I did look thru my old pics and the Mainship Pilot is not as flat as I thought...
Actually, it kind of funny feeling but the old Mainship leans OUT in a turn. It's kind of a freaky feeling the first couple of times.
So I used to do a hard turn to "rattle" any first time guests I had. Just for my fun of course.
