Dude, tell the wasp up your pantleg story!!!!
Also, why are full scale pilots hard to teach? (I am a full scale pilot myself, but learned full scale after RC). Is it cause of the ego thing? :P As my CFI told me way back when. There are old pilots and bold pilots, but no old bold pilots.
Actually, it wasn't me but a guy I was with. Basically he tossed me his transmitter when I ran up to see why he was yelling and he proceeded to scream and strip off his pants. Try landing an unfamiliar plane when you're laughing so hard your eyes are tearing up and trying to keep your eyes on a model and not the Chinese Acrobats. Came out OK, wasp dead & plane survived. Glad it was a SuperStar trainer and not a helicopter.
I know the full-scale answer. In college I was in Avaition Club and got briefly into full scale. In an aircraft you're always looking out the windscreen and never at yourself from the ground as you fly. No sensation of banking or movement (which can be misleading, anyway). No ground or horizon for orientation of attitude. And, the false notion that it is easier because it's kid stuff.
