I've always been amazed that airplane can take all that abuse. The hill behind the runway makes that video particularly more dramatic.

For the most part this is a stock PA-18A Super Cub. The plane has been lightened about 25 pounds and the engine has gone from 150hp to 181hp. The engine is still the original O-320 but with higher compression pistons, a Leading Edge Exhaust System which added another 13hp by itself, and few other small modifications. The engine now has 181hp.

A lot of it is down to energy management. It's surprising what can be done in a glider if you know what you're doing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnMPNKMZUgA&feature=related

The local FSDO used to have a field day everytime the Frankins came to town. This past airshow here in Wichita I talked to the "head cheese" FAA guy and he said he's given up. Regardless, Kyle is a great entertainer and showman Cool
