Re. The article in The Times, does anyone here knowledgeable about Stearmans know what this comment from T C-T might be referring to?
Quote:
He never flew the plane. The Stearman is not even fully dual. You can take the stick and follow it around, but he’s not flying it,” she says. That refers to the limited front controls that enable old tandem planes to be flown from either seat.
Just wondering what "limited front controls" might be - I had assumed it would either have dual controls or not have them, but not half and half. ��
In my Stearman it can flown accurately from either seat. My Stearman is certified for solo only in the rear seat. By solo I mean the usual interpretation of the word...... Not TCT’s
