There's a big difference between the altitude required to do that in a large airplane and a small airplane like a supercub, as well as the reaction of either...and I think it would be a stretch to suggest that the supercub was in the same situation without the ability to compare them directly and the means to make the comparison "equal."

It looks like a caribou with turbine mod, My first guess is a CG aft problem.

Those were the stock R-3350's, not the turbo prop mod. After the aircraft passes the camera location, you can see the augmentor tubes on the wing upper surface. The turbine mod (Buffalo) also has a "T" tail and the engine cowlings look like a Grumman C-2 because the exhaust duct is on the outboard.

I wish people would at least read the linked TSB report before making comments like this. It is a turbine conversion. Doesn't even remotely sound like a radial anyway.

This might be another mod...if you listen to it with the sound on, those are not radials...

You're right, I enhanced the video and took a look at the cowlings and installation. It is a turbo-prop installation. I was mistaken.
 
In case anyone missed it, the video is fake.
