I'm an average r.c pilet ( no 3d crap)
Ya, you have the right to say most anything you want to. But you are asking for assistance from jet pilots, many of whom love to fly all types of model airplanes...from jets to control-line and including 3-D. Do you think it's nice to put down other's passion just because you don't like it or don't have the skills needed to fly it? All while asking for help from them. Bad form.
To those of you that have helped thank you. To those of you who thought I was putting anyone's style. likes or dislikes down you need to grow up a bit. Bad form is jumping in and whinning about a figure of speach. Like I said I had no intentions of bad mouthing anyone choise of flying styles or equipment. I use the word crap like many use the word "frigging"
I don't belive I was putting anyones choise of aircrafte or flying style down. If I had said 3d flying and the people who do it are crap then you would have a valid "fight" but I never said that at all. And you are right.I don't have the skills to do 3d flying, not even close. I don't even want to learn, I find no intrest in it, the same goes for heli's. Op's there I went and insulted the heli pilots. All I was doing was asking a simple question about getting into first time jets.
My simple question has been misconstrued by a few shallow people who get hurt so quickly by a simple word. Like those people are so rightous that they never use figures of speech.......Like I said before get over it.
I spent 11 words on the subject, yet you've typed a novel. We're all about flying, not ranting. BTW - No need to get worked up and wrap yourself in the American flag. No one here is infringing on your 1st amendment rights.
Back on topic... I just got my first jet recently. It's a Tamjet F-16 with a P-120SE. If you're a decent pilot you'll no problem flying it with an experienced turbine pilot by your side. I took off and landed the plane on my second flight and got my turbine waiver on my 8th.
