N33029 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Hi Alles! I found YouTube videos on how to fly like a bush pilot. They come in with about a 12° angle of attack with a high power setting, and they seem to drop right out of the sky. I can't do it in the J-3C Cub but am wondering if the Maule would do it, or if I could change the settings for the Cub so it would do that but fly regularly in other phases of flight. Links to the videos below. Thoughts?

I had a Logitech joystick that gave left rudder without touching it but turning it 50X fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 The Cub can't do it because it doesn't have flaps, but the Super Cub does: https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?searchid=59372346 It's the weapon of choice for real bush pilots to this day - they're making a carbon fibre version with a glass cockpit now: http://cubcrafters.com/carboncub/ss Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."
