Ok another Stupid ? to go along with the other ones I have asked! When Flying with a trainer usually how many Hrs do you fly until you can go to another plane such as a mid or low wing! Or is it just when ever you get comfortable and feel safe flying with out the buddy box or your trainer!
It differs from person to person. You got to ask yourself - have I got the basics down. First you need to solo and get a lot of flights under your belt before going over to a second plane. I went from my Ultra Stick (I used this as my trainer) to my Edge in about 3 months and around 20 flights in total under my belt. Other's will be able to progress quicker and other's slower. First get confident with your trainer and do a lot of things with it. Practise practise and practise.

You will know when you are ready.
