Default RE: Which plane?

<span style="color: #000080"><u>I</u> flew a Cessna 182 Skylanefrom Great Planes as my second plane. It was much fasterand more agile than my trainer, but still a high wing. I then bought a Great Plane Escapade, and have been flying the wings off of it for some time (I also flew the CMPro Extra, and it tended to drop a wing at even moderate speeds. It just wasn't a fun plane to fly at all. I dead stick landed it, and ripped the gear off, and decided to not rebuild). Inow just got finished with an Aeroworks Edge 540t, and hope to maiden it soon. Iwould listen to the folkson here about the step upon planes. I too could fly every plane on the sim,and really well I might add, but it is NOTHING likethe real deal when it is an aerobatic model. Iwould highly suggest the Escapade as your second plane. It is a low wing taildragger, and is capable of alot of aerobatics also. It does have a little dihedral in the wings, so knife edge isn't the easiest, but can be done.<span style="color: #000080">It is a really great plane (no pun intended).</span> </span>
