This is from a couple of weeks ago when the weather was dryer and we were all a little bit younger!
I was flying my Phoenix Cub and having a great time and then the engine (DLE20RA) quit. The only reason I’ve up with (still to be tested) was that the idle needle valve settings were a little bit lean. I’ve cleaned and readjusted the engine but the new settings are waiting for a bit of dry weather to be tested in the air (they’ve been run on the ground and all looks good). Anyway here is a a vid of the fun I was having when things became a bit more real … enjoy.
That was a long flight Neill. Are you sure it didn’t just run out of fuel ??
No it really was that length, the Cub’s fuel tank holds enough fuel for about 15 minutes of flying.
