Default RE: A Trainer Not to be Overlooked!!

I agree that CG makes durable products. My buddy picked up a CG Heritage Series Skylane 62 as his second plane (first being a Hangar 9 P-51 Mustang PTS, that he recently soloed). His instructor took him up on the buddy box for it's maiden. Very quick and responsive with an Evolution .46 engine swinging an 11x7 prop. It had a beautiful maiden until the landing. He had been having some issues with the nose gear on the grass airfield, and on landing, the airplane landed beautifully, but nosed over and flipped the plane on it's lid. The result, no damage done. Here's the pic:


Happy flying.
