Challenge: fly the Cub like that !

Hi all fellow simmers :)

I have found this incredible video of a Cub pilot at an airshow:

Look at the way the pilot lands and taxi, this is absolutely crazy

That was good, but even weirder for me was the explosions of bubbles which each contained videos to watch after the clip had finished. New ones kept exploding onto the screen, and everything was moving around. Never seen that before.

I think this would be better in the video forum though.... ;)

The default J3 isn't too good for this kind of thing because that's not a stock J3... it's a PA-18 or "Super Cub", which weighs about the same but has a 150-hp engine. The flaps are a dead giveaway; regular Cubs have no flaps.
I've seen experienced J3 pilots wheel it on and hold the tail up quite a long time, but not like this, of course.
