True but pilots don't "steer" a plane either. They fly them. I think the point is I can start the G gauge train that runs around the house and go for a boat ride. It will still be going when I get back. You can't walk away from the controller of your RC plane and expect it to still be flying safely even a minute later.

"Heard something on the new the other day about proposed regulations governing RC and drone flying. One was an FAA Certificate which, I assume, means a demonstration of basic proficiency." Oh oh...there goes Johnny's short career. The proposed rule would only apply to commercial operators and this is about drones, not conventional RC aircraft. Ah...the nine-year-old kids down the street who fly RC airplanes will be relieved. And when I was 9 I was already quite proficient at target shooting with various pistols and rifle. So what's your point? |

With an RC plane, at least part of the time, the nose is pointed at you. That means the left and right controls are reversed. This, I believe, is what causes the most problems, at least for me. Another related difference is that pilots in a real plane has a seat of the pants, first person view. Not so with RC. Something that helps newbies to RC is that when the airplane is flying towards you and the controls are reversed, your can turn your body so the transmitter is faced the same way as the plane, but look back over your shoulder at the plane. That way the stick moves to the right, the plane moves to the right. It's a crutch, but with some more stick time it'll come naturally. Believe it or not, I learned that the last time I was out. A turn of the body sure helps. Works with other toys, too, like model railroad layouts. Better stick to your liberal stuff. -- Guns don't cause problems.

True but pilots don't "steer" a plane either. They fly them. From Dictionary.com: verb (used without object) 4. to direct the course of a vessel, vehicle, airplane, or the like, by the use of a rudder or other means. One could say that a pilot does, in fact, steer his airplane. Trains are not 'steered'. -- Guns don't cause problems. The behavior of certain gun owners causes problems. |
