mounted slats on the carbon cub, and went for first trials. Lot's of training needed to master the potential huge angle of attack. Music: Insomnia - Monster Mix
It's the excitment of moment translated added without seeing it, and old internet video/TH-cam music vid habits dying hard. It's good, but b-roll is more enjoyable by far.
Did U indicate 16MPH stall speed- really? How much weight is shaved from basic Cub STOL using Carbon? I noticed the difficulty of ground effects while trying 2 land- so light that the combined surfaces make plane almost weightless. INCREDIBLE. 3 plane lengths to land & take off- wow!!! With no wind, what is true mimimum landing speed, using no power (til almost touch down) with full flaps? If tubes are carbon fiber, the airframe safety lifespan must be forever. Stresses were so minimal during both videos. (Sorry, so awed by video- I'm having racing thoughts- it can be landed almost anywhere!) Imagine new Ford gas direct injection, turbocharged 1.0 liter 3 cylinder engine (12" cube-motor & turbo) with 150 HP, 170 Ft./Lbs of torque & total weight under 300Lbs all in- including hard mounts. More power, lighter weight... Oops, more racing thoughts!
Published weight empty is 895 lbs. Max weight for the LSA class is 1320 lbs. I think the tubes are still steel, but weight savings was achieved by reducing total number of parts and making some others out of carbon fiber. All this with a 180 bhp engine. Cruise at 80hp is about 90mph with a 5-6 gph fuel burn.
How do these slats affect overall fuel economy on longer flights I wonder? The performance at low speeds in evident, however, in order to get to the bush in remote areas, longer flights may be required and the overall performance in terms of fuel efficiency is likely affected
@@tenbear10 Why do YTers keep doing it?? Great opportunity to add a voice over over details such as the many questions you see here in the comments section (that are almost all unanswered)...viewers want information not muzak. But of course, we are all undoubtedly happy to at least see a CC with slats.
great cub configue nice slow speed, pleas peoples shut it wit the music already , if you cant see the video for what it is go watch something else , nice airplane N5854W
Glad to see that somebody put Leading Edge Slats on an LSA. I thought it would make a huge difference in performance. What is the airspeed on landing? Should make STOL dragging very interesting. Next need is large speed brakes to kill airspeed before dropping the flaps and slats to land..
While the high AOA on landing is impressive, the viz suffers quite a bit it appears, not good for real off airport work. Not a concern on a few thousand feet of grass airstrip of course.
please explain why most of the videos posted have some ridiculous back ground music . very annoying!

@@nikovlogs9837 Pilots want information commentary not muzak!
What's up with the fuckn' Techno-Pop Blaring.....! Very fuck'n annoying ! Cool shots of the Carbon Cub SS though....
When you get it figured out....would love to hear your comments about the before and after differences ...very nice
Unbelievable performance.
all I can say is Wow. Fantastic
That’s Birddog airport in North Texas
Who installed the slats and is it approved?
I know this airfield.. Birddog Tx whose aircraft?
Good stuff! What kind of belly pod is that?
is that at Birddog in North Texas?

David C. Gulliver with the ford engine at least you will get plenty of dead stick time.
Get a parachute with that ford engine and you'll be fine.
1 liter is 61 cubes

Washing machine techno music instead of engine roar?
Awesome plane, horrible Vegas dance mix. But that plane... whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!? Just awesome.
Disco Carbon Cub with Disco music
Where did you get the slats for you cub?
Looks like the slats are fixed not retractable. To much drag in cruise...Bummer. Zenith Aircraft are like that.
Nice... very nice!!!!

Is that a 3 blade prop? Or is the strobing playing tricks on me?
2
@@hotrodray9884 Nope, tuns out it is a three blade. Engine's been tricked out with an 84" three bladed prop.
so cool. i want to leam.
Please, no music.
Is that a Cub or a Pacer tail dragger?
Carbon Cub SS.
About 300 lbs less than a real SupervCub.
Nice video minus the music
Who spreads the misinformation that music improves a video? Hmm?
Terrible music on watchable video
And I want
I had a shitty comment due to the noise selection. Flipping channels instead.
A pushbike could overtake it. LOL Imagine a bicycle going faster than a plane! HA HA HA HA HA
Great video. Horrible music!
MUSIC SUCKS!!!!
Would like to hear the engine. Didn't come for the concert.
The engine music sounds better than the music track, unbearable!
You Sir are correct !

Hahaha.... Who needs a helicopter?!?
Music? SUCKS!
WHY ARE WE YELLING SO LOUD?!!!
Plane is awesome, the euro techno garbage not so much.
amazing,,,,I think airplanes are a terrible addiction.
Can you say, "Slow Motion"! I hope your tail dragger is in good shape. Great video!
great cub configue nice slow speed, pleas peoples shut it wit the music already , if you cant see the video for what it is go watch something else , nice airplane N5854W
A page taken from the Helio H 295 book I see
We want the planes soundtrack
So much lift now all he has to do is flap his arms out the window and it flies.
Jesus, you're smashing the fuck out of your tail wheel assembly.
What was the degradation in cruise speed after slat fitment.....if any ....thanks great vid love the plane!
10 kt

Music choice almost destroys this clip. Grow the hell up.
you personnel opinion , no one fuckig care
@@flyingmaniac3827 No it is a FACT that this music is so retarded.
Wow, so fun to watch, I LOVE the music, its perfect. Tell me more about your setup.
Классный самолет, какой у него расход топлива, на сколько часов.
Is this Carbon Club or Cub? I’m confused...Can you dance in the cabin?
I want this plane! Not only beautiful, but super efficient slow flier.
It looks like all the pilots knew the STOL drill. Nice flying.
That 15 kt headwind helps a lot.
Why didn't you mention it in the video.?
That looks like a really fucking fun airplane!
1.25x is real time!!!!!!!!!!
12 kt headwind
The loud beat music reminded me of Russia music?
That's not even music it's just computer noise
What's the cruise speed?
Highly impressive. Is that the Continental Titan engine?
"Hurr Durr I wanna hear the engine"
Turn your car on, pop the hood, and sit there as long as you want if that's what you're coming for
do you think a shorter tail wheel would help to better utilize that angle of attack?
yes - working on a dragging device
Then it will be a taildragger.
i used a straight tail spring and taller mains

Awesome video, LOVE THE MUSIC!!!
Must be an age thing- I like the music.
