But can Tim roll it on the mains?
We still need to get Bobby solo in the back seat of a no flap 65hp J3 so we have an accurate benchmark...if they let Tool Time play with it...
Listen, it's simple, Bobby and the Black Cub won because of two very easy to understand reasons; An amazing airplane and an exceptional pilot - - - End of story. Plus, that wasn't the first time Bobby has won, and that wasn't the first airplane Bobby has won with. Winning once could be a fluke, winning over and over again says it's not a fluke. Winning in whatever airplane you get into says it's the man to a great degree, not just the machine. Flying different airplanes, Bobby has beaten all comers with their given machines.
And as far as the attitude of "Let's see him in the back of a J3" I say BRING IT! But my money is still on Bobby. The long and the short of it is, an amazing airplane has been created and it has been flown masterfully, and I think it's awesome!
Ya but he has the machine and can do it and doesnt yak about it! I flew with him for three days and very much respect him as ac pilot and a person. What others can or cannot do seems to be pointless discussion. He has another half century to perfect his craft which seems to be pretty much there already. Great kid! Great future!
Agreed, it's nice to see someone "walk the walk" & not need to brag about it, vs all the "talk the talk" that goes on here sometimes. I can only imagine what Bobby's STOL capabilities will be in another 10 years.
