Our local EAA chapter hosted the Trimotor at MTO, and I volunteered to help. Took the family down for breakfast early this morning and was able to get a ride in the right seat. The pilot is an MEI, so I was able to log it as dual received and he signed my logbook. Convinced 3 of the kids to go for a ride as well, so I can say I got to fly my kids in a Trimotor for Father's day. Super fun to get up close and personal with this old girl.
The controls are super heavy, and she demands a lot of rudder. The over-banking tendency is pronounced. I'm pretty impressed that the pilot was able to fly 12 flights in 90*+ temperatures and 14 knot crosswinds.
