contact,
lets face it, when they built cubs, stearmans, tiger moths etc - you flew by the seat of your pants, and with good ears to listen to what she was telling you..... I would not allow anyone to fly my cub unless they knew how to listen to the airframe both with the noisy bit and with the feel - and if they did not know how to locate a horizon irrespective of vis or bank angle- then you aint gonna get it.... the most beautiful thing to fly with the radio turned off..or if fitted at all...the clam doors wide open and 20ft above the sea in the last hour of the day - magical.... roll on the summer
