I've been gropin around these forums for a couple of months now. (mainly beginners) I've noticed that the general advice is that when you can fly and land your trainer your ready for plane 2.
Flying in nascar left hand circles and landing the plane, only got me ready to crash my next two planes. Then I went back to trainers and really started learning/ playing/ experimenting/ and having a blast with these forgiving planes.
After a previous reply that I made on these forums I thought I'd start a thread about flying techniques and fun little things that can be done with a trainer.
(By the way I fly a very beat up SIG Seniorita)
When I come in for a landing (about 20 feet up or so) I pull straight up into a stall and when it falls straight forward I flair out into a nice landing. (great way to bleed off speed on a fast landing)
Another way to land is start WAY up high and kill the motor. Go into small circles ( 15 ft. diameter or so) right before touch down turn rudder oppisite and glide to land. (gotta watch yourself on this one/ ya tend to get awful brave and wait to long/ hehehe)
Anyone else have any little fun things you do with your TRAINER.
