If he's flown high-wing planes for 3 years, I don't think that he's inexperienced. I agree that a Pulse is awesome to fly, since I too have one. If he really has 3 years flying time, then he's ready for it. I had been flying for less than 6 months when I flew my first warbird. And it was a heavy, high wing-loading fire-breathing warbird that forgave no errors. I don't know how well he flies, but I wasn't commenting on if he should. I just gave him some keys to success.

That being said, I agree with you in the fullest. It's much harder to watch a warbird go in than most other birds. Obviously, watching a 52% Edge go in is more painful than watching a Parkzone Spitfire go in...but that's apples to oranges. If that's his second plane, I'm extremely against him flying a scale warbird. Warbirds are the easiest planes to crash, but the hardest to fly.

A little more insight on your flying skills would be helpful so that we can better advise you.
