It happens!

That landing was fine, perhaps a shoot of power on the flare would of helped the bounce. Nevertheless Cubs can handle nearly 10 times the strength of that bounce.
-
The difference between a good landing and a great landing: A good landing you walk away from a great landing you get to use the plane again.....

Looks ok to me. Cubbys are tough. Trees, power lines, short field......bring her in low and slow and plop her on. Well done!
-
Actually, given the SHORT field, and the power line, I thought it took a hell of a lot of skill to pull it off.
I wouldn't have tried ti.

@p3x197 Lol I'm glad airliner pilots don't use that saying :P

ohhhh...

@Rikki0 I haven't heard that saying in years. Thanks for the laughs and the freshening up of old memories. My old man has a '46 J3 that's a month older than him. We use to fly around San Diego in it when I was a teenager. Great memories. :)

The Piper Cub is the safest plane in the world. It can just baaaarely kill you.

What a scare!by BenHaor546,598 views
well, lol considering that a freind of mine was in that plane, (and he was the one to teach me), i'd have to say thats not to difficult for him to overcome... dagerous yes yes of coarse but unless there is a heavy wind, i'd like to doubt his failure.

Wasn't Tim in vid. Different -11. Though I agree with all your comments. He taught me as well.

He had trees & power lines to clear. His approach speed was appropriately slow with power for that type of situation. He cut power & side-slipped, a common technique in that type airplane and that situation. Realizing that his descent was a little too steep & slow, he added power and bounced it a little. A Cub's landing gear can handle much more abuse than that. His recovery was superb, showing that he knows how to fly a tailwheel airplane. Hope this informs you gamers a.k.a. expert pilots.
