On a BB the instructor is going to get it off the ground for you. He will have the master TX and ask you if you are ready, you will say yse and he will say, OK, you got it. At that point he will flip his trainer switch and you will be flying the plane. As soon as you get in trouble {I let my students try to get untroubled} he will let the switch go and say, OK, I have it. A real trainer is my first choice, not the HOG. Most instructors have there own trainer so you shouldn't have to buy a plane, just buy your own fuel. After the solo it's up to you to get your own plane. I let my students use my trainer until they get one. There is a learning curve to flying, trainer, low wing trainer then something with even more pep. It all depends on the student. I trained the 12 year old boy and a 60 year old man at the same time. The boy could solo on his first day, it took the old fart two months, that,s about normal, you were born with a computer and joy stick in your hand. Most of us older guys didn't even have TV so it's all new to us. Everything depends on you the student. Other then this kid I have never seen anyone learn to fly that quick.The kid doesn't fly any longer, he is more into girls and other things right now. The old fart has become a very good pilot and learning as much IMAC piloting as he can. No one here can say what you can or can't do, it's all about yourself.
Good lord, I'm preaching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]]]]
