just don't do a high speed dive and roll the avistar with a
.46ax.lol

you can convert a tri trainner to a tail dragger
tail dragger are easy, pratice without the wing for slow ground
control. it's actually easier to cntrol when the tail lifts. for me anywho.

with an instructor a 4 star would be a breeze.

a better tool would be the Duraplane. it lives up to it's name.
it won't break your piggy bank
i crashed that thing at leat 20+ times.
one and only time... i killed the engine before i killed the plane.lol
it got me over the learnding curve of learning how to land.
i got sick an tired of waiting for a 5 min flight on sundays.
i learnd how the land on my own within a couple of weeks
it's strudy, ugly and a brick but it'll also teach you how to come in hot
to get ready for the mustang.

you have to push yourself to progress.
there's peaple at my club with over six months that don't
know how to land,do simple trun procedures, fly in a straight
line over the landing strip, good lord...even keeping the plane in
front of you. You will be dependent of an instructor until you
learn how to land the aircraft.
With the duraplane i wasn't skeered or worried.
simple...the more stick time , the better you will get.
you have to set goals and not just fly it around in a circle.lol
i pratice when nobody is around for safty reasons... of course.
safty first !!!!
don't get ahead of yourself but make progress.

a key to helping me control my plane better when i first started.
trun the stick in the same direction that the wing is dipping
to level the plane when it's coming to you.
this help kept the brain farts down.
