Me and my co-worker Eric, taking turns flying the Piper Supercub out of a small field somewhere in the boonies of Ocala, Florida.

Not the way you guys fly...with your technique or lack thereof you need all the help you can get

I'll challenge you to a Supercub Air Race anyday if you think you're so good. ;)

[rayven2012]

somebody needs to teach you guys how to use flaps on takeoff...

[paulbryson]

Kinda useless in a ~2000' field with a 25 Kt crosswind, and a 180 HP engine, don't ya think?

difficult with those trees

[paulbryson]

Not really...it's pretty slow & easy to maneuver. But the 25+ Knot crosswind coming over the trees made it a bit tricky. ;)

Eric is hot looking :P Just sayin' Not much you can do when the tail starts bouncing up and down...just ride it out...the last landing was a good one, though (With flaps). Tia

You know you are right, 7300ft is really high and i'm afraid of highs, especially here in AZ with all this mountains and canyons around me. And Flaps i use to use them as speed brakes in a 120º turn in tight formation with Paul.. I forgot to mention before a banner pick..

But you need to teach your skills i will love to hear your stories..

And be professional kiddo ;)

my field elevation is 7300 ft and I fly the mountains...come on up you won't last one hour in the environment I fly in.
