Hi:
happens that other´s experience is not a valid reference. It happens in R/c worlsd as in every aspect in life. ou have to crash your model once or twice before you learn the lesson
Also, we have to consider that when a good pilot does the landing procedure...it looks so eeeaassyyyy...!

I ´m instructor too. and from one weekend to another I always found the student airplane compeltely out of trim. When asking what happens they always said " Was my kid!!", "that little devil!" etc. , but later I knew the "kid" and was a baby of 9 to 12 months worried only about his milk bottle or was a tennager who does not care a s*** about R/C.

moe than once I have to land my model, run and take the radio of the shoked novice screaming to his model while rying to land. Never lost one, but almost... 3 feet half loop for recovering is more fun when is not your plane!!
