The second on

[trillian]

QFT. The main trouble is to know when one is ready to try to maneuver for real after having it mastered it on the simulator. I've observed lots of people are a little bit too optimistic and think that 2 hours for pirouetting loop is enough .
Only try in real if you can consistently do it on simulator, meaning, you wake up at 7 am, hungover, and you can do it on the sim 10 times in the row with 15 mph crosswind.

That's what I was trying to get across, that it must be so drilled in and solid on the sim, not the slightest hesitation, not 4 out of 5 times, but really nailed. Because in real life it's always gonna be different and something will throw you a curve (plus the nerves kick in).

[Trev why do you always seem to be inciting destruction. Buy yourself a Trex 500 practice on the sim and you will save yourself a bundle.
Keep flying its only a learning curve.]

Just laugh with your mates, fix and fly - really, all part of the fun...

Please concentrate Mr. Woody.I love 500s more than anything;that's why I've got 4 of them...
1 to fly.
1 spare to fly.
1 emergency spare to fly
1 because unwind-protect bamboozled me into buying it as a spare..Good man..
TREX 500 is superb TBH as a learning tool - goes where you point it, and no questions asked, just stable, powerful & not too expensive to fix- I love them.
