Default DC-3 for a beginner?

DC-3 or any conventional twin for a primary trainer is a Recipe for disaster. Start your climb at the bottom rung and you will survive to love this lifetime sport/hobby.

A twin will be a number of rungs and airplanes up that latter. Don,t dispair however you can realize the dream. Do keep it alive as you develop with your proper trainer and check in at the multi engine forum on this board.

By the way an overweight scale DC-3 is not even a starter for multi. Best to start with something like the Twin Air and there are simple ways even to convert one of your old single engine trainers to a good flying multi. Take a close look at my Avitar, that is a Kaydet Senior 'trainer'.

Welcome to the board.
