Are you kidding? The eagle II has to be one of the best trainers there is. What problems were you having landing it? Pull the power out and pull a little elevator and it will almost land itself.

Can't say as I would agree with getting a different plane. I have taught more to fly on the Eagle II than just about any other plane out there.

as for getting help, it is like I said previously. If you show up at the field, and sit back and watch, you are not going to get help. Get active, talk to everyone there, be friendly, and be forward. Ask them to help, don't wait for the offer. If you wait, you will be waiting all day. If you ask, you will probably fly as much as you can handle.
