Hey Kiran
I'm thinking about buying one of these for teaching students to fly.
I think it would be a good all around aircraft for basic training and might also be good for doing spin recovery.....Interested in your thoughts.
Obviously I would be doing take offs and landing, (my plane) once the student gets to solo time they can transfer to their own aircraft but I thought if you are training people through the basics on the same plane all the time you would learn more about the students ability and be able to help them more because you would be more in tune with the aircraft, do you think it would be a good trainer. I was teamed up with a guy at the instructors couse and had to fly the big sucker for my second flight. It flew very predictably with a nice low power glide angle for landing practice but the owner said it spins like a demon and with increased rates is quite aerobatic. It is quite large so helps with visual orientation, what do you think.
