Yes indeed, RC flying is soooo cool. As far as you learning to fly RC airplanes, I've trained many women over the years and by far, women learn at light speed compared to men, which tends to irritate men, no end.

Some of the ladies I let fly, learned so fast, I could turn my back on them after the first 15 minutes of instruction. It's really funny when they tell their husbands or boyfriends "why did you tell me learning to fly was hard?" Why do women learn so much faster?
Simple, they didn't have any misconceptions of what they thought they should do. Women just did what they were told, nothing more, nothing less and then figured out what it took to fly the plane very skillfully and smoothly.

Take care,
