Default My Extra 300S....

I don't like to hear that people are "bored" with their trainer. It flies too slow and won't do anything. I firmly believe that EVERYBODY should go back and fly their trainer every couple of months. After flying an Extra 300 or my Ultimate Bipe it really is fun to go back an fly the trainer that can fly so dang slow. Plus, a trainer can be a really good way to touch up on some skills that may need a little practice. You are moving slow enough to see the results of different stick movements, and a dumb thumb usually won't wind up in a pile of balsa kindling.

I'm know what I'm talking about because I'm pretty much the instructor at our field, so I get a lot of time on the sticks with a trainer. there are many times that after the students last flight of the day, I'll go back up for some air time of my own.

What I'm trying to say is that it's great to move up to faster better planes, but the don't ever knock the good ole trainer. Know matter how advanced you are, you can still learn something from it.
