Ken is dead on about it being a good flying plane. Just one word of warning, You have noticed how it comes in nice and slow for landings. It will stall, and with little warning. and that is how I lost my second. Too slow on the down wind in a good breeze, Made my turn to final to soon and when I turned back, it dropped like a rock. Just remember to keep some speed up until you are over the runway. If the plane starts to rock side to side on landing, a few clicks more throttle would be a good idea at that point
Yeah, I know it's a really popular second plane, which is why I got it. I had wanted a PulseXT 60, but they've been on backorder since September and every month Horizon pushes the arrival date out another month.
One of the things I'm reasonably good at is recognizing the onset of a stall. I've made it a point to do a lot of slow flight both on my trainer and on the sim. I've got about 400 hours in full scale, and it's amazing how the responses are fairly similar......"Darn...why is this thing so sluggish.....ooops.....better get the nose down."
