I just passed my Sport Pilot FAA written test today, yay! The bad news is the last spot in the EAA Sport Pilot Academy was taken last Friday. I can wait until June or find another school… (All the local schools only do PP)

I'm training in a J3 Cub, fulfilled requirements (and then some!), waiting on a DPE. How do you think the MOSAIC changes will affect the prices of the newly included LSA aircraft?

Get some kind of wind noise blocker for heavens sake… Im sending you the bill for my subwoofer…

If you want to do something positive, reign in the aviation bar, which has reportedly doubled the cost of light aircraft.

Those would be great changes. I was a student pilot years ago, and recently decided to build an ultralight. This might change my mind

So now they're willing to change it. Cessna 120/140 owners tried for years to get the weight limit increased by 100 lbs. 🙁

Really interesting. Is there any changes to manufacturing rules? Or would upstart companies be able to just start selling new 172-alike aircraft for 1/4 the price of a cessna?

If it’s allowed for pipeline such work, would that mean I need to get a commercial too? And would I need PPL then? Or can I just do my light sport and then get my commercial?

Good Video!!

This was an excellent informative video! Thank you!

So useful, for a multitude of modelers!

When you say "controllable pitch propellers" are allowed --- do you mean "ground adjustable props" or "constant speed props" (or both)? Frankly, it sure would be nice if the rotax 916 engines (which require constant speed props, I think) can power new light sport airplanes.

I think it’s ok as long as you have proper training

hey j3piper cub friend im mark from san francisco and a 60 yr old private pilot. i went for my class 3 med and although i passed (with flying colors) he refered it to the faa. with my pcp,s help im sure too get the class 3 but if i go with the light sport rules, can i still fly a cherokee 140 two place i have at half moon bay airport (n calif.) I APPRECIATE YOUR FEED BACK. MARK SAN FRANCISCO CALIF. THANKS AND GREAT VIDEOS YOU DO.

I’m curious about the propeller on the 65 H.P. engine. What diameter and pitch was it?

Why do you fly the Cub from the back seat ??? Wouldn't visibility be better from the front and ability to see the instrument panel ???

🛫📖🛬 Been waiting for your next upload. All your labor & 💰 has paid off for you

Love the J3.

A 72" pitch prop would have you going 175 mph! I think you meant something like a 48" pitch

C-85 made a big difference on my Champ. Mine is a dash 8 so I'm still propping. C-85's are real expensive these days, glad I bought mine 30 years ago.

The 85 HP Continental is a nice addition to your J-3 because it doesn't mess up the feel/balance of the airplane like putting really big engines on the old 65 HP trainers. One of the really useful things about all the low powered trainers is that they teach/demand total energy management. I taught in all of them at very high DA airports, midday in summer as well. With heavier pilots and passengers these days they teach energy management well at lower DA as well. I used to say, "If pulling on the stick does not get you the climb you want, try pushing a bit. Level in low ground effect to cruise airspeed on the long runways up high was 50% to my total energy. Pitch to just over the obstruction, as Wolfgang suggests, saved some of that life giving airspeed, and down drainage egress was more free energy. Enjoy the ability to zoom a bit on the extra fuel energy, but don't forget Wolfgang's "Law of the roller coaster." Don't lose all the good energy management techniques the old girl has taught you so far.

I've flown Cubs for years (J-3s, PA-11s, and PA-18s) but never flown a J-3 with a C-85. What is involved with the changeover process, paperwork-wise? An STC, Form 337 or?

that aeronca looks like it was at 67FL? is there yellow overspray on the instrument panel? I cant tell

What, if any, did this change your payload.

Thanks for the ride

Bend over, apply lube. Thanks to those for jacking up prices. Just saw a video, cub for sale, $77,000.00 🤔🤬

Miss your cub videos!

The only thing keeping your wings on are the termites holding hands.

It goes for any hobby or interest, that the Facebook group has about as many intelligent people as the forum, the problem is the Facebook group is more accessible to morons, and they tend to be quite loud, and love to voice their terrible opinions.

Well, I look at it this way. I would not want my wife or children to fly with any light sport pilot unless I knew them and/or had flown with them and felt comfortable with their piloting skills…especially not in a high performance complex aircraft. Light sport is a short cut and after 31 years of flying and nearly 25 years as a CFI, one thing I’ve concluded is that there are no safe shortcuts in aviation.

Nice of that ferry pilot to take a bow on the way out. Yikes

Adsb is not a requirement for annual

Another of the differences is that a Cub has a 3 mph window for a perfect 3-point landing. The Champ has a different airfoil providing a 7 mph window for a 3-point landing.

Excellent video. I would like to know what you think is the best way to clean the fabric. My airplane has aluminum wings cowling and bottom but fabric fuselage tail and rudder.

Good job on this topic. You need to do something about wind noise.

The nice thing is that you can simultaneously hold both a Class III and BasicMed at the same time.

You can buy something faster, more modern type of aircraft, but to almost any old flyers like me there is nothing better than a J-3 CUB; not even a P-51.

I am going to say something controversial. Vans sounds like a real A$$hole. You know, the kind of boss that is the founder and is sick and tired of the business but still thinks he is the most intelligent person in the room. You know like he sells the company to the employees and STILL calls himself the boss. And then sends the company under.... that kind of A$$hole.

Years away from this if lucky.

Thank you for taking the time to put this together. People like you are why GA is so appealing

Nice video

What are the odds these changes go through?

A really great video ! Thank you

the Leg/Foot hanging out the Side - Oh, I see - you removed the Door first - lol 🤠 (it didn't fall off !)

Found you after the Cleetus video dropped today! Love the planes!

I have an offer in on a j3 with an O-200 Is there anyway we can chat. I’m from St. Pete now in the Ocala area. Do you also have a Facebook or instagram page? Joe

Brilliant minds at the FAA "you can now fly a Cessna with 4 seats but you can only carry one passenger," derrrrrrr.

Legislation is a law passed by an elected body, i.e. Congress. Administrative procedures in the executive branch are made formally through rules. Rules are not legislation.

Great info. What about the recreational pilot Cert? and how it differs from Light Sport Cerf.

Flew both and would chose the Champ EVERY time.
