Had the experience with a young man last weekend who showed up with a brand new Uproar. Beautiful airplane. Had he not needed assistance getting his brand new Tower .46 started...he would have tried to fly it, and since we were at an "public" field, we didn't question someone with a plane like that. While helping him get the engine tuned, we found out he had never flown before, and didn't have a clue that he couldn't just do it. He was very nice but also determined, so we offered to let him fly Sassy's trainer type plane first. After 30 minutes of flying her plane, he was doing nice ovals of the field with it. We then took his plane up and let him try it. He did real well, but also learned real quick that he couldn't have EVER succeeded on his own...or even with help with that much airplane. To make a long story short, we made a new friend, saved a beautiful plane from destruction, and we have a new pilot who possibly won't get discouraged and quit after destroying a winter's worth of work.
