Default RE: Why oh why must we learn the hard way?

I guess I should clarify a bit on what the PT can and can't do (more specifically, what I can and can't do with the PT). Loops are no problem. Rolls are no problem (they can't be called snap rolls). Controlling the stall after a vertical climb is no problem. All in all the plane is a good flier with extremely docile characteristics. Inverted flight is also no problem, IF you have enough height to pull out of it. There is simply no way I can figure out that allows for coming out of the inverted flight without the nose diving immediately and 20 + feet of altitude lost. This is why I (and others) feel the PT has served its purpose and I'm ready to move on.

Based on the comments here, I still feel very ready to move on. I think the Aerobat is probably a great next step. The Fantasy was... well... just too darn much plane for me at this time. There will come a time, though, when I'll be ready for a low wing. Just not today.

Besides, that BTE Venture sure looks like a nice one eh?
