  1. This is my kind of flying. And I flew a Super Cub (which this is) but I don't understand your power settings. Cruise is about 2100 RPM in pretty much every fixed pitch light aeroplane I ever flew. CSU is different. Yes you need to warm the engine if doing engine-off approaches. I did them every 30 seconds or so, just briefly, a quick burst of power, and of course with carb heat on to prevent carb icing - carb icing is why you do the engine warms. Continentals WILL stop if the carb ices up. Lycomings will as well, but less readily. 85 knots is ludicrously high for a Cub approach. 60 knots is in the ball park. 50 if its calm. You were a bit too soon on flap retraction - you need be climbing OK and > 300 feet AGL. Vne on a Cub is about 150, 160 kts. So it's all about energy management. I also flew the L4 Cub, 60hp, flown from the back seat, with the whole side open. No flaps, no nothing really except sick, rudder, and throttle. Fabulous fun. As you flare, the lower cockpit door floats up like an AoA indicator just before all 3 wheels kiss the grass! Here's avid taken a few years ago on a grotty January day from the back seat our Chipmunk of a landing by me, by my elder daughter, landing at Liverpool John Lennon. Slight crosswind from the left so daughter asks if I'm slipping it (as I often do), but no, it's just a cut into the crosswind. You can hear the engine warm rev-up on short final. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpBQeA0nmIs Vince
