Hi All,
Looking for some general advice as I seem to be stuck trying to get past a certain stage at the moment.
Have been learning / flying (more recently) since Xmas, my 1st experience as you see so many times was a Hobbyzone Aerobird Swift (too advanced) which lasted me all of 5 seconds with absolutely no previous experience. I then moved to FMS and Hobbyzone Super Cub. With hours on the FMS quickly got bored of the Super Cub, rebuilt the Swift and had quite a few successful flights with varying amounts of damage, the final flight I launched with something "not right" to begin with and totalled it as I fought just to try and bring it down. I moved onto again more advanced which lasted no time one of which being a Brushless Art-Tech Mustang which again I destroyed. On advice I took a step back to get more stick time and bought a Multiplex MiniMag as a more docile plane I also learnt to fly approx 3 times the height I was before buying me invaluable error time.
I've now flown and flown the MiniMag to the extent I feel as though I'm throwing it around in the air, have smoothed out rolls, and although a little unstable can fly it inverted and thought it might be time to return to the (rebuilt for the 3rd time) Mustang. First flight was beautiful and I seemed to be copeing with the much more responsive and faster plane at 55/60 % throttle, really smoothing out the turns and just flying simply and safely to get used to it. The second flight the 1st 4 minutes was the same as before and then the turn that lost me and it all happens so quickly again when you thought you'd got past that stage as it heads for the ground at an amasing rate and you're just flayling with the controls which makes it worse.
Anybody any idea's how long should you be flying for before moving up and how to progress past this stage, are there other planes in between that may be more responsive than the MiniMag but a bit more forgiving than the Mustang and maybe a half way house or anything I can do with this one to make it more like the Mustang so it's not so extreme to move from one to the other ?????
Any help / advice greatly appreciated !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
