Practice planes: Helpful or not?
 
So I love my new Integral, but it flies nothing like my Angel that I use on a closer field and can fly more often. I know this is subjective, but I'm curious to hear what others have to say.


Does practicing with a smaller plane help or hurt?



Thanks as always,


Joe

I live a block and a half from a community college with a parking lot that is perfect for my Aeroworks Stingray (42" 3s electric) Does it help? Probably not. But hey, stick time is stick time. It's all good.

It helps that you're flying. Otherwise, the only thing that will mimic what you want is to fly your competition airplane. Stick time never hurt anything, and you will be better off for it.
