LOL... funny that he'd rather try to fix  things in mid-air than make an engine-out landing... in a Cub of all things. Very curious as to the story behind this- was it just for lauf=ghs? Some kind of record attempt where landing would disqualify him?    ???

Unfortunatley I have no idea as to the story behind this picture - maybe it was just a set up stunt.

All I know is that I wouldn't like to be climbing out of that fiddly little 'Cub' door whilst flying along.

Not sure, but i'd feel so sorry for the guy if he managed to climb out there, fix the problem, get back in - & then remember that there was no electric start.

Can you imagine his little face - it'd be a picture  ;D

Not sure but he may have stepped out to add a quart of oil as well.

Aircraft like the DeHaviland DHC-2 Beaver you could add oil from within the cockpit below the throttle, pitch and mixture control consol.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

I've seen that photo somewhere while I was searching for J-3 info - yes, he's cranking the prop mid-flight.  Can't remember the guy's name though.
