I STARTED IN RC WAY BACK IN 1989,I WENT THROUGH 3 INSTRUCTORS BEFORE I WAS GIVEN MY SOLO CERTIFICATION.I FELT THE 1ST INSTRUCTOR LOST INTREST IN TEACHING ME AND I FELT I WAS PLACED ON THE SIDE LINE.THEN I ATTENDED A FLIGHT SCHOOL, WITHIN A WEEK I WAS FLYING MY TRAINER ON MY OWN. AFTER ATTENDING THE FLIGHT SCHOOL MY 3RD INSTRUCTOR SOLOED ME AFTER ONLY ONE FLIGHT.THAT WAS IN 1995.NOW I LIKE TO USE THE G-2 SIM WITH ALL IT UP DATES TO KEEP IN PRACTICE.RIGHT NOW DURING THE WINTER MONTHS ITS HARD TO GET TO THE FIELD TO FLY,THERE ARE MEMBERS IN MY CLUB WHO ARE TRYING TO FLY AS MUCH AS THEY CAN.BUT I DONT FIND ANY FUN IN GOING OUT A FREEZING TO DEATH JUST TO HAVE FUN. RADIO CONTROL IS SAPOSE TO BE FUN.NOW WHEN I CANT FLY IN THE WINTER MONTHS AT MY CLUBS FIELD, I FLY AT HOME ON MY RF G-2 SIM,I DO THIS EVERY DAY WHEN I GET A CHANCE, BUT IM NOT TRYING TO GET IN THE HABIT OF HITTING THE SPACE BAR TO GET OUT OF A BAD SITUATION.THAT WAY WHEN I FLY AT THE FIELD, I HAVE TO THINK A HEAD AND CONCENTRATE ON WHAT IM DOING.LIKE THE GUY SAID IN APOCOLIPS NOW,"I LOVE THE SMELL OF NAPALM IN THE MORNING! THATS SMELLS LIKE VICTORY." THAT HOW I FEEL ABOUT SIMS- YOU DONT GET TO SMELL THE SMELL OF BURNED ENGINE OIL. THATS WHAT SIMS TAKE AWAY.
