@@nandezfj A Job it was Maintaining 12 Aircraft. 35 man hrs per 1 flt hr. 400hr high time motors not matched. Rode hard (overstress starts at 7g) put away wet. and then the Pounding and Slamming (Tire Popping) onto the Carrier Flight Deck like they made a Touch Down! Needles to say, Avionics is the #1 Down Gripe. The Piper is Simple and Beautiful. I cant look at Tomcats like that.
Very nice! I liked how you used checked the check list out and handled yourself very professionally. Hard to believe it's your first solo. Congratulations!
Have to tell you, that is one of the best Super Cub's I've seen. I love your panel and the paint is excellent. The plane looks brand new. Did you folks buy it in it's present condition or did you do the restoration yourselves? It's a true example of what a Super Cub should be. Thank you for taking us on your flight with you!
+Prairie Falcon , thank you for noticing it like it is.Actually it´s been with us in that condition for more than 15 years.We bought it from an old gentleman that always took real care of it.So, how not to love this machine ?.We got it with that paint scheme but it has been already overhaulled completelly (about 10 years ago)....we decided to leave it exactly as we got it, we love it like that too. Thank you again. Best regards,come fly with us any time! , Francisco
Great video....Thanks for posting it......I'm an artist and I sometimes do paintings of planes.....I have a painting of a J-3 called "Flying the Farm"......Your Super Cub looks great.....thanks again.
Wow - this is a VERY nice Super Cub! What's the story about that plane? And great flight! What an amazing area to fly! I'd love to fly around Columbia!
Well, I´m happy you liked it ! That´s a PA18A-150 year 1958 owned now by my brother and I + a couple of friends,,,great plane! and we fly near Bogotá @ 8400´ft ASL….some times a little hard through the thin air...
Francisco! Precioso avion!!! Me encanta!! Y también me dio alegría como a vos en el minuto 10:57..!! Te felicito por tan hermosa máquina, está impecable! Me gustaría preguntarte cuánto cuesta aproximadamente este avión o uno en condiciones así de buenas, y también cuánto combustible consume por hora de vuelo. El mantenimiento que se le hace es anual? Qué costo tiene aprox? Te mando un afectuoso abrazo desde Argentina, excelentes vuelos capitán!!
Muchas gracias Carlos!, está a tus órdenes; bien, no son fáciles de encontrar, pero si lo logras los precios pueden oscilar entre los 50 mil y 100 mil dólares....hay que buscar.Consume unos 8-9 galones por hora (tiene 50 gal.) y el mantenimiento se hace a lo largo del año cada 50 y 100 horas de vuelo; siendo el servicio de 100 hrs más minucioso y detallado con un costo de unos mil dólares promedio al año en ambos servicios...aprox . Un Abrazo igual! FJ.
Mr Rozensher,the aircraft is being flown at a location 8.500´ft ASL,that´s why you have to lean the mixture...otherwise you would not achieve the required power....(You can read a lot of how engines work at altitud without turbos, etc...) It has the Roberston STOL kit with the vortex generators and all....Flaps or No Flaps, my choice----I KNOW HOW TO CONTROL MY AIRPLANE CORRECTLY; mostly on 3 point landings...DO YOU? SHOW US
