From my view, rated pilots have more problems learning some things than some banana
on the street. Meaning every rated pilot learning R/C thought he knew it all, thus causing him more problems. After a few trainers in the trash some went on to be excellent pilots but most quit in embarassment. I remember back in military flight school. Those who came in with a rating were last to solo because they also brought with them bad habits which they had to break. I remember a guy who brought out as his second plane-a P-51. We asked if he wanted help trimming but nope, he could handle it. Plane lasted couple laps of uncontrolable flight but nothing more than simple trimming could fix. he went out to pick up the pieces, went home and never saw hm again.
