Default RE: FAQ in beginners

ORIGINAL: Crashem


FAQ's need steer away from specific product recommendations or endorcements. Rather they should attempt to provide answers to the more generic terms like how to compare differents types of radios, engines, and planes.
Exactly my point (or, one of them anyway).

We don't want to say: "You need to start out with something like the Sig LT-40". Although many of us agree that an LT-40 is an excellent trainer, personally, I would rather see: "It is advisable to start with a High-Wing Trainer type airplane".

Recommendations CAN be made, but there should be several to choose from, and it should be noted that these are not the ONLY ones we recommend, they are just examples of trainers that the writer has first hand knowledge of.

(See how complicated writing is?)
