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

Practice two crashes high! Don't care what your flying. Learn by doing, but try it out at a height that you can recover.

You stalled and was just one crash high. Next airplane learn how to recover from stalls, stall turns, inverted flight - I fly a 'mud duck' with lots of dihederal and no ailerons inverted. took a lot of tries befor I learned how to do it without ailerons TWO CRASHES HIGH.

Got the picture, you can almost do any aerobactics - a duraplane can fly inverted, but with a hight rate of climb towards the ground - as long as you give yourself anough air space.

Been there and done that, always recoverd with enough height. I even practice landing slow with a new bird two crashed high with recover from any suprises, and until you learn how there is aways a suprise!

Good Luck. Bill Drummond, Salem, Oregon. "Na, it doesn't rain all the time, just every day."
