Great video. You have certainly got the essence of Super Cub flying. That is also a very well kept aircraft. When you’ve got happy with this one, add a Tiger Moth to your menu. That will be a very simple conversion as there are even less controls. If I may comment: 1. Keep your left hand on the throttle when taking off. You were two hands on the stick at about lift off. 2. Ditch the knee board ASAP. Use a pen on a half/quarter mil if you need to take notes. Top tip for the future, if you sideslip to the right with the door open (like you might on a hot day when doing multiple launches at a gliding club), slide open the left hand window. If you don’t, the left-hand window blows out and you have to do the walk of shame to pick it up from the undershoot. Errm… how do I know?
@@TheMissendenFlyer “Well kept” is a relative term. You should fly a tug at gliding club. You have to wipe your feet on the way out. One good thing, they had none of that useless radio nav. stuff. Ours just used to have a VHF radio and a transponder - two boxes too many.
FANTASTIC Camera views that capture the amazing visibility from the Cub . Great vid. As as ex microlight pilot and keen v-strom rider , I'm LOVING your work Sir !! Thank you !!
Gotta love those heel brakes! I am a Certified Flight Instructor and former Motorcycle Safety Instructor in the USA and a Citabria and Champ guy myself. Subscribed and been watching your stuff for at least a year now. Keep up the good work I alway enjoy your content and the occasional aviation stuff is appreciated.
I had a 1946 Cessna 140 for 36 years and flew all over the USA! LOVE TAIL DRAGERS! WIFE pressured me to sell it 4 years after I retired, miss having it!
We enjoy your flying videos, so to hell with anyone else who doesn't! They certainly utilised ever surfaced on the inside! 99% as we didn't like the music!! 🛫🎶🎶
Bit of a death-grip on the stick there (2 hands even)! Finger and thumb does it in the Cub. I flew taildraggers for 35 years (mostly Chipmunk - get a flight in one of those and you won't want to ever fly anything else again), but I did fly the L4 Cub, Supercub, Citabria, Jungmann, Tiger Moth, Stampe and more... I loved the basic L4 (military J3) more than the Super Cub as it was flown from the back seat and always with the side open. What a view!The lower door was an excellent AoA indicator on landing - just before a perfect 3-pointer it would float up level! The little 65 horse Continental ran like a sewing machine - provided you kept an eye on carb heat. All the best bars should have a 65 horse Conti and a Bristol Proteus - the best ice makers known to man! With simple taildraggers like these (when used to them) you can chuck away that checklist. A left to right cockpit check following the walk-round is all you need. These are simple aeroplanes! Try a wheeler instead of 3-pint when you are ready. I taught myself these in the Chippy and they are dead easy. ease it on tail high and as soon as the mains tough PIN IT with a dash of forward stick (don't worry - the prop won't strike), keep it straight with rudder (don't attempt this until your feet are 'tailwheel happy as loosing directional control at this speed will not be fun). But your feet will soon learn and you won't even have to think about it. Next is high speed taxying with tail up - I used to do this at Liverpool in the Chippy if it was a long taxy to the hold. Your feet really do need to be in top shape for this! But hey, 35 years of taildragging, now retired, and I never ever ground looped! Saw a few, though. And make sure you have a go at aerobatics! I don't think I ever felt fully in control of any aeroplane until I'd taken beyond the envelope and back. Teaches you to fly by feel and by what you can see - outside! You will not be a stall / spin victim (base to final turn) if you are current in aeros. Nice landing! But hold the stick hard back after touchdown throughout the roll-out and until the engine stops. Helps avoid ground loops and the AoA cannot decrease so the wing will not fly, which is what you want. If I keep practising, though, one day I'll be as relaxed on a bike as I was in the aeroplane. I do envy the ease with which you take to all the bikes you ride. I don't have many videos of my flying, but here's one my elder daughter took from the back seat of the Chippy landing at Liverpool on a horrid day (glide approach, as I often did). ua-cam.com/video/RpBQeA0nmIs/v-deo.html Vince
A little old school flying, stick and rudder, steam and clockwork. The way it was meant to be. I recall flying with my father in tail-draggers way back in the day. Good times.
WOW! Back around 1967-68 , I read true story of a pilot who was to fly a " Cub" from the factory to the customer. He wrote how he chose to follow rai.roads to get to the destination. I was into flying, had planned to get my license. I had taken flight lessons, six hours, in a Cessna 150. But had to give up my dream, family problems. Seeing this video reminded me of the adventure of the pilot delivering a Cub. Thank you.
I like to bring them to you but alas as a biking channel it doesn't do my algorithm pleasing much good....I will continue to slip the odd one in though....
Interesting vid - I’ve flown that very super cub from WW - but as I’m very much a learner I do prefer the P28! Useful watching you run through the checks - I’m always worried I’ll forget something 😮
Absolutely superb! The Cub is one of my favourite aircraft and one of my only regrets is never having taken a tail wheel endorsement. Great camerawork Andy and not a bad landing either (for a ‘beginner’!😉)
Now you’re flying a proper airplane.👍 I have several hours in tailwheel aircraft, but, sadly, never any time in a Cub of any type. Would have loved it.
Love the flying videos. In my experience a lot of people who ride have an interest in aviation, even if they don't fly themselves; so it's a great combination. Any plans to fly some historic aircraft? Love to see you take on a Stearman or Tigermoth. Harvard would be amazing too.
Being a fellow aviation enthusiast here for the flight vid, it would have been nice to see the checks but I understand I'm in a pretty niche category of viewer lol. Another great vid though, thanks 👍🏾
Thanks for the feedback Justin - maybe next time I do a video in the cub I'll include the preflight checks too as they are a little different on this one....thanks for watching!
I really like your airborne films. They definitely are really well timed and filmed they ad so much more variety in a crowded space on You Tube. Big thumbs up from me and keep the aerial experiences coming! If I said Super Marine would I be giving the game away lol??!
Nice video....my mates got a super cub and is very picky about aviating when it comes to the wind! Been in it loads and I would prefer to land my airbus any day of the week , even in a 38 knot crosswind😂 . Hope you managed to get more time in it since this video..
Well done! Tail draggers are where it's at - although I'm more used to seeing them fly out west were there aren't any homes and you land, on BLM land, pretty much where you please. :D
What a blast to fly a taildragger with a stick: The way nature intended! Noticed the way you juggled the controls cross armed before takeoff - you have discovered the conundrum of stick vs largish [hard] kneepad on the right! Mucho Kudos for not getting airborne like that ! 😅. . Southpaws have it easier.
I wouldn’t normally watch this type of thing but yesterday I had a Spitfire Simulator experience, it looks remarkably similar to your video. 1 question though, on a normal flight A to B, how do you not get lost? Great Video.
These days it’s easy thanks to GPS - in the old days when I started (pre gps) working out where you were with map and compass was a constant cause of stress!!
That was excellent Andy, i really enjoy the flying vids, and flying something like that is so cool. Tell me, i noticed a few times you had two hands on the control column, does it feel "heavier" to control than the usual aircraft you fly?
Yes very much so - and that particular aeroplane has a very short control column and hence little leverage….doesn’t work well with my arthritic shoulders….
Very nice landing! I have not flown a Cub, but have spent a fair bit of time in Aeronca Champs. Lots of fun. Low, and slow. Follow a river. Chace some Coyotes. Doesn't get any better.
I flew a regular cub with doors down and open. No flaps meant slipping it in due to crosswind and looking out the side instead of the front before touchdown was disconcerting.
Lovely video ( I'm a non flyer ) great to watch and enjoy .. nearest I've been to a super cub was a small honda in the 70s ! 🏍 .. thanks for sharing 👍🏻☮♥️
Great to see your in the air again Andy. Does this mean you are required to keep so many hours per years in each class of aircraft now to keep the licence current?
You need a carbon monoxide alarm for only £20 those stupid discs are no good at all by the time they change the colour you are dead also would you have noticed it?
I love it when you make flying videos. I love motorcycles and airplanes… seeing one of my favorite motorcycle UA-camrs flying an airplane is fantastic. I’ve loved Piper Cubs since I was a kid. The traditional yellow ones are the best! I love all the different camera angles. Love hearing the chatter on the radio. Excellent use of the 360 action camera. Perfect for this application. I’m sure the editing took forever.
Awesome! I got my tail wheel rating in G-XCUB with Lawrence. Its great that it and OFER are available for tail wheel training. I have since moved to the US and I bought a Husky because of my love for tail wheel flying.
That is super cool - what sort of prices are we talking over there? I’ve looked here and prices for a cub seem ridiculously high….funnily enough I was at the club yesterday and saw Lawrence….
If that’s a carbon monoxide detector in the middle of the instrument panel? Then you’ll be unconscious before you see that thing turn colour! As a boiler engineer trust me on that one!
I really enjoyed that video. I normally watch your channel for the bike reviews, which I am fond of. As recently retired 744 captain and an ex flying instructor with some time in a super cub and other tail draggers I was very impressed, well done.
Next stop: Tiger Moth. Next stop after that: Pitts S2! 🤗 The beauty of the Cub is its simplicity. The older the designs are, the more you feel what they do Thanks for the lift!
Superb video ! nice looking aircraft, love the views. I had a 25 minute aerobatic experience last week in a Murdy CAP10 at Headcorn, another tail wheel aircraft. love the videos, motorcycle or aircraft, keep 'em coming.
Sadly flying videos take quite a bit of effort to make but only ever get few views….which is why I don’t post that many of them…but glad you like them!
Hi Andy Wow nice one. Welcome to the tail staggers club. So much more fun to fly than modern glass cockpit nose wheeled planes. I used to fly a 1945 Aeronca Champ (which you had to hand prop start 😳) when I lived in Texas. Loved that plane. Great landing. Make sure to keep up the fast tap dancing on the pedals. 👍🏻
Nice job with your first flight out of the circuit with the cub. Taildraggers can be a handful... especially on a paved strip. I am enjoying your classic bike reviews.
Wonderful video. I first learned to fly in Piper J-3. That plane was so much fun!
Cool!
Absolute greaser of a landing mate very nicely done.
Thanks Mark - I was happy to catch that one on camera!
Thanks again, great to be with you. Love the 360 camera it makes a massive difference for us.
Yes it's good in the aeroplane isn't it....
Love the flying videos TMF! I am amazed at how much farmland there seems to be in that area. Sweet plane.
Yes and they say Britain is crowded!

It has been a while now but I loved my time flying the Supercub. This bought back some good memories.
Thanks Peter…
Never gets old! 🙋♂️
Great video ! never had a clue you were doing this, but I am a mushroom..it was a lot of fun watching !!! thanks for the journey!
Well I am The Missenden Flyer!
Nice update. Definitely like the the instagram 360 camera views. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Good isn’t it!
As both a PPL and bike rider I love all your vids but these flying ones are a special treat for me. Keep them coming!
Good to hear Robert and willco…

Yes I was pretty chuffed with it!
What a great experience flying with you . Its great to see your other hobbies not just motorbike oriented. Thanks for taking us along 😀👍

I prefer fortunate 😉
Nice landing, Andy. Considerably better than my first attempt in an Aeronca, believe me!
Thank you Chris - I was quite pleased to hae captured that one on camera!
That was a fun change up.
Glad you liked it Brad!
Enjoyed that. Thanks.
Thank you for watching!
Reminds me of my gliding days. Great stuff.
That was good mate keep doing them
I like to bring them to you but alas as a biking channel it doesn't do my algorithm pleasing much good....I will continue to slip the odd one in though....
Ain’t nothing like flying off a grass runway, doing so in the Cub was just a bonus. Cheers. 👍
Great vid Andy never knew it was so complicated in the cub! I presumed the wings were one piece, seems like structurally must be weak like that..
Hmmmm…. Hadn’t thought of that!! Thanks!!! Fancy a go??
Well done Andy really interesting and a great landing. 👍
Thank you for watching!
Enjoyed than Andy, great commentary. That camera is fantastic.
It's really good in this application isn't it Ken - I need more practice with it though, quite difficult to edit with....

Now you’re flying a proper airplane.👍 I have several hours in tailwheel aircraft, but, sadly, never any time in a Cub of any type. Would have loved it.
Great content...like some of your other subs I ride and fly also (I fly the Super Cub at Goodwood so this was really nice to see).
Brilliant!
Great video. Question: Why handle the throttle with your right hand while taxiing out crossing arms? Weird!
I have arthritic shoulders and it’s the only way I could do it in some degree of comfort - I realise it’s not normal!
Love the flying videos. In my experience a lot of people who ride have an interest in aviation, even if they don't fly themselves; so it's a great combination. Any plans to fly some historic aircraft? Love to see you take on a Stearman or Tigermoth. Harvard would be amazing too.

That camera is brill in the aeroplane isn’t it…
Awesome
Next challenge with TP1, RV & LCR = Piper Cub v Honda Cub (or even an old Triumph Tiger Cub for something more in keeping with a taildragger)
Great idea….not sure what would win! N
Brilliant, very interesting Andy. Keep the flying vids coming as well as the biking stuff!
Willco Tom
Something particularly satisfying in operating what might be considered 'vintage' machinery well. Similar to the bikes of yesteryear I'd imagine. :)
Very much a similar appeal…..

Yes maybe one for a future video - cheers!
Your flying video's are brilliant, so keep them coming when you can. Looks a bit like flying a beginners little 125 to flying your normal Goldwing.
It might look like that but believe me there’s more technique to flying the cub than flying a tricycle undercarriage aircraft…..
That was excellent Andy, i really enjoy the flying vids, and flying something like that is so cool. Tell me, i noticed a few times you had two hands on the control column, does it feel "heavier" to control than the usual aircraft you fly?
Yes very much so - and that particular aeroplane has a very short control column and hence little leverage….doesn’t work well with my arthritic shoulders….

Following for the bike vids but enjoy the flying. Cheers and take care
Great to see the Missenden Flyer actually flying!
Thanks for watching!
I flew a regular cub with doors down and open. No flaps meant slipping it in due to crosswind and looking out the side instead of the front before touchdown was disconcerting.
Love to try that! Roll on summer….
Are you familiar with Mike Patey's aircraft, "Scrappy"?
Nope?
@@TheMissendenFlyer ua-cam.com/play/PL9OFkVHYEhoFUPV78e3hh0TVPMhYI73f9.html This is the build of the world's most awesome bush plane!
Really enjoyed that video! Tense for you on thr way down. How many hours have you done in the supercub to get you to your first off circuit solo?
About 3 and a half I think….
@@TheMissendenFlyer oh really is that all?! I'm quite surprised!
Yes normally I think people take about 5 hours - that was my expectation and was surprised when the instructor got out after so few!
Liked that, nice camera angles as well thanks
Glad you enjoyed it Alan!
Brilliant 👍🏻and no white vans 😅
Yay!
May i ask, is there a parachute onbord. Looks fun.
M’fraid not!
Love it!
I’ll probably never get to have that experience any other way. Great job!
Happy 2022!
Lovely video ( I'm a non flyer ) great to watch and enjoy .. nearest I've been to a super cub was a small honda in the 70s ! 🏍 .. thanks for sharing 👍🏻☮♥️
Thank you for watching - I’m really glad you found it if interest!
Nice
Great to see your in the air again Andy. Does this mean you are required to keep so many hours per years in each class of aircraft now to keep the licence current?
Yes - but the cub isn’t regarded as a different category to my usual steed (“Single engine piston”)
Loved this 😀 Wanted to learn to fly for years. Excellent landing, and great narrative, despite the crackly radio.
Thank you Miles - glad you enjoyed it!
Cool
Glad you think so! (I agree!!)
You need a carbon monoxide alarm for only £20 those stupid discs are no good at all by the time they change the colour you are dead also would you have noticed it?
Brilliant upload. You are a braver man than me that plane looks like it's made from a meccano set!! 🤘🤘
I love it when you make flying videos. I love motorcycles and airplanes… seeing one of my favorite motorcycle UA-camrs flying an airplane is fantastic. I’ve loved Piper Cubs since I was a kid. The traditional yellow ones are the best! I love all the different camera angles. Love hearing the chatter on the radio. Excellent use of the 360 action camera. Perfect for this application. I’m sure the editing took forever.
Cheers Cliff - yes the editing is a pin and I’m yet to master it, but that 360 camera is brilliant in the aeroplane!
Got to fly a few circuits in XCUB myself. A very nice ship.
Well it's not a bike .... But it has 3 Wheels - so let's call it a Trike! - that way the bikers don't feel left out ! 😁
Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing lol !! Looked like a great day weather wise
Enjoyed that, felt like I was in there with the great camera views
Looking forward to the next flight video
Thanks Graham
Awesome! I got my tail wheel rating in G-XCUB with Lawrence. Its great that it and OFER are available for tail wheel training. I have since moved to the US and I bought a Husky because of my love for tail wheel flying.
That is super cool - what sort of prices are we talking over there? I’ve looked here and prices for a cub seem ridiculously high….funnily enough I was at the club yesterday and saw Lawrence….
Don't loose the wings, have a pleasant flight... 👍🛫
If that’s a carbon monoxide detector in the middle of the instrument panel? Then you’ll be unconscious before you see that thing turn colour! As a boiler engineer trust me on that one!
Well spotted!
Ergonomics look good- if you're a motorcycle rider!
I really enjoyed that video. I normally watch your channel for the bike reviews, which I am fond of.
As recently retired 744 captain and an ex flying instructor with some time in a super cub and other tail draggers I was very impressed, well done.
Thank you Gordon!
You didn't pull over to do the walkaround. What happened?
Next stop: Tiger Moth. Next stop after that: Pitts S2! 🤗 The beauty of the Cub is its simplicity. The older the designs are, the more you feel what they do Thanks for the lift!
Indeed! As it happens I have flown a Tiger Moth, but not solo….yet!
Love the tandem cub!!! But in spring and autumn tho 😊
Superb video ! nice looking aircraft, love the views. I had a 25 minute aerobatic experience last week in a Murdy CAP10 at Headcorn, another tail wheel aircraft. love the videos, motorcycle or aircraft, keep 'em coming.
Sounds like fun - and will do!
More flying videos PLEASE🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Even if you don’t take us up. Just talk about piloting, or aircraft’s. Even the process of how you became a pilot.
Sadly flying videos take quite a bit of effort to make but only ever get few views….which is why I don’t post that many of them…but glad you like them!
Hi Andy
Wow nice one. Welcome to the tail staggers club. So much more fun to fly than modern glass cockpit nose wheeled planes.
I used to fly a 1945 Aeronca Champ (which you had to hand prop start 😳) when I lived in Texas. Loved that plane.
Great landing. Make sure to keep up the fast tap dancing on the pedals. 👍🏻
Willco!
Flying vids are a very welcome break for some of us that watch too much motorcycle content, so a big thank you!
Thank you for watching’
Back to basics flying the same reason I like classic bikes, I'm surprised you haven't got one in the garage yet, excellent video keep them coming.
Yes there’s a lot to be said for simple!
Nice job with your first flight out of the circuit with the cub.
Taildraggers can be a handful... especially on a paved strip.
I am enjoying your classic bike reviews.
Thanks 👍
The flying equivalent of a gentle potter around the lanes on an Enfield Bullet. Looks like fun, just basic flying.
Exactly that!
