Like I said before I don't knock those to enjoy the RC thing. It's fun for many but it's a totally different experience. Sure, there are similarities in the respect that both have wings and go up in the air. But that's about it. I did all of my flight instruction in a Cessna 152. After I soloed I flew the 152 and a 150 quite a bit. I did the cross country phase and final check flight for my ticket in a Cessna 172. All the Cessna's were high winged aircraft. After a while I wanted to try something different, so I arranged for a checkout flight in a Piper Warrior which is more powerful and low winged. Felt like I was flying a Boeing 747 by comparison. That all said, I am glad I did it but I also realized I am not a "natural" pilot who enjoys the stresses of flying. I like boating much more. === I agree with all that, and most importantly, boats do not fall from the sky when you screw up. :-) Don't these new boats have the S.A.F.E. technology? I'll bet Harry's does, so he can navigate ferocious inlets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZpFSE2pUI0 I've never used my SAFE switch. Never had enough time to get to it. === I assume you mean panic mode? The beginners mode sounds highly desirable while you're just getting started. Yeah, panic mode. The beginner's mode takes a lot of room. The plane will not turn, climb, or desend as rapidly. I flew it in beginner's mode when I first got it, but twice put it in trees because it wouldn't climb fast enough. Upon lots of advice, I quit flying in beginner's mode. You must be approaching 30 posts so far today on your toy airplanes...will you set a record? Stay tuned. Would you rather see anti-social ****? Are you referring to your racist, anti-black posts? I'm referring to the last 247 posts you've made. The Bozo's Bin...is it full yet? Are you heeding Eriksson's advice - if you don't like it, don't read it? -- Guns don't cause problems. The behavior of certain gun owners causes problems. |
