that's because it is? lol, its buffeting from the prop wash against the ground, but no this is absolutely fine, find me a horizontal failure on a super cub and we will talk
Propwash turbulence + "reflection" as interaction with wash bouncing off ground into already turbulent backwash.. Also airframe/surface "shock-chatter" over bumps. My RC STOL planes have same "rippling horizontal tailplanes" till airborne & airspeed catches up to propwash speed. With my large diameter, fine pitch props, if I chop the power, I'll lose tail effectiveness, drop nose, wag tail..prop acts like a big solid disk not producing thrust...like "letting off gas in first gear" lurch!
Seems strange that the pilot retracts flaps while still in ground effect? I've never flown a cub though or done off-airport landings/takeoffs so I wouldn't actually know, just curious :)
Me either, but I think they pop the flaps to get a short burst of lift that can get the wheels off the ground since they're on a short gravel bar. But probably they want to get those flags out as soon as possible to build airspeed. I've seen a couple cub pilots describe this technique
Least resistance acceleration, "POP" of flaps to break ground resistance, then use ground effect as accelerating now a little faster, with benefit of no roll resistance + "CLEAN", to maintain skimming altitude up to Vx, shell pull smoothly away. The rolling resistance of ANY wheels is SHOCKING🤔..🤯
"So you want to fly tail wheel aircraft"
My brothers do that with their planes in Alaska! Its super cool!
Watch the horizontal flapping on take off. They say it's OK/ built that way.

Sportys is my favorite pilot shop
I Love Piper and legend cubs
Supercub fun stick
Is that a plug or a tongue stiking out, in the bottom inlet under the prop? :P
More like umbrella...
So solid/liquid particles not ingested into carburetor air intake..
Hi I need help setting up and configuring my X56 System in X-Plane 11
what’s the name of this plane
Piper Super Cub.
Makes me think of Jim Tweeto . Rip and soar with the eagles sir. I am sure you are watching over all of the young pilots
That plane looks like it's sticking its tongue out!!!

Why did it make the Minecraft water splashing sound when it landed on the water
