Overall I see what your saying, but I don't think you are an experienced pilot.
FYI... I've been flying since I was 12 years old... I'm now 30.... I'd call that an experienced pilot... I fly sport, pattern, and 3D.

Many of the points you hit on were "features" like balloon popping and stuff

you don't really talk about physics.
I'm not sure where you came up with this, especially since I had a whole section commited to 3D physics, heli physics, general physics, etc...
