I am 16 and just got my first glow plane this weekend. I am waiting for my AMA card to come and to finish collecting the glow necessities and I will fly by this weekend. but anyway, I was told a 17 year old from my field who started on a few years back started after just 6 months of G2 (or weeks I don't remember exactly) and the trainer cord for him was so unnecissary that it was funny and the trainer switch was never flipped. Back to my point, I have been using G2 for about 3 years now, do you think things will be the same for me? I will find out this weekend wish me luck!!!
