Default RE: Who says flying is difficult?

It's true that simulators are very helpful getting 'finger memory' to make landing and other simple maneuvers easier.

However, that's not all there is to flying a model aircraft! The best fliers in the world have crashed and, in early stages, instructors will reduce the risk of this crash happening.

What are you going to do, for instance, if you get a tip stall on your landing approach when you move on to an aerobatic plane? Would you naturally avoid using the ailerons, which will make the situation worse, and concentrate on the rudder to recover? An instructor will help you through some of the things that aren't obvious.

Good luck with your flying. Lets hope your obvious and rare natural ability continues!
