A piper cub is not a tricycle gear airplane, it’s a tail dragger.
Careless error before coffee ;-)
I flew both the Cub and the Aeronca Champ in days past, and CLEARLY they were tail draggers. Like you, never seen a tricycle-gear Cub. TriPacer yes, Cub no. Tripacer was the first GA aircraft I ever flew in, back when my dad and I were both young(er).
I would not have wanted to land the plane with ONE tire missing.
Maybe into a 15 kt headwind so my speed over the ground would be minimal on touchdown.
A later poster named the aircraft type as a Cherokee, which makes a LOT more sense.
Enjoy your day. I am headed off for more coffee ;-)
....agree...! have a number of hours in a genuine WWII-era Cub and it ain’t no trike airplane....also, what kind of radios did the pilot and her instructor have...? Cubs have no electrical system and no radios, unless they had hand-held units.?? jus’ askin’........
BTW, if you watch that video but listen to the audio, you can hear the controller state “when you touch down it’s going to pull to the right when that right wheel touches down.” (or words close to that).
Interesting difference between the video and the audio.
