Show him this thread, so he can see for himself the comments on the plan.

REALLY, I bet it would be possible (Since he has simulator experience) to fly the plane succesfully with tame throws on it ONLY if he were to hook up with an experienced modeler via buddy box and learn to fly. If he try's it on his own... he will crash. He has 4 strikes against him once he punches the throttle on the runway... 1... its a tail dragger and an inexperienced flyier will groundloop the plane before it even gets off the ground. 2... The plane is NOT a trainer, and will go exactly where you put it... with no tendency to right itself. 3... He has got to land the plane, and again... since its a tail dragger... prevent a groundloop. 4... Its not a simulator... so crashes are real

I see success if he seeks out assistance... but otherwise... no freakin way.
