I'm not sure it's a good idea to encourage Johnny to try real flying.
If he has half the problems with a real plane as he does with his toy

You have to admit, it's kind of fun watching Krause and Eriksson 'gang up' on Herring
over something so ridiculous.

What a laugh!


Ganging up?

I told you that I am not knocking your RC flying hobby. It's fun for many.

You are the one who is trying to convince me and others that flying a RC
airplane is similar to real flying.

There are similarities. Period. That's all anyone here has said.

I think that ingrained pilot arrogance is rearing its ugly head.

Done for today. Sleep well.

I flew u controls as a kid, wanted RC but was not in my budget. I do not
have a pilots license but have flown with a pilot in some cool airplanes.
Besides a 172. The Ucontrol is an example of very much quicker response
than a real airplane. Someways is harder to fly a model airplane because
of the very quick response characteristic and the fact you are not at
5000'.
