Air to air combat , crashes and mid air collisions
Three of us spent the day, chasing the cubs with a firebird freedom with onboard cameras. Watch out for the death of a cub and also a mid air collision between the cub and freedom. A great day the result was 1 snapped fuselage, 1 burnt out motor and a dented VW Caravelle wher the SuperCub hit it, Thanks Stef !

This video is made up of three videos taken today from two different planes. You actually see the SuperCub crash during a dogfight with anothert Cub, got away pretty lightly with just a damaged motor, the second Cub crashed into a car on site and dented it, Cub will need a new fuselage, prop, cowl and gearbox. Forward facing vid is with a Firebird Freedom.
