I read a story about bush flying in a Cub, where the pilot would lower
a bucket out the window on a rope. He would then go into a constant
tight banked turn, with one wing of the Cub pointed at the bucket. He
could spiral down, and place the bucket stationary on the ground, so a
person on the ground could drop off or retrieve small objects.

By extension, with a long enough rope you should be able to fasten a
rope to the ground, take off, and then fly in circles around the end of
the rope. Repeat until you get dizzy and crash.

I don't want to try it. But I want to watch.
