June 26, 20205 yr Nice! Intel i-9 13900KF @ 6.0 Ghz, MSI RTX 4090 Suprim Liquid X 24GB, MSI MAG CORELIQUID C360, MSI Z790 A-PRO WIFI, MSI MPG A1000G 1000W, G.SKILL 48Gb@76000 MHz DDR5, MSI SPATIUM M480 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 2TB, Windows 11 Pro Ghost Spectre x64 “We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the day and night to visit violence on those who would do us harm”.
June 26, 20205 yr Nothing looks better on this legend, than this bright yellow....(need sun-glasses, though...🙂...) Lovely shot, here,...and, that too, at mere 35mph...!!

June 28, 20205 yr I found, on-line, some delightful reading, especially, for the layman (non-pilot) like me, e.g. excerpts from the A2A Cub Manual: "Slow-flight, stalls and spins are the heart and soul of the Cub. A cynic might say that the Cub can only fly in “slow flight”, but we will not permit that kind of disrespectful blasphemy here. You can really slow the Cub down and still have excellent control in all axes, up to a point, of course. Indicated airspeeds of 40 MPH or less are easy to accomplish. You will have lots of warning before the stall - ... At its gross weight, the Cub’s low wing-loading (total wing area/gross weight) ... is a major factor as to why the Cub has such a low stall speed and such gentle slow speed behavior. There are no flaps on the Cub. One might think that with such good slow speed performance they are not necessary. Well, yes and no...." etc. "The Cub’s stall speed at gross weight is already very low: 36-38 MPH or less in most instances. Lift-off occurs at around 40 MPH after a very short roll as mentioned before, and the speed at touchdown is also already very low (under 40 MPH if no wind). Accordingly, flaps do not appear to be needed. However, some people install them anyway. This is a very rare and expensive modification, and you may see hundreds of Cubs before you ever see one with flaps added...." etc. I was always wondering about the flaps (or, actually, lack thereof) on the Cubs... Anyway, your (SIM) Speed/RPM, here,...seem to be (realistically) at the edge of Cub's envelope.... I was thinking, to myself, I probably drive faster than 35 mph, in the local neighborhoods,...🙂.....(except, of course, in the School Zones)... The Cub and the Annie...stand apart from the rest of the league...as a duo of legends...!! Thanks for posting this interesting screenshot...!!

One of the great features of all the rag wing Pipers is the effectiveness of the slip. A forward slip to a landing allows you to add or subtract drag which leads to very accurate placement of the gear when you reach terra firma. There's nothing prettier than a Cub on final, coming at you almost sideways then, in the last few feet allowing the plane to realign and reach the three point attitude almost simultaneously. That's airmanship and no flaps required. Edited June 28, 20205 yr by olderndirt
June 28, 20205 yr "...in the last few feet allowing the plane to realign and reach the three point attitude almost simultaneously..." Sounds good....not sure, If I could perfect it, though....🙂...... But, I do recall, in one of the Payware SIM (small) aircraft (forget which one...), there was elaborate instruction about how to accomplish such a landing....and I'd indeed tried it...(a while ago)...
