Hi guys,

Its been a while now since I started learning how to fly with my friend and we are both fairly competent as far as take off and landing goes. Okay, maybe the odd aborted approach and perhaps stalling at two feet instead of two inches but I always (touch wood) get the plane down in one piece these days.

I've messed with aerial video and now just find myself flying around aimlessly until I need to land. More often than not trying to make low passes and basically things I should probably not be doing yet.

What I would like from you guys is some direction as to what I should learn now. I fly mainly with the aileron and elevator but I do also use the throttle sometimes. I am currently flying about at around 30% throttle just trying to get better at flying slow as its all quite easy on full blast. I also increase throttle if say I want to loop or climb quickly. I sometimes, on windy days lower throttle on the downwind leg to keep the speed down.

At this stage what should I be trying to learn?

What sort of maneuvers is my high wing trainer capable of? If you guys can tell me which moves then I can look them up on youtube and learn them.

I do also have a Seagull PC-9 but I find thats a little fast and has quite a high wing loading for my level of skill. DOn't get me wrong I can fly it about and land it okay but I want to try and learn as much as I can with the trainer before I progress to the PC-9.

All replies much appreciated guys.
