Thanks for your view. I have seen that this subject is a touchy one. However, I have a pretty level head on my shoulders. The other thing is that I built my trainer from a kit and I have about 130 hours or so of build time in on it. Also, being a college student, it was the next best thing from a miracle for me to have somehow scraped up enough money to purchase a plane, radio, electronics, club membership, AMA membership, etc that is required to actually begin leanring to fly these things.

My full scale knowledge is of benefit to me. Since this is a touchy subject, I do not advertise my full-scale experience to anyone at my field. I actually, refrain from telling people, because I do not want that to become a part of my learning R/C. I am a beginner to R/C all the way and would rather be instructed from the ground up than any other way. Any help that my full-scale experience gives me, is a personal thing, for me to enjoy.....not to bloat and gloat to other fliers.
