No one said anything about lying to newcomers, but when asked "Do they crash?" Of course they crash, so do full size planes, but no one tells new full scale pilots that "You will most certainly crash" in the learning process, which is what so many newcomers RC pilots are told.
CCR
I was 14 when I started in RC flying, and remember what one experienced club member told me "If you build your aircraft correctly and learn to fly properly then you won't crash"
Great advice for anyone. and I now have over 30 years crash free with RC fixed wing aircraft to support it.
