I just woke up out of a dead sleep and I went to TH-cam and seen Super Cub killer this video got me so pumped I don't think I'll need coffee for a week this video is the best of the best
Fantastic video. It's trial and error with common sense. Those 35s sure are a winner. The absorption of obstacles at the right pressure is gold for anyone in doubt. Amazing education. The brake noise is possibly due to.ice cold water dropping drum/disk temps and contracting material? Dunno a guess. Water skimming is tricky. Best avoided.
Extraordinary Aptitude skills and in total harmony with your airplane,those quality tyres just roll over those boulders,every landing and take off an adventure in itself,thank you for the opportunity to view these videos.
I have all of your movies and I think all of Loni's, been watching you guys since before I was done with my license. Now that I have my own cub it's even more fun and impressive to watch.
This is the first time I have watched one of your videos. It is great fun to watch you practice. It is obvious that you have spent quite a bit of time working on your skills. Fun to watch without commentary too.
I have had my own plane many years back, and from what I seen, definitely you are at about the limit of what those tires could take Then the skill of landing and take off, for that is easy, but like you said turning and tacking is marginal, It would have almost made me want to get out and move a few boulders, even turning the plane by hand, But i seen a few times where there could have been a prop that could have touched a boulder if you had not kept the stick back , Just wished I could have been flying there, would have enjoyed it, I flew out of Penticton back in the eighties, and a lot of pilots because of my skill were afraid to fly with me, except the real good pilots, who knew what they were doing, Enjoyed the fun of watching, just a little jealous now I can't fly, as it has been too many years, seventy nine but still got good health,
So a four cylinder in an m5 with what wing? And when you say will do pretty much what a SC can do.... What do you mean? What are the strengths and weaknesses of each aircraft, how do they compare?
That is going to take a video in itself to answer. Short answer is the wing on the M5 is too short, the propeller is too short but you use what you have to the best of your abilities. That requires a lot of practice, spend your money on gas and learn to know what it takes to get that airplane in and out of the shortest distance just the way it is. The M5 will do amazing things in the right hands, bring it to me and I can go where most cubs go. It is all about using your brakes. You can stop with a lot more braking power than you can with a cub. You land a lot faster but can offset it with the amount of brake pressure applied. Practice Practice Practice
Yes I have taken a few hits over the years to the H.S., I also broke the tail wheel fork one time but for the most part we try and land with the tail out of the stuff which keeps the H.S. higher then 3 point and saves it too.
I missed it in the video or comments. But I've been looking at maules. What wing is this, which engine/hp, what did it weigh empty (roughly), what prop? I take it that it had what AA offers as a 4" extended gear and 35's, correct?
I was running probably 2-3 psi, use my knee to judge how soft the tire is as pressure is pretty low for a gauge. Those wheels back then were pretty heavy, I think around 10.5 pounds. I took them and put them on a diet since. I think they are just a little under 7 now.
@@mauleguy I was guessing 3 pounds or so. 10.5 lb is not to bad. Less then 7 is awesome. Putting on the beringer wheels this spring at 8.5lb. Thanks again for sharing love all the dvds and these videos!!!
I really like you videos. I notice that when you slow the video down on the rocks that the tires are taking all the shock. I never see the suspension arms move much. Can you let the gas pressure down on those or does that cause problems? Just seems like you would want it taking some shock also. Just noticed this is 16 year old footage, guess you didn't have gas shocks then! LOL
This is some of the roughtest terrain I've seen planes land on but even here, could smaller wheels on trailing arm suspension that can give backwards work? Your tire swallows a big rock without any movement in the suspension and even the tiny tail wheel copes. So maybe it's possible to make a capable bush plane with much smaller wheels such that it can cruise fast and go far. If you are flying to somewhere really remote it's not just about the landing.
There were some old timers in our now disbanded EAA Flying Bears chapter 1171 out of New Bern NC where I first saw all this bush plane videos about same time perios.... Long props .........on grainy footage I want to say.
I'm wanting to get an Air Bike 39 hp/liquid cooled/bigger tires is there a lot of grass strips with in a 100 miles of the coast? The 103 rules only allow 5 gallons of fuel and I'd need to refuel east of Raleigh as I live south of Greensboro 🌻
Hi thank you for the videos, can you please offer some helicopter towing companies in Alaska for remote towing a boat or a plane? I did a google search and couldn't find any companies that provide remote air towing.
If other people !! Sorry not to offend anybody but turn down volume because I’m learning things by listening to his experience of doing what most of us would love to do!!!!:-() sorry not being a butthead just wanna hear his opinions and points and ideas…….
Real bush pilot here….ex Hudson air service Alaska ….do all that shit in the wind, overgross, aft cg,with a client , one way strip at dusk, after a 12 hour duty day….then I’ll impressed. You tube is full of wannabes bush pilots. This is no exception. Get real posers…..this is a content provider…..not a bush pilot.
And I thought I knew what “rough/unimproved field” meant … I honestly think this guy could land this airplane in a municipal landfill if he wanted to ….
Best content on TH-cam. The amount of skill you have in that environment is unbelievable.
Thank you
TH-cam recommended these videos too me and I’m glad they did since I’m in as much awe as you are.
I just woke up out of a dead sleep and I went to TH-cam and seen Super Cub killer this video got me so pumped I don't think I'll need coffee for a week this video is the best of the best
Awesome video that drift up the river was sweet that's a first I've seen in the water skiing, those 35s look little next to those rocks
Thanks 👍
Fantastic video. It's trial and error with common sense. Those 35s sure are a winner. The absorption of obstacles at the right pressure is gold for anyone in doubt. Amazing education. The brake noise is possibly due to.ice cold water dropping drum/disk temps and contracting material? Dunno a guess. Water skimming is tricky. Best avoided.
The noise is from the brake pads I use. They are a different material and when the brake disc gets totally wet they make that sound.
this damn guy can land anywhere
Extraordinary Aptitude skills and in total harmony with your airplane,those quality tyres just roll over those boulders,every landing and take off an adventure in itself,thank you for the opportunity to view these videos.
You are very welcome.
Amazing. Certainly making a great case for having 35” tires.
It sure is!
I love your flying. I learned to fly Super Cubs and love that airplane. Your's is so much better. Thanks for sharing.
That is what I like when u explain what your doing!!
Gosh the Experience I could talk for hours listening to what u have done!!!:-/)
Great video, impressive handling - so good to see the effectiveness of the ABW’s close-up.
Glad you liked it!
I like it with narration. I love to hear the background and what's going through a guys head.
Thanks for all the feedback
Thanks for releasing this content,it is amazing.i am on my 3rd run through your videos
Your Welcome!
I have all of your movies and I think all of Loni's, been watching you guys since before I was done with my license. Now that I have my own cub it's even more fun and impressive to watch.
Thanks for your support
You give new meaning to the term "Prop Wash"
I like the narrative part. They are both fun to watch, but a lot of info comes from the narrative.
Thank you
Thank you!
Defffently sum good flying ... thanks for the video
Desde rep dominicana me quito el sombrero que Berdugo gracias príncipe
Wow! It looks like you are taking those 35's to there limit.Some of those rocks are huge! Awesome skills you have.
Yes, thanks
This is the first time I have watched one of your videos. It is great fun to watch you practice. It is obvious that you have spent quite a bit of time working on your skills. Fun to watch without commentary too.
Thanks for watching!
Hell dont scrap any old video's, your
The Man Greg , you started this off airport video craze.cheers from Canada
Thank you :))
They just like two swans playing at the riverside in the woods...Love it...👍👍👍😍😍😍👌👌👌
Amazing flying! I am building a Bearhawk 4 Place and hope to start back country flying someday. Not sure I will ever be as good (brave) as you are.
Have fun, be safe, Think ahead of the airplane!
I’ve seen people get stuck in pickups on smaller rocks.
I agree, the commentary adds a lot. Makes me think about things differently.
Thank you
Love the German Flectarn paint job on the wings
:))
I have had my own plane many years back, and from what I seen, definitely you are at about the limit of what those tires could take
Then the skill of landing and take off, for that is easy, but like you said turning and tacking is marginal,
It would have almost made me want to get out and move a few boulders, even turning the plane by hand,
But i seen a few times where there could have been a prop that could have touched a boulder if you had not kept the stick back ,
Just wished I could have been flying there, would have enjoyed it,
I flew out of Penticton back in the eighties, and a lot of pilots because of my skill were afraid to fly with me, except the real good pilots, who knew what they were doing,
Enjoyed the fun of watching, just a little jealous now I can't fly, as it has been too many years, seventy nine but still got good health,
Great Video and fantastic airmanship and handling, very impressive. I just bought some 35's and cant wait to try them when the floats come off.
Dam...that thing can take a crap load of abuse. Incredible skills with a 4 leaf clover in your pocket.
Yeah, 35" ABW are the ticket for this kind of stuff
You are one with your machine, that's for sure!
I don’t know how long those tyres last but they do there jobs well, oh and the piloting is not to bad.
I’m a typical 172 pilot. Would love to learn this skill
That is where I started so you could too
Thanks. Great job. Are u in Alaska?
Great video...inspirational!
Thanks so much!

How many prop strikes have you had?
That's a secret, not really I have had two
Greg, do you ever sustain damage to the horizontal or elevator from rocks etc.
I don't know what Greg will say about that, but I can tell you the hard part is keeping the tail wheel alive!!!!
Yes I have taken a few hits over the years to the H.S., I also broke the tail wheel fork one time but for the most part we try and land with the tail out of the stuff which keeps the H.S. higher then 3 point and saves it too.
Filmed before TH-cam was even invented, still very impressive!
Thank you
It’s crazy isn’t it!!!!
What engine do you like????
@@raystone5231 I personally like the GE90🤠
Dang that baby purrs!
Wow that’s a cool story!!!!
What pressure are you running in this video?
2-3 psi
@@mauleguy Thanks! You plan on making new videos? What plane do you have currently?
I have Black Bushwacker and Yellow Super Cub, Stay tuned for more videos on youtube
Insane stohl work!
Good job. 👍👍

His is nucking futs!
Good lord, man!
WOW!! That was an awesome history lesson!! Thanks for sharing. What tire pressure where you running? How much did your wheel end up weighing?
I was running probably 2-3 psi, use my knee to judge how soft the tire is as pressure is pretty low for a gauge. Those wheels back then were pretty heavy, I think around 10.5 pounds. I took them and put them on a diet since. I think they are just a little under 7 now.

For Real Drive!! 4:30 is a hard on props!
Not really that hard on them. Mine saw a low of water and when I stuck it in the dirt that was much harder on it:))
Love your content, commentary and video style! Thanks for sharing!! Are the tires somehow locked to the hubs? Thanks again.
No they are not locked but it takes two men and a boy to break them loose and there is no inner tube. The tube and tire are one.
I’ll bet a certain guy in Utah would watch this and say “You know... if we just had small lightweight drive hubs for the main gear wheels...”🤔😬
Is his name Casey or Matt?
Bro, I'd love to fly with you (I'm right here in Battle Ground), but my little Kitfox3 would be in pieces!
Sure, send me an email from my website. I can show you some places
awesome, what engine do you have?
Lycoming O-360 C1A with 10-1 pistons
Runways? We don't need no stinkin' runways.
:))

Just noticed this is 16 year old footage, guess you didn't have gas shocks then! LOL
Yeah, that was the beauty of these tires because suspension was really lacking back then.
did u guys go and find the hardest spot to land at lol

finally! Someone knows how to dance!
Best class of flight
Were these videos made more a TV show or something? They aren't current are they? I'm me I guess kinda out of the loop here
made for DVD, still sold at www.bigrockslongprops.com

Wow. How many hours do you have?
Around 4K
wow!
at 5:00 it looked like it could use a turbo....
Phenomenal.
Do you think Corey would have been better in his video if he would have had these tires?
I must have been absent the day they taught this in flight school.
:)

Taking chances on an expensive bush plane. I'm risk adverse. Rather fly than get stuck somewhere or have a prop strike.
Yeah don't take chances
Super samolocik.
Your a bad ass!
Where is the wow button?
Как я вам завидую, как хочется летать !!!
Pack it up with hunter and some gear then let us see what it can do? Nice bush plane if you ask me!
Ese piloto es mi Héroe....
kermi who ?
Wilsooooon!
crazy
Wow
good way for prop strike
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍
I presume they carry a spare prop.
Реально крутые пилоты.
If you dont like flying but turning boulders.
I want your tires.
4X4 AIRPLANE...HAHA
Siiik
It's not a big deal...
Real bush pilot here….ex Hudson air service Alaska ….do all that shit in the wind, overgross, aft cg,with a client , one way strip at dusk, after a 12 hour duty day….then I’ll impressed. You tube is full of wannabes bush pilots. This is no exception. Get real posers…..this is a content provider…..not a bush pilot.
not ever worth the risk
You don't need to know how to fly. Learn to dance first.
The rest is easy!
And I thought I knew what “rough/unimproved field” meant … I honestly think this guy could land this airplane in a municipal landfill if he wanted to ….
