RE: Why learn with a FLOATER
Thanks for the positive replies from the above that took their time to help me take another stride in getting to be a good pilot. Special thanks to MinnFlyer that always has a polished way of getting understood. BuBBa and BigNed your input make a TON of sense without talking DOWN to people. .. The point that SPACECLAM came up with probable said it best, that. a 4* with a buddy-box and the throws set down to moderate SEEMS TO ME a "go where you point it and land it" kind of plane. For heaven sake I was not suggesting I could actual FLY a Cap or Edge as a GREEN, Newbee, but after getting some stick time (ONLY with the help of guys like you) I do believe that I would be better suited to take it to next level (s) without having to keep changing planes and only a few "YOU GOT-IT..YOU-GOT-IT ? thrown in. You would need to keep the set-up simple , the CG more forward and so on as you've all said but it just comes down to the individual your teaching. I have taught guitar to many students and the worst thing for a begginer to do is to have them start out on a TOY guitar that is just too HARD to play. Letting them learn on one of my instruments and seeing the resulting smiles from making music rather than noise, is the example I was going for in this post. The next level of ARF Trainers seem to excellant and hopefully the "E" Power crowd will expand into the Nitro crowd and we could all benefit from their numbers in helping us keep our fields!
Lastly, I have been using RCU for a couple of years and I have to acknowledge all those that share information ( MinnFlyer your build posts and pictures are great!) in a supportive and sincere tone. To everyone that has answered a Newbee question, added their insight or tips on a better way to do somthing, or just give helpful reference information, I thank you.
Criticism seperates teachers from being heard!
