Figuring the kid may be finally trying to get the training wheels off..... not sure as he is ignored. If he is trying to learn the 38 he will see just how easy the spit/trainer is. The 38 is just one of the birds in Aces High that actually takes quite some time to master.
If he is actually trying to shed his training wheels I wish him luck in his endeavor.
used properly it is an extremely deadly plane.....I would say it takes more discipline to fly, sticking to its strengths, not necessarily skill....obviously, different then the spit 8/9/16 ..... still used right the 38 with its ballistics, the climb.... the speed.....
it is one to be wary of, especially when I know someone who flies its constantly around and is good, who will fight in it, not just tr to turn right away, but using the vert just enough, not BnZing 4K away.....then I know I am in for a fight.....
it is gonna take middy a long time to get there, the one difference is he will be dieing to noobs again, he wont like that and in 3 weeks he will go back to spit.
(if that)
