I did not even consider that you were being clever. I was trying to stress the point that people with physical limitations should not be looked down upon. I have a father and a sister that are both wheel chair bound and both have learned to fly R/C which has given them a whole different outlook.

The only training both received is the basics from me. Both go to the field with me whenver they feel up to it and both at first felt shy and reserved about being there but they quickly discovered that 99% of our members could care less about them being physically challenged and have treated them with admiration and respect and show them no pity, but are genuinely concerned with their well being, which is important.

Our club has made exceptions to our solo requirements and pilot certificates requirements for the boy and both of my family members which enabled them to solo and earn the certificates but it still was hard enough to make in challenging.

I personally grin from ear to ear whenever I see any one of them get hold of the transmitter and fly as well or is some cases even better than myself or some of our other members. It just gets on my nerves when someone puts down a person for doing what works best for them and it's painfully obvious that you gave the process you took some serious thought before you did it.

Flying well comes with lots of practice. I did go the instructor route when I started out and had a very good one.

Here are some tips that I have used for learning R/C and he even includes stick positions for all the maneuvers he describes plus a printable card to take with you.
