Mods on Super Cubs and Scarier then Sh#& landing. 

Excellent video & explanation of the mods you have & why you chose them. Even better to see them in person, and in action recently. That’s one heck of a cub Greg!

Good to see you and the Cub back at it! I’ve been missing Ole’ Bumble Bee! 🤠 I still say the STOL competition people should give you an award for just using your home strip! Maybe it should be a qualifier 😂

Awesome video Greg! I’m a local guy, so it has been fun watching your SW WA videos highlight my back yard. I hope everything is going well with you.

Always a joy to see the mods, and especially hear the explanations as to why!👍

What an awesome flying machine! I’m lusting after this beauty. Thanks for sharing your very well thought out mods with us.

That’s the best one yet. Love it. You did a good job explaining everything. People need to know this stuff. It’s good that I don’t live near you. I’d be over all the time! :)

Hey Greg, after being canceled twice due to weather I finally got my check-ride done on May 15th. It was raining and I had 10-15knot crosswinds at my home strip, but I wasn’t going to back down unless the DPE forced me to. I felt good about myself until I watched this haha. I’ve been flying off of nothing but grass since the ride, and hopefully I’ll start catching up to you in a couple thousand hours! Great video as always, I appreciate all the work you put in, your videos are what kept me motivated through training.

No bullshit down to earth straight shooting. Love it. Thanks for sharing

I laughed when you called out missionary bush pilot! Baaaaahahahahaha Love your videos

In spite of the rough and reckless flying conditions your Cub had to cope with, this is a clean, neat and superb airplane, that looks like just getting out the factory ! I really appreciate the conception, the machining and the feed back about the mods you've done, great job !

Anyone else hear that humming when he crossed over the transmission wires at 16:30?

Good mods. Good stuff. As usual, your impeccable attention to detail shines brightly. A lot of folks forget about the prop and it’s relation to takeoff distance when they talk wing mods. A good prop makes a difference in the entire STOL system…not just for takeoff, but when arresting sinkers on final. Too bad you don’t have bleed air. You could use it for windshield rain removal like the DC-8. Worked really well when adjusted properly.

Love Missionary Bush Pilot! Yeah, I’m sure it’s just a piece of cake! 😂

This is an awesome walkthrough of your mods. I have an experimental super cub kit on the way and I hope to build it as fast as you built this but I’d bargain it’ll take me twice as long! Haha

New subscriber here, your video just popped up in my feed and I am glad it did! Enjoyed your video! Talk about living the dream! Flying out of your front yard!! Scary landing tho! Even when clear it would be but then I'm not a pilot and it's not looking like it's likely to be in this life. I live in Oregon, something about your videos has me thinking you may too. Or perhaps it was another of your recent posts as I think I saw one other by you recently! Keep living the dream and sharing it with those of us like myself where it is just a dream! Blue Sky's and happy flying!

Really enjoyed that as always. Thank you.

Another great vid as always Thank you.

That landing was insane

Nice one Greg. Those flaps look good. Haven't noticed you had audio from the cockpit before. Got used to your voice reviews over your videos. I like that tail clean out cover at the rear. That's a mod I would like to get to the jack screw.

I love it!! I even heard the same music that I have on my intro! I chuckled when I heard the shoutout to @Missionary Bush Pilot. That landing in the rain was just about as sketchy as it gets. I wonder if @Trent Palmer could do it in the freedomfox?

I'm impressed that when you pulled into your hanger none of that stuff went flying through the prop. lol

nice fabric job....

Sweet Greg! I was just thinking yesterday I haven't seen a GM video in a bit. Love the PSTOL's ...I recently watched the testing video Airframes Alaska did on them and if I remember right they decreased the speed over stock flaps by 4 mph, but I think they were bringing the nose up and getting it as slow as possible stock. Pretty impressive the result was a shallow deck angle wheel landing and they still got slower with the PSTOL's. They are perfect for the way you land in the back country. I like the name "Bumble Bee"...just as much as "Playtime". Have you thought any more about naming it?

Mods to your Cub are great. Glad to see you back. I was going through withdrawals! Thanks for another interesting and informative video.

Nice job , cheers from Canada

Moose hunting in Alaska. That would keep me motivated too. Best of luck Greg.

What a nice bird!

What bottom cowl piece w/ the air intake are you using with the vetterman exhaust ? Did you make it or did it come from Javron?

Awesomely thought out and built bird. What w/all the thought put into it however, I'm amazed that the gear legs aren't faired. Round tubing is significantly more draggy than faired tubing as you well know.

Your videos, are awesome and make me want to practice. On Goat Island, if you landed just a little longer it wont be so rough. The end of the rough stuff has 2x4s with the tips painted orange 😁

How do you know the wind speed and direction above the trees when you take off from your home strip? Thanks for sharing another entertaining and informative video!!

One word: Rain-x!!! 👍🏼

Wow that rainy landing - I think I'd want to homebrew a LED torch PAPI light array near the trees at the approach end to at least make sure you are above the g/s to clear the wires. Blank them off with a baffle board to obscure them if you are below a safe g/s

How long did it take you to build that puppy? If you were to build another would you go with Javron?

Is the acme gear extended? I’m looking at at putting on bush wheels and wondering about putting on extended gear as well.

Haha nice!

Just yesterday I was thinking.. hmm it's been a while since Greg posted a video. Wish granted.

G, day from Sydney, Australia. * Mate, great adventure flying videos, with pure natural beauty. Q1. Why wasn't the prop wash clearing the rain of the windshield? Have fun. 🌏🇭🇲

Love all those mods. The next one should be a wiper hehe

You said that the gear "came with the kit." What kit is that? I have plans (dreams at this point) of rebuilding a supercub so learning all I can about the options. Thanks for continuing to post. keeps me motivated. Meanwhile flying my stock MX7-180 and enjoying it.

I’m building a carbon cub and am on the fence about 35’s. They recommend 31’s max for structural reasons, I think it might've had to do with a 9G drop test in which the weight of the 35’s damaged the gear but I'm not sure. Being experimental I can still run 35’s if I want though, you make a solid case for 35’s!

Hey Greg can you tell us a little about the cub that has the exposed fuselage tubing in your intro sometime?

love the vid thank you.Whats your location?

Hi Greg. For the Javron 3” lading gear and wide body fuselage, what version of Atlee safety cables do you recommend? Thanks Damian

Do you do any instruction ? I understand completely getting out in front of the airplane Thanks

Nice cub

Do you carry a dial indicator to check the run out on the prop flange after you have straightened the propeller?

"Missionary bush pilot, your stuff's easy."

Hi Greg. Any hydrophobic treatment like rain-X you can put on the windscreen to help clear the rain?

Scariest part for me was looking at that stuff in the roof of the hangar and expecting it to fall into the prop.

Super!!!

I like both of your planes, I would have a hard time choosing which one if both were for sale and in my price range.

Cheap Rain-X, put dishwashing liquid on windshield, let dry, buff shiny. You’ll have to do it a few times when you clean your windshield, but it will eventually condition the windscreen. You’ll probably never see a drop again after 2 or 3 times.

Fill those wheels up with Helium and get rid of the wings.

Why do u have a cub and a Maule? Is the cub much better at something than the other aircraft?

I appreciate your videos but man o man you home strip is scary in the rain. I’d like to know the costs of your mods but it’s most probably something that’s private to you. When you land I know it’s the video but it looks like your flying into the trees. Amazing 👍🏻

Love that cub

Hi bud. Will the LW 35's wheels come out at about 5 k? So about 5-8 kg's or more? Ok how about one large wiper blade. Serriously just for short finals!!

Are the gear legs made by Acme as well or by Javron? Are they 3x3?

What’s your empty weight? I wish you could do a vlog on the Catto vs bore props. Thanks

Greg, I see your helmet there. What helmet are you using?

Nice Landing

Does the Javron kit have the wider fuselage?

Mayyyybe in the NEXT life…THIS would be MY choice, $ permitting of course.

What is the weight difference between the ULW 35s vs the current (available) 35s? Are those your own wheels too like on Bushwhacker, or are those ABIs?

Good Morning Greg. Love the mods, she looks great! Your home strip sure has serious pucker factor. What is the clearance left to right, between the trees is that? The GoPro lens makes it look so tight.

Did you install the doubler with the flap I didn’t see it

Fucking badass build man

17:25 music should have been “I can see clearly now the rain is gone”

What is the specs on your cub?? Useful load, fuel capacity, fuel burn, cruise speed, take off and landing, light weight and max weight. Thanks.

Bit of a pucker factor there at 16:24

Bad to the bone. Man the pucker factor is tighter than two coats of paint in the rain.

Which cub kit is that?

Go I pray those aren’t bsu colors…..x)

Maybe some Rain-X would help ?

Easy in a cub with fancy mods not in a cessna 208 full of hungry cannibals big difference

I’ve started using this product for cleaning my windshield. It absolutely helps shed water in the rain: www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cspages/plexiclear.php. I think using it regularly helps build up a coating, so I used it even when I’m not expecting to be in the rain.

I don't see VG's?

Rain-X is your friend.

What is a "reverse dog leg"?

you couldn't show flaps extension positions?

I’m the first hehehe
