Default RE: From Trainer to Stik

TZflyer,take those trainers........out to the garage......leave them there......and take you stick to the field. I can tell you right now,at your skill level,if you were to fly your trainer 20 flights,then fly your stick 20 flights,you'll have many more crashes flying your trainer.

Heres a short story,lol.....A couple weeks ago,I decided to go buy a bunch of servos and a receiver and put my PT-40 trainer back in the air just because I hadnt flown in for a couple months and I wanted to see how easy it was to fly since I've gotten used to flying my other planes quite well. Figured it would just be a fun,easy,relaxing time.....heck,anyone can fly a dumb trainer right? I will say it was slightly breezy that day,but not bad at all. The first flight I BARELY landed it going diagnal accross the runway. The second flight I cartwheeled it about 4 times accross the ground flipping it right over my instructors bench in the pits! Thank god he wasnt there that day,or I'd of taken out every plane he'd brought that day!


.....my trainer sits in the corner of my garage since after ripping our all its electronics for another plane,lol.

....and I havent crashed another plane since! Well,except for a couple bumps and bruises on my new mustang,but it has issues,lol.
