thank your for the vid my paps flies for Northwest/Delta airlines and baught a 1959 luscombe, unsure of the letter, verry tight in the cockpit when u get 2 grown men in there lol but i gota tell u its fun to fly and easy to learn
I flew an 8E in my teens and learned aerobatics in it. I was scolded by an ex-airline captain who was trying sell me aerobatic flight time in a Pitts. He told me how unsafe it was to loop, spin, and snap roll an old airplane like that. He died about a month later when he crashed his Pitts during an airshow routine.
Thanks for making the world a safer place for us all Captain America. How does it feel to be so important that you have to make sure you right all things you feel are unfit for you?....Jerk...
Here at Argentina there are many 8E/8F and J3/PA11 for training. A Luscombe is about U$ 15.000. I'm planning to get one this year for adding experience and flying hours so I can get into an Airline. Is that common at England? I mean, getting this kind of planes for adding experience?

-- heard luscombes were aerobatic-capable -- are they legal in the US for it?

You can do a loop, roll, spin and go inverted in them, but I wouldn't dare try pulling off the kinds of tricks that stunt planes do.
Someone once told me that you'd have to be crazy as h*ll to ever snap-roll a Luscombe...
