OMG you guys. All I heard was "You suck like everybody else on the planet. Get a trainer loser." or a smart ars answer of getting a really advanced plane like a jet. He already said he could fly a heli. I know it's not the same as a plane but he sure the heck isn't completely lost either. I personally learned how to fly with a friend's Sporter 20 without a buddy box and never crashed it until after I learned to fly good and started screwing around.

1. He's flown helicopers
2. He's flown cheap electic planes

Given those 2 I'd say a trainer isn't required. Although I'd still suggest somebody that knows how to fly to help you. Somebody helping you will be tons more important than a trainer. I read his 2 posts several times and didn't see anything wrong with his attitude.

Oh and the intentional wrong advice in a beginners forum is really bad and very poor taste. i.e. another beginner doesn't get your smart ars joke and thinks your serious and goes out and buys a really expensive plane on the good advice he got here from the experts here and loses $1000 in 10 seconds. Good job guys.
