At the risk of looking dumb, I have to ask; What does troll mean in this context?  :confused:

Using a fishing analogy, putting bait in the water and trolling around in your boat to see what bites.
Posting some rather stupid and pointless thing to see who replies to it.
Some use fresh bait, others use old stinky bait that no fish would ever think of nibbling on.
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

Fuzeman,

Thanks for the answer with not attempt to beliitle me for asking.   I sure bit but, then being new, I didn't find the topic pointless.  I'm sure it's been dragged out too many times for those of you who have been around for a while.:)

Well anytime you say 'best' its way to subjective and people may or may not have strong opinions on it.
My definition was the black and white of it, not necessarily saying this question was a troll.
When I was a Trainer, this question would come up quite often and in a way it is a valid question.
My usual answer was 'there is no best plane' becasue the pilot effects the fight so much.
A 'very good' pilot in a 'bad' plane usually beats a 'bad' pilot in the 'best' plane.

Agree fuze. Also.... "best plane" for what purpose? For a low and slow stallfight? For BnZ style E-fight? For low and slow E-fight? For high alt intercept or for lawn mowing? For attacking a base? For flattening town/running CAP?.......

Aside from this really being a troll..... the question asked is a very valid one. "best plane to start in". Also, as you can see - hot topic, among players as well as among trainers. I guess the answer just isnt set in stone, its always an individual one that, taking into account a few things, everyone has to answer for him/herself.
