Hello all:
After about 2 years out, I am getting back into the hobby. I have an Extra EZ trainer, but found a pretty decent deal on a Tiger II. The question is this. Should I stick with my trainer or get the Tiger II. I flew the trainer quite a bit, but its been a few years since I've taken it up and have not flown since.
thanks in advance
John

is the extra an easy flying because why would you get anouther trainer if you all ready have one (unless you colect trainers[&:]) and if you have flown it before and if its not broken, there will be no problems.... hopefully

Perhaps refresh your skills on the Extra EZ and get the Tiger II as a step up once you get used to flying again.[8D]

I actually find my Tiger 2 easier to fly than my trainer. I had (still have) an Eagle 2. The Eagle is very nice on a calm day, but very much a kite in the wind.

The Tiger II is one of the best "second" planes going. I am sure that you will not regret getting it.

pt-power,
The Tiger ii is a low wing sport plane, not a trainer.

John,
I'd say get in a couple of flights with the trainer before flying the Tiger II, unless they're will be someone with you who can get it in the air and take it back if it's too much.

I'm guessing you'd be fine, but why risk it?

Good luck, welcome back, and welcome to RCU!
Dennis-

The Tiger 60, Tiger II, 4*40 and 4*60 all work OK as 2nd aircraft... The can be used as introductory trainers too.

There should be very little problem when getting back into the hobby using a Tiger II. They are very well behaved airplanes. Maybe one or two refresher flights with an instructor standing by would be a good idea... but I forsee no problem at all with you getting the Tiger II.

Thanks a bunch guys...
John

If you honestly feel rusty and you do not have a buddy-box lined up, shake the rust off with the trainer and make sure you are comfortable then the transition to the Tiger II will be easy-

I believe that a 4*, Magic, or TigerII are easier to fly than a trainer, [X(] but that is because I have been flying for a loong time and it is second nature to me...

There is a reason why they make trainers, and most people start and learn on them- (Just get past it as fast as possible so you can buy/build the really fun stuff!)
