Title: Looking for a trainer
Post by: Debrody on September 27, 2011, 08:30:34 AM
Im looking for some advanced training. Would like to learn something new: P-38 series, Jug series, 152. Even have to work on the 109 series: mostly on the g6, g14, and the k4.
If you have any motivation to have some fun with a big nub, feel free to pm or post here.
Thanks,
<S>

Not trying to troll, but that's a mighty wide range of aircraft and handling characteristics ya got to cover there on your plate.

You pretty much said you want to learn everything that is not basic...

I'll duel ya in a P38 - I have a lot to learn in it too - but I like getting my arse kicked to learn something

I don't see the wide range of planes as a problem, actually.

I never really worried about plane type when it came to training.  Maybe a very rough, basic, overview of a plane's characteristics, strong and weak points, etc...  

What I found in almost every case was that it wasn't the plane-choice that was causing my "students" problems, it was how they were handling the basics.  How they used energy and space.  How they handled an E-advantage or disadvantage, how they merged, how predictable they were, and how often they reacted based on what they predicted I was going to do, rather than what they saw me do, or knew me to be capable of.  Number one problem I saw was that they weren't watching me closely enough, but rather taking quick glances at me, or else that they weren't able to interpret what they saw me doing correctly.

I was able to work with intermediate "experts" in whatever plane they chose, even though I often had to set my views up because I'd never used the thing before.  It didn't matter how comfortable they were in it, because they were often making some pretty serious non-plane-specific mistakes...

Honestly, I kind of blew off whatever this-or-that plane choice they made, because it's so seldom that anyone is really able to maximize whatever plane they choose.  As a result, it really does come down to the pilot 99% of the time.  If each pilot was capable of tweaking the best performance out of their plane choice, then I could see the plane choice mattering much more.

I concentrated on teaching my students how to fight, not that a P38 can do this-or-that with a slightly better XX than a P47D11 can, or that if it stalls in a bank it'll do this or that...

Teach someone to fight, and they're dangerous in almost any plane.  They can figure out the fine points of their plane on their own, by flying it.  Or read about the performance differences.  I always considered 1 on 1 training time as far too valuable to squander with those things.

  Great stuff Mntman!

  I'd offer up one more thing,seat time, nothing beats seat time and you cant explore the edges of the envelope while your busy fighting,this is best done in a noncombat setting. Either fly offline or in the TA and do stalls and recoveries,push the limits and thats how you learn a specific plane. As Mntman said learn to fight and the plane really doesnt matter,some plane does some things better than others but thats it!

Deb, you and I were in the da almost every night last week and we were very closely matched in K4s. If you think you need training, then I should need some too, (which I am not opposed to receiving). I am just kinda surprised, because you are one of the best sticks today. Its kinda like grizz saying he needs training.

If you are not comfortable in a ride, its probably because you need more stick time in it and haven't learned where the 'edge' is.

no matter what you do, or how hard you train, nobody and i mean nobody knows everything there is to know about flying planes.

if you actually pull it off and manage to get a plane by just saying that, then im going to buy you a months supply of steaks.

Debrody,

I'm in the TA most nights around 9 central time, I'm an above average 109 stick, but nothing of the Bighorn level with one.  I'd be happy to spar with you in the TA and see if I see anything, as long as I'm not tied up with another student.  Kinda surprised by this post actually, Your 109 reputation has always been good from what I remember, but I can never fault someone for trying to be better at even their best aircraft.  So my offer is out there, would actually look forward to it :aok

Oh, and debrody, I like 109's and 47's alike...just ask in the MA, and we can hit tue DA up in either plane :)
Title: Re: Looking for a trainer
Post by: Debrody on September 28, 2011, 12:30:40 AM
I was listing quite a few aircrafts... Of course i cant learn them all at once, just one after one.

Bunny, i always felt totally confortable in 109s. But when i met you first time, it was just like opening a door towards another world - im wondering how many doors are left. Remember Bogomips kicking our bellybutt on the other day, our fights lasted 5-8 minutes, still couldnt get him. I can get many kills in those aircrafts i listed, but im looking for "those" niceties what can decide a fight between an average and a real good stick.

Thanks for the offers, Sirs. Not sure how my stupid timezone would interfere with yours. The evenings here ae the usual worktime in the states, ill try my best to be there. Plus i work on the weekends, cant be on that time. If any of you see mee in the MA and looking for some good fights, send a pm, im always up for it.
<S>!

Btw. any chance to ban the two trolololios from this thread?!

I do, and I'm not opposed to learning either. If any of the trainers would like to spar with me too, I would love to see what I could learn as I'm sure there is still much to learn. That being said, I can't wait for bighorn to get back, I've had some great fights against that guy and would love to practice and fight him more. As for bogomips, yeah, that dude was good... the bar has been raised.

just a quick word of advice, dont dive too steeply or your going to compress and auger into your pixel death. but if you can control that blender (i can never do it correctly) its a deadly weapon. IIRC it has a good roll rate at about 350-400 MPH. it starts to get a bit harder to pull out of dives at around 415 MPH though, so always keep an eye on your speed. compression was the #1 killer in that plane for me.  :lol

bigrat, bogomips is not bighorn, that was all jokes. bogomips is Russian, nor does his style like bighorns. But that being said, I''d love to practice with you, and I'm sure deb would too. pm us, let set it up

I'm in the TA almost every night around 9 central during the week, so I'm easy to find.  The hard part is finding me without a student already.  If someone doesn't show then I'm free to do whatever.  I'm supposed to be working with Navy84 tonight but, he's on call some nights so he can't always make it.  Send me a PM around 9 central, If I'm free, I'll tell you to head on over.  Would love to fly 109's again for a bit.  If I know that I'm going to have a no show ahead of time, I'll give you guys the heads up.
