After building the Hobbico Trainer I hooked up with a good instructor. Have made about 6-8 total flights with about the last 4 letting me
do the take offs and landings. About the second flight r. landing gear fell off. fixed it and was back up in minutes (luckily it fell off on the
ground taxiing and not in the air) My BIG problem with this plane is that it just will not take-off in a straight line....you always have to
add a considerable amount of rudder.....and for a newbie like me its easy to OVER CORRECT and either take a nose dive or like today
ran into a fence just about the time it was ready to take off. Prop is inialated and small tear in the wing....easily fixed. Lucky it wasn't
any more. My Instructor hates the plane.....says everyone he has trained on has had problems like this.......really frustrated right now,
because I feel like once in the air I am ok.....and landing is still takes alot of concentration, but I enjoy the landings....its just GETTING
UP IN THE AIR IS UGLY !!!!!!! Almost ready to scrap it and go to something else. You would think any one could give a plane throttle and
lift the elevators and just take off.....WHAT COULD BE SO HARD ABOUT THAT....but not with this thing !!!!!!

I flew a SIG 40 trainer borrowed from my cousin....and although I only had one take off with it......it was a great take off. I know I am
not anywhere near being a good pilot yet.....but this thing makes me look even worse !!!!!!

SORRY......BUT JUST HAD TO VENT A LITTLE .
