I’ve been running ABW’s Tailwheel Shimmy Dampener for 2 years on our ACA Scout. When we put it on we also went to the ABW Baby Bushwheel which has a nasty reputation of shimmy on Scouts; just to give the dampener a solid test. I can report after maybe a hundred landings on concrete, asphalt, grass, gravel and dirt; high speed 3-points & wheel landings……not a single shimmy experience. A miracle innovation at least in our application. The best $1k I’ve spent on the airplane over the 9 years of ownership. And for the size / shape / weight of a sardine can.

Dumb question but if your flying solo do you pilot from front seat, compared to rear?

stupid masks

Did it sell

Any update on NPRM or AD?

What is stated here is not the truth. The issue was with PA's an a big NAV light on the top of the rudder in which the rudder was not design to have that mass in it. The standard Cub rudder without a NAV light is fine.

The cameraman had one job, and failed it miserably

It’s not a slim super Cub…it’s a fat boy

Fieseler Fi 156 Storch.Nice.

"500 foot strip...a fairly long strip". Wow, these guys are amazing.

You mentioned that you should have aborted the takeoff but then what would your options have been at that point? I can't imagine that there is anything a guy could do to improve the runway conditions. Was it just going to continue to get wetter there or does that terrain dry out that time of year? I see that it snowed in the intervening 3 weeks. Do you ever have to leave a plane until it snows and then put skis on it to get out of situations like this?

Clown show

Low timer

Doesn’t Maule make a 4 place Super Cub? 😎

Thanks for reading the comments and testing apples to apples.

Can't wait for the PA-12 on -18 gear STC! I need to replace my bungees and don't want to have to go with a competitor's shocks.

'promo sm' 👊

Look like Acme Aero clones…need more information.

Would have liked to see how they compared to the Acme Aero Black Ops. It seems like these would be a better apples-to-apples product comparison with a similarly constructed suspension product.

Having flown Bungess for over 40 years on dozens of Cubs, have flown AOSS for 5 years. There is ALOT more difference than this test indicates! This video is obviously rigged as a sales promotional video. Can't speak to how these compare to AOSS but just looking at how splayed out the Aoss appear to me, they appear totally worn out? or they have ALOT more weight on top of t hem??? Something is very " rigged" in this video as we dropped tested ours after switching to AOSS; and our own testing showed Aoss to be about 50% better than good bungee. I would expect these are better, BUT very doubtful as much better as this video depicted........ be cautious of these claims or you could be paying alot for lazer engraving and anodizing..... 😮

Amazing product!

Cub isnt a chopper

You got a great story to tell though!

ALL hunters suck...plain and simple..no exceptions..FU

Thank you for sharing.

That cost you some money !!!! Nice work getting it out from there.

Sure glad I don't treat my Super Cub like that. (but they wreck a lot of them every year up there.)

So, Ti shocks, (nice), 3" extended Ti landing gear(VERY nice), Ti cabana vee(necessary), safety cables(necessary) = $15,350. You first! 😎

Roads?? Where we're going, we don't need roads

Loni is the man

Awesome video!

As if we don’t know who Loni is!

How many off airport T&Ls has she had ?

Can you put these on floats?

Can you put these on floats?

I guess the moose are laughing.

That is one EXPENSIVE moose hunt!

What is the cost to buy a plane like this? I know you can find 2 seat carbon cubs for $35,000 but can’t find Information on a 4 seater

I've done some flying in the Alaskan bush, my eye is not untrained and it strains to see this "runway" he speaks of.

I WANT ONE , PLEASE ! HOW MUCH ?

Hi, im building a sailcar to ride on the beach and want to know how good this tires might be . I been riding kite buggy for a long time and always wanted to buy bigfoot which is similar to this wheels. How big is the hub? Are they suitable for landsail?

Good video - my homestead was in Yenlo Mts. , just north of the Talchulitna R. - Yep gets a little Soggy in that high country sometimes. Cub looked pretty good afterall.

Great. Next time inspect the runway before your flight.

You walked away….🙏😎👍🏼 Would be great to know the total cost for recovering the craft and putting it back in service…?

So there have been 2 known in-flight failures out of tens of thousands of aircraft spanning 70+years and they were still controllable and landed uneventfully . And this justifies an Airworthiness Directive?

So there have been 2 known inflight failures out of how many thousands or tens of thousands of piper airplanes spanning 70 years and the aircraft involved were still controllable. And this justifies and AD?

Thanks for sharing your story.

I reckon these fellows have gone out of bussiness. Don't answer comment questions in Their Very OWN video. Either that, or they're busier than a one'legged man in an Ass Kicking Contest ! ☆

Shit happens, and this guy can handle it.
