I started flying 97 in Australia where I gained my first CPL. Today I have CPL within CASA, FAA, JAA (Australia, USA, Europe). Currently flying skydivers with a Cessna Caravan. Soon 1000 hrs and are trying to find myself a flying job.

RE: Full scale flyers....roll call.
I've got my Commercial Instrument SEL Airplane ticket. Got my license in 93'....
I've got time in the following-
A36, F33, C152, C172, C172RG, C177RG, C182, C182RG, C206, C210, PA 28(Warrior, 140, Arrow), PA 32(Lance T and straight tail, saratoga, FG turbo saratoga, and cherokee 6), Malibu Mirage, Seminole and Super Decathlon.... I think that's it.
I've been out of general aviation for over a year now but plan to go back "some day"...Maybe after the family has grown and moved out! LOL!

It will vary from person to person. I did my solo in 9 hours and I have a freind that was able to land a Piper Warrior on his second lesson... Then again I've seen some rc guys take FOREVER to get their license. It's more difficult to fly an rc well than it is to fly a full scale airplane.

In general proficient rc guys will solo much sooner than someone starting from scratch. The understanding of adding power for altitude and adjusting pitch for airspeed as well as the general feeling of an airplane getting more and more sloppy the slower it gets helps you get the feel much quicker. Anyway this is me and my recently departed baby that I owned for 6 years if it uploads[img][/img]

And generally the full scale pilots are harder to teach to fly R/C too! Most I've encountered have a severe case of "knowitallitis". They usually learn the hard way, via their checkbook!

RE: Full scale flyers....roll call.
Good point, I've noticed the same thing. Full scale guys trying to act like they're aviation experts because they have a license. They do generally have a more difficult time learning to fly r/c. I think knowitallitis increases the learning curve because the mentality that you have superior knowledge and skill to the "mere ground bound r/c pilot" keeps them from listening to their r/c instructor...
But there are exceptions to almost everything.

The weather Sunday afternoon was great, but I busted half the elevator off of my Kat 40. Not wanting to waste the day, I took to the air in the full scales. Thought yall might like some of the pics that followed.

When you click reply, there is a tab just under the text box that says "click here to upload". This will allow you to upload pics to a post.

LowFlyBye,
Excellent pics! I am currently in a voluntary layoff for a few years while I put three kids thru college. I did have time to teach R/C to the nephew of a gentleman who is the owner of a Cherokee 140 this past fall. This has started a friendship and opportunity to get a little flying time in the 140.

That's a prettylittle airplane David has, and his street name is "Igor Sikorsky." Appropriate.
Tell me, please, what is an "AMA/EXPR" engine? What I can see of it looks like a turbine.
You didn't do too badly with your pictures either.

Bill, the AMA/EXPR is one of the types of engines available for the Helicycle. However my neighbor Dave has the other engine which is a Solar T62T-32. It is basically an Eagle R&D modified CH-47 Chinook APU engine.
