O.K., that's two of you..........
And you've had how many agreeing with your method? Hmmm, let's see, there was Wings (who was self-taught) and ??? I've seen a suggestion that it is ok to stand behind the plane when first learning to fly, but the suggestion of moving the antenna around while flying seems to be defended mostly by ... you. Nobody said the pilot had to stand "stock still". I turn toward the plane as it moves around. I said it's pathetic to be twisting ones body and transmitter around to compensate for never learning how to control an R/C vehicle when it is coming toward you.
I'd rather be trained to fly the right way by experts rather than having to contort my body to have the transmitter antenna point in the plane's direction of travel because my instructor could not teach me to handle the plane when it was coming toward me without such gyrations. As you said,
to each his own.
