All kinds of 38 drivers around.  Some better then others....well all are better then me :)

But the 38G is my baby.  Stick with whichever 38 you like and take your lumps.  All of a sudden you'll get the hang of it.

And take these guys up on their advice in learning it.  That or give a yell when you are up.

If nothing else you can fly along and watch me die :)

Of course, everyone has their own opinion and with all things in life YMMV but it's best to train a new player in an easy and forgiving plane to fly than it would be to teach them in a more difficult airplane.  The new player would grasp things quicker and would be less frustrated since he's not spending more time "flying the plane" than playing.  Another reason why I also recommend starting in a plane like the Spitfire, is that the new player will less likely quit than the one that started in a more difficult airplane.
