Ken Willard, the former well known designer, and RCM columnist, said that he was at an RC Floatplane get together and a friend was there in his full size Cessna. Ken bet him that he could fly his Cessna, but he couldn't fly Ken's RC floatplane. His friend
took his bet, and they climbed into the Cessna and once airborne Ken took the controls and flew around a while. They landed and Ken launched his RC plane and when three mistakes high handed the friend the transmitter. The full size pilot managed to keep things together for a few seconds, but when things went terribly wrong Ken took the radio back and landed the model.

Another story: A friend of mine (an RC pilot) lost the signal on a ten footer and it flew out sight. He and two friends rented a 4 place Cessna the next morning to go look for it. The pilot must have misunderstood and thought my friend was a full size pilot wanting to go find a full sized plane, so when out on Active and lined up for take off he asked my friend in the right seat if he wanted to fly the plane. "Sure!" my friend said, and as he often did when taking his model off, rammed the throttle to full power, sending all to the seat backs, the Cessna's nose 90 degrees to the left and heading for sugarcame off the runway! The pilot quickly retarded the throttle, and hit the brakes to keep from harvesting any cane, straightened out and again headed for take off. As they left the ground he said to my friend, "Don't touch a Da___ed thing until we get back and that better be just your door handle!" One of the guys in the back caught it all on tape. Got a huge laugh at the next meeting. Oh yes, they found the lost Yardstick, 8 miles away in a tree top, unscathed.
