When I was a kid, the was a ride at Buckeye lake amusement park. It
was like one of those spin around swing rides where the riders are in
swings and whole thing spins and the riders swing out as it goes
faster and faster. This thing was basically a little fuselage with a
'rudder' you could deflect right and left as you spun around. If you
really got it right you could almost do a wingover as it spun around.
Not a very good description, but it was a blast for a 9 year old kid!

Cool. Never seen one of those. Only the swing seats. I've been tempted
to build the Penguin from the old flying and glider manual...
