You are on your way toward being a pilot, Skyman, instead of someone that is interfering with the flight of a free flight model that some call an R/C Trainer. You have learned to fly, not interrupt the flight path of a model with a mind of its own. The idea of a trainer is to teach THE STUDENT PILOT how to fly, not do it for him with a robot.

I have taught so many people to fly in the last thirty plus years that I have lost count. I have never had a student pilot quit because he/she didn't know how to fly when I wrote them off to solo. All but a few were using symmetrical or semi-symmetrical airfoil equipped models. You can't argue with success.

If a new student pilot has problems with vision, hand-eye coordination, concentration, or other infirmaties, to the point that you actually need a flat bottomed airfoil equipped trainer to learn to fly on, they are in the wrong hobby. Take up eating at Cracker Barrel or CB as a hobby. You'll enjoy that far more than R/C flying.

I'm not being mean. I'm being realistic. I'll never be asked to sing opera. I wasn't born with the equipment and I know it. Not everyone is born to fly R/C. It's a fact of life.
