[... another basic question ...]


Perhaps members of the newsgroup can toss some dollars together and
air-mail an introductory flight-training book or two to this curious
but apparently library-less poster, so as to save him time in asking a
thousand individual questions. Or perhaps a good set of URLs he can
spend time reading instead of writing on Usenet?

Wow, but isn't that a pain in, say, a 3-hour flight? To not being

able
to let go of the control column and stretch the legs can be tiresome,
I'd imagine.


Think of it as not much different from driving a car down a highway for
3 hours. You don't have to grasp the controls with clenched fingers,
you know A little nudge here and there is all, and you can move
your legs around too.

And what if you've to go to the loo?


Same as with a car. You find someplace to stop. Otherwise, use a
bottle

Uh... about that bottle... don't ever forget to empty it during a stop and
decide to pour it out of the window at the run-up area prior to the next
t/o... bad for the side of the plane! Not to mention the side of your face
when some gets blown back in by the prop! A friend of mine did that once!
LOL!

Why, you just turn roll to inverted, so as not to mess the floor or
anything, and let 'er rip!

A friend of mine got caught short in the Cub, which he likes to fly
because, as he says, its endurance is about the same as his: two
hours.

He peed in the gas sample tube, which holds what, two ounces? He
thought it was quite funny, but I have never felt the same about the
gas sampler since.
