A desolate Place. Western strip of Australia.
Vast tracts of Ocean on one side, vast tracts of Desert on the other side, and not much in between!

....served only by Highway 1... :-?...!

Paul... 8-)...!

P.S. Can you "aerobat" a Piper Cub without breaking the wings off?... ;)... ;D...!

Indeed you can. http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=648670272568

You might like to switch the sound off. ;)

PS. Stanley Segalla is older than you. :P

A truly amazing performance from an elderly Gentleman... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

I still wonder if the Piper Cub's airframe, wings, attachments, etc, have been strengthened to allow it to be certified for (public display) Aerobatic performance?

There are many maneuvers

The cub can loop, barrel roll and do some pretty positive g turns

Regarding that, I'll tell you what I often find...

If I have previously been flying a plane with the Autopilot switched on, and didn't shut the plane down fully, including the Autopilot, it affects the next plane I select which is not fitted with an Autopilot!
I have to go back, pick the "Autopilot" plane, and switch it off completely before returning back again to my selected Plane!...;)...!

The Sim can remember what you last did....(or didn't do!)...very scary!.... :o...!

Paul.... ;D... ;D...!
