Default My 2 cents

AgWings,

I started training with a full scale pilot buddy this spring.

We both got G2 (and he said it really helped him overcome his tendency toward disorientation.

While (at 40) I am not part of the Nintendo generation, 20 years of computer games made me real comfortable with the 3rd person perspective.

Anyway, I soloed about a month before he did (of course this is not a statistically valid sample).

My 2 cents, 1) try a flight sim, and 2) go to a field and get an orientation flight.

That way you can believe your own eyes. Who knows, you may be a natural at RC. :-)
