I was contacted by one of the viewers of my channel with some video taken while flying his Maule on this river. He wanted to know if the gravel bars were good for landing on. Heck ya they are!

I have Bush Flying 101 2nd part ready to view so as soon as this video hits 10K views I will make the next segment available. Thanks for everyones support and all the new subscribers in the last month!
You know it's going to be a good day when you wake up to find a fresh Mauleguy video has been posted!
Haha, I agree.
I had several bush pilots (uncles) back in 40's Alaska.
Bush flying and your own runway: my day dream. Excellent video, thanks for sharing.
Your welcome
Dang! That takeoff ..😅
Thank you 🙏🏻 for very helpful videos
Keep the videos coming. You’re an awesome pilot, love hearing your thoughts 🤙
Good message... Thanks.
An 18 minute video never felt so short, appreciate the content and look forward to seeing more of the 4 place. Hope to do this myself one day. Currently in ground school… one step at a time!
Keep it up!
Awesome flying! It's beyond skin it's almost magic. Keep the videos coming!!
As an owner of all of Greg's Big Rocks and Long Props dvd's I can say without a doubt they are worth buying for anyone keen on Bush flying. So very entertaining and educational. There is a lot of great content out now, and those old DVD's are still among the best I've seen. Greg...great video here...reminds me of your older stuff! Thanks for doing this for us!
Thank you for the high praise Bubba
@@mauleguy Lol. Awesome. Dude you have to watch our video that drops Monday...Bubba makes a couple of appearances...😁
man that drone video shot with the focus pull on rails was legit
Amazing pilotage!! Beautiful country. We are truly blessed as pilots to have this perspective of our great country.
Yes we are!
you gotta go to new zealand, switzerland, iceland...if you think this shit is beautiful
@@plantpower3048 It's all good in a Super Cub no matter where you are if you are in nature. Not real easy for me to fly my cub to New Zealand, Switzerland or Iceland. Even once you get there it is probably not the freedom we have here. I know for a fact Switzerland is not.
Always enjoy your videos but your home strip is heart in the mouth both ways, absolutely no room for error.
Thank you.
Seen my first golden this fall good way to tell them apart is their beak the goldens is much darker and they are booted. Meaning feathers cover his feet. Thanks for the tour
Thank you for the videos! You are definitely living the dream!
Really like this idea! Excited to follow this series. Looking forward to some more of the build videos!
Yes I need to get another build video done, thanks for reminding me:))
Thank you for the great tips!
Can’t wait for the next one! Thanks Greg.
Such a beautiful country.
Love you videos, well editted. Love the narration vs music.
Beautiful scenery! I envy you and your playground! I appreciate your willingness to share the knowledge you’ve gained with the many years of experience you’ve accumulated. That experience combined with the locations you take on and the adventures you live most definitely gives you an edge over the many pilots posting videos. I know that many of them are very skilled also but it takes a calculating mind and self discipline to no when to say “nope” not worth it or “I can do this safely”. It’s fairly easy to edit out screw ups and takes honesty to no one’s limitations. I still think you’re the best in the business and one of the best to teach by example. Thanks again for the great content!!!
PS Thanks for the goodies too!!! 🤠👍
Thank you Rob. Screw ups get expensive in this hobby and are sometimes hard to hide... It is best to say no until something changes for the better if you really want to land a spot. I have looked at places dozens of times. Not on the same day because that would violate my 3 rule but I keep coming back thinking the wind would be more favorable etc.
Good info , thanks !
That eagle blew me away. Pretty amazing drone footage. Couldn’t tell how close the drone was, but it was amazing that it was not disturbed or afraid of it. I would think most birds would not care for its presence and fly away to avoid it.
Yeah I moved in on it pretty slowly, it was probably 15 or so feet away when I was hovering. It never looked to me it was ready to fly so I think it wanted to be video recorded for my channel:))
Love the videos and the skill set Greg! Very cool! Will be ordering some clothes soon bro! Keep up the great work!
Always a joy watching you fly!
Even better is the landings and takeoffs!
Excellent!!
Thank you for posting/sharing these trips......I love the the journey from your home and skilled flying/teaching on the way...EXCELLENT!!!!!!
Thank you Lee
Amazing thoughts...👏👏👏
Very nice.
I enjoy your videos, your insight into backcountry flying, and the beautiful country you fly in. I fly a Zenith 701 and my playground is on the lower Mississippi River with huge sand and gravel bars. Thanks for the inspiration. And yes Practice, Practice and Practice!
Excellent, Think ahead of the airplane!
Great vid and great advise from a true professional
Thank you Brady
thank you for posting. I am in California now.
I really liked this video! You make great flying content.
Thank you Nathan
Great video
Knowing your wingspan reminds me of when I first got my camper. First of all I'd never driven a diesel dullie and add that 8 foot wide box on it (the camper) with about 4 feet of overhang out the back to watch for swing. I drive places now without even thinking about it that 6 or 7 years ago caused maximum pucker. Like you said, practice. It was a different challenge when I'd leave the camper and just drive the truck. I found that the camper framed my tolerances in my mind and with it gone it originally made me nervous about clipping things with the rear wheel tubs. That took practice as well.
Super thanks!
tough tk off! 👌
Great video Greg, cheers from Canada
Cheers Lindsay
Beautiful country even if it is a little populated. Every time I fly over that area for work I have thought how awesome it would be to be playing down there in a cub! Thanks so much for posting!
Also, what kind of grease do you use on your wheel bearings? I ran into quite a bit of rust on my tailwheel last annual, most likely from dragging it through the water on taxi.
Mooie..!
You're not kidding about those bare trees. Like skeletons.
Greg, thanks for another awesome video! Since you mention flap position several times, I’m curious: do you have a preference for where the flap handle is located in an experimental Super Cub? Traditional by the left knee vs. the CubCrafters overhead style? Thanks!
I like traditional but I could get use to about anything. Overhead is just another place to hit your head but really I would not worry about it if that is where it was.
Absolutely love your videos! Talk about being free like a bird! Curious though, what is your typical air speed when flying high?
Cub is 85 mph at 2500 rpm no wind
Thanks for making and sharing another great video! How do you know the airspace near your house is clear before you take off from there? If you lose all air pressure in that type of tire, does it go completely flat? Why do you pump the brakes after takeoff? Thanks again!!
Airspace around my house is going to be clear, I live in the country not much flying around as low as I am when I take off. Yes the tires go completely flat with no air. I pump the brakes just to stop tire from spinning... Not really required
Greg its always a pleasure to view what yer doing. You made a comment about your flying skills that I do not agree with . You said your not different than anney buddy else . Yes I see your love of flying ofcourse S T O L. I maybe wrong but your competence, most of all your awareness, and or ability, skills to stay ahead of the airplane. Just callin it as I see it my friend ,be safe
Thank you John
How is your build and rebuild going? Miss your videos
Awesome tips and knowledge. How much training did you have before you were comfortable enough to start going by yourself out into the bush?
I flew with a friend (Loni, Cubdriver 749er) to remote places for a few years. We spent a bunch of time together, he in his cub and me in Bushwacker. I followed him at first and then over time started to pioneer my own spots. I would say a few years...
Just subbed....Love it!!!!! Do ya ever take a fishin rod?
I do. See Sheefishing in Alaska video. I also take it with me here in Washington, Oregon and Idaho
Awesome Video! How do you know when the rocks are too big from the air? You mentioned the first spot was 180ft, how would you know that from the air?
Most the time you can not if you are high and fast. You have to get down low and slow, if they are on the big size. It all depends on spacing of the rocks, for example if you have a few big rocks mixed into the spot you are going to land and they are gear breakers then you either have to adjust your landing spot or look for another one. Tire pressure plays a big part in it, the ACME shocks work really well except they do not make a big difference when it comes to impact from spaced rocks. So I let my tires down.
В России то же смотрят вас! Мне нравится то что вы делаете! У вас красивая природа и прекрасный самолёт! 🤝🤝🤝🛩️
Translated in Google: In Russia, they watch you the same! I like what you do! You have a beautiful nature and a beautiful plane. Thank you Alex
07:26 What's the matter with the wheels? Why you don't whant them to spin?
Greg, I’m enjoying the videos as I recover from the virus. Could you comment on your trim positions as you setup to land and takeoff? I like a past-neutral nose-down position for both. The tail pops up quicker for takeoff and on landing I like the feel of needing to apply back pressure on the stick. Then on touchdown I release that pressure and the tail is in a natural wheel landing position. But I’d like to hear your thought that’s on this too.
You know I probably am a little lazy about trim. I usually trim as I set up for landing for neutral pressure as I slow the airplane up. Then as flaps come on I usually don't make any changes (nothing is really needed as I slow down and deploy the flaps). On take off I usually don't mess with it much. If I am heavy on fuel I will probably go with nose down trim to help get the tail up.
Thanks for the answer! I was scrolling down to ask this. My cub seems to have a pretty heavy tail. It is much easier to lift the tail with full flaps for me. It is difficult to lift the tail and keep it up without brake pressure when starting my takeoff roll,I'm not even sure it's possible. I'm a student pilot and this is the only super cub I've flown. Does that sound right?
I couldn't find a consensus on dragging a landing. Not one of the other pilots I read framed it as a touch and go. They also didn't sound like stol fliers with the landing distances they were talking about.
It is pretty much the same thing as a touch and go. I use it to judge really short spots, rough spots, size of rocks, steepness sometimes. I may use an offset to the actual spot to look at different things that concern me. I am set up for landing (actual touch down speed) and can tell everything I need to know once I drag it. Sometimes more then once, sometimes in both directions.
The Paul Claus knee technique. Or is that one you taught him? 😂
Paul Claus has probably been doing it long then me but I probably picked it up from Loni Habersetzer
@@mauleguy Not a bad chain of guys to learn from.
That was skill not skin ..haha
1st landing tracks! They look to me to be within an 1/8" tolerace of perfect.
I am a machinist, +-.125
What is your thoughts on taking off uphill with a headwind vs taking off downhill w/ a tailwind....especially in gusting conditions on short strips.
Man too many variables to give a specific answer to that one. I consider everything and then choose what I feel is best. I have tried to take off up hill at 5000 feet on rough tundra with a pretty good headwind (it was probably blowing 10-15 mph) and the rising terrain caused me to abort 100 feet into the roll and take off with a tailwind. Down hill with the tailwind in that specific situation worked better. The good thing about trying uphill is you know pretty quickly whether it will work and it does not take much area to get stopped.
@@mauleguy Yeah thats a good point about getting stopped quickly going up hill, thanks for the reply.
You made me nervous when you took the valve right out, which brings me to my questions; do you carry a spare valve or two and a pump just in case you deflate too far?? As ever, what a journey, thanks for taking us along 👍🏼
Hahaha I know I saw that and was like… oh crap I know I woulda shot that thing 3 feet away into the gravel and never found it before the tire went flat!
@@akomara1 we've all done it 😂😂
I keep the tool in a bag with a half dozen spares, it was in my pocket, so no worries. I have yet to loose one but now that I have said that the next one is going to go flying:)) I also have a pump and pretty good patch kit in my tool bag.
@@mauleguy Strange how some of us would be mortified if you lose a valve but we have no problem with you landing on a remote 180ft of boulder strewn gravel bar!!!
однажды, ты зацепишься за эти провода...
Hope not:))
Where is this? The audio got really sketchy.
Ha, I did that on purpose. Somewhere between my house and Mt Rainier
At spot #3 I would have soiled myself I’m guessing...
Upper Cowlitz River?
Good guess, maybe:))
@@mauleguy
I grew up elk hunting down around there.
would love to buy some of your merch but the price is way to steep for me, sorry
Let me know how much you can afford and maybe we can make it happen.
@@mauleguy I am prepared to pay the full price for the shirt I wanted but the shipping was just too much to justify buying one shirt.
@@motorman85 I will send you a check for the amount of whatever it is over the actually shipping cost of what I pay to have the shirts shipped through Printful. It depends on where you live but I can give you an idea of the amount it would be if you give me a state. Cheers Greg
Всем привет 💃🔥💣
Yep, there’s nothing more useless, than runway behind you.
