Somehow I don't think that releasing the sticks on the controller for an RC plane is going to have the same effect.
The same effect, like? you dying? hmmmmmmmmmmm
I didn't read anybody say that it would. And I doubt that Mike would
insist that you stop. But you really ought to do what your RC flight instructor suggests when you're flying. If you're on the ground, ask what the reasoning is.
BTW, I've yet to see any instructors acting like DI's or shouting commands that must be obeyed. And haven't read that level of heat in anything up until now.
