However i particularly disliked 0 G where things start to float
Try tightening the straps really really tight. I find that helps.

I was in the ATC back in the late 70's flew Chipmonks near Oxford. Had a lot of problems understanding anything said on the intercom as the sound quality was so poor. On one flight when it came time to head back the pilot pointed the plane home and said something on the radio. After what seemed like 5 mins he suddenly said "I have" - which was a bit of a surprise as for the past 5 mins I hadn't been flying it either. I guess he'd got it pretty well trimmed.

Another time a cadet ate a whole family size Battenburg cake before he went up - the results were predictable.

Watch out for the pilot who does some aerobatics and then says "all yours, fly us home". Hint - the airfield is probably behind you.
