Default RE: A Word To The Wise For Beginners

Good advice, "Minn"! In addition to learning to "bail out", a pilot needs to learn to ABORT! This has saved my Dr.1 countless times when a takeoff roll was disrupted by a bump that yawed the plane on rollout. Also when it got too slow on final and stared to yaw and just hang there. Don't force a maneuver.

Another good example is "I'm going to do 5 loops." At the top of the second loop, the plane slows too much and snaps out. Now what?

"age" is right, it takes practice. 3 mistakes high is minimal altitude at first.
