Default What a blast this weekend!

This weekend has probably been the most enjoyable flying weekend for me yet.. having come so far in such a short time, this weekend was me pushing it to the limits..

i tell you what, having flown no other plane im going to go out on a limb here and say Nextstar is a badass trainer..

I tuned the engine out on the lean side.. put in higher nitro fuel, removed the baffle from the muffler..


I had this bad boy ripping it up... Hovering for limited ammounts of time, inverted.. high speed dives and wicked hard banked turns and loops..

my instructor was hanging out.. not that hes done any instructing since well.. day one when i soloed on the buddy box =o and had him dumbfounded..
and he was like you should really try a 4 point roll and so i tried... but the self correcting of the nextstar wouldnt let it =(...


i guess alot of things im going to be unable to do untill i can jump into a more aerobatic plane.



While having a love for the looks of a p51 mustang. im heavily considering an Ultra stick or a extra 300 now just for their pure aerobatic ability which will push my flying skills further and harder alot faster then the p51 mustang trainer.



Anyways... Anyone got any neat things to share about what they have done with a trainer?.. hovering? anything crazy and so forth?
