Grump...consider yourself flamed!!

I think most any plane COULD be a second plane for any given flyer. I have seen kids solo in a few lessons .....and doing rolling harriers a few months later, GRRRRRR!!!

The key is knowing what the plane will do at all times and staying ahead of it.....I'm still behind mine....and I still get 'surprised' by some things I do. I do think a 3D foamy is better practice than any sim.

Grump....I'm sorry you missed the Chula Vista event.....c'mon man!!...it's only a 12 hr drive....
