And they say hand propping without a wheel chock is risky.

Hi C.. Look what I found.

I first saw this picture on the wall in the lobby of the FBO at Sidney, NE when bringing back a 1954 PA-18 L4 purchased there. Just by chance Hi C watched us fly it away.

With balls that big, I'm surprised he could even get off the ground in a Cub.
