Can the experienced folk out there let me know when a beginner plane flyer becomes an intermediate plane flyer ?
What is the criteria ??
$X amount of dollars spent repairing crashed planes....
X amount of hours in the air........
or just a gut feeling?
Welcome aboard, Ravencsr.
You'll notice that beginning flyers are learning everything, like flying straight & level, making turns without losing altitude, and taking off and landing.
Experts don't have trouble with any of that, they can fly many different types of planes, and they do special things like wild aerobatics or formation flying or perhaps flying scale models with lots of gimmicks, using the flaps & retracts, channel mixing, etc. all as a matter of course.
Intermediate flyers are somewhere in between
Good luck,
