When I refer to experience on a plane (your 1st or 2nd plane) I'm not talking about a few flights, but rather months of flying. You should be able to measure your flights in gallons of fuel through the plane before you move up.
Couldn't Agree more!!!!!!!!1
As a matter of fact A lot of posts here paint an over optimistic picture of the skills and time its takes to aquire them In my humble opinion
BTW when picking the plane try to pick one that best suits you current skills that will also advance with you. In other words the uproar great price won't seem that great if you crash it in 30 seconds
