One of our anchors at WWL-TV got his license, so we did a feature for one of our shows. One thing I remember most was the sound, because there was no engine noise. You could hear the linkages of the controls working, the different sounds as you banked, the air rushing past the canopy. Someone who had highly tuned hearing could almost fly it blindfolded. He would, of course need to know his altitude. ;-) On Wed, Nov 14, 2012 at 12:24 AM, Adam Bridge <abridge at mac.com> wrote: > Thank you.
