Default RE: Jack Sheets Hurricane

Actually, more than one or two guys used to fly stunt "to the right". Not a bunch, but more than a couple. A few even got their models published in the magazines. And the lefthanded guys often wanted to fly clockwise so they could whip easier. (you remember whipping? where you pulled the control handle to help the airplane?)

Needless to say, rat and goodyear had nobody turning right.

Now, a buddy and I used to fly combat for a couple of years and we took great delight when pitting the other guy to throw his plane "backward" on the launch. Not a good idea at a contest, but great fun when out doing engine testing etc.....
