Default RE: Third Plane

Shorty,
ask your instructor if he would care to provide a test plane to see if skipping the second plane
was a good idea. If he is that confident in you skills he will have no problem lending you an
advanced type plane.

I would take the avice being offered. I wish i would have. I too was a fast learner. I soloed
on my second day. I moved to a low wing trainer within a month, My third plane was a custom
built Tiger 60 and now I have 2 2meter pattern planes. at my last contest I was very nervous and
got disoriented with my ailerons during landing approach and almost planted my high dollar
pattern plane. Moving too fast makes you skip vital lessons. I almost learned the hard way.
I was at the field the next weekend with the trainer shooting touch and goes so I could regain my
confidence after my near fatal (to my wallet) mistake.
