Jabiru it is! Spent some 30 minutes in the air today, what an amazing aircraft! The wind was not playing it’s part, but the Jabi was still a pleasure. Would still like to do a conversion to trike, but that will have to wait until I am signed out on the Jabiru.

Thanks again Morph, will post again on this topic as soon as I have flown both a/c.

Commute, no, not really. Would like to do the odd cross country, lets say a day’s worth of flying. 99% will be purely for fun. Morph, I have given that option some thought. Maybe fly the Jabi, and then do conversion onto Trike. Or the other way around? What would a conversion onto Trikes enta...

Thank you for sharing. I am undecided between flying the Jabi, or going for the trike. Seeing the videos and photo’s you guys produce, really does make me want to fly trikes. Like many on this forum have mentioned, it is the closest man will get to flying with the birds! I have decided though...

While on the topic of starting out……how difficult is it to adjust from 3-axis flying to the weight shift method. Pushing forward on the yoke = going down, on the trike it = going up?

RV4ker, that answers my question. So if both pilots are trained equally, what seems to be the problem? Why would a PPL think him any better than a MPL?

OK, so my question wasn’t as interesting to ya’all as it was to me. What I would like to know is, are MPL students trained just as well, or better, than PPL students. Are the same subjects covered by both? I understand that the MPL requires fewer hours to complete. Why is that?

In terms of training, what differences are there between PPL and MPL?
