sorry to go off the thread a little
but, the other day i saw a video from that airfield in NY. Old Rheinbeck(i think)anyway, this pilot did a display in a cub. loops rolls etc.
Q. Can cubs do this?
Q Has it been strengthened?
or
Is the pilot insane?
Ah the Flying Farmer Routine... Stan Segalla... He's been doing it every other summer weekend at least as long as I've been alive and in the same aeroplane without breaking it. But it's best left to him perhaps...

My regret is that I didn't see him do it when I went to Old Rhinebeck... Maybe next time... soon..
