Hello,
I've been flying an LT-40 for about two months, and I would like to begin building a second plane during the winter.
However, I am lost as to what a good second plane would be. My boyfriend is pushing me toward the SIG Somethin' Extra, however I was wondering if there were any other planes that would also offer a step-up from a trainer plane.
BIY is probably the way that I will go, mainly because I will have a few months during the winter to work on the project.
Any suggestions would be a great help!
Thanks.
Hi,
You won't go far wrong with a Sig Somethin' Extra, as it is very forgiving and has no bad habits.
However, if you don't want to screw it into the ground on your first turn, PLEASE don't use the full throws on the ailerons when you first fly! Something as low at 30% dual rate is quite sufficient for the first few flights!
Flies great, gets you from a trainer to aerobatics gently and a real pleasure to build.
