BEagle's story about the Quickie reminds me of a tale I heard several years ago about a certain gentleman of special note. I, so much, want the story to be true - however in light of the nanny forum mesage posted today I offer an alleged version!
Allegedly this sprightly pensioner found himself in the dock, after he had allegedly beaten-up Santa Pod raceway in a Stearman and gone through the timing lights in the opposite direction which allegedly caused said lights to malfunction.
He was allegedly found guilty of occassioning damage and breaching the ANO.
Allegedly the beak pronounced his verdict and told the gentleman that he would have to pay for the damage and would have to surrender his pilot's licence.
"Your Honour, I have never held a licence", said gent was allegedly heard to say in court, "but I was an RAF pilot during the last war".
standing by to be corrected or disciplined by the fun police

and my easiest to fly is a C208 Caravan and the hardest to fly well is to hand fly a Cheyenne II. The Pitts - it's honest, it does exactly what you tell it (instantaneously) until you tell it to stop (almost instantaneously)!
