David2ayo Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Obviously not a Stol pigeon. I have never seen a bird perched at 90 degrees to a strong wind. Photo shopped? If it was a budgie, it could have been nailed to its perch (just ask John Cleese) David 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riley Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Ailerons are a bit stiff, hows those tie straps? If it happened to be photoed in OZ, can't you just see CASA crapping themselves in attempts to identify the pilot/cyclist? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going backwards it'll be mainly a lot more drag...but going forwards, it's a sort of wing, who knows what sort of aerodynamic effect it might have...and maybe someone found that out the hard way??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
