However, it is fun trying and it was fun seeing what near perfection looked like. Actually it is possible to approach the smoothness of Bob Hoover. Although Bob is one of the finest pure stick drivers I've ever seen, there is nothing magical or even difficult about the way Hoover handles an airplane. What Bob does is based on a solid knowledge of control dynamics and an ability to predict based on hundreds of hours of concentrated practice. Bob would be the first to tell you that after all the fan fare about his flying ability has been considered, what it all boils down to is using the simple basics correctly. Yes, I've heard him say this too. And it's true. It's as simple as that. ANY pilot possessing normal coordination skills and the desire to learn how to do things correctly coupled with a mind set that is geared to practice can fly an airplane every bit as smoothly and expertly as a Bob Hoover. 'Course they'd have to actually BE a pilot. Lest Anthony starts getting notions Bertie I'll tell you the truth. Through the years, I've seen Bob in all kinds of moods when dealing with people. I'm not at all sure he would know how to react to Anthony :-)) I think he'd just smile condescendingly and walk away. :-) Matt |
