The more I think about it the more the differences become obvious.

When starting your take off roll, how do you "steer" the RC? Or do you?
When landing, how do you correct for crosswinds? Dipped wing or slip?
What's your pre-flight like. What's a "run up". Magneto check limits?
What's your landing pattern procedures?
How do you stop the plane when you land?
How do you control direction of the plane when taxiing?

Those are but a few very basic issues of "real" flying that I don't
think the average RC pilot deals with.

With all due respect, I'd argue that those are mostly procedural
differences that are not related to flight and control surface
dynamics.

I think there are some major differences in handling. Both the control
surfaces and polar moments.
