    Thanks for taking me back. I learned in a J3 but haven't flown one in years. There is flying and then there is transportation and with all the idiosyncrasies and throwbacks of the Cub there is never any doubt as to which you are up to.

    My first job at age 14 in 19xx was as a lineboy where my family had been based well before I entered the picture. We had a lot of Cub and Champs on the line as primary trainers. This is very similar to how I started them when nobody is around with the one exception, I straddled the right main and hold the door post, but I am also well over 6 ft tall. I could nearly reach the throttle and the blade at the same time by the time I was full grown. On weekends at 6:30a when you have to start getting rentals out for 8a lessons, there isn't another soul around to lend a prop. Over the years I grew physically and learned how to prop radials, on up to bigger Jakes with 2B-20's, a lot of W670s with Curtis Reed props. Anyone that would think of touching a flat-6 or a three bladed prop needs their head checked. Otherwise, it can be done very safely for a lifetime. Simply never lose respect.

      Very true I use my left foot to chock the right main and also hold the door post to keep from falling into the blades, I'm disabled so have weak knees. Can only do this with a J3 due to door opening and easy access to controls. Back in your day I use to say I would never handprop an airplane. LOL,,, Now those are the only types of aircraft I fly.

    My grandfather flew one of these in 1938-39. Then, in mid September, 1939, his logbook suddenly went blank. Apparently, Herr Adolph's adventure into Poland cause the US Federal government to severely restrict aviation fuel at that point.

    • @minecraftwtihclay
      @minecraftwtihclay Před 7 lety

      I don't own one, but I would like to! I started my flight training in a cub. I have 12.5 hours in a J3 at Cub Air in Hartford. I'm currently doing flight training in Oshkosh

    • @YogiCub181
      @YogiCub181  Před 7 lety

      Cool! We stopped in at Hartford on our way to Oshkosh back in 2011. Fly safe and follow the rules, you'll have plenty of fun with short moments of terror. ;) If you get a chance to serve your country let them pay for the rest of your flight training, not a bad deal considering I retired at 38 years young from the USAF.

      Thanks, not much to the control panel, if your a pilot you can figure out what little I said on the radio, fly by looking outside not looking at control panel.

    I'm not a pilot. So, I don't know these things but I have to ask... Why do guys who fly these taildraggers with the tandem seats, always fly from the rear seat? Wouldn't it be better to fly from the front seat where visibility would be improved?

    • @YogiCub181
      @YogiCub181  Před rokem

      It is a weight and balance issue, the placard on the instrument panel (which you can probably not see) says solo from the rear seat only. Also in this type tailwheel airplane it is worse visibility from the front seat. I usually stay in the rear seat when I take a passenger (always tell them they are the pilot, LOL) But I am also a Flight Instructor, so it is the normal seat anyhow in other tailwheel aircraft when giving instruction. If the student wants to really fly a J-3 then I will sit in the front seat as they will have to solo from the rear seat.

      SALTY DOG Nice ! It is a kind of mental preparation . About tail wheel, I once heard from a great pilot, the following statement : A PERFECT LANDING, IN A TAIL DRAGGER AIRPLANE IS WHEN TREE THINGS SIMULTANEOUSLY HAPPENED - 1 THE MAIN LANDING GEAR TOUCHES THE GROUND - 2 THE TAIL WHEEL TOUCHES THE GROUND - 3 THE STICK TOUCHES ITS BACK STOP.
      I live here in Brazil and I am always trying perfect landings in a Paulistinha P-56, the brazilian J-3 equivalent .

    Just curious, why are you in the back seat?

    • @YogiCub181
      @YogiCub181  Před 5 lety +4

      That's where you have to sit when solo, due to weight & balance on a J-3 Cub. There is a placard on the instrument panel stating this that you probably cannot see unless you have a capability of zooming in.
