Guys the Cessna is not that bad of a plane for a second bird. If you have been flying the trainer for a season now you can fly the Cessna.
A: It is still a high wing aircraft
B: It still is a tricycle gear airframe
C: You dont have to fly it a mach 3 to keep it in the air
If you fly the H9 Cessna if will float "a bit" but that is why you will need to learn how to use the flaps. This is a natural progression from 1 aircraft to another. Dont let the other guys scare you away. If you do crash (we all have done it) just pick up the peices and do another.
TSHARK203,
We aren't trying to scare anybody. I'm a self taught expert rc pilot with 20 years experience,ZERO crashes. I have never seen, nor spoken to an rc instructor.
suavehouse504 has an ATP certificate and he is no stranger to physics, but is new to rc. Telling himit's okto crash a $2,500 plane andjust go buy another one is simply NOT cool. I have always believed a person could learn rc without crashing and I'm a clear example of it.
Yes, it's a high wing, has tri-gear and doesn't have to fly mach 3 to stay afloat. It goes much farther than that such as, size to weight ratio, rate of decent, rc experience and on and on.
He made the right choice by choosing the Pulse, at least he'll go home with a plane in 1 piece.
