June 28, 201213 yr Found it great to try "Gold" on some challenges... It's quite maneuverable and easy on those "Gold Coin" circuits I was unable to complete... Of course some of the landing challenges in Alaska also bring up it's extraordinary STOL characteristics. The gravel landing challenge under very stron winds, with the tress swaying in the wind, is a must!

June 28, 201213 yr Try inverting it and see what happens :P I love the plane, I have spent most of my time flying the southern fjords skimming the tires across the water and seeing how short of a landing strip I can create on the sandbars and riverbanks. Two votes for cockpitless airplanes. Do I hear three? Its a great dis-service to the cub to have it without a cockpit, but it was free...
June 28, 201213 yr I'm trying to uninstall it... Hopefully Microsoft goes back through all these basic aircraft and offer a deluxe upgrade. I'd buy them all then...

June 29, 201213 yr Yeah, I would probably pick up the war birds if they had cockpits. I'd grab the F4U for sure, if only it had a cockpit.
June 29, 201213 yr I'm trying to uninstall it... Hopefully Microsoft goes back through all these basic aircraft and offer a deluxe upgrade. I'd buy them all then... I keep thinking that they will come up with some DLC that will offer the upgrade to the current planes we have now to make it all 100% funtional. Image removed as image is no longer available.
June 29, 201213 yr Overall I have been enjoying Flight but I have a hard time understanding the facination with flying, if you can call it that, a cockpitless aircraft. I personally will not purchase one and refuse to "fly" the free ones in either Hawaii or Alaska or wherever. Hopefully MS will release a more suitable aircraft for Alaska in the near future.
June 29, 201213 yr Yes I have used the Cub in Hawaii. For today's aerocache as a matter of fact. I must say it's actually quite a nimble little plane. I was going quite slow with almost no throttle coasting in, and even became overconfidant and clipped a mast on one of the sail boats. I was able to easily recover. While doing this, I thought, hmmmm.... all this water around and these big fat tires... I wonder. So this is me. Here I glide into the water. And then climb out. It was pretty cool. There is also one thing I never really noticed before. Maybe I just didn't pay any attention. There was smoke pouring out of this smoke stack... Did that always occure in Hawaii?
June 29, 201213 yr I can tolerate the cub. I like Alaska. We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

June 29, 201213 yr I would use the "great carbon cub" in Hawaii....if there was a great carbon cub. :LMAO: Best, Michael KDFW
June 29, 201213 yr There is also one thing I never really noticed before. Maybe I just didn't pay any attention. There was smoke pouring out of this smoke stack... Did that always occure in Hawaii? Yes, that's been in there since release. I'm a bit hazy about the smoke (uhm...), but you should see the same while on approach into Kahului on Mau'i.
June 29, 201213 yr I used it only to do challenges in Alaska. I don't like cockpitless planes. I don't have right feeling using them.
