Some of you guys are really good, I mean know how to train and treat someone. I remember when I bought my Alfa 40 trainer and opened it up and found a radio with no rudder pedals and started wondering how the heck you suppose to fly this thing ?. Well my problem is/was that I've been a pilot and now I was about to learn the true meaning of hand-eye coordinationand fly with two thunbs and hang on to the radio all at the same time. I also had an instructor that said don't touch that one, we won't be useing the rudder. They did'nt say that when I went to flight school and figured this guy don't know how to fly so how the h is he going to teach me. As it turned out, the plane flew pretty well without the rudder and -well I was surprised. There is alot of difference however, not being in the plane there times when every thing is backwards. Anyway you new guys will be pretty busy with the right joy stick and getting your bearings and the rudder will come in time. Learn the basics first and work in the rudder a little bit at a time because you'll need it when you move up to foiled wings and full foiled planes.

I was told that pilots are the worst guys to train and they are probably right. It took over a mounth to get out of that plane, that was 5 yrs. ago and I'll fly anything today.

Fly safe and have fun doing it. Leroy
