Pics of us checking Cub compass deviation ...

I'm the skinny, petite bald guy positioning the Cub on the compass rose. My son is in front and got to do some fast taxis prior to this test.




Me holding her level while they throttled up for the check. Glasses helped to save my eyes from the prop wash:




They were having fun giving it more throttle while it pulled me forward. I shoulda planted my feet like a tug-o-war contest instead...I think I could hold this 65HP motor back even at full throttle.

Cool!

So, at full throttle and if you let go, would it take off like a helicopter?

Ha! Nah, probably more like one of those toy rubber-band airplanes wound up real tight...

That only works on a treadmill.
