Even if Mud won't listen I sure am so maybe at least I can learn a little something. As I said earlier, I am more than comfortable with a trainer now. Take off, landing, tail slides etc. The only thing I haven't done much of is inverted flight and thats mostly because with the dihedral it's more trouble than its worth. I did it a little with the Hobbistar, but that was mostly dropping parachute men out of a box taped to the top of the main wing.

I guess MY big question is do I really want to be the one to maiden my Stinger? I would be comfortable doing the maiden on almost any high wing plane now but this is my first flight with a mid/low wing. I've read that the Stinger is somewhat of a floater but it's also aerobatic and much more so than anything I fly regularly.

Is going from High to mid wing different enough that I would have problems? I've never flown a Stinger or even a mid/low wing for any real length of time. Do I dare try the maiden or let this be the next step with a test pilot ?
