Default RE: Learn to fly ASAP

I used to be involved in a schools day at Old Warden airfield in Bedfordshire. A group of aeromodellers with the help of the BMFA training officer gave kids a taste of RC flying on trainers with a buddy box.

The kids were given a 2 minute brief on the TX then marched out and given the buddy box.

I was one of the aeromodellers involved for several years. A few of them demonstrated amazing hand eye coordination and required virtually no corrections by me. They flew circuits loops and rolls on their own.

There was a common denominator they were all thumb bandits ie played LOTS of computer games with joystick controllers.
