Kent Pietsch flies a number of different routines in his 1942 Interstate Cadet, including a power-off "dead stick" aerobatic routine that starts from an altitude of 6,000 feet and ends with Kent landing at show center and parking the aircraft's nose against the outstretched hand of Denny Clisham, one of the airshow announcers.

Kent also lands the Cadet on top of his recreational vehicle as it is driven down the show line - not easy since he cannot even see the RV over the nose of his aircraft during the final approach!

Last but not least is his outstanding comedic aerobatic act, featuring almost unbelievable maneuvers even after the loss of various parts of the aircraft. In this routine, one aileron falls of the plane and he only fly?s with one! In the photo, his aileron that should have left the plane got stuck. He had no problems flying the rest of the routine!!! :)

Right, I was wondering about the flap too lol. Did he just correct with rudder? or is that possible? Cool photos btw.
