Piper Cub in Crosswinds

[b26maurader]

It's not a J-3... is it a PA-11?

[xcaliber137]

@b26maurader yep. Fun airplane. Can solo front or rear seat. Definitely notice better performance from the back, though.

looks like they got a kicker at the end of the runway there!

What joy a cub is to the 21st century pilot. Give me the breeze between my knees and a bobbing cork fuel gauge to tell me when the fun must end.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Not an easy feat in a dragger. Nice work.

Good flying. Although next video, show us the windsock if you want us to be impressed. Also, poor propping technique by your buddy. He is standing too far away and leaning into the prop. Better research proper technique. Stay alive!

Just wondering what the wind was that day...

[xcaliber137]

It was a while ago, so I don't remember exactly. The crosswind component ranged from 5 to 10 knots throughout the day. Worked well for practicing technique with my student in a light aircraft.

[AntiStalinist]

No doubt the cub has already made you a better pilot.
