J-3 Cub flying guide

[ozzy72]

For those of us who love tail-draggers I found this interesting, informative and rather amusing guide to flying the Cub. Well worth a read

I never read it yet Mark, but does it start with "never exceed 80 on the ASI" ?

This is really everything from propping to landing via the taxi. It is really interesting, the guy wrote it for his brother and made it quite funny so he'd read it. I've nearly finished and it is still making me chuckle

I did glance in and find it to be exactly what it's claimed to be.........for the totally uninnitiated in the realm of aviation........


Quite fun to read the perspective ........... 8-)

Thanks for posting this! Other than being funny, that read has actually helped me to manage taxiing and taking off in FS2004 with the default Cub!  :)

Great stuff. The Cub is a lovely little kite, you should also try the Super Cub we've got here at SimV! She is a joy to fly

Fantastic find, Mark...

I'm going to get my Trusty Ink-Jet Printer out, print all the pages, bind them, and take them to bed for a good-old, enjoyable read.... ...!

...(not much else to do in bed these days)... ...!

LOL... ...!

Interesting. A tailwheel conversion is the first thing to do on my list once I have a civil licence (be it a PPL if the CAA decide I'm experienced enough and might manage a circuit in a C152 ) or jump straight in with a bigger licence (or both, as I'm sure they rob me of as much cash as they can)...

Ditto, on all counts... I still get goosebumps remembering my brief time flying a J-3. Just a sweet, capable  aviator's airplane.  ;D

I'm really getting Cub'd!

Imagine that.

Although I will say the FS9 cub is a lot harder to taxi... it's a little too "tippy".

I'm flying a cub Coast to Coast US from Morristown, New Jersey to San Diego, California. Im in Texas! It requires your attention at all time. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves long, very long, Cross Country Flights. Taxiing is hard because I have my realism settings all the way up. So maybe this could help me
