Default RE: Mastering a Trainer?


ORIGINAL: jetmech05

As I said in this post before......if you can fly an LT-40 inverted for the whole pattern...then you can fly anything inverted......once you can do it for a lap around the pattern...you can do it for a whole tank...but why unless you just want to......IMHO you have demo'ed mastery of inverted flight with a trainer, in a lap around the pattern......low level high speed inverted passes is above mastery.

the only time I ever saw someone have to unlearn something in RC was a student of mine who was a sail plane pilot...he had to unlearn what control surface to go to first and to add throttle........I've seen alot of folks have to modify what they knew...but not unlearn it.

this has been an outstanding post...as it has caused many of us to stop and think....I wonder how many trainers will get dusted off this week end for a go in the pattern
My trainer won't sit long enough to collect dust.
