How have you been doing with the Cub since? I just started my Cub journey and I bounce a lot during landings. I even had a a couple where I front flipped. Lol.
Simple Planes VR here. Yeah. I'm hunting landing spots on top of everything. Mock food & medical supply runs. Lots of oops off a mountaintop, but still great fun to practice STOLs.
Very impressed with that CFI. You can tell he knows a ton but still humble and calm. I flew with TAC Aero in their Waco earlier this year. Very impressive company. Sorry I missed you in Oregon, Steve! Hope to catch you next time.
That CFI is very calm and focused, lots of patients. Never raised his voice clear precise with his words. Unlike a couple of CFI’s I had when I started training. But after firing the first two I got a very good one kinda like this guy.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: a Flying Cowboys, Flightchops, JP, Matt Guthmiller, and Steveo1kinevo collaboration would be like watching the Avengers come together. If you all did a fly-by of La Vagabond I think heads might explode from awesome overdose.
I flew with Brad as part of the check out for Tac Aero's EPIC ALASKA trip. He is truly one of the best......he is so calm, smart, experienced and as you can see, great communicator. Makes me want to fly over for a tune up!
In love with this type of aircraft. 2 years ago, I had never heard of them! This is something I could take off and land right in my yard. I dream of that day. Might never happen, but I've got UA-cam to live vicariously through. Thanks for taking us along on this one Steve! Was a lot of fun to watch!
16:43 minute mark discussion on air speed for actual approach, then on approach you change it down to the 1300 rpm, the instructor allows it, you learn and come back around and do what you actually discussed @ 16:43 mark. Damn good instructor working with a damn good pilot.
Flew in RAF Chipmunks in the seventies with the UKs Air Training Corps as a youth , great fun especially when the RAF instructors did some aerobatics in them with us , never did manage to afford to become a private pilot though unfortunately , still great memories though .
That was a pretty groovy video to watch. I love the ability of planes like that which,allow you to get in and out of tight places. A friend of mine went up to Alaska for about six months of bush flying. That was 40 years ago when they were building the pipeline. Last I heard, about 5 years ago, was that he is still thinking about coming back home. Someday.
I'm not a pilot, but a mear aviation enthusiast. I find your videos highly informative and entertaining. I like the instructor, and I'm a huge fan on Cub Crafters so this video was just what I was looking for. Thanks for posting.
That looks too fun! One of my favorite parts of flight training was shortfield takeoff/landing techniques, and I'd love to fly a Carbon Cub. Thanks for the video!
Great to still see the passion for the job from your instructor..very professional all the way , OUTSTANDING JOB we need more instructors like him ...love to get back into the air flight chop ..rusty pilot just move back to Toronto..what is the best way to do that ..need a mentor pilot. please let me know.
Looking at those flaps, it looks like it would shade the tail for prop wash to some effect, obviously not the case though. I watched some contests with these type planes, shortest in and out...truly amazing some of them. Sort of like how much field do you need? Well, this two lane road we're sitting on, cross wise, should about do it. How much to land? Two, maybe one. It looks like a cartoon, not reality when some of those guys shoot a landing (planting?). If you sped that rear view up, on take off, it would basically look like a high performance fighter climb out. "...T6" "Sight picture's gonna be a little lower" LOL, like a go kart vs a van. "Good to practice go around anyway, right?" Good ole' lemonade from lemons, always worked for me. @20:24 That WAS awesome. I KNEW he was going to correct that beautiful 3 point greaser. Boy, I can sure see why you are having some problems keying into that 'glide' slope...it looks space shuttle like. I see it, and say "What is wrong with this picture"...and the reply is WHICH airport are we landing at? Cool to see an aircraft so different from anything I ever flew. I remember my first 152 solo, at seven hours. Instructor said, it'll be light without me, it's gonna wanna float. As I turned final, my thought was, oh boy, I'm halfway to Mars...and if I hadn't been looking at a freakin 9000 foot runway, I would have just continued at basically pattern altitude (not really, but it was bad). My instructor was at the 4500' mark, and I thought, time to practice some slip. Thinking I'd just call go round if I was still airborn at the mid point, I just made the touch at 4500. Did the go round, the next one was on the numbers...shot a third, as we'd discussed, also good. Landed a bit further down the third intentionally, but after a normal approach, and taxied a short quick length to pick him up, and after establishing a good climb and a bit of altitude I said Well? 'First one was a LITTLE high' with a big smile. I laughed and said 'ya think?', told him what my alternate plan had been and he said 'yeah, makes sense'. I said "So, overall" Reply "Not the best I've ever seen, certainly not the worst", after that first one they looked OK. About what I expected. I remember it was all so overwhelming at that stage, and when you put the radio, and a few gauge covers, and maybe some pattern or stall work on top of it, and maybe a little bit of navigation, it got downright overloading. I remember saying a few times "Just wait, flying the plane". All of that came up because your instructor reminded me a lot of the one I had, always low key, to the point, seemed to sense the things I was doing wrong when I couldn't, and knew what to work when...mine was a little more comedic at times, though, the RIGHT times fortunately. And your landing 'picture' was pretty damned close to mine that first landing...problem was I wasn't in the plane you're flying here.
Good video Steve, would be cool if you came to Utah and flew with mark and I for some off airport flying, which we define as non marked non airstrip landing.
Excellent CFI. Can't get past that "cartoon" nose bowl on the Carbon Cub though. Looks like it was thought up by a little kid after a Saturday morning of watching cartoons! Fun flying with a top notch Instructor. Thank you for sharing! "Mike" Kelly
Wonderful Video! While in Alaska I landed on a bunch of grass fields. I did not get to Fly or train in a STOL type aircraft. I had a ball because I flew in and out of Merrill field which I believe is the largest GA Airport in the world and Trained in Mountain Flying. The Air seemed pure and the scenery was so beautiful - I enjoyed every moment! The people I met were wonderful and very accommodating! I’m from Oklahoma and I was told I spoke with a New York Accent! 😎. Excellent Video keep up the great work!!
Man, those Carbon Cubs are nice planes. My first flight was in a 1973 PA-18 owned and flown by an aerial aviation company based out of Pitman, NJ back in 1982. That plane was bare bones compared to these CCs. But the design is classic and my #1 GA favorite. A real airplane that gives me a real sense of what flying is all about.
My heart would be beating out of my chest landing that. If you have a smartwatch or other heartrate tracker it would be neat to see you show how your body reacts to these situations. Great vid as always!
Hey! The first time I was up in a plane was near Hood River (closer to White Salmon really). It was a modified kit built Super Cub that my grandpa's friend had built. He took off downhill and landed uphill on a short strip and it was a crazy experience. Nowadays I live in North Idaho (plenty of small strips around here) and the company I work at makes some parts for the Quest Kodiak. Great video, and really interesting stuff to see.
Non pilot here. At 7:27 the throttle lever is visible, but why are there two? The big black one says "closed low" and the little blue one says "throttle rpm". The pilot seems to fiddle with both. What do they do?
Watching this series of you flying the CC makes me want one SOOOOOOO bad ! I fly a 1/4 scale RC J3 and I feel like I could walk strait into one of these and feel right at home. Just need another 200K. LOL
Go take lots of flying with rudder acft. Get to the level of landing on one main gear then rotation to the other side landing gear, a few times on a fairly long runway, then go around and do it again. This will truly train your cross- control skills
Neat! I now realize that this is the kind of thing I've been trying to do in our motor glider, i.e. the no-flare landing. Which probably isn't achievable in that sort of aircraft, which is normally deadsticked in anyway. I'll have to find me a cub to practice in instead :).
This is an old video, but with your new ones you're talking about distracted flying. You totally had a moment where that happened in this video! It wasn't dangerous because you were high, but in slow flight you and you're CFI were distracted with the trim problem. Good learning moment.
Thanks @@Quick_Bisquick It sure is a fun event. OPEN invite to anyone who wants to attend. It's good content for creators. And literally any airplane (that can tolerate a bit of dust, non-filtered turbine aircraft be aware) can attend.
TacAero ,.. Thats almost in may back yard, (thanks for the info) ... I'll have to book some time with them, did not know about them, would be great to showcase more of these tail dragger schools... I NEED TO FLY BUSH PLANE ! :)
This is a great lesson for all of us MSFS pilots struggling to land everywhere in the Cub X and Shock Ultra.
I can’t even land a cub in infinite flight
Haha, same here, loving the XCub so far but a looot to learn!
@@auggith It's easier in a field than on a runway :D

Freaking amazing CFI. Damn. Great use of talking but never too much.
Clear, concise instruction.
Michael Carr for sure man. Can’t imagine another CFI doing any better. 🤙
I was thinking the same thing listening to this.
Awesome! We need to get together to do some backcountry flying soon 🤘
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: a Flying Cowboys, Flightchops, JP, Matt Guthmiller, and Steveo1kinevo collaboration would be like watching the Avengers come together. If you all did a fly-by of La Vagabond I think heads might explode from awesome overdose.
Ryne Treatch ya except for Matt Guthmiiler
@@rynetreatch9558
Even gets La Vagabonde in there. You are the UA-cam man my friend.
Excellent comment. Totally agree!! Just add Premier 1 Driver (P1D) for the jet set. :-)
I would also consider Sailing SV Delos in this collaboration.
This guy's a very good instructor, imo. Excellent verbal skills, very clear and concise. And relaxed, chill demeanor helps as well I'm sure.
Great instructor, I liked his style.
Neil Sheets agreed! So much fun to learn from a good instructor!
Brad is a total stud. One of TacAero best!
what style?

This guy's living a dream. Kicking around the world, flying different wings. Damn!
Great video. Really love the AoA alerter on the FX3. Very easy to understand and use to help manage your energy.
Thanks - and agreed, the AOA beepy thingy is very cool.
4 view camera at the same time was awesome! Thanks

Give tail wheel a try in whatever type you can get access to!
Awesome! I live 1 hour 30 minutes away from Hood River, Newberg Oregon. I plan on starting ground school in January then flight training after words.
lmao afterwards
A new flight chops video always gets me excited!!
This is my goal, to be a bush pilot. I'm super happy that you're doing this series and look forward to the next episodes.
FlightChops, creating magic! Thanks Steve. One of your best.
Brad is an awesome CFI
Yeah - I’d fly with him again anytime!
@@FlightChops why?
What a cool plane! And an awesome instructor. Thanks to this channel I've started looking into getting a pilot's license of my own
I like his instructing style. Great video.
Great instructor and student. Awesome video.

This needs to happen. Love your videos Jason!
I like that idea. I’ll have to join as well 😜
@@TrentonPalmer You're not allowed to fly with Cub Crafter aircraft anymore. They'll get a complex... :)
I vote yes on this as well.
Yeah - we’ll find a time to make it happen!
These guys are way more technical then I’ve ever been in the backcountry. But it true that a pilot needs to know his/her aircraft in every situation.
Excellent CFI. Can't get past that "cartoon" nose bowl on the Carbon Cub though. Looks like it was thought up by a little kid after a Saturday morning of watching cartoons! Fun flying with a top notch Instructor. Thank you for sharing! "Mike" Kelly
Man, that guy is a great instructor!!
Your TacAero CFI had a good demeanor and info delivery. Impressed. Of course he had an excellent student to make him look good, too. ; )
Wow brad! I am so proud of you. You did an amazing job instructing and you have some so far. I love you bro! ❤️
very good video. also the instructor is doing a VERY GOOD job. absolutely calm at all times, i love him!
Man, those Carbon Cubs are sweet!
Great video. Perfectly edited.
Such a sweet plane, The FX line is so popular that estimated delivery time is 18 months... thanks for sharing
I think that might be partially my fault - the last series I did with cub crafters got over a million combined views :P. Now I can’t even get one!
@@FlightChops no worries man, that plane is Slightly outside of my price range...
Great video. Tacaero has a great group of guys, they helped me out at High Sierra. Planning to come up and do some training.
Brilliant instructor. First rate. Very interesting video.
Thanks FlightChops and TacAero. That's the best explanation I've seen about how the back country approaches are flown. Stinson guy.
I want to do more backcountry flying! This is awesome
Was really cool to hear about the different approach profiles, really interesting!!
Cool yeah - it is cool that what was ~2 hours of training and briefings came together so clearly in a ~20 min video. :)
Excellent instructor!
Too cool! I think I saw my grandparent's place. The burger joint at the end of the runway is killer.
LOL, when you fly a Carbon Cub, it's a $200 burger. ;-)
Great video. Your instructor has a really good manner aswell 👍
Great video thanks for putting this together very interesting .... I could watch this all day ..
Love this sort of feedback - because editing this stuff to make it digestible takes all day, for several days :)
Great instructor. A rare and highly capable breed

What a cool video, amazing instructor and what a dream plane. Imagine this thing with a 4 blade 800shp turboprop.
Can’t wait to come up from Australia and do you bush training, looks like fun. Good skills guys. I’m impressed. Soon.....

I love landing in hood river but during the summer the winds and DA can cause some interesting challenges especially when taking off to the east
Awesome stuff! Backcountry flying is really HOT right now and proper training is essential for maximum safety. Keep it up!
Awesome Steve, I agree with Jason, go and fly in Utah with the cowboys and shoot a couple of videos too. Cheers from Aussie.
Took my First ever GA flight there a few years back! A great company!!

I trained with a buddy up in Alaska who flew a lot of off airport stuff. It was great experience before I flew in the backcountry of Botswana.
Sounds like Bryan Wilson 's background
Now you're exploring STOL you should go fly with the Flying Cowboys. I'm sure Trent Palmer in his newly upgraded kitfox would love to have you along.
Echin0idea if you can get Hailey out of the co-pilot seat that is!
Awesome mate.
Excellent instructor.
That was a freaking awesome vid Mr. C!
That is great communication from both teacher and student.
Great camera angles, superb flying. Steve, you were all over it !
Right in my back yard! So glad you got to see some good oregon scenery cant wait to see the trip!
You guys are the best. Way cool video. Wishing you the best in all your adventures.
Steve, I was once a 1/2 owner of a J3 and was close to buying a Super Cub. Maybe I will go with one of the Carbon Cubs.
Try landing on Alaskan mountain tops, river bars or glaciers!😉👌
Those big shocks on the landing gear absorb hard landings eliminates bouncing.
Awesome video, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it David!
Nice plane. You won't need much time to get comfortable. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video with great scenery
