RE: I'm teaching a 747 Captain to Fly!
Treetopflyer: good for you. As former full scale pilot I've tried to explain to some of my friends that RC'ers live in a different world. I learned the hardway too. One advantage was I had years of experience in rubber power, free flight and U-control. The only advantage for a full scale pilot trying to ascend to the wondeful world of RC is he knows what makes an airplane fly and what each control does. It's usually just orientation that gets them.
