- To look at an original Piper J-3 Cub, you'd have to say, "What's the big deal?" Tube and fabric construction and a cork for a gas gauge. Yet the Cub idea endures in the form of several LSA Cub clones. In this video, AVweb's Paul Bertorelli gets a flight demo in the Legend Cub and in CubCrafters' S2.
Learned to fly and soloed in a J3 Cub when I was 15 way back in 1945. Those were the days.
Paul Bertorelli : THE Most understated dude in Flying !
I learned on in a j3 built in 1941. I loved that airplane! I had a 152 aero, a 172 and a 180 that I learned in, as well, but the cub was my favorite, by far!
I know Im quite off topic but do anyone know a good website to stream newly released series online?
@Lane Drake I watch on FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)
This was my solo aircraft. Was converted to tricycle landing gear. I can still hear my instructor screaming when I didn’t ease nose down GENTELY after main gear touched!! You’re gonna snap my nose gear!!!
Excellent review Paul. I always enjoy your videos.
the best HD video and audio on UA-cam.
The engine cowl fasteners look like a big improvement over the old ones.
If the old Piper Cubs that are still flying today have lasted as long as they have, I see no reason why these new Cub Legends woudl not.
What do they burn per gallon, I have looked everywhere and could not find it
A Fair Comparison ! That one wasn't bad. Regards from Alaska...
I got my private cert long ago when I was a teen (1971). My flight school at LaGuardia in NYC used Cherokee 140's. Soon afterwards I had to quit flying due to a health glitch. I never got to take my girlfriend (now wife) for a ride. Now with LSA as an option my goal is to get a new LSA airplane and make up for that lost flight out of LaGuardia. Yes, you can fly small birds in LGA. We had rules back then, you just have to know the new rules and procedures. A Super Cub or Legend would be great.
In my dreams. Low tech meets high tech. The sky is the limit.
Number 2 is my favorite
What are the prices they ask for these beautiful machines?
@7GolfAlpha I'm accustomed to flying 172's and I learned on a Diamond DA-20. My flying club actually has 1 old Piper Cub, and I am hoping to book an intro flight with it this summer. I certainly hope to get around to it. Any insight you can offer on my first attempt?
I love the Sport Cub, much better than the overpriced Legend Cub.
Another great vid...super information!! Thanks!!
Why does the oil pressure gauge show no pressure while flying? That's not right... Awesome plane though! I love it! Thanks for the vid.
Id like to see something like this with a Rotex 915 on it. Should be a good machine in the mountains.
I'd love for A2A Simulations to put out an LSA cub.
With only one com what if your asked to squawk isnt that done on a second com ???
The “squawk” code is entered in a device that is separate and independent from com radios called the transponder. The transponder is interrogated by air traffic control’s radar, and depending on the level of your transponder, can report back the 4 digit code, altitude, call sign, and some can receive information as well, which allows the display of other aircraft with a transponder if your aircraft has that capability.
It’s important to note that neither a transponder nor a com radio is part of the minimum required equipment as long as the airplane is operated outside of controlled airspace (the vast majority of airspace is the US is categorized as uncontrolled, as are the majority of the more than 5000 airports). The original Cubs are popular among the purists because they are typically operated where radios and transponders are not needed, however many owners retrofitted these items to give the option to operate in other types of airspace.
He hasnt aged a day
Boy he it the nail on the head when he stated "There's not too much to them" That goes for most airplanes of this type. They are far less sophisticated to produce for say automobiles and use a lot less material. Yet for the price of the damned things you could buy a hand built high end sports car.
videoclipits. supply and demand,
the CC cub has a face :P
Is this Garfield speaking?
I would rather have the cub.
I WANT IT
Cars don't have to go through as expensive of a certification process.
Scrapheap71. sure they do. hell, to get a car certified privately for import is several hundred grand, the OEs spend much more.
Anyone notice the fuel levels, someone was enjoying themselves
So does the legend cub have a full auto-pilot?
And they are both grossly overpriced with absurd option tags.
Sangyoon Kim. nope, they are successful offerings because of the price and options. LSA has simply turned out to be a bastion for aging GA pilots looking to extend their flying years beyond what medical might otherwise allow.
so they have money an expectation of performance and amenities and even fond memories of the original Cub.
The simple fact is theres no market for inexpensive entry level craft today, because there are so few cash strapped entry level pilots entering the field.
so where is the comparison? conclusion? It seems like the Norden is a much sofisticated and better plane than those...
cars are boring
