You can get verification from AMA that you paid for it. They faxed me a confirmation paper about 2 hours after I sent them my information. This paper is good enough to let you fly until your card comes in the mail.

I actuall talked to a couple full scale pilots about rc flying also. In my opinion, the biggest difference is going to be control reversal. You know, when its coming at you , left is right and right is left sort of thing.
