AW 540T for first 3D plane?
My soon to be 13 year old son thinks he wants to start flying 3D. He has been flying for about a year, started with a Nexstar, now has a Tiger 60, has flown my Pulse 40 (liked it) and my Venus 40 (learning to like it) and catches on pretty quick. We have been looking at the Aero-Works 540T, and liked what he saw in the video. I think he can handle it, but will need to practice, practice, and more practice. So, I was going to install a Saito 82, but I just finished reading the long (492 posts) thread on this plane, and it seems that the 82 might be to small. But, I was wondering if I should just go ahead and install the 82 until he gets better at 3D flying, or just put a Saito 100, or OS 91 2s right out of the gate. He is at that age were I don't think he "really knows" what he wants. He likes doing nice, crisp maneuvers, or sport flying, but I am not so sure he will have the patience to learn how to hover, or any hard to do maneuvers. I can't teach him, I don't know how, 3D is not my thing. Do you guys have any recommendations? Thanks
