practice PO7 with a Venus / OS46FX combo. The airplane will do the
maneuvers easily, and some of the maneuvers look pretty and are fun, but when
it comes to box, constant speed, presentation….etc.etc. It is obvious
why bigger with power is better. The question I’m trying to get at
is what the experienced guys say they would expect to get out of practicing
with a small aircraft? My feelings are that I’m learning the basic
control inputs and maneuver sequence and flow, but believe me….the 2m bird
will be exclusive soon. As good as the Javelin, Venus, Freestyle
fly….how much value are they to our practice
routines?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
