For now we're comfortable with the flylite. I can't really say enough good about it. I'm sure it may be a bit unorthodox as a trainer , but it's the second plane I learned on and I flew it about 100 flights before the first crash. Now it's even better because I slowed it down somewhat. I'm not one for flying slow and low , but it seemed to work fine for us and we never lost orientation at all. Next lesson will be much higher altitude. Now that I remember I did tell Him a few times to advance the throttle and climb to get some more altitude. We were not very high at all , but this plane is so floaty and light that I probably could've dead sticked it in from any point we were. Only trouble would be some wind for us.
I'm sure we'll do very fine for lesson 2.
