Any pilot logging time in a 65/75HP Piper Cub or Aeronca Champ has experienced negative groundspeed at one time or another! Great memories!

A neighbor flew an Aeronca on floats, regularly taking scouts for rides on weekends. One year, he installed a 130-HP engine. The plane practically popped out of the water!
