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.
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.
Really enjoyed that Andy, that 360 degree camera really puts us in the picture! What a little gem that cub is. As a lapsed private pilot myself, I watch a lot of flying videos and this is right up there with the best. What you said at 10:30 is so true, this is real flying! I read once that Neil Armstrong kept up his private flying after leaving NASA and had a share in a glider among other things. So you can reach the pinnacle of aviation attainment, military jets and rockets, and still get a thrill from basic stick and rudder flying.
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
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.
Another great flying video. Really gave the feeling that we were sharing your flying. 360 camera gave a fantastic view and your commentary gave a real flavour of the cubs special handling characteristics. Thanks again for sharing your great film.
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 !!
Andy, thank you for sharing your first solo with us. Great landing. I had thought about getting my ,licence a few years Ago, but decided not to as I was simply too busy. Perhaps a mistake. My uncle flew in the RAF in the war and was awarded the DFC,. I hope to get a tour in a Spitfire in the next year or so. Stay well.
Great skills Andy, your the man. And what a lovely back to basics aircraft. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed coming up there with you. Thank you. Nice day for it too.
Thanks Andy a great experience...she looks great for her age what a difference from the other one you fly i hope you do get chance to fly her again soon....cheers.
Nice one. I enjoyed watching you going up . I'm glad you now where the airfield was. I can't see it. Looking forward to seeing more flying plus the bikes too. Big 👍 up.
Yes when you first start out with flying finding the airfield can be a huge cause of stress! Luckily it gets easier with experience (and these days GPS!)
The fact that you have to make an effort to go down in the aircraft ,is a good thing .That shows that the delightful old kite is more than willing to stay up in the air . I am no pilot ,but I can tell a good landing when I see one .Splendid flying Mr Flyer I enjoyed the flight & the views .👍
Thanks so much for sharing Andy, what a beautiful little aeroplane! Amazing visibility from the cockpit, I used to make balsa and tissue paper model planes and they were often based on the cub.
Excellent video! This one took me way back to about 1976 when I flew in a private light aircraft for the first time, and it was in a Piper Cub. Lovely! Keep the flying videos coming. They’re always nice to see.
Bloody awesome, I never knew you flew. It's one of the best activities in life. I passed my paramotor licence last year, felt awesome. Like you bikes and flying is a passion. 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!
This video brought back some memories. When I was 15, I have flown on one of this Supercub, of the F.A.P. (Portuguese Air Force). Terrifying at first, but rather fun. Thanks for that! Keep flying/riding
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??!
As an owner of both a PA-22, and a BMW GS, and a bunch of BMW Airheads, if you ever get to Wisconsin, you are welcome to try all the toys. I like grass fields. Congratulations on the progress. And nice landing!
@@TheMissendenFlyer You would be welcome to join me. I spent about 12 days there this year camping under the wing of the Tripacer. Got there early and volunteered. N2390P.
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….
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.
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 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!
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. 👍🏻
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.
Love the flying, takes me back to my Chipmunk days. The Chippy had a slightly improved ground handling system where you can get the wheel brakes to apply at the extreme ends of the rudder travel, so that saved a few embarrasing moments! I got used to 'wheeler' landings, I found the visibilty was much better, just lowering the tail when all the elevator authority ran out. You had to get the speeds right of course and landing at Liverpool, in between the EasyJet 737's, they wanted you 'keep your speed up' and get off the runway. 'Memories are better than dreams'. Keep it up Andy.
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.
Well done Adam, that was a fantastic video - great flight in a great little plane! Every time I’m on the bike off to stop at one of the airfields I just think of T.E.Lawrence racing the flying boys on his Brough. Fabulous stuff, bikes and planes 👍
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.
Not loads and loads, possible flight to Majorca and back and maybe some more cub time - with fuel prices as they are it's getting very difficult to justify to myself - for the price of 2 hours flying I can have a weekend away on the bike including a nice hotel and food.....
@@TheMissendenFlyer I started when I was 27 now 54 and thinking the effort and cost is increasing. I was into the homebuilt scene years ago and flew all the odd things which was fun..... Motorcycling is far more accessible and somehow has a broad spectrum of people, which I enjoy. Lovely to see more ladies riding motorbikes these days too. The sky will always hold a special place and the interest never wane, but I can see the days are numbered.
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.
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 👍🏻☮♥️
Liked that, nice camera angles as well thanks
Glad you enjoyed it Alan!
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; thanks for sharing Andy 👌🏻😎
What a great experience flying with you . Its great to see your other hobbies not just motorbike oriented. Thanks for taking us along 😀👍
My pleasure!
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....
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’

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?

Great effort Andy love the camera work as it's like we are in the plane also.
That camera is brill in the aeroplane isn’t it…
Don't loose the wings, have a pleasant flight... 👍🛫
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!
Having watched you with the gang yesterday I’m amazed at what you do with the planes, it looks like multi tasking at its best, thanks TMF

Looking forward to the next flight video
Thanks Graham
Love it!
I’ll probably never get to have that experience any other way. Great job!
Happy 2022!
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…..
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 and they say Britain is crowded!
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!
Thanks Andy, always enjoy these videos 👍🏼

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!
Fascinating insight Andy, well done
Glad you enjoyed it Mark - thanks for watching!

both motorcycle and flying videos top notch andy nice work
Cheers Allan
Learned to fly in a supercub. Thanks for the stroll down amnesia lane.
He he - my pleasure

Thanks for the ride Andy. Reminds me of landing and takeoff from a farmers field flying a Maul M5 (I think) in the North Okanagan a few years back.
Brilliant!

Love the Cub. First aircraft I flew after getting my PPL. Low, slow, no electrics, no radio. Great for a Summer evening just pootling about.
100% agreed!
Nice video! Looked like fun. Seemed to my non-pilot eyes like an excellent landing.
Yes I was pretty chuffed with it!

Defo a great landing. 👍
Enjoyable - and relaxing. Gorgeous views. That camera worked great there. Fantastic!
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.
Nice work. I'm a little way off getting my tail dragger ticket, but you've given me some motivation to get on with it.
Glad to hear that!
great landing, great 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…..
Awesome, the piper cub is one of my favs on flightsim :)
Cool! Great bit of software that - very realistic and a great training tool….
Good use of the insta 360. Also surprised at approach to landing is over residential housing. Most enjoyable
Think the airfield predates the housing!
Love the tandem cub!!! But in spring and autumn tho 😊
Excellent flying and excellent video Andy. 👍 There doesn't look like there is much room in the Supercup. Very cosy...
Yes I’m not sure it’s for Lamb Chops or TeapotOne!

Awesome video! Thank you!
Looks like a tricky thing to fly. Lots of good camera angles in that one. Thanks TMF.
My pleasure Colin - thanks for watching
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!
