I've always been amazed that airplane can take all that abuse.  The hill behind the runway makes that video particularly more dramatic.

BLOODY FANTASTIC!...... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]..... ...!

Doesn't that just make you want to wheel your little yellow Cub out of your Hanger and see if you can perform the same Manoeuvres!....(I doubt it!).... ... ....!

A Comedian par-excellence, and Aerobatic Master to boot!

Definitely a Video Clip to save on my Desktop for regular viewing!...(Windows Media Player)....

God knows what sized Engine he has got in that Cub to perform those low-speed climbs!... .... ... ...!

For the most part this is a stock PA-18A Super Cub. The plane has been lightened about 25 pounds and the engine has gone from 150hp to 181hp. The engine is still the original O-320 but with higher compression pistons, a Leading Edge Exhaust System which added another 13hp by itself, and few other small modifications. The engine now has 181hp.

A lot of it is down to energy management. It's surprising what can be done in a glider if you know what you're doing.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnMPNKMZUgA&feature=related

The local FSDO used to have a field day everytime the Frankins came to town.  This past airshow here in Wichita I talked to the "head cheese" FAA guy and he said he's given up.  Regardless, Kyle is a great entertainer and showman 8-)
