I absolutely love how this dialog is going on still, particularly that from Chuck. The reality is that you guys are pretty snobby old farts (in mindset, not nessarily in age), which is fine. That is your right, but Chucks points are dead on. While I may not be welcomed to any AMA event anytime soon, I am highly capable of flying a wide variety of planes safely using the said proticol I layed out above and only flew often starting about 9 months ago. I have since helped others use the same steps and they are flying well too.
The part that I find to be funny is how focused you guys are on failure. Are none of you guys coordinated or athletic? Bad vision maybe? Mouth breathers? All of you sound way too dependent on others. Do your wives dress you too [img][/img]
I am kidding about the above. I know you all are coming at it with the best interest of others in mind. However, it is time to expand your Horizons a bit in this Hobby.
See what I did there?

Hahaha, why because they have more experience than you and know how learning yourself typically ends in many crashed planes and quitting the hobby? Then yes snobby old farts.... makes since. How does being athletic or not have anything to do with flying an rc plane?
