Default Sorta both....

I learned to fly "hot potato", in '88, then left the hobby in 95. Got back into it with a vengeance in '99, all big stuff, or very hairy scary small stuff. Have taught quite a few, strong believer in the buddy box.

Got the G2 to try choppers, getting a pretty good grasp of it, would definitely recommend it.

My 10 year old daughter is now on the G2, and we have her trainer ready for spring! She has come a long way on the sim.

It also is a great way to get out of the habit of "thumbs only", if you learned "dumb thumbs", and want to try a little finesse, with finger/thumb, and don't want to risk a plane...we can't all be Chip Hyde!!

Here's Heather after her first landing on the LiteStik - her second flight ever! Spring she gets on the Loadstar .40!
