  • As a pilot there will be times that something special happens that you will never forget. Flying the Carbon Cub FX at Orcas Island was one of those moments for me. Join my friend Patrick from www.backcountryaviation.com as he gives me the opportunity to fly my first Taildragger flight from takeoff to landing in tough windy conditions.

    Watch out, big tire flying is addicting!

      Turns out watching big tire flying is also addicting. You and Steveo’s channels are incredibly underrated

    That's not an airplane.....it's a balloon! This is the first time I saw 'ol Steveo nervous. Your instructor, Patrick, is a born flight instructor. He and the Carbon Cub are a perfect match.

    Never seen you nervous before Steve. Fun to push the comfort zone sometimes. Looks like a blast out there.

    17:33 Steve- Alrighty, I've had enough
    Instructor: Nah, let's go again
    Nice job, Steve. Looked pretty gnarly!

    When I first started flying my first flight was a gusty day here in Alaska but my instructor had me let go for 20 second and it smoothed out. I quickly realized getting tense in the wind causes you to make your own turbulence and in the 172 it’s no horrible but you definitely notice a difference when you relax and control the plane but flying TD like the cub for my first time I got tense for a minute and it started getting real bumpy tell I let go breathed and relaxed those 30k gusts get way less dramatic.

      Always find it amusing that more important than any sort of callsign is specifying that your Cub isn't yellow.

    I started flying a PA-11 Super-Cub and I truly love that plane. Flew about 100 hours it that model, until I finally decided to go to a tricycle. Obviously I found much easier to fly the rest of airplanes. But I'm still a fan of any taildragger. Got about 40 hours as a student pilot, and when I was about 20 hours more I started flying it in the rear seat. Much more comfortable, and found it's much easier to land when you are seated at the rear seat. You get an excellent perspective and height-feeling, you can feel clearly how high you are... is great!
    Now it's about 20 years of that time... and watching you flying this and the other Cub... it was quite moving. I love it. Thank you so much for sharing!
    Best of best whishes Steveo!!!!

    Awesome Steve! It was great to see you challenged! My favorite video to date on your channel. Scenery, plane, instructor, conditions, 1.5 second takeoff, slow flight that was incredibly slow, and best of all your reactions to the experience.

    Rock-n-roll! Brought me to mind of my Uncle James Crowley taking me up in his '43 Champ. He was a S.T.O.L. Pilot and didn't even know it! Brandon Airport, 1977.

    Steve! I’ve been watching your videos for quite some time, huge fan. I just wanted to let you know that you have made me want to become a pilot. Found a good flight school near me and after watching our videos and learning what IFR and VFR is and how you work the radio may give me an edge when I take my discovery flight! Just wanted to say thank you!

    THANK you from Colorado, Steveo and Patrick...I took a second to realize how...intimately I was sharing-feeling-the intensity of your first landing. It was like the first time I kissed a girl. Maybe the first time I asked Gretchen to dance at Cotillion when I was in the 6th grade. Wow. Blessings on you both for sharing this event. I truly felt like I was flying with you. Kudos, brothers...

    Reminded me of my student pilot training in a Fleet 80 (Fleet Canuck) and then progressed to the "killer 140" as the Cessna 140 was known due to easy ground looping.

    What a thrill that was Steveo! Reminded me of my Aeronica champ days only back then, I had to hand prop it to start it. This was in Whitefield, New Hampshire over Mt Washington at -20 degrees F and no heat with all the famous winds in that area. I felt all the thrills you had...You done good! Thanks for a very well put together video. You had an excellent backseater!

    I heard a story, from a guy I used to fly with a bit, where an airline pilot was flying in a 152. On the landing, he panicked a bit when he didn't feel the wheels touch at the point they would have touched on the large plane. He did regroup....and land successfully!
    Great job stirring that plane in! LoL 🤣😆 Was a busy controls landing!
