Default RE: Second plane--skip one?

You know the beauty of the stick is that it's simple. When you get into a U-Can-Do then simple starts to go away.
This is little stuff you don't think about, but it's there none the less. If the motor is running weird, you have to pull the prop, pull the cowl, etc etc etc. WHen it's all out in the open, it is a ton easier to deal with. Guys that have been doing this for awhile are probably saying, cowl? whats the big deal? But it is when you are starting and unsure how to proceed. Just something to think about, it's not all about flying.

After having gone the U-Can-Do route, (still have it, its for sale cheap and in nice condition) I then went to a warbird. It's going to be great, but now just a little more complex, my next bird will be a stick...why? Cause it's simple, hassle free, and I won't sweat flying it if the weather is a little off, or the wind is up.

It is tempting to want to branch into bigger flashy things, but unless you have a deep wallet, it's a pointless endevour.

I am all about just having fun and relaxing to fly.
