Default RE: I am starting to hate 3d flying

OK,
I only read a few of the responces.
To say you HATE something is a bit extreme, don't you think?

I understand where you are coming from. Having only flown for a couple of years 1 learning , 1 3D, I have witnessed some hap-hazard flying. Mind you not all was performed by 3D "pilots". I have seen everything from reckless helis' , trainers, and, experienced scale pilots, along with a few 3D pilots.

Now,
I've been known to get it down on the deck and have a mishap, and have witnessed some mishaps on video, performed by more experienced pilots than I.

Don't get me wrong , anyone learning 3D would benifit from some foamy and flight sim stick time , but not everyone can afford electric or sim programs.

If you happen to see someone in a bad situation maybe, just maybe, you could offer up an area to practice. Or see if someone could loan a sim to such a person.

I am a Profile Brotherhood member and have yet to meet someone who flys or wants to fly 3D intentionally want to cause harm to anyone at any time. Remember, you once wanted to fly well and had many accidents learning to do so. Just because someone wants to fly 3D out of the gate doesn't mean you exile that person from flying . It just means that person needs a little help from veteran fliers such as yourself and any other pilots who may want this great hobby to grow.

I hope this doesn't start a big bashing event as others have had happen here. Good Luck and keep'em interested.
