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'.

As a kid I was limited to U-control also. Hell, an RC airplane, transmitter,
receiver, servos and all that stuff would cost well over $1000. I was building when
Monocote came out. Wow, was that stuff nice compared to the paper and dope coverings.
My favorite was the Ringmaster. Not too expensive and not overly difficult to
assemble. http://tinyurl.com/ntsy5n9

But, if a control line broke while doing a wingover, it was time for a new airplane.
