I was fortunate to accompany a friend in an Aeronca Chief, on several occasions. On one of our "doss-abouts" he stood it on it's ear and did a 360, culminating in a jiggle as we flew through our own wake....it wasn't a fluke, he could do it at will (as I remember, it was a "still-air" day.
My attempt....crank it over, pull back and a bit of opposite rudder....nowhere near...but there was no mush, buffet or other untoward feedback. Happy days, Armstrong starting and an Icom handheld...when he got a portable intercom.....LOOXURY!
