Default RE: Practice Plane??

Do what you feel comfortable doing, it’s not fun until you become proficient, and becoming proficient can take a long time if you don’t get to practice often. If you can only practice glo once a month then hell yeah you’re going to be uncomfortable doing it.

The sim is great, but if there is nobody coaching you while you’re on it you might not learn as fast as real life with an instructor until you learn the fundamentals.

As far as an electric goes, it might help and it might not. The biggest factor in that equation is you not the plane, and certainly not this forum (sorry guys). Personally I’d say stick with the glo, that Calmato will cost you $99 max to replace, how much is the electric? Well if you hit a car on I-5 maybe a little more $$.

I think you should fly the plane that you have whenever you can, and soon you’ll be moving the CG back and cranking up the rates.

P.S. I know I’m a heli sell out, but I just happened to be in the neighborhood…
