RE: To Newbies
Fastinated, experience is not something you get in a matter of hours. That's called "Stick Time".
Sounds like you have a lot of Stick Time.
A few years from now, you'll have some "Experience"
An analogy I often use is the driver who says "I've been driving for over 30 years and never had an accident" - Yea, so? Has he ever been in an accident situation and managed to avoid it, or has he just never been in an accident situation? Has he ever done some bone-headed thing that caused someone ELSE to have an accident?
It sounds to me like you are ready for an advanced trainer, like a Stik, to practice some of your new tricks on, but anyone going from a trainer to a Sukhoi is just asking for a crash on maiden.
