Default RE: Perfect second plane


ORIGINAL: QF306

Hi
I was wondering if I could use all your experience and knowledge to advise me on something.
I have tought myself to fly with the Eflite Apprentice and Realflight G4 and I'm going to go to the local club for the social side of things anyway.
I was wondering if the Eflite T34 Mentor ePTS would be a perfect second plane? I've read that it is not really a starter plane but is it a good second plane?
Thanks in advance

We have a young man, 10 years old, who learned to fly on real flight and who has as a first plane the T-28, because thats what he wanted. He cannot reliably fly a 40 size glow trainer however. I've flown both the T-28 and T-34 and I'd say get the T-34 Mentor. It flies very well and will allow you to progress as your skill increases.
