It's not a fast airplane, where it really shines is getting into and out of short landing situations. Cruise speed is around 100-110 MPH indicated, and range with standard (24 gallon) fuel tanks usually between 300-400 miles depending on winds.
What is it about that Lycoming 360 that limits it to 80hp. output??? Has it been lightend so much its lost durability??? Is it that the Carbon Cub airframe cant take higher air speed??? If so Ill have a Citabria.instead of a one trick pony.
I wish that if I became a pilot today or a month agoe that I would plan flights with my wife and family using my action shot video camera but probably it would be a piper cub because it looks the easyest to fly and mantain and only fly with my wife one trip at a time on a good day
No flaps on takeoff and she just hops off the tarmac like theres nothing to it. This is the overpowered airplane for me. you cant beat the visibility of the tandem seating
As soon as I hit the play button on my phone your voices became garbled. Had to take it back to Verizon and wouldn't you know? The damm thing worked fine for them. Grrrr
I assure you, this is how it is. Take a ride in a small plane and ask to use a headset - you'll be lucky to understand anything. Proficiency comes with practice.
You guys need to move your mic further away from your mouths to cut out all that garbled, unintelligible speech for your next video. It makes it much more bearable to watch. Just sayin'....
Nice little plane and flys superbly.
Always a trade off with lift and speed. Great looking plane.
I'm impressed with this airplane. What kind of cruise speed and range can you get with it? Nice Vid! Thanks for sharing.
Real Nice! Can't wait for my new one ( #238) delivery in Sept. 2013 !!!

how much cruise speed do you get with the limitation of 80hp continuous?
Nice plane ! Good vid, but I guess in worldwar 1 the audio quality was better.
is this the modern version of the piper cub?
i can only hear sound of the left side of my headphone. and some wierd after effect on my right
Why's the prop spin like that?
its the camera, not the prop

Those S.F.T.O. always make me nervous; That Glass cockpit calls out 500' alt?
Audio levels - Google it
Great Vid … Terrible Audio! Thanks for sharing though, Brotha! 😎🇺🇸

it's about time they invented an aircraft that doesn't require a runway to take off and land!
You mean something along the lines of a helicopter, or even a harrier jump jet? I think "they" are pretty much all over it. Lol.

Haha, I laughed. :D

+hughmorris2008 Where have you been?
that intercom is miserable, there's your deal breaker, wow very bad !!!!!
Airplane performance is a "10", but audio on this video is a big ZERO!

Denny Dubya no its not how it is lol, you can hear clearly with a modern headset

Yeah, I used to record flights in my Cessna 182 and it was always perfectly clear. I used a magnetic pick-up on a passenger headset.

Its in his larnex. Only place it works because its too light to be outside in the normal place.
