Re: "When did you see a newbie handle throttle management as well as controlling the airplane in the air without crashing?
I haven't in 31 years flying. " < ... if training is done on a buddy box in a controlled fashion it isn't a problem. I have taught new flyers as young as 8 years old with few problems. I start out telling them to set the throttle at just below half throttle before I allow them to take over and gradually have them start using the left stick. Maybe you should consider other training methods. [8D]

If you're a newbie, I don't think you're going to be in any National Competitions for a while so get what you can afford and enjoy the ride! This is a hobby, and learning as you go is all part of it.

Good luck on your decisions.

RE: "I get more satisfaction out of an engine that doesn't wanna run than one that gives me no problems. Making it run makes my day." < You would get a real charge out of Super Tigre and MDS engines then!!! :D

RE: What Engine Manufacturer?
 

That's funny cause of all the Super Tiger engines I have ever owned have never gave me any problems. Never tried any MDS's.

It's them high dollar engines I have the most problems with.

And that's the truth! :)

I think you would be considered a PG (pilot god) at our field if you could gaet a ST to run half decent!! [8D]

A friend of mine in the club has had a Super Tiger 61 for over 30 years, never tore it apart and still running strong.

They only run as good as the guy behind it can make it run.

Try the combo which Sig offer on their LT-40 with Aviastar Av-46
