Default RE: Do we still need trainer aircraft??
ORIGINAL: STLPilot

I'll be the first to admit that I learned to fly on G2 and never used a buddy box. I spent 3 weeks on it. Bought a trainer, went flying with no probs at all.

well glad to see I am not the only one that did that LOL Iw as in the same boat I mastered the sim trainer before taking mine out I checked the CG and took a crack at it and have never looked back in the 2 years since I have moved onto a few sports planes and at the end of the saeson I took up my fisrt 60 size plane a STAUDACHER with a OS 91 and had no problems other then picking the wrong Prop for it (to big) I have yet to have a pilot error crash to date *knock on balsa*

I have seen ppl get trained at our feild and pass there Wings test but I really think they tend to take it a bit too slow for some students from time to time if you dont learn to correct you cant be a good pilot
