Electric Flight 01/2013


Learning to fly for me was really all about taking off and landing. My biggest issue was taking off from the asphalt or grass, ground-looping, and taking out the propeller. Where was the Firebird Stratos six years ago? This twin-engine airplane, equipped with tricycle landing gear and reinforced tail skid, was engineered with the beginner in mind. I can't imagine how you could break a propeller on this airplane! It can also slow down to a crawl, so landing is a piece of cake. It's even equipped with virtual instructor technology, so a first-time flier can be successful without a flight instructor on hand!
