Re: A docile Cub
Lot to consider but one thing that is seldom talked about is NOT trying to get back on the runway or stop, just let it roll and brake easy!! I have run off the runway multiple times it is not a big deal. Just get control of the aircraft and slow to taxi back on or over to taxi way. I have seen several aircraft on the nose or flipped on a perfect smooth midfield because the pilot panicked and locked the brakes after leaving the runway. I suspect that a gusty crosswind was present the way the tail was pushed over and the wing lifted very fast. Need the rest of the story. DENNY

Re: A docile Cub
Yea, I would like to see a larger version of this video and more of the story as well. I kept watching what I could see of the elevator.

Re: A docile Cub
That plane had a lot of remaining energy to get back into the air. It almost looks like a faked model. I didn't see much tree movement from wind, it did look like the elevator did move some.
