Personally, I'd keep the Luscombe over the Cub. Luscombes are a bit more squirrelly on the ground, but are a lot fun, not to mention quite a bit faster on the same hp. You also will command a bit more respect as a tailwheel pilot if you fly a Luscombe.
I would keep both. I mean come on, CUB! So iconic but the Luscombe is a more practical plane.
@@trevorfurlotte agreed
Agreed. Both are unique in their own way.
Same here, I vote: keep-’em both !
Luscombes were too narrow for two full size men in my opinion. I like the tandem seating and open door flying better. Both are super sweet planes.
I’d keep the Luscombe too. Of course, I already own an 8E! Don’t buy the hype that they’re more squirrelly on the ground. They are just more responsive to the rudder pedals on the ground. If you try and taxi it like a Cub, stomping on the pedals, you’ll ground loop it. They like finesse, like any grand lady does!
By squirrelly, I meant essentially what you said. You have to have a bit more finesse, that said, I and countless others learned to fly tailwheels in a Luscombe. If I knew a guy only had Luscombe time, I'd let him go fly a Cub. If a guy only had Cub time, I wouldn't let him fly the Luscombe without getting some training in it.
@@JC-wr7mu so where do I fit in having all champ time with the exception of an hour in a Cub ?
@@mikeryan6277 Nothing wrong with all Champ time, but I'd highly recommend getting some training in a Luscombe before you flew one solo.
@@JC-wr7mu for sure and will if I ever get the opportunity but for now my friend only has Cubs Chiefs and Champs. Thank for the response fly safe.
@@mikeryan6277 All great airplanes and a lot of fun to fly. Also more comfortable, especially if you are a bit taller. Cubs and Champs cost a fortune for a good one, Chiefs are a really good airplane that you can find for reasonable money.
Who’d a thunk it? Jimmy has 380,000 subscribers and growing rapidly. Actually, when I saw his first videos I was pretty sure he would be a hit! CZcams is becoming the video library for everyone thanks to guys like Jimmy.
Love that lady! She knows her stuff!
I loved flying the 8A. I put around 150 hours on the all metal wing version in 4 years while I was in college. I found wheel landing to be the best way control it on the ground. Many of my college friends got their first experience flying in in a small plane with me. They had a lot of fun watching me hand prop it. This was flat-out the most fun seat-of-the-pants low and slow experience I ever had in the air. Wish I could afford one now. Thanks for the memories Jimmy.
Hey Jimmy! I was in Air Force Tech school with you! Dirt Boys lead the way! Been watching you ever since!!!
I tried to resist, but I just can't: IYAAYAS.
Loved the dubbing, it looked like a bad Chinese karate movie from the 70's.
I just got my Bellanca Super Viking in the air yesterday. First flight in 19 years!!! I wish I could attach the video.
Would have been funny if you had the Bad Lip Reading guy do the over dub
Yes. I love the narrator at the end, too.
Keep that Luscombe! It is gorgeous! I bet your son would love that plane as his first one! Keep it up, really enjoying your channel!
Cheers!
My late father-in-law was a retired airline check pilot and when he hung up his monkey suit and came home to stay he added a sweet old Luscombe 8 to his harem of Cub Cruisers, Meyers, and Mooney's. This is a guy who flew everything from Constellations to 747-400's but he absolutely loved that Luscombe airplane. I pray this one brings you as much joy.
I'd keep the luscombe.
Don't like eating bugs.
Thank you for the "I'm dubbing" message Jimmy - Drinking a few beers, and thought my internal audio processor was whacked!
Great episode. Gotta ask who is doing Morgan Freeman impressions at the end. Man that's spot on. 😮
I think the engine would have started on maybe 2 because Jessy did a couple of half-assed pulls on the prop 😀I think he was trying to rig the competition on how may it would to take to get it going...hahaha
I agree with the Luscombe over a Cub! Jimmy, you would have better starting if you pulled the prop thru when priming. I had a 65 HP Chief and a Luscombe - both hand start, and they started very well in summer and winter. I think they were Eisman mags which were made with platinum points- never had trouble with them. Slick mags are ok if you overhaul them every 400-500 hours, and they do not hand start near as well.
Thats Right!
That Luscombe is a beaut, keep it! Everyone has seen a Cub, great stuff but man, I'd love that Luscombe! :D
I love seeing those old planes!! Thank you Jimmy!!
Yeah it's very interesting. Thanks God jimis world
@Maria CANCER God Bless n Good fortunes sent your way.. Stay hydrated..
BLESSED relief from background music from 5:55 - 6:35. Please consider us old fartos that would prefer to hear clear channel. 🙏
Never mind the Cub, love the Luscombe can’t wait to see it fly. Juan Brown from the Blancolirio channel has a beautiful one.
Wakin with Jimmy! A treat to get a new video this morning. Keep the Luscombe! And the Cub! Fly with Cletus and Blancolerio!
Jimmy

Jimmy, give us more videos, more often. You have quickly become my favorite CZcams channel!!!
I love your wit, your personality, your intelligence, your boldness, your humor, really, I love everything about your videos. Except you don't make enough of them. HELLLLP!
Jimmy,,
I just love watching you in action !
You remind me of my younger brother to the tee.
You two men are exactly like two peas in a pod!!
We would some day really like to meet up with ya for a Mountain Dew and chat for a spell!!
I am falling in love with that brown bird!!
Glad you and your AP’s were able to get that fuel leak fixed!!
The "Morgan Freeman" had me going for a second. Nice work!
My ODD has beat me to death. I have been avoiding it since you started this trek. The American flag they have hanging in the back should have the stars on the left side if they are hanging it like that. Love your series so far.
I would keep the luscombe better air plane great video thanks Jimmy and jesse
Hey Jimmy, really enjoy the content. Keep up the good work.
Mornin Jimmy, thank you for doing what you do!!
Jimmy I am just loving this series of videos! I can't wait till the next one.
Glad to see you have found a great side kick! He is a great fella i can tell. The new formula for the channel is outstanding! The outro with the Morgan Friedman sounding narrator is perfect! Keep it up brother, the family has been watching your every video for two year now and we are huge fans. Was awesome to see you flying with Cleeter recently too. God Bless you and thanks for the great aviation education and entertainment, Really got my family of 7 kids wanting to learn to fly planes now ..Thanks man...lol
Thanks so much! I highly recommend all those rascals get in the air! Clear Prop!
Cold compression checks are higher than hot because the cylinder is a choke bore & expands to straight when hot. Cold the rings are tight & oil thick. Also you can buy gaskets & screens for old fuel bowls at tractor supply.
Dang, ending narration by Morgan Freeman, you’re getting fancy! 🤣
Jimmy, my first AC was a 46 Luscombe 8A with metal wings and it cost me $1200 with annual and a mid time engine. Of course that was back in 1969. It appears they are going for $15 to $25 k now days. To bad you didn't get in touch with me. I am located near Marshall, Tx. I would have loved to travel an assist you on these taildragger AC. It is not to late.
Love seeing the adventures you get into.
Welcome to Jimmy's World, where you just never know what he is going to get himself into....Always enjoy watching Jimmy and know he is a good patriot as well.....
I have my grandfather's flight logs from the mid 50s when he got his pilots license. Most of his time was in a Lusc 8A. Cool to see one up close!
I’ve loved this Luscombe from the 1st video. I’d love to get my hands on it for sure!! It’s a beauty
My father had a Luscombe for many years till his failing eyesight forced him to give up flying. He missed it and flying. To see that plane come back to life - sweet.
It does an old pilot good to see you bring these pieces of history back to life. I'd love to fly that Jenny and Luscombe! Open cockpit, bugs in your teeth! That's what I'm sayin'!
My first solo was in a Luscombe 8F. Was fun to fly especially on skis, this was back in 1965. My first lesson was at 8,000 feet because of turbulance and a hawk passed over head just a few feet above us. I was amazed to see a bird at that altitude. In my later years of flying I was engaged with a couple birds flying at altitude at night. One made a mess of my Twin Comanche's wind screen and another on the nose of my Aztec.
You guys are doing great. Love the videos keep them coming.
I think the "J Team" works well together. Keep it up Jimmy and Jessie
Hey, what about Grizzly??
@@ClearedAsFiled not an intentional diss... I didn't see Grizzly in this video series
@@jrholand He helped Jimmy with the 310...he is the electrical guy!!!
@@ClearedAsFiled yes, I know who he is... but he was not in this barn buy series
You guy's need fiber gask material to fix that leak with. Smear A light skim coat of grease on the fiber gasket for sealing purposes only.& For easy removal for the next time replacement easier that way to. good job guys!
Channels getting better and better.
Love it.
0:15 - I'm now in love with that control panel in the Luscombe! In fact I'm in love with the whole airplane, what a beauty!
Pretty good Morgan Freeman at the end. Happy Face! The Luscombe is a beautiful airplane.
Nice plane hardest to land for sure. This plane is where the saying " you fly in until the engine stops" comes from. A humbling ground looping landing / taxi is guaranteed the minute you stop paying attention.
Gas can dissolve rubber gaskets so make sure you use one designed for that system.
Buy a sheet of fiber gasket material and make your own, it works with almost any fluid.
First like! Onya Jimmy! You are doing good things mate. Keep it going..
All the way from Australia. Love the channel.
This is a great adventure and gets better with each video!
Great work all, nice to see these old girls getting TLC and being given to chance to do what they were born to do.
I can personally vouch for the controls grips. Mine never failed me on my bicycle some 60 years ago. 😊
many many years ago I fell in love with airplanes.... nice to see someone that was able to collect and hold on to those flying treasures....
When I was in High School, I told my dad, "Someday I will own an airplane."
He said: "No Son, you will not." I am in my 70's now and never did own an airplane. 😿
I owned a 1946 8A for years and loved it, your looking good...i want it
Great video and getting better with each new one. Love the dry comments at the end too.
I'm 77 years old, and still work at work - an old crock too. Great Show!
2:30 AM And a fresh video drop from Jimmy's World ..G'Day from Australia
Ditch the Cub and keep the Luscombe! Those things are gorgeous!
Good morning from Minnesota! I would also keep the Luscomb. Side by side seating is great for learning and giving rides.
While the Cub is a great addition to the Jimmy's World fleet, I vote that he keeps the Luscombe too. Save the Luscombe T-shirt in 3...2....1
What a treat, to hear that engine purring.
Friday afternoon, new Jimmy's video, paradise!
Fun to watch. Thanks
Lascombe is so far my favorite of this lot. Really cool plane, sounds neat to.
❤You go my friend. I love the video.I wish this was the all metal version I would buy it with DENNIS.
Luscombe is a very beautiful little plane.
Much better than the Cub.
All metal luscombe over a fabric cub with all the problems of fabric. And the sturdy compartmentalize construction of the luscombe. Better air speeds on the same horsepower. Uncomfortable side-by-side seating. No backseat flying. Taildragger with little bit bigger tires works just fine for backcountry. Gee! which one would I take
Plane looks like it's been very well kept for all these years. In my dreams, I own one just like it.
i flew an 8A a LOT. tip for landing them - wheel land them. dont 3 point. they really arent that bad. i LEARNED on one.
just wheel land it, do a lil dance and wait for the tail to settle. then pull the stick back and nail the tail down.
they arent the widowmakers they are made out to be. they just require that you pay attention and be a pilot and FLY the thing.
Luscombe run great, fly faster than a cub, the ground handling is mostly hype, mostly. They are responsive and don't like side loads on the gear. but rewards pilots who can fly with finesse.
Sounds great Jimmy
Jimmy. Keep the Luscomb. Dont have a chub for the piper flub.
Thumbs up 👍 moving forward 😊
Watching this from France!
love your vids jimmy, hope it will fly indeed!
now on to watch the video ahah thanks for the content man
Bonjour how are you
@@trentfreeman2373 im doing perfect! thanks for asking! how are you?
@@kikilafrite09 no worries my neighbour I love France. I'm in Australia. France is beautiful
@@trentfreeman2373 in some places yes! some others not, like every country :)
@@kikilafrite09 ok nice meeting you thank you
I vote all 4 are okay. the Luscombe was the aircraft the owner most likely flew more often later on. 4 throws, unless it starts on the 2nd, it is primed up pretty well, the 2nd or 3rd should start to throw fuel into the cylinders, by 4 it out to catch and run.
My Dad either owned or had the use of Luscombe, i remember it sitting just ticking over like that. Mom's gone now, should have asked about that plane while I still could. we always think there will be more time.
While I was growing up, my father had a 1947 Luscombe 8A fully acrobatic. Some of the greatest memories of that era the last time I saw the airplane it was sitting on the tarmac at the sky, Harbor Airport with two flat tires. By then it had been sold. I would buy that airplane from you in a minute if I could.
Go ahead, he's going to sell it and it's not going to be all that expensive. Here's your chance!
O like the j3 kitten over there in the background, I have one of those sitting in a shed halfway through putting a 582 rotax on from the old half VW engine
Paint the wings and stripes yellow on that Luscombe and the scheme will be perfect.
I would keep the Luscombe too. Silas will be a much better Pilot, having learned in a Luscombe. Either way, awesome deal and awesome work!
Jimmy… You didn’t want to love my comment to Miss Vickie? I was just teasin her… She’s a friend of mine. I used to fly out of her airport and she and her Dad took good care of our airplane
I love this series! Keep up the great work
The dubbing is hilarious, haha. Kinda feels like a garage 54 video.
Okay I’d keep the Luscombe, the Hershey bar brown and almond is a beautiful combo.
And some times, Its a miracle!!! Oh, how often it IS a Miracle !!!
That luscombe is a peach! Really nice little plane.
I have a Taylorcraft if you haven't started it in awhile need to pickup tail pretty high to prime oil pump make sure prop is horizontal som it doesn't hit ground.
Love jimmy!!
Yea I'd keep the Luscombe too. A much nicer plane. It has a very strong airframe. They call them "The mighty Luscombe".
Great video 🛩️ I will second the other commit to keep the Luscombe instead of the Piper Cub. I have flown both airplanes. Of course I am biased since I own a Luscombe 8E with a C-85 with 0-200 crank shaft 😎
Mission statement keeps the focus for all who care...blessings...m
No way I would keep the Piper Cub that Luscombe is superior in every way. Plus, I think that the Piper Cub would sell for more money than the Luscombe.
Thats the one you should keep! Beautiful
Just love the sound of that engine. !!!!
I think you are missing the boat a bit there, Jimmy. This is a beautiful aircraft, and has to be a lot more comfortable to fly than that Cub. Just need to steal the starter motor from that other plane, :)
You should dub all your videos lmao it reminds me of that Japanese game show MCX extreme eliminations haha
Maybe @Blancolorio would like another Luscombe, You think that one is squirrely on the ground, you should try my Dads Pazmany Pl-4 it is shorter than that Luscombe
Idles at 400 easy because the compression on the 65 hp Continental is 5.56:1. You can run it on 87 octane mogas, in fact I think there is an STC to do just that, IIRC.
You must keep the luscombe, I’ve been looking for one here in Europe ( uk ) since selling my tb9 aircraft after 22 great years, now I’m just want a classic
I know other people have said this, but I'm going to chime in as well. If I had the choice to keep the Luscombe or keep the Cub, I'd keep the Luscombe. I learned how to fly in a Luscombe. Yes, they are not as forgiving on the ground as certain other tailwheel planes, but all that does is make you a more conscientious pilot with better finesse on the ground. The Luscombe is fast for the hp because of that slick all-metal design. My brother-in-law's 65hp Luscombe could out-cruise his friend's 90hp Cub. Luscombes are also more rare and turn more heads at the fly-ins.
Jimmy keep the luscombe please, you wont regret! Greetings from Argentina
