Line Up and Wait
The guys I rent from just bought one, and it is going to be on the flight line. Training AND rental. They are looking to light sport. I am looking to a conventional endorsement and renting something low, slow and simple. Also, I figure my stick and rudder skills could use the sort of workout that this plane will give them.
I asked them about manuals so that I could figure out V speeds, etc. Both of them laughed at me in stereo. Apparently, I am going into a much more simple, yet difficult, training process than the skyhawk provides. One guy loaned me an ASA publication on conventional gear, which I am working through.
Anyone here own or fly a champ? Advice, cautions, anecdotes? I am open to all. Hope to get my first training in the yellow and orange beast next week.
