I help a couple of old guys fly. They both have vision problems. One is legally blind. How do we do it?

They fly airplanes they can see for one thing. But what the real trick is....... They fly the airplane, it doesn't fly them. And they fly it close enough to themselves that they can see it.

One flying field has a couple of guys going on their 2nd year on buddy box. No matter how often you tell them they are supposed to fly the airplane, not let it fly them, they don't seem to get it. But the old blind bats get it. And do it. You can too.

BTW, when you are learning and just flying by yourself, your Nexstar is most probably going to be flying you for awhile. You really need to find an instructor and learn the hobby with him until you can fly the airplane, not it fly you. I've yet to have a beginner come close to being in control of the model for the first flight. Save yourself some money. If you don't plan to find an instructor, try some other hobby instead.
