With a few exceptions (odd aero effects like stalling in a steep turn and in particular the ground effect on landing) I felt very at home with the basic flight and controls, in retrospect I'd have given myself a 50/50 chance of an landing without damage to the aircraft if thrown into it from scratch. How this scales up is the question though. | |
