Default RE: moving onto next plane here soon....

Greetings from South Carolina ThisDayWakes:

To answer your question what type of Warbird are you interested in?

Is it a High Wing, Mid Wing, Low Wing, tricycle, tail dragger?

Each type from a High Wing, Mid Wing, Low Wing have different flying characteristics.

Flat bottom airfoils & dihedral have some degree of forgiveness built into them.

So depending on the type of flying or the look of the aircraft that we are interested in we have to learn what flying characteristics each of these have and practice until we build our flying skills to handle that type of aircraft.

As we move away from High Wing trainers and flat bottom airfoils with less dihedral built into them we have to learn how to deal with faster landing speeds so as to not find the stall speed while trying to land. For this we learn the stall characteristics at a higher altitudes then we know about what to expect when this does happen.

What type of aircraft interest you for your 2nd airplane?

I hope this helps,

Tom
