Update for all: I flew again this Wed. afternoon for a XC in simulated instrument condition. Discovered a huge improvement and relief this time. I was able to trim when climbing and cursing, and the airplane just "flew itself" straight and level, and I could program the system, load the...

Eventually, I was able to let go of the control but still flying level and straight

Flew with my CFI Wed. afternoon. Shared with him the advice that I received from here. He goes like "sure, you should trim the plane, later. but for now, I want to you have more work to do during your training. Everything will be easier towards the end of your training, particularly when you...

Am truly sorry for your loss. Appreciated your sharing your experience with your c-172 which I flew a number of times during my VFR training. Love your attitude. Nothing can stop aviators' dreams.

Love this shorthand approach you suggested. Thanks

Greatly appreciated your detailed advice and invitation to N94. Will keep everyone posted as how my airplane ownership progresses.

I Will go flying later this week and plan to share with the CFII what I have learned from here. Lets say what his reaction is. Will also try out all the good sound advice.

I did form this sort of impression... lol. Found these two books! Appreciated. Reading now. For these who have Kindle Unlimited, they are actually for free! Reaching out to my local flying clubs.... Thanks!

Always want to own an airplane. First secured finance and got my medical. Set up a schedule to learn and finally got my PP certificate at the end of Aug. Very excited. Started looking online and checking out some airplanes offline at local airports. This afternoon, when driving away from my...

Lots of wonderful and helpful replies/advice. Will try out in my next week's flight and will report back to you all!

Thanks for sharing your experience! Very helpful. From the three replies, one thing in common is to trim the plane then temporarily "let go of the control" when operating radio or other stuff. I started to wondering why my CFII not letting me trim my plane. He asked me to "focus on flying...

Am a new private pilot with about 23 hours of IFR training in the airplane. I seem to have more problems keeping the airplane on a steady level straight flight. The moment I try to tune in a different frequency, or to take note of the destination airport ATIS, or to look at an approach chart...

Patience! Yes. Thanks man.

Liked the approach you suggested. BTW, got my PPL done this week finally. Getting ready to practice your kind recommendation.

Finally, I am a PPL. Happy to share that I just got my checkride done, after many rescheduling with a couple of DPEs, due to Covid situation. Would like to thank everyone here and also officially start my airplane hunting.

My 2 cents: podcast... fits nowaday's busy lifestyle...

Thanks for your quick reply. Saved my time running towards the wrong direction.

Thanks Stan. Sounds like you figured it all out, from owning to maintaining an experimental aircraft. Good for you! Will consider LS repairman-inspection certificate if end up buying a RV 6A /7A.

That is 100% true. The LSA is different from C-150 or C-172. I recently tried Sling 2 and found my landing was back to day 1 of my training. But I will learn to fly Sling as I heard from other pilots saying that the two, Van's and Sling, share a lot more similiarities. Also, Sling Club has a...

I would love to hear more about Van's or Sling or anyother experimental aircrafts. Thanks
