RE: What a RUSH! - T2 first maiden
Ya know, the funny thing is that I felt more comfortable on the T2 maiden than I did on any of the 3 prior flights on the Avistar. To me, it always feels like I'm responding to the Avistar, where as I feelt more like the T2 was responding to my commands. It just seemed to be a lot more responsive and had more direct control than the trainer does. I was *really* impressed by the fact that it started rolling when I did, and stopped the instant I stopped. Stall turns are a lot more fun and the down-lines are really straight. It leads to a lot more confidence when the plane listens to what it's told. (Kind of like kids and parenting[sm=rolleyes.gif]) Barring my own stupidity and over-confidence, I'm sure I'll enjoy this one for some time.
