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. :-)
