Hay guys,
I have asked the same question about the first tail dragger in another post. I asked because I have a J-3 cup, 80", and I want to fly it but in the other post evryone said "NO" to flying it as the first tail dragger. No one really said why not, just to get another plane. Can anyone explaine why the J-3 is a bad first tail dragger or give me some idea of what to watch out for.
I sholud say that I do not fly with a club, but i do fly with several other friends and when I got my first tranier they all showed me what, how, and why to do the things I needed to do to fly. Then everyone of them stayed with me, for support, when I took it up for the first time. I have about 5 gallons of fuel thru it now and never crashed. I am wondering if the reason I have been able to fly the trainer so well is because I never had anyone tell me I can't. And of course they are trying to talk me into flying the cub now, but I am worried because of so many people here saying don't do it.
