David,
Let's watch and see what the weather's suppose to be like this Sunday.
If it's a good day I'm planning on going to the field. I just started helping my brother, so he'll likely be there too.
I'm willing to bet that if he has his new trainer with him, he'd be happy to let you take the controls for awhile. That way you can judge for yourself about learning on your Tiger II or a trainer.
By the way, I took him to the field a week or so ago and buddy boxed him with my 4* 40, and he did really well. I suggested that he might want to take his trainer back to John (at Hog Heaven) and get a second plane to start with, but he decided to keep the trainer so he can teach his girlfriend later.
Hopefully Sunday will be good.
Dennis-
