On the flip side of this discussion, my first time in an airplane was a Cess 152 and after talking with the pilot on ailerons, rudder, etc, he found my RC experience comfortable enough to give me the stick. I flew down the inside of Oak Island, banked the plane at the point and pulled her around to fly up the beach. Loved it. He let me have her for about 5 minutes and I enjoyed every minute of it. I think he would have let me fly longer but my mom was in the back and starting to freak out. Maybe he should not have swung out of his seat to show her where he lived.
