Caproni A-21SJ

What a monster! Fully flying stab with a trim that at times zipped to random places, coupled with massively heavy ailerons. PIO-prone Spaghetti Wagon, Indeed!

Gotta love a design that require transiting full negative flaps to get to the drag flap settings. So, if you were low on the approach and wanted to fully close the brakes, you ended up, for an instant, in full negative flaps. Holy unstabilized approach, Batman! Rich Benbrook developed the best technique: approach insanely high at 80 kts, fully deploy the brakes and leave them there to touchdown. Worked famously.

The nearly terminal velocity brakes allowed vertical descents but the rudder pedals (you were essentially standing on) made weird crunchy noises that made me uncomfortable.

+1 on the inward cant seating position. Like WX, I relied on the "third glareshield screw method" for alignment.

Thanks to the late Ray Williams for letting us fly his beloved "MR". It was a thrill and provided the unique experience of holding hands with Kristie while soaring the sky together; a truly magical experience.
