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.


I think he did do this solo at airshows. He did it in the thirties in the
little baby Porterfield parasol. He also did it as an instructor in the
CPTP when an engine died while doing stalls with a student. Imagine the
student's surrpise when he got out.
