Two questions about the PIPER CUB

wrote: Tony Piper was one of the first to try out the Brodie Device. Curious about what reduction in drag would result from removing the landing gear, he flew off and on the Brodie without wheels- Wouldn't have been feasible. It was standard practice for Brodie pilots to be trained to step out onto the landing gear in the event that the engine quit, in order to prop the plane, thus saving the LST crew from having to lower the plane to the deck again for a re-start. -- all the best, Dan Ford email: usenet AT danford DOT net Warbird's Forum: www.warbirdforum.com Piper Cub Forum: www.pipercubforum.com the blog: www.danford.net In Search of Lost Time: www.readingproust.com
