Afraid or not... I'd feel far safer if the newbie learned to put the nose down, than
I would if he had an engine 1 1/2 sizes too big. If they don't learn early, they never learn.
You see it all the time, here in this very forum...
"...until I crashed it due to engine failure", or "but the engine died, so I crashed", etc...
I know there are extenuating circumstances sometimes, but gimme a break
Some guys think "it went dead" or "I got hit" are the only reasons they've ever crashed.
(Just playing the "other side" here.. I have an overpowered Magic, at home, and it's way fun...
but I do know how to fly "on the wing", on those occasions when I have to.)
