RE: crashed my avistar
I fully agree with getting some "buddy box time" on the second plane!! The takeoff speed and super quick response times of a 2nd type plane compared to a trainer will probably take you by surprize! If you start to panic because of this, then the plane is probably headed for a crash! Even a few minutes of help will make a big difference and may be all you need to carry on yourself! Fast low wing sport planes need to have your fingers moving faster than your brain. In other words you had better not have to be thinking about how to move the sticks or it could be too late!.[>:
