If your out cruising come see us at 6m6
I will! that's definitely in cruising range.
Bring your plane to KSPI for EAA Chapter 770’s Wings & Wheels Fly-in & Car Show October 5th
I'll put it on my calendar! Thanks
did you find out what was causing the hummmm?
One of if not your best video. I like the narration, hearing about the landings and stuff.
That was not to put you down, just fyi.
You’re microphone sucks, only opens when you speak, breaks up a lot, we may be getting about 65 to 70% of what ur saying. Enjoyed the flight. When ur talking to airport, it is all clear. FYI, so you can make a fix.
Wonderful video! Looks like a fun time, can't wait to get my tailwheel!
John, I miss it all. Beautiful flight. CAB
Thanks Cab! - are you headed to Oshkosh this year?
Have you found the cause of the Hummmm?
Not yet, it has been less noticeable since my condition inspection. I can't figure out why it would have changed with the inspection. Maybe it was a inspection plate that was vibrating?? Look for a video in the near future!
Awesome plane love the paint scheme.
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
Nice grass in your home airport, why not land on it ?
Thanks for watching! If you look at the video at 16:17 There is a puddle, there are similar puddles on the West side of the runway due to the way the runway drains. I simply did not want to wipe mud from the plane.
Can you please tell me how you install the smoke system, and where do you purchase it?
I had Cubcrafters install the system when I did my factory build. My previous airplane I had my mechanic install it. I purchased it from www.smokingairplanes.com
What mount do you use for your iPad?
That is a Ram Mount. Works great!
Temp. 60F , DP 58F : carb ice is just around the corner... Thanks for sharing.
❤ your videos. Keep’m coming! And good luck getting rid of that darn hum! PS Are you on Instagram?
The plane that landed on the heli pad was an SS, not an FX2. Sweet plane you have there!
Starting a FX3 build first week of June - any advice/recommendations?
Nothing that comes to mind, it was a great experience. Tell everyone hi! It is a very well run program.
I’m located at 93C - lots of great grass strips up here. We’ll have to get together sometime. I’ve connected with a builder in Waukesha also who has a FX2 and FX3.
I’m headed to Waukesha, Spring City Aviation for condition inspection in the next couple weeks
Awesome video! I start my FX-3 build in July and can't wait! How did going with a custom paint scheme work? Did you have someone outside of Cubcrafters design it?
Have fun! It was a great experience. I contacted Scheme Designers they were great to work with. I went to the three companies at OshKosh and decided on Scheme designers. Cub crafters works with them quite a bit. There is of course a charge for their work and Cubcrafters charges for the custom paint. I think it was well worth it.
It sounds like you have narrowed it down to your drag wires which I would agree with the factory that is your most likely cause. The first set of wires are accessible where they intersect by pulling the tank covers assuming you have extended tanks. They would be the most likely since they have the most opportunity to vibrate against something and closest to your ears. You should see an insulation sheath on at least one of those if the factory installs them the same way they recommend in the builder's manual. I could think of a few ways to secure those but a guy that straightens teeth for a living knows several, I am sure.
Thank you very much for the comment! I am going to shoot Pete at Cubcrafters and Email and see if I can get a few pages from the builders manual and take a close look in the wing tank area ( I have extended tanks). I have been meaning to take the covers off for an unrelated issue - watch for video!
Since I am retired and have a lot of time on my hands to think about these things, I concluded that a Db Meter pointed in the leading-edge opening (rag holder) might help identify the offending wing where the noise is originating from. Just a thought....
@@kevinestes2431 really good thought - I think there is an app for that that can put on my phone. I think it’s the left wing as only the left exterior camera picks it up. I’m semi retired and should be able to look in the wing on Thursday
Good luck, JS. I know you'll figure this out. Greatly enjoyed your video and the tour of the Central Illinois landing sites. Beautiful bird. All the best, Cab
Good to see you had a great day of flying. I am sorry to hear that my theory was wrong. I was pretty sure it was the cable humming. Please let us know if you find the culprit.
I really thought it was going to be one of those two things - thanks for the input however!
What about the horizontal stab brace wires (4)? If you tap them are they taught?
For sure - I pluck them every preflight
We live in Napa full time come see us❤

Is there a particular year or sub model that has the square dash? The Super Cubs I’ve seen always have a rounded dash.
Excellent question: All older Supercubs were produced with the rounded panel. The square panel is an upgrade/aftermarket item, a STC, Supplemental Type Certificate is required as it is a certified airplane. This modification was placed at the rebuild of the plane in 2007 to accommodate more instruments. The holder of the STC is Cubcrafters and the panel and paperwork to document it is available from them. Thanks for watching!!
@@Cubonaut875 that’s awesome. I currently rent a PA-28 with a couple G5s in the stock panel. The G5s were super helpful for me. It made it much easier to move toward a full glass cockpit after being so used to “steam gauges” for so long. I’d love to have a classic Super Cub with a G1000.
@@oscarfoxman785 - I sold the airplane in the video and I now have a Carbon Cub with a kinda like G1000, a G3X touch. czcams.com/video/ZjT-QAGSDVs/video.htmlsi=D-L8oqMURhjtt_NX Check out my other videos. Thanks for Watching!
That’s quite a Humm to me. It sounds like a cable humming to me ?
I have 3 separate theories to try, cable him is one. Now if the weather would clear and I could go flying, I’ll have a solution video (I hope)
I fly a 150 with an engine monitor that has carb temp. If the carb temp goes below freezing, I’ll start partial carb heating after I get to 1000’ AGL after takeoff, even at max power on climb out. I always do full carb heat on descent when below 70F. Yesterday I flew while it was freezing out and kept partial to full carb heat to 35 or more degrees the entirety of my flight. Never an issue. Even with reduced power on climbs, the cold weather gives 500’/min. easy.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I have switched over to an airplane with a fuel injected engine - Carb ice solved! Watch my other videos to see my journey from carb to fuel injection.
Man would I love to come out and fly in my favorite Tailwheel Aircraft and do a few takeaways from this take offs and landings
You are the first one I see with a "raised" tailwheel. If you have big bushwheel you can do that, so you can see something in front of you. Seeing nothing is a PITA with taildraggers. Some install a camera (Trent Palmer), but why does not anybody follow your example ?
They are actually quite common- the one on the PA-18 is a T3 from Airframes Alaska. My new FX3 has a Stinger from Acme Aero. Thank you for watching!
When I had an issue with hum it was a couple screws missing from an inspection plate under the Cub.
That's very interesting! I went back to check one of your earlier videos, "$200.00 Egg McMuffin, Carbon Cub FX3" and I can hear it slightly at ~3:50 and again at ~13:00. This video the sound is more prominent and It seems to be consistent and happening only when your setup to land and on a left turn. It sounds just like when one blows across the top of an empty bottle known as Helmholtz Resonance. It's difficult to pin point which side its coming from but my guess is the left side. Check the ends of your flaps in the landing configuration for any open holes, open areas on landing gear members, open areas on wing strut ends, etc., to see if there are any cavities where the wind may be blowing across causing the resonance. Beautiful Carbon Cub by the way.
It definitely has been doing it since I accepted delivery of the plane, about 50 hours of flying ago. It is just annoying, and has become more of an obsession of late to figure out what it is. Helmholtz resonance - Cool! expect to hear that term in the next video! Thank you very much for watching and your input. New video to come out when it stops rain, sleet snowing here with, hopefully a solution.
check all tension connections on the elevator and rudder, you might be getting some vibration that you aren't feeling but is making the noise and I'd look at the exact air speed when i comes on and off.
It usually happens between 75 and 60 when I start to slow down. Cable tension is good - checked that. Thanks for the reply and input - greatly appreciated!
Sounds like it is a harmonic motion induced by a low speed low power setting. Try changing the tension on the aileron cable and see if it still happens or if the hum changes pitch. Think about tuning a guitar string.
Seems we pretty much narrowed it down to aileron cable tension and wing root faring. Now I just have to wait for the weather to improve here -Peoria, Illinois, to test these solutions
The hum in your video is a pure tone, generally at about 366Hz. You can occasionally hear it change tone slightly. Between 11:05 and 11:10 it goes from 366 Hz to 377 Hz. I think that's too high a frequency to be the fundamental mode of your aileron cables (my earlier theory) or the tail brace wires. It could still be a harmonic. Still, it would be hard to square that with sudden shifts in frequency. I only looked at that slice of time mentioned above; it might be fruitful to look at more of the data. I don't think your camera will be much help in isolating this. At that frequency, it would need to have a very high frame rate to see it. At some points it seemed like we might be seeing aliasing, which is what you'd expect from too-low sampling. I'd definitely suggest trying to get your eyeballs on it. (Or a super-duper high-speed camera.) For what it's worth, vortex shedding at 370 Hz and 60 knots would be from something around 1/2 inch in diameter. Like a jury strut.
Great comment - thank you! Very interesting that you say a half inch gap, there is literally almost a half inch gap between the plexiglass and the rubber wing root fairing. I'm going to tape it next flight. If you are a Supercub.org member in the Video vault section, I posted the above video and also pictures of the gap in the fairing. Let me know if you are not a member and I can figure out a way to get the photo to you. As far as the aliasing, with my limited knowledge, is an electronic processing result ( correct me if I'm wrong ). When I take my headset offhand listen to it, even with my high frequency impaired hearing, it sounds the same as in the video. Thank you very much for your input!
I'll take a look. Regarding aliasing, I was referring to the video. Like when you see propellers rotating backwards in movies. If the video shows the cable jumping in odd ways between frames, that could be a clue. At what speed does this happen? Slow enough to open the window? I wonder if opening the window would change it. My FX-3 was doing this on many of my early flights, but now it seems to have stopped.
@@scotthunziker3506 it’s usually downwind turn to base, base and turning final - stopped on final - so I guess 70 to 60 - I definitely could open the window
If ur latest theories don't pan out, and u are comfortable doing this. How about taking her up to safe altitude,, simulate ur landing app, and shut the motor of. I suggest doing this directly over ur landing field and only long enough to dismiss some possibilities... Good luck!!
My fx2 did the same thing. I believe it is the cable going up the back of strut. If yo cut a piece of hose and slide it over the cable rite where the cable is closest to strut and dab a little silicon to hold it to the strut the noise will be gone. Pics to follow. It really can’t be seen it’s like a guitar string. That’s my 2 cents.
I will definitely try that. Amazing your FX2 did the same thing, they are basically the same plane, different prop. Thank you!
Did you figure it out.
Not yet - snowing here. It’s either the aileron cable or the wing root fairing. I’ll check separately to find out which. Stay tuned - it’s major winter storm here for the next week- so I’m grounded for at least a week
I am no expert by any means (disclaimer) but it seems an angle of attack wind speed caused issue. I kind of hear a sound like plexiglass/plastic vibrating against metal. Take that for what its worth.
Does it do it in right turns to land? I see you're always turning left when it happens. Also, is the skylight (top glass) secure?
I don't know anything about smoke systems but knowing you have one maybe try pulling the breaker on that?
Check your flap gap seals, wing root fairings for any abnormalities. When your pulling back power during that slight left turn you might be setting up a scenario where wind speed and angle of attack are both inducing a harmonic resonance on one of these items. Steve Michaud EX-3 Driver
I definitely think that may be the issue.. I went to the hangar and there is indeed a gap in the wing root fairing. Stay tuned for further updates.
My new favorite channel- keep ‘em coming!!
Thanks!!!
Hi JS, I can hear that all the way out in PHX. Does it change with different flap settings? Still, I agree it sounds like cable resonance to me. Beautiful aircraft. Stay safe. CAB
Flap settings do not seem to change it.
I've occasionally heard something like that on my FX-3, and I think it's the aileron control cable resonating like a violin string. If you narrow it down to a particular span of the cable, maybe you could crimp a bit of lead from your fishing tackle box to it mid-span to confirm.
This sounds most plausible of all , probably why the left camera mounted on the strut hears it. I definitely check that theory out !
You know - I wonder if it happens with a right pattern 🤔
Try a landing with the fuel pump off.
Definitely did that - no different- I’m really thinking it has something to do with the smoke system and the check valve
does it stop when you shut the engine off and let it windmill?
No - does not stop when at idle - kinda weird for sure
I have never heard that sound on my FX3 or any other FX3 I’ve flown. That is very strange
Not sure why you would want smoke on a Cub unless you did air shows. From the looks of it that plane's not made for fat guys. That would suck if you couldn't pull up because you ate too many cheese burgers! (or beers)
Nice plane. There's not as many places in the area that we need one of those but it would be a blast. Sweet plane, have fun and be safe!
