RE: Is it hard to fly a Cub?
(From Private Pilot's Guide Glossary)
Skid - "Sideward motion of an airplane in flight produced by centrifugal force."
Slip - The controlled flight of an airplane in a direction not in line with its longitudinal axis.
(the word is "controlled", not necessarily "coordinated". ) Properly used, slips are helpful, and fun.
DB said he had to use opposite aileron while IN the turn, not to start the turn. So, as Lou wrote, might be due to overuse of the rudder IN the turn. We've all done it.
Ok, we've taken off, flown the Cub, now let's land it. Main wheel landings are cool, and the preferred method, but since I have tall grass, (pasture) I like a long shallow approach, a little power, float it in slow and 3 point it. I've not experienced any bad habits on cross wind landings, though others may disagree.
