Eurostar vs Ikarus
So having made the decision to learn to fly I was faced with my first decision of "do I learn in the Eurostar or the Ikarus?" My school operate both. I tried both planes but found the control placement on the Ikarus awkward (flaps operated from above but a right handed control column and throttle between your legs) and I had to cross hands etc. on this basis I've selected the Eurostar (I also prefer the visibility of low wing and having flown gliders previously found the control placement more natural) but I've heard the Ikarus is more forgiving to fly?
Also I wondered how hard it is to convert to the unique control arrangement once I've attained my license?
All thoughts appreciated.
