Here is a question to ponder. In this country we have been taught that you must learn to fly on a high wing trainer, both in r/c and full scale flying. As the fact that the Cessna 150/172 is one of the most popular planes in the U.S. to learn in.

I have actually been receiving flight instruction in a Piper Cherokee. This departs from the norm but if you look at England for example a lot of private flight instruction is done with low wing aircraft such as the Piper Cherokee or Arrow. I have a couple old timers in r/c that swear by the teaching of flight with a 4 channel, low wing airplane. I see some logic to this and have jumped from both sides of the fence.

I defenatly believe in 4 channel control as you learn from the beginning to control all functions of your plane. I also think there are a few lowing r/c planes that would make excellent trainers and give the student a potential step ahead in the plane inventory.

That is just my thoughts, the greatest thing in the forums here is that we all can voice our opinions and share.

Thanks everybody.
