If you every have some time to kill and want to mess around a little, try this.

Go into the Custom Weather settings and set the wind speed to its max on a heading right down your favorite runway. Then jump into a Piper J3 and go flying. What a blast! With the right power setting, you can hover as long as you like! Put it a little nose high and cut some power, you can have a negetive ground speed.

Try it for real sometime. I did, I was at 4500' when I did. I put the 172 into slow flight going south over Buckeye lake( Ohio)----50mph indicated. I'll bet my ground speed was'nt more than 10-15 mph.

Still need help?
