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.

Howard, if you come to our field with your AMA membership and your new Mustang, we'll probably ask you some questions, like what your flight experience is and so forth. We provide a field for our club members, and training, and the safety rules say all flying must be done safely. We're liable for damage the neighbors and their property. We haven't seen a lot of trainees fly P51's safely.
However, if you are going to fly on your own property, without instruction, don't keep us in the dark here. Have someone video the experience, and post it here.
Nascarjoe, perhaps you'd like to explain this training procedure for us, here? Lots of us won't be making the trip, for economic reasons.
Crashem is not being rude or snobbish. I don't think I am, either.
Good luck,
Dave Olson
I thought it would be different here in these forums but I'm experiencing the same negativity I get at the field from you guys.
Just because it took you guys a long time to learn doesn't mean everyone will take a long time.
I think, no I know that I can handle a Mustang because I'm a natural athelete, and have been all my life.
I practice on my simulator.
I can fly anything I attempt to on the video trainer, and I don't see what's made out to be so hard.
Up/down, left/right.......Yep, it's hard.
