RE: Seat Time
I've logged a few hours of full scale training in a Cessna. Got so I could take off and land without the instructor touching anything. You learn the truth about how the climb rate is dependent on engine RPM and the speed is controlled by elevator trim. Just the opposite of how some of us control our overpowered models. But as far as helping with the actual hand/eye requirements of RC flying I don't think it's much help.
