All talk of spamcans goes straight over my head.

To date,

- learnt on HR200
- a few hours European touring in a Warrior
- tailwheel conversion on Super Cub
- currently own and learning to fly my part-share in a Jodel

plus

- one dual glider launch
- 20 mins in a Falke
- righthand seat in a GY-80 Gardan

Nowt much conservative about that!

If people are passionate about flying, they'll seek out the best and not just go for what's on offer from the nearest school. I findeed it is daunting, then the PPL will play it safe.

To go from a C152 to say a WW2 fighter would be daunting. Pilot would probably kill themselve son takeoff, if not, in a spin shortly after. C152 to say a Jodel less so, but perfectly manageable and safe given experience is properly instilled.

All depends on your interests in aviation and what level of FUN you want!

...whose Jodel is a right little handful on the ground roll post-landing.
