Move up to a larger trainer first such as the Apprentice
get a good feel for flying a 4 channel airplane and larger size plane
ok what about the mini apprentice
would that work as well
Michael H.
yes
but it hasn't been released yet
ok after the mini apprentice what next
Michael H.
if you are wanting to move towards warbirds, a T28 Trojan

T-28 Trojan BNF Basic

such as this one
this willl work what next to kind of " WOW " your fellow pilots
Michael H.
It's not about "Wowing" your fellow pilot's, it's about staying within your abilities
ok ok what next
Michael H.
I'd suggest asking some of the senior pilot's in your club
well remember this after th f4u
Michael H.
no you want to fly the T28 before a Corsair
T28 is a warbird trainer
used full scale to train warbird pilot's
but it doesn't have safe
Michael H.
Warbirds are NOT NOT NOT trainers
the f4u does the one from hobbyzone
Michael H.
especially Corsairs
really bad tip stall characteristics
at low airspeeds
so the t-28 is better for a warbird trainer
Michael H.
yes
once you can fly the Mini Apprentice in Expert mode without the aide of the Panic Recovery in all orientations, move up to the T28
ok so after the t-28 i will get the f4u what would you suggest for me after that plane
Michael H.
Yes you should be able to fly any Warbird after flying the T28
ok thanks
Michael H.
Have a great day! Feel free to come back and chat any time you have questions!!!!
