Well I sort of anticpated getting a bashing from the stick n' rudder brigade
Seriously - I'll stick by my guns (or rather - numbers). While we of course all gain experience with every hour flown and increasingly can
feel the airplane, this is not something a student can/will. I simply consider it extremely dangerous and indeed irresonsible to tell people w/o experience to
fly be the seat of the pants.
As to
You are of course quite right, but I would suggest that you are not flying - you are merely operating an aerial conveyance to a set of prescribed parameters and IF anything were to unbalance that equilibrium, you would be in a whole heap of hurt.
Well, I won't be, as I know what the a/c is capable of doing and how it does it - and last time I checked I was indeed heavier than air, hence the need for an aerial conveyance
!
Happy - and safe - landings.
