a tail wheel. With the exception of my First two jobs, they were in DC-3's and BE-18's.. 😎
This plane is so slow it gets bird strikes from *behind.*
KastaRules Bah-Dum-Tish!!
Nope, bruised seagulls dial the FAA and complain about Cub strikes.
😂😂😂🤣
Lmao
Hey. Watch it.😂😂
Hi Steven, watched all your videos! This up there with the best.
Welcome to the world of tail dragging.
Steve.
Nothing beats flying a J3 open door early in the morning on a warm summer day. Awesome! Last time I flew one I did like 20 landings because it was so much fun.
Hey Steveo
That's one of my favorite planes too. But I'll rather have it with a starter. Hand prop is dangerous. And a radio would be nice too.
Beautiful video! Thank you for sharing!
Great video Steve! It's always a different perspective when we get to fly for fun and not just flying for work(which is still fun! I mean come on it's flying). Any time I get in an aircraft that does not have a mixture knob or condition lever and still has a prop, I know it's going to be a fun flight.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO! I got my pilots license at St. Augustine airport in the early 1970's. I soloed in a J-3 Cub and then moved into the Cessna 150 for my required flight training for the check ride. I even got to do some aerobatics in a Citabria! A double shot of nostalgia! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Very nice thanks for sharing !
You should do a video of flying a ultralight like a quicksilver sport 2S or similar type !
was also thinking the same thing.
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.
What a pleasant video to watch. Thank you all for sharing that with us.
Good to hear I'm not the only one to feel uneasy on tall buildings, everyone laughs at me "dude you have pilot licence and are scared of heights?". Yep it's unnatural to be high and not moving.
Lots of people in comment section talking about that. I thought I was one of the few. Worst experience for me was in a glass elevator and about the 20th floor, I had to stare at the door from one foot away and not look out. My friends said, "What's wrong with you?" At the top, we got out and I forced myself to look over the wall for about 1 second and had to get away.
This is flying
Of course it flies, it's a plane
Love the music you add during flight and around the ending!
Love this AC
That's so funny you just came out with this video because I recently got invited to go fly in a Cub and was going to make a video out of it. Scenery isn't going to be as beautiful as Florida though! Hope I have as much fun as you did.
Fly and film it! Its such a fun experience.
Don't film it. Just sit and enjoy - be in the moment, soak it in.
Bunjamin27 that kind of becomes a non-option whenever you start a RUclips channel. The trade off is you get to re-live and share the experience with others. It'll still be enjoyable though with the GoPros running.
I'm sure there are plenty of people on youtube who manage. If I want to re-live a flight, I go flying.. but to each their own. If someone doesn't want to be in the moment and experience aviation/flying and enjoy that moment, it truly is their loss. Imagine if the Wright Brothers (or countless others) stopped every 10 seconds to take a fucking selfie - progress would eventually slow to a halt. Good day.
Steve and Critical - I'm only an (obsessed) enthusiast but I got to ride along in a Cub a couple of years ago. I still tell new friends about the awesome experience! We had a bit more power so upon rotating the PIC turned right, giving me an unimpeded view of the ground as we climbed!
hi Steve ?
Nice Flight Steve..! It´s amazing to see you fliying Low and Slow.... Love Piper Cub. It´s also great to see you with FlightChops working or fliying together.. Thumb up..!!
Great flight.My favorite. Thanks for the flight.
Certificated without an engine-driven electrical system = No Transponder Required = No Show on TCAS = Lets all still look out the window for other aircraft (cubs and gliders and paragliders and ultralights)!
+sopilote56 great point Stuart! You can forget that there are other aircraft flying around that won't be talking, or showing up on the TCAS at some uncontrolled airfields. It's a good reminder to always look out those windows!
On a recent cross country with a student we had traffic opposite direction that ATC called 500 ft *below* us and our ADSB agreed. The aircraft passed 200 feet *above*. Don't trust the traffic alerts. They can be wrong. The eyes belong outside the aircraft at all times!
In middle Europe pretty much every cubs, gliders, UAs and paragliders are equipped with "FLARM", which can be added like a GPS in a car. Runs for about 10h on one battery...as a glider pilot myself, i refuse to fly one without FLARM.
+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.
I agree 100%. However, for safety sake, there is no reason to fly without a radio.
Two things: About 70 percent of licensed pilots have acrophobia, or fear of open heights. And check out that tach; goes "backwards." Nice flight, nice video. My son and I fly a 46 Champ, very similar. I urge you to get your tailwheel endorsement; makes us all better pilots. :) Stop by 48X (Airport Manatee) if you're ever in the area; we'll go up in the Champ.
I am a career pilot and have always been afraid of heights since a child. More specifically I am terrified of ladders! I can not go 20 feet up a ladder. Yet never once have I felt any vertigo from an airplane of all kinds. Shows how irrational these phobias are!
I think the key word for me is "open heights".
As long as I feel secure I enjoy it - like in a plane
but on the edge of a cliff - different story.
+Xiderpunk
I am a pilot too. It is not a fear of heights plaguing you, it is a fear of falling, big difference. I can fly a cub with the door open, perform aerobatics in a Citabria all with zero concern, but get me on a dangerous ledge or roof and I become scared to death. The fear of falling is a much worse phobia than the fear of heights.
good thought .....I had not thought of it that way.
Yep. Fear of open heights. My Cub I’m building is going to have *two* doors... so I’m definitely going to test my fears.
Tach going backwards is typical of small old Continentals (A-65/75, C85/80, etc). The O-200 and up have the tach drive going the other way.
Very cool! I've seen this Piper flying before!
amazing quality, great talking detail and funny flight!!! tnx for uploading!!
hello iam from KOREA and I'm 11ears old my dream is pilot
열심히 공부하고 결코 포기하지 마라.
네 감사해요~
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.
thanks where you from
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.
How would you start the airplane if you were on your own?
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!
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.
Excellent - when I went out and got my tail wheel endorsement, it totally made flying fun again. It's not always about flying high and fast!
Thanks for sharing.!! Flying with the doors open, awesome.!
The only Cub I've flown is made by A2A - but this one has better frame rates.......
David Lawrence Hahahaha! True dat :P
Rule 1 of cub flight: you don't talk about cub flight
Cuz it sucks so bad
I loved flying the J3 CUB, from back seat. Now 79 years old - great memories.
That was great. Thanks for posting.
If that's your dream airplane - why don't you have one?
+Bunjamin27 Hopefully someday in the future. It would be fun to take up friends and viewers to show them the beauty of what it's like flying in such a fun little airplane.
steveo1kinevo I want a Carbon Cub
soroush valim the Carbon Cub is awesome! I think I have watched every video from CubCrafters.
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 :)
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
Trip down memory lane. My grandfather took me flying in a J3 Cub as a kid. Great airplane!
Enjoyed that slow flight. Thank you!
Awesome flight, thanks for the ride.👍
Now THIS is flying. Great work guys.
That was really cool to see a classic like that
Now imagine flying this in the swiss Alps ! Glad you could discover the joy of pure simple basic flying !
Awesome ... I love flying the Cub!
Such a cool airplane. In 1970, I did my training in a Cessna 150 & a Grumman TR2. As soon as I got my license, I checked out in a Cub which was the most fun flying out of the three. I always had to prop it myself. Left hand on the doorway, left foot hooked over the landing gear and the right-hand propping from behind. The tandem, stick tail dragger was so much fun. But then the owner didn’t rent it out anymore. Great video. Brings back memories. Thanks!
I watched your video where you used "I turn my Camera on"
for the back round music ... Loved the song and loving all your posts. You've inspired me beyond words. Thank you. Mwaaaah!!
started flying 1965 in germany with a cup, thank you for the vid, great memories
I've got about 1,800 Hours in Combat Aircraft (Navy) yet my fondest memories of flying were landing at a grass strip in Florida with a friend of mine. There was a little yellow Cub just like the one in this video doing touch and goes. We walked to the edge of the strip and stuck out our thumbs. Pilot stopped and gave us each a ride; twice around the pattern. Awesome!
Never forget that. Door tops open. I felt like a bird. Great memory!
Thanks for this video. Really brought that time in Florida to mind.
Fantastic!!
That was a great video! Thanks for sharing, Steveo!
Ahh that was sooo awesome...I was getting excited just listening to you tell us how you were preparing to pilot this dream machine..!! Lol..but in the sky it looked amaaazing, !!!
Thanks very muchly..😊😊😊🛩️🛩️🛩️🛩️
Flew my first solo on a 1951 PA-19 (military version of the cub) in 1991: this brought back lots of memories , thanks Stevo
This brings back memories of my dad's J-3. It got flipped by a small twister during a storm, but my dad passed away before we could get it back into airworthy shape. He framed the cub emblem which I still have to this day. Happy flying guys. :)
