After flying Ag for over 27 years, looking forward to flying the 7 for fun and learning some Acro from someone like Jetjo1.

Default Trust me Brent....

....after flying the -7, you'll throw rocks at the 802

I flew my Phase one over the winter a few years ago and when Spring came and brought with it wheat work, I cranked up the 502. Man...I'm flying a deuce-and-a-half...compared to the light and nimble RV. Really made me appreciate my -6....you will too....but, the 'Tractor pays the bills and buys me toys, so it's not all bad

BTW, I'm in Ag year # 41!!

Best,

Pierre, It does fly good. I flew it for 50 hours before I tore it apart to paint. Base coat is finished, just lack trim colors. I just want to get a little acro instruction first. Would hate to fly Ag all my life, and get hurt in RV.
