Default RE: Extra 300 as a second plane


ORIGINAL: plugin

I don't mean to brag but everyone at my field insists that I should go directly to an extra instead of stepping through an intermediate second plane. They even say that they feel discouraged by my flying because I've been doing it for 3 months and they feel I fly much better than some that have 3+ years of experience. The field owner who happens to be the LHS owner constantly displays me to encourage people to buy a NexStar. I do feel really comfortable and can do pretty much any maneuver that my NexStar will allow. I can Roll, Loop, Spin, Trying to flat spin (but dont think the airplane will allow), Stall Turn, Cuban 8, 3ft inverted low flybys, full speed touch and gos, and have attempted one successful inverted landing. I'm on a tight budget so I really want to know if I should still go through a Pulse XT which I plan to be my second plane or if I can jump directly to an extra. I'm thinking the phoenix models one, or the great planes.


I guess your going to have to make the decision. Personally, I feel like it's fool hardy to rush the point on something like this that costs hundreds of dollars(wich I sure as blazes don't have maybe you do).
