Getting back on topic here (sorry fellas.....), there are some ppl who will just never 'get it' when it comes to flying. A perfect example is a guy I started teaching to fly about 6 months ago. He's got some sort of perspective problem.....can't tell how far the plane is around a turn, when to level wings after a turn, or even when the plane is too close to us! I kept having to take it off him before it flew behind us or even straight into us. I'm not talking about once or twice here either....I mean all the time.

I had given him my simulator and told him to use it daily, but it didn't make any difference. He couldn't even successfully land the sim model. I don't think he ever would have got a handle on it. 3 months of learning and he only managed one successful takeoff without my intervention to stop the plane plowing off the strip or into the pits or something.

On the other hand, one day when I was teaching him, a friend of mine from out of town came out for a look. I handed the buddy tx to him after I took off, let him work out what the controls do and then didn't have to take control off him for 5+ minutes. He'd never flown anything in his life, but didn't have a problem with it at all. Didn't even get the 'coming towards yourself' confusion.

Some ppl will get it, some ppl won't. Just the way it is unfortunately.
