The C172 - probably the best default prop in X-Plane 10

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!!!

Oh , kind of a  parasite drag (but that is because of icing).

parasite drag in this case is more because of bugging :-)

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.

Oracle even you passed :)
