First Flight Questions
Heya,
After several years of flightsimming I finally got myself a proper "taster" lesson on my 18th birthday which I flew yesterday.
I did it with Cabair in a Grunman American AA-5B Tiger out of Cranfield and loved it, although as with many GA aircraft I'm not sure if it would pass its MOT were it a car.
However my first question relates to my height. I'm only 5'6" (about 1.7m) and while in the air using the rudder pedals were fine, on the ground where it sometimes needed full deflection for steering I had difficulty reaching with my short legs. The instructor mentioned the "Diamond Stars" had movable rudder pedals and so I might be able to use them more easily.
What are your opinions on this or does anyone have any other suggestions?
Also if I managed to find the money to do a full PPL (which could be tricky seeing as I'm going to Uni next year) would Cabair be recommendable? Can anyone recommend a better/cheaper way of doing it (without moving to America?)
Sorry if this has been asked (many times) before but a search didn't answer my questions.
