hey there!
I'm new to this site & new to the hobby. A little background- I live way out in the boonies, nuttin but farm fields, nearest neighbor 'bout a mile away... got my own little strip. The nearest club field is about an hour and a half 's drive. I decided that , in my situation anyway, to learn on my own would be the way to go. Down loaded FMS & built a sturdy birdy II with a 46 in it. The last three weeks here have been very calm & I've logged 50 flights now with nothing more serious than a couple hard landings early on. I'm VERY confident with this bird- loops, rolls, inverted... can't seem to knife edge... too much diheadral I think... had 7 flame outs and always landed back on the field. Now, the big question- am I ready for the spitfire that I just switched everything over to? does it sound like I'm moving too fast? I really think I have a knack for this... this plane is very similar to my trainer, in fact- it weighs LESS & has more wing area & still a good ammount of diheadral. So watta yous guys think? Any tips? Anyboby fly this bird? Is it as gentle as they advertise it to be? Tip stalls a problem? My trainer was 6 lbs with 500 sq so I always had to land a little hot. I think I'm ready....
