Although the controls are somewhat different, with the AeroAce being a 2-channel plane, the main thing that you will be learning is 3-dimmensional spacial orientation. You will be learning about control reversal (when the plane is flying toward you it needs steering input that is completely opposite of what your intuition will tell you to do), respect for the wind and trees, etc. Plus, you will be having a ball learning to fly and will not need to wirry about crashing because the AeroAce is virtually indestructable.
