G'day

I learned to fly when I was forty and it took me several years to be reasonably competent. Even now after more than 20 years since I started I am still learning and there are some planes I just would not fly.

As the others have said - you need a good trainer. We don't know how old you are. The older, the slower you will be to learn and the slower and more stable the model you need.

I am a great lover of Sig kits. In particular I love the Sig Kadet Senior. I am currently teaching a 65 year old to fly and even the highly stable Kadet sometimes gets him lost.

So I guess I am saying that if you are 20 or less, anything will do. If you are 30 to 40 then any moderate sized trainer that is not too fast will do. If you are 40 to 50 then a 60 size trainer will help as it will be slower and easier to see (or a Kadet Senior which is also large). If you are over 50 then the Kadet Senior is the one.

Hope this helps a bit.

Cheers from New South Wales.
