SEAN

I understand what you are saying and now that I think about it more... You are probably right...

I just started flying with the RC CLub this last spring... I know I am not the norm... I baught a REAL FLIGHT SIM for the computer and spent last winter learning on that... I play on the Fight sim almost everyday even if it is only for a few min... I have raced rc cars before that so orentation hasn't been a problem... I really think it is a matter of stick time... I flew at my own club field a lot, but for a change of pace I went to an air field that is not club owned, and open to public as long as you have your AMA card and flew... THE BIP and my Eindecker... I love scale flying... unlike a lot who think it's about speed and hovering... Which on some planes it is! (GOD bless them) I like the beauty of the planes and I try to make them fly very scale... At the field ( I knew no one ) a bunch of guys came up and complimented the planes and my flying skill... saying how hard it is to make a plane fly like that... They assumed I had been flying a long time and asked if I had just moved here because they hadn't seen me before... I'm not a kid... 41 yrs old... Just love this hobby. LOL You should have seen some of the guys faces the first couple times I brought out the GEE BEE, most didn't think the plane would fly let alone me fly it... Like I said in my post... If I had listened to most at the club I would be flying my trainer still... I think it depends on the person... If they like Biplanes and they really want one... The WACO 60 I have is not real hard... ( To Me ) I'm sure it's easier then the Pitts / Ultimate. Just know your skill level... and ask for help... If someone buys it... puts it on a trainer box with someone and they can't handle it... set it aside till there skill level advances... But as I said maybe you are right... there are guys at my club that have been flying 10 yrs and still flying trainers... and crashing them... everyone is different.. Would hate to say YEA get one... and have them go out on there own and crash it.. and end up with nothing... Thanks Sean for making me think about it more...
