STOL Training in a Top Cub (Feat. Tac Aero)
Checking off a bucket list item with TacAero, learning how to land a Top Cub on a sandbar... in this video I wanted to document the training that went into learning to land on a sandbar in the Texas Hill Country. I have about 150 hours in a Super Cub, most of which are in short field operations but today's airstrip is the shortest I've landed on so far. I learned so much in this process and wanted to document it so that we could all learn from my mistakes. I'm putting together a full debrief of what I learned in this process and will include the link below when it's ready. TacAero is an elite flight school that specializes in backcountry and tailwheel operations. Learn more at https://www.tacaero.com/ And no, I did not receive any compensation from TacAero for this video. DISCLAIMER: TacAero trains at private airstrips to which they have access. This video was for demonstration purposes only. Do not attempt.
