[Flying fisho]

Thanks for the comments Steve and I had full intention of letting it hibernate with my HK F4U Corsair until I am ready to stick twitch it with the big guys. I believe I am advancing reasonably quickly because of mountains of sticktime on Phoenix and (as per Darren’s discipline), I believe I am well on the way of controlling the planes & not letting the planes control me. Again quoting Darren, any sticktime is good time for a learner.
On Phoenix I can comfortably handle both the T28 & the BF109 to takeoff & land, do lap after lap of level flying, perform basic aerobatics, pull out of intentional spins etc, but am realistic enough to know the grey matter works different outside of cyberspace.
Kellets tried to tell me that the T28 was a good plane for a novice but I think more as a 2nd plane for a low wing learner plane because of its stability. I rarely take store comments as any more than just sales pitch, but am keen to learn if that was a fair comment & if so, would the BF109 fall into that category. $169 may be a great deal but not if I need the T28 before I can advance to it.
I too apologise to Bob for taking the Parkzone Radian Pro thread off topic. I will try to be more courteous in future.

Cheers
