I am not putting down the slo-v. I live in a rural area with no clubs near us. My friend and I are trying to learn with our own experience our only teacher. The slo-v not standing up to our abuse is our experience. The challenger looks like it has been in a war (hence the Iraq reference), but still flies.

I have parked the slo-v for now until MY SKILLS improve. It is a nice plane, but landings that are easily tolerated by the challenger, break the slo-v.

Sorry you were offended by comments.
