I created this video with the CZcams Video Editor ( / editor ) This plane has a nice running Laser 100 engine, wich runs with 80% Methanol, 15% Syntetic oil and 5% Nitro.
I have hundreds of hours logged in J3 cubs with over 450 take off and landings, most solo from the back seat. I owned five J3 Piper Cubs over the years. That flight was very much like full scale. Very nice scale take off and landings. Nice flight and turns too. I really enjoyed the ride. I was an avid R/C model builder and pilot prior to going full scale tail draggers. Good job! Thanks
Being a comm. pilot with lots of time in the cub, I can say this is one of the best inflight vids I have ever seen . Well done! You have demonstrated a realistic flight and the view it would look like in the real plane.
This is the best video I have seen with both views of from inside cockpit & from the ground. That was real nice flying also at a real nice field. Keep up the good work!.
Ok I have to say first of all, I vertically never comment on videos but this time I had to. I have a commercial pilots license and I have also been flying RC fixed wing as well as helicopters for decades. I have also flown a full size Piper Cub as well as a Super Cub and watching this video is the closest thing to being in the cockpit I have ever experienced. Really well done, thanks so much for sharing.
probably the best scale camera work I have ever seen. Some videos in real cubs aren't as good as this one.. Something majical about the way your video turned out,not to mention your a good flyer.Thx for sharing ,,,,,,,,,
What a ride! Sure is spacious inside, I felt like I could lean back, put my feet up and enjoy the ride. Very very nice view from the aft seat. Thank you. Lovely model.
NC880173 : That yellow Cub Flight Video Is THE BEST ONE I HAVE EVER WATCHED !!! You made me feel as though I Were Back Inside Of A Real Airplane Again. I can No Longer Fly The Real Thing Because Of For Neck Fusion Surgeries I Have Had. THANKS FOR THE MEMORY. Post More Like That One. Please !!!
Hi NC88073, you should get an award as scale master flyer! The way you keep the level of the horizon steady and the aproaching speed looks like the 1:1! Congrats! Question: at maiden did you have to trim much or came out pretty balanced? I am asking this because I am close to my maiden and I have not been flying for 5 years and I think I can handle it but I was curious about trim since that is my mayor concern after such long time to de rust my fingers! Cheers Alex
Hi Alex. Thanks for the comment! I had to put about 150 - 200 grams in the nose, but did not need to trim anything. Remember that a Cub can be a little bit "tricky" and require the ability to fly with both aileron and rudder simultaneously at same time. A J3 Cub should NOT have differential ailerons by contrast, a SuperCub have. Good luck with your flight! ;-)
NC88073 Thanks for your kind answer. Yes indeed I had in the past the Carl Golberg J3 40 size and pretty much needed rudder flying. Since I am rusted I was thinking in may be mixing some rudder while not landing or taking off just to cheat a little bit my flying but do not know if this is a good idea. Today I was braking in my Saito FG21 and the weather is so hot here in Kuwait to fly (47C) so guess I will need to wait to September... Cheers! Alex
That was very well done! To my mind it felt very authentic. I think the wider angle lens made the whole experience seem much more real along with the slow lazy turns and minimal banking.
Very nice job of flying and filming , that grass runway is really nice! This cub has a very nice presence that makes it stand out from the other cubs I have been looking at. I may have to start saving my lunch money for one! Happy New Year Ya'll!
Absolutely beautiful flight and video! I was checking videos to see how much vibration others were getting in their nitro/gas videos, and I think that this here just convinced me it's not as much of a problem as my electric-only bias originally made me think :) thanks for posting this, I feel better about my new Saito four-stroke purchase
I did a similar flight but in 1990. Sig 1/4 scale Cub with OS Pegasus. Over water from floats and a chase plane. Never posted the file as it was on 8mm tape.
Very nice vid and great flying, I have a pa 1/4 scale hanger 9 cub and I think I'll try running a go-pro in mine after watching this vid, I love that feeling of really being in the plane, along for the ride, thanks for posting.
hi. ive seen a show or too. and seen many videos. please give youre self a LARGE pat on the back. i think its the best in flight video ive ever seen all the best .. tone uk
Awesome video!!! I just uploaded my video I made like yours. 😃 I mounted mine to the seat and it shook like something crazy. I'm gonna remount it from the top down. I have a full scale J-3 Cub that belongs to my Gandaddy. He bought it back in 1963 and we still have it in the family. 😀👍🏼
This is the best video I've ever watched! I find myself watching it over and over. I want to loop it so I can fall asleep to it. lol I want to put in the same camera setup in my 1/3 scale Super Cub. Thanks for posting!! P.S. I found the rain drops on the windshield was a really nice touch in the realism of the Pilot view, what a good POV.
Really excellent video, beautiful plane and great flying - the landing was perfect. 9.5/10 - you lose half a point as not long enough!! Thanks for sharing - more please!
Nice flyght, I though that I was in the real thing, very realistic. I am planning start with shipper eletric model, with foam and all that crap, but you and your plane is my goal of achievement !
I have a 1/4 scale Cub, now I know where I'm placing My FPV Camera, that's an awesome Plane You have there, Great Flight, Great Video! Kudos too You m8! :D
Hi bsmk89. Thanks for the comment! Sorry, I don´t remember the settings I do on the GoPro camera. I just placed the GoPro camera on the original GoPro mount on upper balsa shelf behind the pilot. For your info, a J3 Cub pilot sits in the rear seat in the cockpit behind the passenger.
And how do you upload your videos to where they will be full HD1080p? When I upload mine from my PC CZcams seems to crush the quality of the video a TON. 😏 Thanks!
Awesome video! Plane sounds very realistic with gas power. Did the Laser 100 take much setting up? Do you have to adjust fuel/air mixture much each time out? You talk of running 15% synthetic oil and 5% nitro-I presume rest of fuel is 98 octane petrol or greater! I fly a E-Flite Apprentice (electric), and have never had much to do with gas power so all new. How well does the quarter scale fly-any traits? How would you compare flying it to say the average r/c plane like mine-high wing?
I've seen a lot of videos, and this is one of the COOLEST videos I've ever seen. Thanks for posting!
I love this plane I think it looks beautiful in the air especially from the view from an FPV plan or quad perspective
That was beautiful! The view reminds me of a day in 1955 when I made my first solo in a Cub (full size).
Ausgezeichneter Pilot. Sauberer Start, Flug und Landung. Hut ab.

Indeed best rc Piper video ever. Thank you for sharing. Greetz from the Netherlands (Holand)
I watched this video before. Just had to watch it again
That was a sweet video and a beautiful job on the plane. Best [in plane] camera perspective I have seen to date. Thanks for sharing.

That was just completely cool. Realism was a 10.
The pilots view looks pretty real to me. Well done!!!
That plane just looks sooo good!
smooth landing!
beautiful!!! I was waiting for passengers to get out! looks so scale way to go!
Nice build and flight ,great view with cockpit cam 🤙🤙🤙well done
This makes me really happy, what a nice plane and engine! Bravo
Very nice scale flying,even reminded me of sitting behind my dad in our old cub.
Helt fantastiskt. Det värmde i det kalla höstmörkret
Very nice scale take off and landing . beautiful bird !!
Lovely flying. Pulling off a greaser like that makes you feel good for the rest of the day :)
I gatta get me one of these!👍(Plane and Camera) Felt so realistic like I was really in the plane enjoying the ride. Very smooth landing too!

+2prophets There is a very easy way to get around that sir and that is fly FPV but swing the camera left and right with an auxiliary control channel.

Well done sir!!!! Beautiful presentation.
Beautiful job all the way around! I especially liked that you didn't "yank and bank" the take off as so many RC pilots seem to do.
What a Great Job Flying This Good Looking Cub,,,,
That was very well done! To my mind it felt very authentic. I think the wider angle lens made the whole experience seem much more real along with the slow lazy turns and minimal banking.
Excellent video....very professional.
Very cool, Love the pilots view :)
great idea to mount it inside the cockpit. it is a very beautiful plane.
Good flying skills and very nice aeroplane!
Awesome build, and piloting skills! You really greased that landing. Super nice RC flying field with that scale looking grass landing area too.
The best video ever .Congratulations , I enjoyed it like if I was inside the Cub
I fly a full scale J-3 Cub. This is a very realistic looking video of the cockpit view! Nice job
one of the best videos I've seen on here ,thanks
Awesome video! I love the cockpit view. Nice scale flying also.
Terrific! So very scale with the Laser 100 - thanks for sharing.
Very nice job of flying and filming , that grass runway is really nice! This cub has a very nice presence that makes it stand out from the other cubs I have been looking at. I may have to start saving my lunch money for one! Happy New Year Ya'll!
Well done ! Believe it or not I knew someone who bought a real one of these. In the US and flew it back to Britain . He must have been mad !
Wonderful scale flight, more than perfect, a pleasure to watch.Wish You hundrets of succesful flights,best regards, Andy

Fantastic hobby and plane)))
It's a very very cool View of the inside of the Piper Cub in flight if a GoPro very nice cool
Very nice vid and great flying, I have a pa 1/4 scale hanger 9 cub and I think I'll try running a go-pro in mine after watching this vid, I love that feeling of really being in the plane, along for the ride, thanks for posting.
How cool is this!
Still my favorite Cub video!
Just brilliant.
Thanks for the ride, very relaxing. Your a great pilot
very nice video & smooth landing sir..
Reminds me of flying the full scale! Great video!
That was a fun ride great video from the pilots seat nice plane 👍

Cool video and perfect landing, thanks for sharing 👍

Wow I really like that cockpit perspective. It would be very interesting to fly FPV with that cockpit view. Actually pretty hard but realistic.
Super le vol ! et sympa la caméra embarquée on à l'impression de piloter, et en plus le moteur tourne super bien bravo pour cette réalisation !
This is the best video I've ever watched! I find myself watching it over and over. I want to loop it so I can fall asleep to it. lol
I want to put in the same camera setup in my 1/3 scale Super Cub. Thanks for posting!!
P.S. I found the rain drops on the windshield was a really nice touch in the realism of the Pilot view, what a good POV.
That's some lovely scenery. What part of the country are you in? This is the nicest plane video I've seen in a long time.
Great video! Nice flying too!
Really excellent video, beautiful plane and great flying - the landing was perfect. 9.5/10 - you lose half a point as not long enough!! Thanks for sharing - more please!
Awesome video and Flying. Nice flying field to. Thanks..
That was cool! I've never flown in a piper cub. But I bet It would look and sound pretty much just like that.
Nice flyght, I though that I was in the real thing, very realistic. I am planning start with shipper eletric model, with foam and all that crap, but you and your plane is my goal of achievement !
Looks fantastic, thumbs up!
just beautiful
very nice , engine sounds great love to see more.
Wow !!! Very good !! The big player !! :)
That was a cool flight !
I have a 1/4 scale Cub, now I know where I'm placing My FPV Camera, that's an awesome Plane You have there, Great Flight, Great Video! Kudos too You m8! :D
Magnificent
Thank you. Very nice video and good scale-like flight..
Very nice (cockpit) view the use of a Gimbal makes it realistic
I have 3 of these aircraft . Love em
Um verdadeiro show de imagem, parabéns!!!
great flying
Excelente , Felicidades
Well done that motor Boggs down under half revs will lesser pitch prop help
EXCELLENT FOOTAGE...
Fantastic 👍🏼 ✨
Perfection
Hi, excellent video. May I ask what settings you used on the camera and how you mounted it so that you got no vibration??
Thanks.
Hi bsmk89.
Thanks for the comment!
Sorry, I don´t remember the settings I do on the GoPro camera.

Muito Legal ! Essa aterrissagem foi exemplar !
Really nice. Superfint filmat. :)
Sehr schöner Flug! Gefällt mir sehr gut! Ist das in Schweden? Welcher Motor ist im Flieger?
Smooth flight!

good flying does not always have to be prop hanging , nice video.
great video cheers Euan.
Nice video, just need to put a pilot with the head turning left and right when ailerons move would make it even more awesome.
Beautiful !!
Too cool man 👍🏼👍🏼
Excellent job! I just bought the same plane and will be building it this Winter. Any helpful hints you can give me?
it actually sounds alot like that in real fights..👍😁🥳
Do you got any more footage with you plane doing flat spins and rolls? That would be really cool!
