Personally, I'd keep the Luscombe over the Cub. Luscombes are a bit more squirrelly on the ground, but are a lot fun, not to mention quite a bit faster on the same hp. You also will command a bit more respect as a tailwheel pilot if you fly a Luscombe.

I’d keep the Luscombe too. Of course, I already own an 8E! Don’t buy the hype that they’re more squirrelly on the ground. They are just more responsive to the rudder pedals on the ground. If you try and taxi it like a Cub, stomping on the pedals, you’ll ground loop it. They like finesse, like any grand lady does!

Who’d a thunk it? Jimmy has 380, 000 subscribers and growing rapidly. Actually, when I saw his first videos I was pretty sure he would be a hit! YouTube is becoming the video library for everyone thanks to guys like Jimmy.

I loved flying the 8A. I put around 150 hours on the all metal wing version in 4 years while I was in college. I found wheel landing to be the best way control it on the ground. Many of my college friends got their first experience flying in in a small plane with me. They had a lot of fun watching me hand prop it. This was flat-out the most fun seat-of-the-pants low and slow experience I ever had in the air. Wish I could afford one now. Thanks for the memories Jimmy.

Loved the dubbing, it looked like a bad Chinese karate movie from the 70's.

0:15 - I'm now in love with that control panel in the Luscombe! In fact I'm in love with the whole airplane, what a beauty!

[Steve-Kratz]

Thank you for the "I'm dubbing" message Jimmy - Drinking a few beers, and thought my internal audio processor was whacked!

[murdoch]

That Luscombe is a beaut, keep it! Everyone has seen a Cub, great stuff but man, I'd love that Luscombe! :D

BLESSED relief from background music from 5:55 - 6:35. Please consider us old fartos that would prefer to hear clear channel. 🙏

I just got my Bellanca Super Viking in the air yesterday. First flight in 19 years!!! I wish I could attach the video.

I agree with the Luscombe over a Cub! Jimmy, you would have better starting if you pulled the prop thru when priming. I had a 65 HP Chief and a Luscombe - both hand start, and they started very well in summer and winter. I think they were Eisman mags which were made with platinum points- never had trouble with them. Slick mags are ok if you overhaul them every 400-500 hours, and they do not hand start near as well.

Hey Jimmy! I was in Air Force Tech school with you! Dirt Boys lead the way! Been watching you ever since!!!

Never mind the Cub, love the Luscombe can’t wait to see it fly. Juan Brown from the Blancolirio channel has a beautiful one.

Dang, ending narration by Morgan Freeman, you’re getting fancy! 🤣

[davebrittain]

Jimmy I am just loving this series of videos! I can't wait till the next one.

I have my grandfather's flight logs from the mid 50s when he got his pilots license. Most of his time was in a Lusc 8A. Cool to see one up close!
