Brett,
Sorry to hear that you retired you trainer. Does that sound like an odd statement?? It's not. Heck, I've been flying for 12 years and I still have my trainer in flying condition. It's a total blast to take your plane to the field every so often, even after you've advanced to other planes. It's fun to put a trainer through the paces and do advanced aerobatics with it. I remember when I was learning to fly I thought that the trainer flew so fast, now when I fly my trainer I wonder how a plane flying so slow can actually stay in the air!!!!!
