Great video! I can still hear my dad say, " Stay on the pedals and stick all the way back." Nothing like a J-3!! ❤
-
Glad to see another Cub Pilot that can handle crosswinds!
-
Geez I'm glad you make these videos. REALLY helpful, Joe.
-
This and Trent ❤ best two channels on YouTube. And add Jeb Corliss and it would be as great as drinking a beer with the actual Red Baron ❤❤❤❤

Wow Joe, best video on crosswind landings I've seen. Thank you!
-
Thanks Joe. Brilliant visuals and advice. What a great topic for light aircraft pilots! I really liked how you discussed the various landing types and what to do. One of your best ever videos!! Loved it.
-
Thx for posting this vid Sport Pilot with 70+ hours and Im still working on being more comfy in the crosswind landings. It helps a lot!

Good Video and good crosswind technique, the verbal instruction was very concise and helpful. Crosswind landings are always a bit of a challenge in a tail wheel airplane, and very satisfying to do good ones. I am very impressed how you always stayed on the centerline. I have a sweet Champ with a C85-8. It loves to fly.

You can also angle towards the wind on touchdown, so that you are more aligned into the wind on touchdown, straightening out after the tailwheel comes down. A 10-15 deg decrease in the sine of the crosswind angle, can make a big difference in the crosswind component. Angling works on takeoff, too.

Thanks Joe for the heads ups on not getting into a Ground loop

Excellent, thank you Joe. And thanks for the blue on the stick. It helps a lot to see the movements. Pom poms on your toes would be good but I don't blame you for not doing that!
-
There is just something about a Cub! Wow!
-
Excellent video, Joe- could not have come at a better time for me! I’ve been trying to work on my confidence in a crosswind with the J3. I still get pretty antsy if it’s over 5kts 😅 Thanks for this!
-
Great video, Joe.

Best of the best!!!

You make it all look sooo easy. Nice job. My fox only weighs about 650lbs and it gets bullied by the wind if you dont keep on top of it, which I'm still tying to master. Love watching your videos, they inspire me to keep practicing... :)
