To those folks who don't do something because they can't afford the absolute pinnacle of equipment: has it occurred to you that you might turn out to be a rubbish pilot or photographer or whatever, and the equipment will be wasted on you ? Of course, you will never know. Using basic equipment gives you a thorough understanding of the fundamentals,
and in the case of a deadstick could be a lifesaver. We have a local airfield with a 450 yard grass strip-good practice for an emergency. I remember renting a plane in the US and the CFI apologising that the runway was only grass( 2000 yards though)! I asked how many touch & goes in one pass that he expected me to complete on it to demo my landing ability
