CRASHEM, how hard is it really? Once the plane is off the ground and flying there's just left/right, up/down.
It couldn't be any easier....I really think most of these claims about how hard it is to fly a model is exaggerated.
I hear the same things from the guys I just met at the field where I'm going to fly. They snicker at me when I tell them I'm going to build a 120 sized Mustang over the winter, and learn to fly it in the spring.
Is there a bit of snobbery going on in this hobby?
I'm not sure if you are joking being sarcastic or are actually serious!!!
In any event I was speaking from experience not snobbery
About 13 years ago I had a nice P-51D I was in college at the time and had been flying a royal 20s ARF thought to myself I'll just take the p-51 up and fly a couple of nice easy laps 1.5 to be exact stalled it in a turn and put it in a spin that I wasn't experienced enough to recover from end of flight (3-4min) and end of plane.
But hey as you said how hard can it be!! Good luck with you 120 mustang
