Ello,

I learned to fly in about 2.5 hours of flighttime. It is possible to solo very soon, but it al depends on you. I have had a lot flightsims but no RC, microsoft stuff, and I think that helps a lot. The best is to have a good instructor and lots of free time to practice, you have to fly regularly when you are learning.

I wanted to set this message at the post about average training time until solo flight but it didn't work, how do you do this ( I know you can quote but isn't there an other way)

Nice job Barto.

I once trained a surgeon. He soloed in a few days. After a week and a half, he was training his son. I would say the average time to solo is 3 weeks to several months, but like you said - it all depends on how hard you and your instructor work at it.

Barto, you clicked on the "New Thread" button, You should have clicked the "Post Reply" button.

I soloed with about 15 flights. but had a bit of sim pratice.

WTG Barto!

I have my first rc flights behind me as well, without any trainer.

Well... I actually like very much to build planes and doesn't hurt me, if i have to build one plane several times.

Meaning it is easier to do it with trainer. Was lotsa things to find out (glad i had glue and balsa ) the hard way without one.

Simulators do help, or at least for me they did. My biggest problem was plane built too heavy, 'cause when i finally got it up, i had it under control.

There's been some scratching noises in my shop (can you belive my shop is right in my working/office room with 4 puters, large inkjet + stuff )lately, so that means maiden flight for my ex-Fournier is near.

I wonder...

..
. nevermind.

GL and have fun.
