Been flying pattern for 20+ years, so am well aware of setup issues, thanks. Also a corporate pilot for 30+ Years.The rules of pattern or IMAC have no real application in a discussion of basics. KISS.  
My point is, a lot of RCers could benefit from some of the basic principles of both realms. I still see guys stab the power on and have the airplane 'take them for a ride'. We have one guy witha big Cub who goes into the pits 2 or 3 times a year. When he does manage to get airborne, the poor Cub has a right wing low, trying to stop the left turn. No amount of hints or talking does any good to that type, but if the OP is open to learn, then great.
