So much discussion is centered around people getting into off airport landings on this site, and what type of plane to get to learn...
I wonder: is the better pilot one that begins with the tricked out cub and can land her in the 300' pea patch, or is the better pilot one that takes the equipment he has available and learns how to get every ounce of performance from it, and instinctively knows what it will and won't do, adding in safety margins to keep the bird, and themselves in one piece.
To that question: can one learn good bush techniques in a Cessna 150, or do they need a 'good bush plane'?
