Default Skill - Plane Choice

I recently saw a website that listed skill levels and recommended planes. My PC locked up and had to reboot it so I did not copy down the web address. Anyone know where this is?

TIA.

Thanks for the URL, that was it.

I wonder is there is a vendor neutral site? That would be nice...

Thanks again.

Skill is a relative thing. You need someone who has flown with you to assess that. I flew a trainer for only 2 flights and I sold it, then moved on ... I had someone who trained me everyday for 3 months! But I think GP would be giving fair assessment ...

Agreed. What I think is skill is not what my instructor would feel. I am a BFI (Basic Flight Instructor) for Ultralights so I know about this. There are many GA pilots who have thought they can get in an ultralight and fly it - not. I am struggling with my trainer because flying outside the cockpit is way different from flying from inside it.

I am taking is slowly and listening to my instructors.

Thanks everyone for your input.

Here is an excellent vendor-neutral site:
