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....
C'mon up Mark. It's actually only about an 8 hr drive.

We can play tag with the Ultimates. Monday we'll have three identical color schemes up at the same time, only one of them is a 33%er.

Gary & I don't dare take our eyes of our little ones though or we'd be flying the wrong plane.[&:]
I really expected a lot more fire for this opinion, but ya just never know.
