Piper Cubs
Posted: 11-26-2008, 12:21 AM I guess I ought to start this forum off...I used to fly...haven't flown in about two years.
I had the majority of my hours logged in a J3, but also flew some in the PA11, PA18, and PA15. Almost all of my hours are in tailwheel aircraft. A lot of fun to fly...sometimes it was so much fun I couldn't stop chuckling while I was flying...kind of a like a kid in a candy store. Many times I would stay around in the pattern and talk to my co-workers over the frequency while I did touch n goes and they made fun of me. If I wanted to get daring, I would fly a few miles east and land in a fellow pilots backyard....there were many little grass strips around the area. Anyways, they were a blast to fly...I would encourage any pilot that hasn't flow the cub to try it out....and just when you think you've flown planes before...flying a tailwheel is completely different. |

Posted: 11-26-2008, 06:46 AM There's a little grass strip here on LI among the concrete and blacktop and there are a few cubs and old navy trainers that are based out of it. I have 240something hours but none in tailwheel and really want to try it. Thanks for making me want to go out and spend money lol.
