A Major (B-52 pilot) told us stories of his training in Texas where they'd fly light planes like Cubs backward like touch and go's.... Take off into the wind, raise the nose and let the wind take it backward, touch down where he lifted off and on & on they'd go.

    That was interesting. I remember watching a Stinson 108 trying to leave after the Mojave Air Race in 1977 taking off and climbing in a hover without any forward progress, finally turning downwind, at which point it looked like he had lit Jato units - he just couldn't make any forward progress in the headwind! BTW, I was glad to see you are flying Harvey, I flew into Prescott in my 310C about 20 years ago and parked next to him on the transient ramp, and thought the big rabbit on thr tail was cool. IIRC, at that time the phrase "Wabbit Twansit" was painted below the bunny. I didn't note the tail number back then, but the plane stuck in my memory' ,especially as my C model is my favorite of the 310s I have owned over the years (now going on 23 years with it).

    What this video showed me? MOST of these Fatals we keep seeing occur, seemingly more & more each year? Absolutely ARE preventable as Dan Gryder & Juan keep talking about. The bad part, is why it's taken these guys, to try and create solutions to fix it.
    This pilot SHOWS how much time there is for recovery, and, that, if pilots remain level headed, FOLLOW the mental checklists there are only precious seconds to go through, many of those dead now, would be alive today.
    Now granted, this is a special Cub, but his circumstances are also more EXTREME, than many of those now no longer with us, faced.
    "Nose down" must become 2nd nature, even though it goes against everything our mind is telling us to do.
    I thought this guy was gonna crash, several times. That was truly an insane, and informative, thing to watch. Amazing Juan.

  • @ElsinoreRacer

    I have hovered and backed up in the Cub many times. What is the big deal? Hangs on the prop at about 38-40. Winds aloft are nearly always 10-20 more than at ground level. It takes a windy day but not a crazy one to hover a Cub. Fun is on a sunny day to put ppl on the ground in the shade or some guy on a bicycle has this shadow next to him for miles. Ahh, Cub fun.

    I flew a Schweitzer 2-33 sailplane at a negative ground speed in weak wave lift just south of Lexington, VA. The wave was far downwind from the primary wave. I started to climb soon after the tow plane left. Heading west into the wind I gained about 1,500 feet to about reach about 3,500 ft before I hit turbulence. I then slowed my IAS to the point where my ground speed was negative. I don’t remember how much above stall speed I was, but I don’t remember experiencing any incipient stalls. traveled eastward, with no change in heading, until I was in turbulence and my sink rate increased. Then I increased IAS until I was back in the smooth wave lift and flew westward climbing as before. I made three west-east passes before I turned and headed eastbound to the land at the glider port. Even though I was in an insulated ski suit the cold became an issue. I also realized my fellow glider club members on the ground deserved a turn at the fun. The only tricky part was making sure I was not blown downwind on the base leg during landing. There was a farm-field fence we were trained to never get downwind. It was strange touching down at a high IAS to have a normal ground speed. We were trained to focus on IAS and ignore ground speed in case we had to land off-field and didn’t have our normal landing pattern landmarks as a check. There had been a low-altitude landing crash when someone pulled back on the stick during a low downwind turn because the ground speed was higher than they expected.

    Reminds me of reading about Ruth Nichols Setting the Diesel powered altitude record, climbing above the clouds, she had been backing up for quite a distance.

    Video was way too short. I could watch that all day.

    The way the plane turned at 1:15 reminds me of auto-rotation maneuvers in helicopters.
    For those that don't know, auto-rotation is applied when you've lost your rear propeller and you're spinning uncontrollably. As you're spinning around, you still have control over the angle and collective of the main propeller, so you pitch the prop in the direction you want to go when your nose is pointed that way, then pull back when you're facing away. After you gain enough momentum, the helicopter will stabilize and you'll be flying in a straight line.
