is it true that luscombes have a groundloop problem or something cuz thats what i heard and i wasn't sure if it was true

[mjtracy]

Luscombes don't have a ground-looping problem, pilots do.

My first few rides, when I was 3-5, were in a Luscombe

owned by my father's pal. He asked me if I'd like to fly the plane (my kid brother and I both were strapped in on my mother's lap.) I grabbed the yoke without an instant's hesitation and he grinned like we were getting away with something.

look at the title lol.

Is it a cessna 140?

[SenorSpode]

@chicoescalada Definitely not a Cessna 140: a 140 has a fatter, rounder tail and the wing has a little more dihedral.
