Hi Rich,

I fairly new so.... But what I've read your choice seems a good one!
I'm sure others will pipe-in.. I started with the LA 46/Avistar in late
Feb. And I have been happy with my choice.. I was looking at the
setup that you mention, But I thought I would catch on quickly so I
went with the setup I memtioned. Although I really wanted to start
with a low wing trainer i.e. 4*40or60.. But my trainer said if I brought
a low wing to the field, I may as well find another trainer.. But now
I think he felt alittle sorry for making that statement, As he has said
I was the fastest to solo since this club has opened(1987).. Anyway
he has given me a 40 Dazzler, which I am now flying.. And the
Avistar stays at home pretty much.. But I have used it to cord with
my Grandchild when they come up to visit..

Sim's are great, But will NEVER beat a Club Trainer!! And AMA!!!
