No, I'm gonna have to disagree with that whole line of thinking....if the guy has a radio. serovs, and a .40-.46 engine all he needs is another $70 trainer....you want him to get a whole new plane/battery/charger, set up thats gonna run into $ thousands by the time he's done, and then gonna have to buy a trailer to put it in!!!!And a slow stick is not twitchy ....its slow....I personally got back into it with a pico stick, yeah its light, and yeah you gotta get some batts but if you shop around nowadays that stuff is pretty cheap....Rog
You know, sometimes it is not about spending $70 or $7.000. The price of frustration when we grew older and less patient is much higher.
I´ve flown once a slowstick and yes, it was slow but it was more like battling the wind and turbulence with something that resembles more a butterfly than a real airplane.. harder to fly than a jet in the same wind!
