RE: Pilatus PC9
Hi
I test flew a pc 9 for somone can't remember now witch, some artf one i think a .53 engine, i trimmed it out and it seemed ok. Gave it to the owner to fly who had reasonable flying ability, didn't really think there was any need for a buddy box, He didn't fly it for long before he crashed it clearly through pilot error.
I guess it was just to fast/ manouverable for him to cope with.
I suggest you really become competent with a trainer and a suitable second plane, before attempting to fly such a plane.
I think in general people try to move on to quickly, i still enjoy throwing a trainer around even though i can fly most types of planes.
