I have a friend named Joe who wanted to get into the hobby. After telling him to buy a
traditional arf trainer, he bought a H9 Raptor off of flea-bay. I told Joe that I would
teach him to fly it. I've never been an instructor, so it would be learning experience
for both of us. After a thorough pre-flight, I took it up for a test hop. I must say that
the Raptor was probably the worst plane I've ever flown. I wisely turned Joe over to
our club's regular instructor, he hated the plane too, and Joe struggled to learn.
When Joe got himself a Hobbico Superstar he improved right away, and is now flying
a Kadet Senior and loving it, his Raptor is now gathering dust.
The H9 Raptor is definately an instructors' and rookie pilots' nightmare.
