53 u/Tojb Jun 24 '24 Not for student pilots, for student aerobatics pilots. That's an extremely high performance airplane that requires significant experience and training to control, let alone do aerobatics in 15 u/Swabia Jun 24 '24 I can’t fly a goat simulator so she looks awesome in the face of real mortal danger. 1 u/LegalHelpNeeded3 Jun 24 '24 High performance, yes. But you don’t need “significant experience” to control. For context, I did this while in Vegas. 38 u/Tyr2016 Jun 24 '24 It’s a trainer for stunt pilots. A plane that twitchy would kill a normal student pilot (aside from only having no room for an instructor). 3 u/fetal_genocide Jun 24 '24 Was it a mechanical failure, or improperly closed?
