    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

XCub-Related Videos

Here are some FlightChops videos that inspired my interest in the XCub during the alpha testing for MSFS and made it one of my top favorites - STOL flying, bush flying, river running, etc. They provide some great information on flap settings power settings as well.

Although not an XCub, here is a two-part video with the very similar Carbon Cub FX (also made by CubCrafters) and how to do a STOL approach and landing, with the stall warning beeping the whole way down. I really enjoy copying this procedure, exactly, in MSFS with the XCub - it does it just perfectly as shown in the videos. The bush strip they fly to/out of in the second video is Stehekin State Airport, WA, which looks just the same in the sim (a big patch of dirt surrounded by trees in a beautiful gorge near the Steheken River).

Another video with the Carbon Cub FX and STOL training:

A two-part video that compares the XCub to two of the other CubCrafters aircraft, the Carbon Cub and the Carbon Cub FX. The big airport they fly out of in these videos is Yakima Air Terminal (McAllister Field) KYKM, home to CubCrafters, and the little grass airport they practice landings at is the nearby Buena Airport, on the Yakima River, only about a 5-6 minute flight away (and you have to deal with the same trees on the end of runway 29 as seen in the video).

Lots of videos at the CubCrafters' Youtube channel too: https://www.youtube.com/c/cubcrafters/videos

There are of course lots of videos and video diaries on Youtube from owners of CubCrafters aircraft and the back-country flights they've been on.
