A sad story; hopefully a happy ending...

This is a short one, but as those of you that have been following the channel for a while know, this airplane is some what of a central character in the "Flight Chops" evolution.  Hopefully this is the start to a longer series about bringing the Super Cub back to life. 

There is a ton of awesome stuff coming thanks directly to the support here.  The recent mountain flying trip yielded a ton of great footage, and so did the Oshksoh trip - I was actually secretly relieved to have this short one to fit in between the more epic things we've produced lately.

I look forward to sharing more solid episodes, and am able to put in the editing time thanks in large part to your being on board with this campaign!  I am REALLY happy to be able to give back to you guys via the give-aways from sponsors - thanks to Bose coming on board the monthly prize is now up to $750 and I have an A20 headset worth over $1000 to give away this season!  Please enter the contests so you can get a chance to win.  It amounts to being on my mailing list from which a news letter will be sent about once per month.  I have your email addresses here on Patreon, but I don't dare add you to any sort of mailing list with out consent - As it stands, when you get an email from me, I send them one at a time by manually getting your address from the account profile here. 

Thanks again for sticking around as we build this "Flight Chops" thing!

Steve.

Dan Clark oh what a shame, great aircraft. I have that book too, I'm going to give it to my flight buddy who recently obtained his RPL and is not far off his PPL

I hope you all enjoy this one - I'm proud to be able to independently produce stuff like this, that holds up against TV standard shows!  Lot's more coming out of the awesome content we shot down there!  Thanks for the support helping to make this happen!

A bare bones shoot...

...But a heck of an edit :P 

I felt like I was doing mental gymnastics when cutting this one!  Thanks for the support allowing me to take a few days full tome to focus on making these two separate stories into a cohesive single episode.  I'm happy with how it came together.

Jonathon Solum "A bare bones shoot..."....Blowing Snow! Put it this way sir schteevie, your "bare bones" is 1,000 times better than my full hardest attempt at what someone might vaguely call a production piece. It was nice to see something that reminded me of when I first started watching your videos, when you only had *gasp* one or two cameras! Sometimes it's nice to go back to your roots. But don't get me wrong, I do love the full production shoots though, but these are great also!

Flight Chops Thanks so much for this feedback Jonathon! I appreciate knowing that I can get away with stepping the production insanity back a notch now and then to get some breathing room :P

Jonathon Solum Anytime Steve. It's nice to be "oooo'd and ahhhh'd" by pretty graphics and smart camera work, but it's the content that makes it! If I didn't like the content you put out, I wouldn't be on Patreon shouting "TAKE MUH MONEY!"

Bill Sedgwick What happened to that great little aircraft was a bummer and I hope the idiot who did it paid big time. That said, it's really interesting to see the inner workings of the plane and hear the care and trouble that is taken to keep planes flying. And the iPhone, week that's ridiculous!

Flight Chops Thanks Bill! I'm just back from filming in Atlanta - and hopefully we'll be filming more of the Super Cub rebuild soon.
