Sorry for the long subject, but like it says, I'm looking for an image
I came across once, possibly through a link in r.a.* somewhere, from
memory it was of an engineer hanging outside of a cub or similar
changing a spark plug or something in flight. *I think it was an old
advertisement or something.


Anybody know the image I'm talking about and have a link to it?


Yeah. YYou're probably talking about Merle Larson. He was a barnstormer
that used to do it in a porterfield in the early days and later in a cub
for airshows.http://www.pipercubforum.com/handprop.htm

I was impressed until I read that there was someone at the controls.
Thought he was the only one on board. Still kinda cool, I guess.
