On a different subject relating back to choosing an aircraft. The Hangar 9 Twist was another option I was looking at. From what I understand, it can be very tame if dialed down properly. I will be on my 2 1/2 aircraft. Long story made short is I had a stick about 6 years ago that went in when I thought I was over the field(turns out I was still far back and over the bushes and it dissappeared when I went below the tree line on an approach(darn depth perception)). Then I bought another aircraft(Seagull Boomerang) about a year ago and have been flying and repairing that ever since(landing gear issues and a few flights in fields where it was rougher than my plane could handle) I'm still on that plane but I'm ready to move on. The Boomerang is semi-symmetrical and so was the stick I had before which had very little dyhedral. No I'm not a genius flyer but I can hold my own and have done the simming thing on the computer from G3.5 to other forms(I'm also a Microsoft Flight Sim fanatic so I'm pretty coordinated in terms of flying whether it be a joystick or a remote control).

Anyways, some people have moved from a trainer to a twist without issue and even though I have a high wing trainer I can't see why I would run into much trouble. Plus I have a gentleman who's been flying for about 10 or 20 plus years and has everything from gasser yak's to a whole lot more and I'm sure he wouldn't mind maidening her plus giving me a hand(maybe on a buddy box). Plus, one other guy told me he will get me to try his easy sport 40 at some point. I don't plan on flying for at least a month or more on it which means I'll have plenty of time to try out the sport and get some more flying in first.

What are your thoughts on it.
