Fixing Roll

[bongodriver]

It always has been described as a 'pilots dream' in flight, the gound handling aspect is not an unfamiliar scenario for alot of taildraggers, again I put the stearman into it with its very high ground angle and large round front end it is impossible to see ahead until the nose is lowered, the spitfire pilots I have spoken to would describe something similar to your extract....but hands off might be a bit of interpretation, I consider the Stearman to be more hands off than the Tiger Moth but it is only a relative term.
