November 18, 201411 yr Author Why would a glider be faster than a 172 ? Because it's slim and optimized regarding drags... My colleagues in competitions are so picky about their gliders being super slick that they use BUG CLEANERS!!! Learning to fly gliders since 1980Stopped using flightsims for good since early August 2026, after 34 yrs using some really great specimens... If I'm asked to name the preferred one, after all these years, MSFS 2024 is my answer without hesitation.(No desktop :-// after the last one crashed for good, so no simming, but I keep polling AVSIM - my main ludic activities spot since around 2006...)

November 18, 201411 yr Ironmaiden, Three of my favorite aircraft to fly are the J3 Cub, PA18 Super Cub and B75 Stearman. None have an AI and don't have much else in the way of instrumentation in general. In the case of the J3, the pilot sits in the back and the passenger in the front. You can't see the instruments the vast majority of the time and they really don't matter most of the time. The J3 has no electric or vacuum system so the only instruments are a compass, oil pressure and temp gauge, RPM gauge and a non sensitive altimeter. The answer is yes, of course you can.
